We have had a very positive experience with Orange Tree Nursery. Our child loves going every day. Everyone is so friendly and we are kept well informed of our childs development and what they have been doing daily.
The nursery is well situated for us too and has off road parking which we find perfect
when dropping off/picking up. It is also very safe with finger print entry system so no one can enter that has not been authorised to do so.
My child has blossomed since attending. They do lots of activities including crafting, role play, music, yoga, outdoor messy play, etc.
I would recommend Orange Tree Burton to anyone looking for a nursery.

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my child in The Orange Tree Day Nursery and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the kids. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with plenty of activities
that promote learning and socialization. I've noticed improvement in my child's confidence and skills since starting here. Communication with the staff is excellent, and they always keep me updated on my child's progress. I highly recommend Orange Tree Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe and enriching place for their little ones!

As a first-time mum, I was anxious to leave my twins in the care of a nursery but from the first day I visited The Orange Tree I knew it was the right fit. From the second you walk in, you're greeted with smiles and it honestly feels like I'm leaving the boys with family. The difference a few months
of attending The Orange Tree has made to their development is beyond amazing. They say you can judge a person by how a child reacts to them - and when I see my boys leave my arms and happily go to a member of staff for cuddles, it speaks volumes!

Friendly staff that I see when I fetch my grandson out on a Wednesday afternoon. My grandson talks about his day (what he has been doing including drawing plus lots more) Care of the children seems to be good.
Safeguarding is very good from what I've seen. My grandson loves being outside and joining
in the activities.
I don't see the food given but I am told he does eat all up and seems very happy.

The Orange Tree Day Nursery at Burton is one of the most fantastic nurseries in the local area.
When me and my child's father enrolled our daughter we were greeted with the warmest welcome by staff and management.
During our show around, not one detail about the nursery was missed. Each area was
described in detail about how it will help our child's development, growth and also allow her to have fun while doing so.
Since our daughter has attended she's gone in happy reaching out for all staff as everyone has made an effort to get to know her and create a bond. We've had daily dairies and the best feedback in an evening helping our home routine run well. Also alongside these we have some lovely images of our daughter thriving with the orange tree setting which fills me with confidence!
Thank you The Orange Tree Day Nursery at Burton. You're amazing.

I collect my granddaughter twice a week and I often just spend a few minutes watching her and she is constantly smiling but today I got to drop her off and she was so happy to be handed over to the baby room staff which was great for me! I always get a detailed review of my granddaughter's day when
I collect her which is great. In summary I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my granddaughter and would highly recommend.

My child was frequently coming home with scratches, bite marks, bruises, repeatedly being pushed, hair pulled, spat at, and trousers pulled down.
Management would fob me off with oh well, this happens in nurseries. As this had started to affect my child and was so frequent, I complained and met with
the owner, to see if she could prevent it from happening so frequently.
Her distorted views, and ridiculous excuses, that this behaviour is 'normal' within her nursery is completely unacceptable to any parent. Not the sort of attitude you would expect from someone running a nursery. Maybe if it was her own child on the receiving end of constantly being hurt, she would feel more understanding rather than expecting parents to just accept it. She was unable to grasp how this behaviour was having such a negative impact on my child.
Their latest Ofsted report clearly states that challenging behaviours need to be managed better by members of staff!

Reply from C Cammack, Commercial Director at The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burton

We take all reviews seriously and are committed to providing the highest quality care for every child. We are extremely concerned by this review as we do not feel it is an accurate representation of experiences at our nursery. The comments in relation to our Good OFSTED inspection are taken entirely out of context. We believe in open and honest communication with all parents. Where concerns arise we have clear procedures and our senior team (including the nursery owner) is actively involved working in partnership with staff, parents and children to find positive outcomes. It is clear from other feedback on this site that quality, safety and care are of paramount importance. We would urge any parents to get in touch and come and visit the nursery to experience this. It is extremely upsetting when we receive reviews that are not reflective of the service we provide, particularly where references are targeted to members of our team, but we remain committed to high-quality service for all.

We viewed lots of nurseries in the area for our daughter, as soon as we walked through The Orange Tree Burton we know we wanted to send her there. The atmosphere of the nursery is fantastic, it feels bright and inviting, a lot of thought has gone into the layout and decor of each room. The staff are
brilliant, really friendly and positive and easy to talk to. I'm incredibly impressed with my baby's development so far and I'm excited to continue to watch her learn new things with the help of The Orange Tree.

Great nursery with caring and attentive staff. Regular communication is good and any concerns (not we have had any) can be quickly addressed as the staff always have time for you. Special mention to the staff - our daughter loves them like family and is always so happy to see them.
Regular development
reviews and daily updates are always clear - definitely recommend The Orange Tree.

Outstanding! A fantastic nursery with a lot of great facilities to cover a variety of wants and needs, both of my children come home completely entertained and stimulated by the day and we as parents are regularly updated via the app on their milestones and moments of joy, the nursery is extremely secure
with fingerprint entry and overall is a lovely, inviting place - but the staff!
I couldn't personally hand-pick a group of nicer people I would trust to look after my children. They are so friendly and so welcoming both of my children adore them. They have no issue working with you to achieve goals with your little ones and will also help with advice and reinforcement when needed.
Honestly a credit to the profession!

My son loves going to Orange Tree Day Nursery, he asks if it is open on the weekends too. He has learnt a lot and is developing so much in his language, skills and manners I would say. Amazing staff, clean and tidy environment, yummy meals. My son learns new songs every day at the nursery and sings
continuously at home. Big recommendations to The Orange Tree Day Nursery and a big thank you to all team!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.685 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burton is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.685

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Burton is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
