    Rowan Tree provided an incredible setting for our daughter to learn and grow into a confident little girl. At home time she was so cheerful and excited to tell us about the activities she had done with her friends and the childcare centre team that day!

    The childcare centre team and management were consistently so supportive and approachable from day one. And when we were relocating out of the area, the childcare centre management were really understanding and flexible which made the whole journey stress-free. Even after our daughter’s last day at Rowan Tree, the childcare centre team went above and beyond to help us. We can’t thank the Rowan Tree team enough!

    Also, the precautions taken by Rowan Tree throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to keep the team and kids secure made us reassured and confident in sending our daughter to childcare centre. We would not hesitate to suggest Rowan Tree. Our daughter absolutely loved her time at Rowan Tree.

    We have had both our kids at Rowen tree since the age of one, over the last 7 years. They have consistently been very welcoming, and both our kids never had a bad journey. Rowen Tree have consistently been very informative of how our kids are doing and what they have been up to that day. We are consistently informed of what they have eaten that day.
    Like many nurseries the cost can be high but even though we have had choices available to us to go to a childcare centre that would cost less we have never considered them as both our kids have enjoyed their time at childcare centre. Yes, I would suggest Rowen Tree. Our second kid will be leaving Rowen Tree this summer and off to school.

    Consistently welcoming and nice to have welcoming chats. They sense like family, and the service provided to my daughter is exceptional. The team spend one-to-one time with her; they are very dedicated to my daughter’s needs, even when she needs comfort after morning drop-offs. My daughter has learned new things and starting to become more independent through the activities. This is definitely the best childcare centre and is home-welcoming and very spotless. I would highly suggest Rowan Tree; the team are exceptional.

    The attention and care our kids received is well beyond anything we expected. Our son has a speech delay. After informing the team, they began a discovering program that was catered specifically towards his needs. Now my son is speaking more and more and most importantly he LOVES going to childcare centre! He gleefully runs to the door and can’t wait to start his day. He confidently joins activities and sits with his loving key person, ready for the next. My son’s remarkable development and dramatic improvement in speech are things my partner and I cannot thank Rowan Tree enough for. The management of the childcare centre is outstanding. Cleanliness, especially during this pandemic, is outstanding. My kids haven’t even had the usual stomach bug that comes with starting childcare centre. I highly suggest Rowan Tree. It’s an absolutely incredible childcare centre with compassionate and capable team! We absolutely adore this childcare centre!

    My little boy graduated from the preschool room last summer and my little girl now attends the ladybirds room, so I have experienced all the different rooms and team teams. The facilities are exceptional, the kids spend lots of time outdoors and the team really care about their development. My daughter has food allergies and the team have been remarkable in making sure she has excellent meals, special milk and consistently go above and beyond to make her sense included at meal times. Above all, the management and all the room team are remarkable, they are all so supportive, welcoming and I know they genuinely care about the kids. We have been very cheerful with our journey of Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre (Welwyn Garden City) and will be sad to leave when the time comes. I highly suggest Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre (Welwyn Garden City).

    We’ve had nothing but a positive journey and the team have helped massively in our kid’s development.

    We look forward to their sibling joining soon! Our kid has been with Rowan Tree for the last three year, recently graduating before primary school.

    Our son has been there since he was 11-months and they have supported him and us as a family all the way through some very challenging times that Covid presented. Everyone we have interacted with has been inviting, expert and truly cares about doing the best they can. Our son is flourishing and we could not have done it without you. We cannot rate Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre highly enough.

    Rowan Tree has a real family feeling and my daughter gets really excited on childcare centre day to playtime with her friends and the team. My daughter learns so much from childcare centre and is consistently surprising me with new words and skills. My daughter has attended Rowan Tree childcare centre since she was 9 months old and I would not hesitate in recommending this childcare centre to any families looking for childcare.

    The team are lovely and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble and you can really sense that in the calming atmosphere the childcare centre has. This made settling in much easier for my son and for me! He settled in really well and it was reassuring that I could call to check on him if I need to, without feeling like I was being a nuisance.
    There is a real community sense at Rowan Tree which I believe the kids pick up and sense reassured by. My son gets so many opportunities that some nurseries do not provide, such as photos, a summer fête, and book swaps.
    Updates is outstanding, response times are quick, so help is consistently on hand if I have any questions.
    Feedback on my son’s day, and his development, has been excellent. I get lots of insight into what he has been doing day to day and also what milestones/discovering objectives there are for the month.
    I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Rowan Tree to anyone looking for a childcare centre. I am so cheerful with Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre and couldn’t fault it.

    She is about to go to school in September so not many days left and I will be sorry to say goodbye to her childcare centre days. The team at Rowan Tree are all exceptional and she has really bonded with several of the team there. The kids are lovely too. It’s a enjoyable, spotless, secure and homely atmosphere. I adore the Parentzone updates that ping onto my phone on the days that she’s there that allows me to see what she’s up to along with reports on different stages of discovering. There is a wide range of activity stations, lots of books and loads of things to keep the kids entertained. My little girl loves dressing up, the reading corner and painting. There’s a great outdoor section too with lots of enjoyable things for the kids to do. She particularly likes kicking balls around, the mud kitchen, riding the bikes and climbing over the balance beams! My little girl went to Rowan Tree at 16 months old and although she was a little hesitant to start with, she now very much enjoys her time there.

    The team are like one big family, and the attention to detail, what they teach and the enjoyable my son has is just fantastic. It’s a big step to start childcare centre with your first kid, and Rowan has done such a excellent job at initiating the both of us! Would highly suggest and our son absolutely loves it. We absolutely adore Rowan Tree and sense so lucky to have secured a place for our son since January.

    I looked at many nurseries but Rowan Tree stood out head and shoulders above the rest. The childcare centre and team are first class and the adore and care they give my little rascals is second to none. My kids adore going to childcare centre and I sense 100% confident that they are secure and extremely well looked after. Updates is outstanding and the team can’t do enough for the kids or the parents. The team are like my kids’s extended family, they all adore each other. Hardworking, dedicated and consistently putting the kids first, I can’t suggest Rowan Tree Childcare centre highly enough. My daughter and my son both attend Rowan Tree Childcare centre and I would not have them anywhere else.

    She has developed into a fantastic, vocal and intelligent person. In part due to the incredible assistance and development assistance from Rowan Tree. She consistently felt excited to go to childcare centre and to be working daily with her key worker. The trips, the events, and the special occasions all helped to ensure she found Rowan Tree a truly remarkable journey. Her needs were met at every turn and updates from Rowan Tree to my daughter and Rowan Tree to me as the parent I found to be executed perfectly. We were consistently informed and told to share our opinion, needs or requirements for our daughter. The childcare centre itself is well run and everyone is focused on ensuring Rowan Tree is an exceptional childcare centre for any kid, regardless of needs. My daughter started at Rowan Tree at a year old.

    Our daughter was instantly at ease and off exploring old computer equipment with a screwdriver which is an activity set up in the preschool. The team were expert, compassionate, clear and the kids were all off enjoying themselves and interacting with the team confidently. We now have both daughters at the childcare centre and as they have aged over the last fifteen months we have had journey of every room within it. I suggest Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre (Welwyn Garden City) without hesitation. Without exception, every member of the team we have met has shown a keen interest in our kids, delighted in their development and supported us through their challenges. Throughout the pandemic we have never had to wonder ‘what next’ or ‘what are they doing about?’ The updates from the childcare centre manager and office team has been exemplary. When our eldest is having a hard time separating from me, the team have been sympathetic, compassionate and full of ideas to help! Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre (Welwyn Garden City) is the best! We loved Rowan Tree Day Childcare centre (Welwyn Garden City) when we took our tour.

    Each room and associated garden space is lovely and consistently updated with new toys, activities and layouts to keep kids well entertained and secure. The best thing about the childcare centre is the outstanding team who seem to genuinely delight in being there, the office team are so flexible and keep the childcare centre running so smoothly (even through covid), the team in every room have all been incredible – they seem to really care about our boys and cater to their different personalities and interests and have consistently given them lots of attention and affection, and the kitchen team go above and beyond. Would thoroughly suggest this childcare centre and know of no better childcare centre in this area. Our eldest son was at Rowantree for 4 years until he went to school this September and our second son just started earlier this year – both adore it!

    My son has learned so much in the nine months he has been here and has an outstanding relationship with all the practitioners in the room. My son can put two words together at 17-months, is babbling/talking all the time, is very confident and has the most fantastic relationship with two members of team, one of which is a remarkable apprentice. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough as they have listened to every concern and need we have presented them and the updates between parent and practitioner has been everything we could have asked for. I cannot wait to see how my son progresses in the future and with his move to Ladybirds in September, we are very excited for the new discovering that will take place. My son started the childcare centre when he was 8-months-old.

    My daughter is really loving being in the Butterflies preschool room and has formed excellent relationships with both team and kids. The setting is really remarkable and every day there is a new and engaging range of activities for the kids to get stuck into. They are consistently encouraged to have enjoyable in the fresh air too, come rain or shine! Many of the adults are very creative and come up with exciting ideas! The Christmas effort was phenomenal! My son is one and in the Caterpillar’s room. The team up there are really remarkable and are so inviting, enjoyable, and nurturing. We were so grateful for the adore and care they gave him when he first started and it really helped him to settle quickly and delight in childcare centre life! This room also has lovely, engaging resources and a really cool roof garden outdoor area. We adore hearing about the sensory opportunities and the baby discos they have!
    The office team are fabulous too!
    Totally suggest! We have been absolutely delighted with Rowan Tree so far.

    The team in her room are all incredible with her – welcoming, and attentive and they are consistently engaged, asking how she is at drop off and let us know how she’s got on each day at pick up. The management team are all excellent, running an effective childcare centre and keeping parents regularly updated. I consistently sense confident that my kid is being well cared for and enjoying her time at Rowantree. My kid joined Rowantree in September and settled in really quickly.

    We were initially concerned about sending her to the childcare centre, but the lovely team at Rowan Tree made it so much easier for all of us. She absolutely loves it there, I find it hard to get her to leave these days! We sense incredibly lucky to be able to send her to such a fantastic, cheerful and attentive place. It has far exceeded our expectations. I cannot imagine a better place for our daughter than Rowan Tree.
