September 1, 2024 at 5:00 amMy 14-month-old daughter absolutely loves being here and seems to have a excellent relationship with all the practitioners. The team are so attentive and loving, we sense so lucky to be able to send our daughter here. I adore how much time she spends outside and the additional clubs that come in during the week – singing and dancing, arts and crafts, and sensory playtime. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our daughter. Cannot suggest Apple Daycare Dhoon House enough.

September 4, 2024 at 7:36 pmI cannot suggest Apple Daycare enough, from the team to the variety of activities they are able to provide kids with – this really is an exceptional childcare centre.
There has been little to no issues, but when I have had any concerns, the owner has been quick to alleviate them. My son absolutely adores the manager!
My son recently moved up to be with the older kids and is now able to participate in tennis and Mandarin lessons! Every time we drop him off he runs in and is consistently cheerful and enthusiastic at pick-up.
The level of care is second to none, they provide regular track and plans so that we can understand where our son is in terms of his development and this helps us to work on the areas that need a bit more focus.
I would be cheerful to suggest Apple Daycare to everyone – extremely great value for money and I wish our son could continue the rest of his schooling there! My son is now 2.5 years old and has been attending Apple Daycare since he was 1.

September 21, 2024 at 1:49 amI can honestly not suggest Apple Daycare more. They are absolutely incredible, the owners are so accommodating and incredible with me and my kids. They really have attention to detail when it comes to the early discovering and have consistently kept me informed with the development of my daughters’ education. The team is honestly incredible, like family to me. My daughters adore them and see them all like family. I will be so upset when my youngest has to leave to go to school as they adore it there consistently so cheerful to go. They have excellent activities also ones that normal nurseries wouldn’t accommodate. Such excellent experiences and memories made at Apple, can’t suggest more! Thanks, Apple Daycare. Both my daughters have attended Apple Daycare, my youngest still does, my eldest left to go to school but attended for four years.

September 27, 2024 at 5:16 pmWhat a fantastic and unique place. A real home from home, with incredible outdoor facilities. My daughter has flourished in this supportive and nurturing setting and has had a remarkable time enjoying country walks, and many outdoor and creative activities. The team are exceptional: so accommodating and thoughtful. We are so grateful to them all. They treated our daughter with understanding and respect, and her self‑assurance has grown so much as a result. It has provided my daughter with the perfect transition to big school and we are all so sad to say goodbye! She will certainly be back for holiday club! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this fabulous childcare centre. I sense so lucky to have found Apple Daycare.

October 8, 2024 at 10:57 amShe’s stimulated, cheerful and sleeps oh so well on the days she attends. I drop her off in the morning and she runs through the door without even so much as a backward glance at me. What more could a parent want? Fabulous childcare centre, fabulous team and a very cheerful kid. Outstanding on every level. My daughter is not yet 3 and has been going to Apple Daycare regularly for close to 6 months for a couple of days a week and she loves it!

October 15, 2024 at 12:03 pmMy eldest was able to be there for a little over three years. All of the team are compassionate attentive and welcoming. The activities that they are able to do there are exceptional, yoga, tennis, mandarin, drama and dance to name just a few. If you want a truly attentive and personal team to look after both you and your kids then I highly suggest Apple. We only left there because we moved area and it has been the hardest thing to do. Thank you to you all, you made the early years for my kids, magical, active, informative and educational all rolled into one and the kids have consistently been excited to go. Two of my girls had the privilege of being at this childcare centre from ten months old.

October 19, 2024 at 2:21 pmMy daughter has just completed nearly four years on a full-time basis at Apple Daycare. She has excelled already and is performing above her expected abilities to the outstanding care and development she experienced at Apple Daycare. She looks forward to returning there for the school holidays. My son has another two years at Apple Daycare before he is at school age and he is doing as well if not better than his sister. I am very lucky my kids get to spend their time in such a remarkable place. This is truly a remarkable childcare centre.

November 18, 2024 at 10:25 amFrom home cooked meals, days out in the holidays, enjoyable ways to learn and achieve the milestones associated with Early Years Foundation Stages – Apple provided a structured yet enjoyable day which has given my kids the perfect foundation for their transition into school.
The expert, welcoming and attentive team leave you reassured to know your kids are in the best hands. As soon as I arrived at Apple Daycare I knew my kids would adore it there and indeed they did. Apple Daycare is a fantastic childcare centre for kids and offer a unique home from home setting which my young kids thrived in.

December 9, 2024 at 7:38 amThe team have been incredible and were particularly exceptional when our son developed a severe nut allergy to ensure his safety. They have consistently shown so much adore, care and kindness to both our son and daughter we have consistently felt confident leaving them whilst we have to work. Our son flourished in the care of the pre-school teacher and is now more than ready for ‘big’ school as a result of her teaching. The Apple Daycare manager and owners have been flexible and supportive in helping us to achieve the best value for money – often adding extra days when we need at short notice (team ratio permitting!) and helping us to make the best use of Government free hours and funding. One thing we have particularly loved about Apple Daycare is the exceptional array of external providers that come in across the week to enrich the curriculum (e.g. dancing!). We couldn’t have asked for more! Both of our kids have attended Apple Daycare at both the House and Newgate Street and we have had a fantastic 4 years.

December 25, 2024 at 6:28 pmHe goes in smiling and comes out smiling. The online journal of his day with photos is excellent and often cheers me up on the train home from work. The hours are very great and we adore all the outdoor activities he gets involved with. It’s excellent that as he gets older he will get involved in so many more of the enjoyable activities. Our kid has settled in very well to Apple Daycare, which has made returning to work following maternity leave much easier.

January 20, 2025 at 2:58 pmApple is a remarkable and an incredible place with the most exceptional team. Our little boy learnt so much whilst he was there and walked into school confident, cheerful, and well rounded. He was given so many incredible opportunities and experiences at Apple from multi-sports, forest walks, and drama, to phonics and yoga. The team consistently greet you with a smile and have time for you as parents, but most importantly for the kids. My daughter is now there and I couldn’t suggest Apple more highly. Our son graduated from Apple Daycare in August and has been there since he was nine months.

January 21, 2025 at 3:48 pmI can see that he very much benefits from this place in terms of his development, especially now when he is older and takes part in various new activities. Still, I appreciate the most how much the practitioners care about him. I would really struggle otherwise to leave him at any childcare centre, but here I sense they really do care. The management is also outstanding, consistently understanding and very supportive. Our 2 years old started at Apple as a baby and has loved it ever since.

February 5, 2025 at 11:48 amThe team are consistently welcoming and are remarkable with the kids. They have a excellent variety of activities every day and provide the kids with a fantastic range of activities. My daughter went to Apple for four years and my son has been going for a year now.

February 23, 2025 at 6:41 amCompared with a previous childcare centre my eldest attended the value for money is outstanding because it has so many external providers coming into the setting to run sports, circus, dancing, etc. It really does add to the overall enjoyable they have. The discovering in creative ways is also outstanding and I sense they have both been so well prepared for school. I adore the fantastic fields that surround the childcare centre and the large indoor space they have in the hall. Tapestry updates are outstanding and we receive multiple photos and updates daily. I am sad for them to leave as know they truly have been really well cared for and have loved their time here. I’d have no hesitation to suggest the childcare centre. Apple Daycare Hertford has been absolutely fantastic for both of my sons.

March 18, 2025 at 7:04 amAs a parent feeling that self‑assurance in the place where your kid spends a large proportion of her time is priceless. She was supported both educationally and emotionally and the all round package of care was exceptional. Our kid left Apple as a cheerful and confident 4-year-old and we will consistently be grateful for the substantial part Apple played in that and would therefore, have no hesitation recommending Apple Day Care. Our daughter attended Apple Day Care for approximately 3 years and we can honestly say that in that time she was nothing but content and cheerful.

March 30, 2025 at 8:21 pmOur son loves going to Apple Daycare. There are loads of lovely activities including forest walks. Our son is making excellent development, updates, social skills and academic areas. It’s a positive journey.

May 12, 2025 at 11:24 amMy kid loves it and wants to go at weekends. She is so much happier than at her previous childcare centre and there has been a massive improvement in her social and overall development. There is a real emphasis on outdoor activities – walks, adventures in the woods, gardens, outdoor playtime etc. It is extremely structured and the online journal shows you what they have been up to almost hourly. Team are excellent and the manager, in particular, is exceptional. Apple Daycare is a remarkable, homely, well-run childcare centre.
Dakota Blair
May 17, 2025 at 3:26 amMy daughter settled very quickly here and she looks forward to attending her sessions twice per week. She has made loads of development since starting in the areas of language development and in her self‑assurance to interact with others. The team are welcoming, approachable and expert. I would highly suggest. An outstanding childcare centre.

May 27, 2025 at 3:53 pmAside from that, I’ve consistently been pleased and very relaxed leaving my kids with the lovely team at Apple. They provide a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere especially for the young ones being in a home setting where they instantly sense at ease. I’m also particularly pleased with the focus on outdoor discovering and getting the kids outside. My son started at 14 months and he’s loved it from the moment he started. For the older ones (two and a half to school age) there is a vast array of daily activities for the kids. Over the years my daughter partook in horse riding, tennis, martial arts, ballet, street dance, circus skills, football, mandarin, drama – to name but a few! She was so sad to leave but when she did she came out cheerful, confident in her abilities and school-ready. Both of my kids have attended this childcare centre; the eldest has gone off to school where the teacher commented on how far advanced Apple kids alway seem, particularly with writing and drawing.

May 28, 2025 at 7:56 pmMy eldest was there 2013 – 2019 and my youngest since 2017. I could tell you about the remarkable activities and ethos the childcare centre has, but what really reassures me that I picked the best childcare centre for my kids, is the adore my girls have for the team. Seeing my baby snuggled up on a shoulder, or when I pick the girls up at the end of the day and they run back and give a huge cuddle to their key worker. This adore they have for the team shows me that they are relaxed and sense secure in the childcare centre, which to me is the most important thing. I would often ask my eldest what she had done at childcare centre and get the response “nothing”. Thank goodness for the remarkable day logs and photos, showing her horse riding, acting on the stage, running around the fields, playing in the park or sitting down to learn Mandarin. They also log what they eat each day and the kids are far more adventurous at childcare centre than they are at home. I look forward to the newsletter and see what excitement is coming. This is an incredible childcare centre.
