September 5, 2024 at 8:30 amShe struggles to separate from family and has consistently preferred to be at home, however, she lights up when she talks about childcare centre activities and team!
We’ll be increasing her hours from September and sense confident she’ll have a exceptional preschool year. Our 3-year-old girl started at Orchard Trees a couple of months ago and we’ve been impressed by the open updates and understanding of the team looking after her.

September 25, 2024 at 10:49 pmTeam are welcoming and approachable and seem genuinely interested in the kids and their development. The menu provided is varied, healthy and fresh. I would suggest this childcare centre to friends and family if they are looking for a smaller, attentive childcare centre. It may not have all the facilities of other larger nurseries, but I think the price reflects this. I have used Orchard Trees for both of my sons and have been cheerful with the standard of care.

December 9, 2024 at 11:30 pmThe babies consistently seem to be doing exciting activities. The food looks excellent and is consistently varied and healthy. Out little one consistently goes in and comes home with a smile on his face. The team are lovely and consistently have time to chat to you.

December 16, 2024 at 3:27 pmWe were truly nervous as to whether our eldest would settle as he struggled after lockdown at his previous setting. However, we have been so pleased with how well they have settled, and they are thriving. Every team member you meet is remarkable and truly personable. As this is a smaller setting, there is a real family sense and a highly tailored approach to each kid’s needs. Lots of remarkable activities and excellent updates about the kids’s daily routine and discovering journey. The childcare centre also goes over and above with numerous special events, such as a tea party for Mother’s Day, a coronation party and a school starters information evening. I would definitely suggest Orchard Trees. We moved our kids to Orchard Trees about six months ago.

December 28, 2024 at 5:17 pmI was tagged in a Facebook post for Orchard Trees, and at first thought, it sounded excellent but would be out of my way; however, it turns out it is a lovely drive out on a morning and almost exactly halfway between home and work.
Set on the outskirts of the village, the childcare centre and holiday club are on the grounds of a farm.
All ladies are consistently smiley and welcoming. The groups are not overcrowded, and there are consistently activities going on, so never a dull moment. The addition of their own minibus to go on trips or to the local park is exceptional.
Unlike most clubs, dinner can be provided as well as tea for a highly reasonable supplement on top of the already fairly priced daily rate, which includes breakfast and snacks.
An incredible setting. I couldn’t ask for more. What a gem of a find!
I returned to work in March after being made redundant due to lockdown and found myself stuck for the Easter holidays at short notice after my local childcare centre holiday club was shut down.

February 11, 2025 at 5:21 pmAnd both my wife and I couldn’t be happier. The team are incredible and have been excellent with her. We naturally worried about how she would be starting out, and we didn’t need to worry; they have and still do everything they can to make her have the best time during her days.
What’s also helped is how great the team are at keeping us updated throughout the day and also when we pick her up at the end of the day.
They spend lots of time doing extra activities like visiting the farm next door, and our little girl has come on so much since going.
We’d highly suggest Orchard Trees Day Childcare centre. We started our little girl at Orchard Trees (baby owls) at the start of the year.

February 17, 2025 at 6:33 pmHighly recommended. My 9-year-old boy loved his holiday club sessions.
Activities are planned in advance, so we could cherry-pick days featuring things he’d delight in like baking or den building.
Activities were flexibility delivered to suit the weather and individual kids’s preferences.
He’s asked me to plan another day to go as if it were a treat attending!
Also, truly great value for money.

March 11, 2025 at 2:51 pmShe has settled in so well and that’s down to the hard work and commitment of the team. It consistently seems like a lovely, inviting setting when we drop her off/collect her and we know our daughter is highly well cared for. We adore the updates via the app, the varied menu they provide and the whole ethos of the childcare centre. We’re so pleased we chose Orchard Trees! Our daughter started attending Orchard Trees back in April at 10 months old, two days a week.

March 14, 2025 at 10:26 pmI was truly nervous about sending my son to childcare centre at 10 months old, but shortly after placing him in the Baby Owls room, I knew he would be fine. The team are so lovely and welcoming as well as expert. They truly seem to adore what they do, which makes a difference. The food provided is also fab and makes life truly easy knowing that he can get a healthy balanced diet at childcare centre. I couldn’t suggest Orchard Trees enough; it’s an outstanding childcare centre. Orchard Trees is the most incredible childcare centre and I would 100% suggest.
Alex Rowe
March 19, 2025 at 1:48 pmThe team are attentive, expert, welcoming and highly welcoming. The childcare centre puts the kids at the heart of everything they do. I’m a big fan of the app, I adore being able to what my son is up to whilst I work. 10/10, would definitely suggest it to a friend or family member. My son absolutely loves it at Orchard Trees.
Drew Owens
April 7, 2025 at 2:48 pmWe receive regular updates on his activities, and the team are consistently highly welcoming when we want to discuss his development. He has developed bonds with team members and enjoys engaging with the other kids. I’m exceptionally grateful that he has been able to continue his journey, safely and comfortably during the pandemic due to the hard work and commitment of the Orchard Trees team!
They offer an ethos that I struggled to find in any other local setting, and I am confident my kid will continue to develop and grow during his time at Orchard Trees. My two-year-old son joined Orchard Trees eight months ago and is thoroughly enjoying his journey.

April 10, 2025 at 6:56 amExcellent to see a childcare centre with clear Covid risk assessments and great infection control procedures in place. EYFS explained and implemented. Such welcoming team in a perfect location. Lovely childcare centre, clear attention to detail such as materials used, space, natural light and not cluttered.

April 29, 2025 at 8:25 pmThey are highly supportive and supportive of any needs of the kids and parents. I find the hours highly great as they are open from early morning and offer later closing times. It has nicely decorated rooms, and the garden is highly nice with lots of games. My kid loves it there and enjoys every minute of it. The childcare centre and team are outstanding.

May 1, 2025 at 9:28 amMy daughter cannot wait to go to childcare centre, the facilities are incredible, the team are exceptional and go out of their way with the kids. The food is homemade on site. I witnessed my daughter eating mackerel pate which she ate and loved which did surprise me. I do sense this is a exceptional way for kids to learn about food. I would highly suggest this childcare centre and also the after-school club outstanding for after school and the school holidays. My daughter attends Orchard Trees Day Childcare centre.
Harper Reid
May 13, 2025 at 1:21 amHe had a fantastic nurturing time in Little Owls (aged 1-3) where he built remarkable relationships with his lovely key workers. He is now in ‘Wise Owls’ and is thriving. He loves all the open-ended activities they set up and I truly appreciate the endless patience they have for messy playtime, creativity and their commitment to spending lots of time outdoors. The team are consistently enthusiastic and welcoming and he goes into childcare centre cheerful every time. My son is a real chatterbox and they have all supported and encouraged him in his language development. They have also embraced his adore of stories and he’s read lots of new books with them that he can now recite at home too! I sense assured that he is well cared for, secure and secure and is given lots of opportunities to develop socially, emotionally and physically. My little boy loves attending Orchard Trees Day Childcare centre.
Jamie Morgan
May 23, 2025 at 4:42 pmShe’s been attending since she was just over a year and the relationships she’s built with team ate lovely. She’s come on loads in terms of her speech and development, comes home having learnt something new each day. I don’t have to worry about her at all and get lovely updates and photos throughout the day. The meals are cooked from scratch and I know when she’s there she’s being well looked after. They have a lovely outdoor space and spend most of the time outside which I adore. I think she prefers being at childcare centre to anywhere else! Orchard Trees have been incredible with our 3 year old daughter.
Quinn Finch
May 24, 2025 at 8:46 amBoth my kids have been excited to go to Orchard Trees for the day and I would thoroughly suggest it to anyone. They have been so supportive when I have had emergencies and the most important part I think, is that they actually listen to me and are willing to adapt if needs be. I currently have my 2nd kid at Orchard Trees, they are so supportive and well‑informed.
Milan Sutton
June 7, 2025 at 3:48 pmBoth my kids go to Orchard Trees and they adore it. The team clearly care for the kids and there is a great range of discovering activities for them. The assistance we have been provided by the childcare centre in preparing our eldest kid for school has been outstanding. Lovely childcare centre with fantastic team.
Sawyer Bishop
June 14, 2025 at 10:31 amShe’s now 2 and in the toddler room and comes home every day excited to tell us about everything she has done. I adore the app which the team use to update us about her day, we get regular photos and can check in throughout the day to see if she has eaten etc. The food sounds incredible too and highly healthy and I’m sure that having childcare centre meals as a baby has helped turn her into a highly adventurous eater! I couldn’t be happier, childcare centre has definitely helped her development, she seems to learn something new every day. My daughter started at Orchard Trees at 6 months old and loved it immediately, the ladies were so welcoming and attentive, I knew she was in secure hands.
Shawn Drake
June 28, 2025 at 9:51 pmI honestly couldn’t be happier with their care, everyone is so welcoming and approachable. The kids adore going, they have so much enjoyable they don’t realise they’re discovering too.
The longer opening hours truly help with the hours I work and they were highly accommodating around my shift pattern too.
The school drop off, pick up service is excellent and the holiday club is exceptional with access to the playing field and lots of different activities each day. Can’t suggest them enough! I’ve been using Orchard Trees for over 6 years, from when my eldest was around 18 months and my youngest has been going from 8 months.
