September 10, 2024 at 12:32 amBoth our boys are now attending with the eldest about to ‘graduate’ this year. The team are super welcoming, patient and compassionate and have been absolutely incredible in the way they have coped over the last 2 years of uncertainty. The indoor and outdoor space and field is outstanding for burning off steam, I couldn’t suggest or rate the team and care provided higher! We have had such an incredible journey at Oakdene Childcare centre.

September 20, 2024 at 2:40 pmMy son started when he turned one in the baby room and is now three and attends the preschool. I was quite anxious about how he would initially settle, having been with me pretty much 24/7 before I had to return to work. However, I needn’t have worried. The team are incredibly inviting and comforting (to both kids and parents!) which made the separation for us both much easier to cope with. They go above and beyond to ensure your kid is cheerful and feels secure, which is all I could ask for as a parent. My son has made some lovely friends and formed strong relationships with team too. A special mention to his key worker, who is just fantastic.
The outdoor space is exceptional and I adore knowing how much my son gets to be outside and explore, whatever the weather!
I sense highly lucky to have such a lovely setting that I sense confident leaving my son to develop and grow in. Thank you Oakdene! I could not suggest Oakdene Day Childcare centre highly enough!

October 4, 2024 at 2:43 pmIt is a lovely setting with outstanding facilities especially outdoors. It truly is one big family! The team and owners are so welcoming and compassionate and they are passionate and attentive about what they do. The activities and provision are excellent and designed with your kid’s interests in mind. Our little girl has thrived since starting at 9 months old. They know her as well as we do and have helped her to make an incredible start to life. And best of all, she loves it! As a parent, all you want is for your kid to be loved, cheerful and secure and Oakdene have been outstanding in their adore and assistance for our daughter. We truly couldn’t ask for anything better. Our little one leaves this summer and I know that we will remember Oakdene as a place of cheerful memories and we will miss it greatly! Oakdene childcare centre is a remarkable place of enjoyable and discovering.

October 6, 2024 at 12:38 pmWe had a few separation anxiety issues with both boys and all the compassionate, attentive team handled it with expert ease looking after the tears of the boys and me! If it was a particularly difficult drop-off, they would call me to update me that my little one was laughing and giggling within minutes which truly helped to settle any doubts I had about leaving my babies.
Every member of team feels like family, we can honestly say we adore them as much as they have loved our boys over the years. I suggest them to anyone who is expecting a baby. The care is exceptional and I wouldn’t dream of using anywhere else! From the moment we first visited Oakdene Day Childcare centre with our eldest son back in 2015 we knew it was the childcare centre we wanted our kids to attend; every single team member said hello to us and, more importantly, cooed over our son and their adore for the kids truly shone from the start!
The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful, both of our sons have loved attending the childcare centre.

October 19, 2024 at 6:16 amI cannot praise them enough.
The majority of the team are long-standing which speaks volumes; it should consistently be one of the questions you ask when you visit a childcare centre. If they have a highly high turnover, something isn’t right.
The team are all incredible, but a special shout out to the manager who stole all of our hearts. My son still talks about her.
Go see it, you’ll see why we loved it so much. My youngest attended Oakdene Day Childcare centre and my only wish is I’d found them for when my eldest was at childcare centre.

December 8, 2024 at 5:42 amOutstanding care and lovely team. Everyone who works there is welcoming and expert. My daughter loves going to this childcare centre.
Highly recommended! Highly cheerful with the choice of my childcare centre, a lovely farm location.

January 6, 2025 at 8:43 amFrom day one the team and owner have been remarkable and it’s consistently felt like a big family atmosphere. The farm setting is excellent and my daughter loves going in every day. Thank you so much to all the team and the manager for providing such a excellent establishment. Highly recommended. So pleased and cheerful we choose Oakdene Day Childcare centre for our daughter.

January 14, 2025 at 2:18 amThe team are consistently supportive and welcoming. The childcare centre is truly accessible and has a lovely outdoor space too. We adore Oakdene Day Childcare centre our twins are highly cheerful here and we consistently sense that they are nurtured to grow into bright and inquisitive kids.
Billie Carter
February 8, 2025 at 5:03 pmSince our son started at just 7 months old, we have been nothing but impressed. The team are remarkable and consistently do their best for the kids. The facilities are incredible, such excellent outdoor space and new toys are consistently appearing! We are so pleased that we chose Oakdene Day Childcare centre.

February 17, 2025 at 12:53 pmMy third kid is now in the toddler room and she has flourished there. It’s a remarkable setting with a real family sense and they make excellent use of the outdoor space on the farm. It is now not the most convenient childcare centre for us in terms of locality to us but I couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else. All three of mine have loved it here and flourished and still talk about the team (older ones now being 9 and 6!)
The team have been so fantastic working through such a changing time but at no point have they provided a less than exemplary service and care. They have also taken on tasks that have helped my daughter so much like water playtime and hair brushing, and slowly working with her and us she has gone from fearing getting close to a bath to refusing to get out of a bath or swimming pool.
Ultimately, Oakdene is a fantastic, loving and nurturing setting and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to anyone. We absolutely adore Oakdene Day Childcare centre.

February 22, 2025 at 9:26 pmShe looks forward to going and comes out cheerful and exhausted! She has made lots of friendship with pupils and fantastic team who truly care.
The childcare centre has a real family sense and I would suggest it to any parent. My daughter has gone to Oakdene Day Childcare centre for about 18 months and she is highly cheerful.

March 15, 2025 at 1:48 amWe visited quite a few nurseries and had a long list of things that were important to us and as soon as we met the owner and incredible team at Oakdene we knew we wanted our boys to go there.
Our eldest started in 2018 and our youngest a year later, and they’ve both thrived. We adore how personal the care and assistance is, it feels like a real family setting and our sons have consistently felt secure and cared for there. They’re excellent at helping us if we’ve got any questions or worries, and they’re consistently there with a smile at the end of a long day.
They do so much with the kids, and the outdoor setting is exceptional. We couldn’t fault Oakdene, we’ll truly miss it when our youngest starts school. Would suggest to anyone looking for a truly lovely, secure and cheerful setting for their kids to go to childcare centre in. We absolutely adore Oakdene Day Childcare centre!

March 15, 2025 at 3:56 amThey worked so hard to settle our daughter during Covid times and she has thrived under their care. They are so kid-led in all they do and have built such fantastic relationships with her and with me as the parent who drops off/collects. They are so approachable and welcoming. We couldn’t be happier at Oakdene. Would highly, highly suggest. We adore Oakdene Day Childcare centre.

April 12, 2025 at 7:33 pmBoth my partner and I work full time, so both boys have attended Oakdene from a highly young age – in fact, weeks! It takes a lot as a Mum to leave your kid at that early age with the high expectation that someone else is actually going to bring your kid up, realistically has more hours of contact with your kid, and there is no better place than Oakdene to give kids a solid start to life. The team vary in age and journey but add such quality to the whole journey. My son who started in the baby room when only weeks old is now settled within the pre-school room. He attends full-time, and if able to, he would attend at weekends and sleepovers.
Oakdene is a family run childcare centre with incredibly passionate team who strive to develop each individual to their true potential. Teamwork and passion shine through at Oakdene. I can not suggest Oakdene enough. You are all truly incredible! My second kid is currently attending Oakdene Childcare centre.

April 23, 2025 at 4:40 pmThe team are lovely, consistently sweet and gentle to our daughter and greeting her with smiles. The facility is well maintained and the kids are engaged in a variety of activities, crafts, sensory playtime, reading, singing and outdoor playtime. My daughter is cheerful to be dropped off every day and feels at home in Oakdene Day Childcare centre. The team take into consideration any request from the parents and follow it diligently (sleeping patterns, medication, dietary requests) The only improvement point I would suggest would be to perhaps offer a larger variety of vegetables in the meals although I understand they need to appeal to all kids and a bit more attention to cleaning up the hands and faces after eating. Overall we are truly cheerful with the care and attention our daughter is getting and she consistently surprises us with new songs she’s learned. Would highly suggest Oakdene to prospective parents. Our daughter joined the baby room at Oakdene Day Childcare centre 6 months ago and settled highly quickly.

May 3, 2025 at 6:33 amMy eldest attended from the age of 6-months until he left to go to school this last autumn, and my youngest currently attends 4-days a week, he’s also been going since 6-months and is now 2-years. I trust them 100%, and both my kids have been incredibly cheerful, well looked after and have had so much enjoyable there! I will genuinely miss seeing the team every day once my 2-year-old leaves to go to school; it’s become a home away from home. The manager and the whole Oakdene family are the best there is. The entire team at Oakdene are remarkable.

May 7, 2025 at 2:11 pmOur son has formed genuine relationships with the members of team who are consistently compassionate and supportive of his development. It is professionally run and I have absolute self‑assurance in the team to look after my kid! We could not be happier with Oakdene Day Childcare centre.
Jamie Bailey
June 2, 2025 at 11:55 amShe’s been there since she was 10-months old and is now nearly two and about to move up to the toddler room. The team are so welcoming and attentive, it feels like all those we come into contact with, not just her key worker, have truly taken the time to get to know her. Most of the team have been there a long time too, this is definitely a highly great sign. One of the key factors for us when choosing a childcare centre was the opportunity for the kids to spend lots of time outdoors, something they definitely do at Oakdene Day Childcare centre! They do such a range of activities there, and we adore reading the daily report to see what she’s been up to. The food is varied too and cooked on site. Oh, and if you’re worried that your little one won’t nap at childcare centre, don’t be, the team worked out what suited our daughter and worked their magic. We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives at Oakdene Day Childcare centre, she absolutely adores it and is truly thriving.

June 15, 2025 at 12:30 amAll the team are just lovely, make us all sense at home, and we have 100% self‑assurance that she is being well looked after and given plenty of adore and affection. She is 20-months, and the first thing she said this morning was ‘childcare centre again’, full of excitement. Oakdene was fantastic with settling in following a year of lockdown, she was given plenty of time and attention, and it all felt highly relaxed. I would suggest it to anyone! We are so cheerful our daughter is at Oakdene, she loves it, and we sense it is helping her develop into a confident, bubbly and bright toddler.

June 15, 2025 at 1:40 amWe have had our son there for a little over a year and he has absolutely thrived under the exceptional team at Oakdene. Every member of team is so welcoming and welcoming, it feels home from home there. My son consistently has an exciting story to tell in the car on the journey home and he skips in every morning excited for the day ahead, its the most comforting thing to know that your kid is cheerful. We are so unbelievably impressed with Oakdene Day Childcare centre.
