Rowan Tree Day Nursery (Welwyn Garden City)

I highly recommend Rowan Tree Day Nursery (Welwyn Garden City). 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 staff teams. The facilities are brilliant, the children spend lots of time outdoors and the staff really care about their development. My daughter has food allergies and the team have been fantastic in making sure she has great meals, special milk and always go above and beyond to make her feel included at meal times. Above all, the management and all the room staff are fantastic, they are all so helpful, friendly and I know they genuinely care about the children. We have been very happy with our experience of Rowan Tree Day Nursery (Welwyn Garden City) and will be sad to leave when the time comes.

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. She is about to go to school in September so not many days left and I will be sorry to say goodbye to her nursery days. The staff at Rowan Tree are all exceptional and she has really bonded with several of the staff there. The kids are lovely too. It’s a fun, clean, safe and homely atmosphere. I love 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 learning. 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 good outdoor section too with lots of fun 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 daughter and my son both attend Rowan Tree Nursery and I would not have them anywhere else. I looked at many nurseries but Rowan Tree stood out head and shoulders above the rest. The nursery and staff are first class and the love and care they give my little rascals is second to none. My children love going to nursery and I feel 100% confident that they are safe and extremely well looked after. Communication is excellent and the staff can’t do enough for the children or the parents. The staff are like my children’s extended family, they all adore each other. Hardworking, dedicated and always putting the children first, I can’t recommend Rowan Tree Nursery highly enough.

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 love it! Each room and associated garden space is lovely and always updated with new toys, activities and layouts to keep children well entertained and safe. The best thing about the nursery is the excellent staff who seem to genuinely enjoy being there, the office staff are so flexible and keep the nursery running so smoothly (even through covid), the staff in every room have all been amazing – they seem to really care about our boys and cater to their different personalities and interests and have always given them lots of attention and affection, and the kitchen staff go above and beyond. Would thoroughly recommend this nursery and know of no better nursery in this area.

We absolutely love this nursery! The attention and care our children received is well beyond anything we expected. Our son has a speech delay. After informing the staff, they began a learning program that was catered specifically towards his needs. Now my son is speaking more and more and most importantly he LOVES going to nursery! 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 progress and dramatic improvement in speech are things my partner and I cannot thank Rowan Tree enough for. The management of the nursery is excellent. Cleanliness, especially during this pandemic, is excellent. My children haven’t even had the usual stomach bug that comes with starting nursery. I highly recommend Rowan Tree. It’s an absolutely amazing nursery with kind and capable staff!

My son started the nursery when he was 8-months-old. My son has learned so much in the nine months he has been here and has an excellent 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 wonderful relationship with two members of staff, one of which is a fantastic apprentice. I cannot recommend this nursery enough as they have listened to every concern and need we have presented them and the communication 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 learning that will take place.

Our child has been with Rowan Tree for the last three year, recently graduating before primary school.

We’ve had nothing but a positive experience and the staff have helped massively in our child’s development.

We look forward to their sibling joining soon!

My child joined Rowantree in September and settled in really quickly. The staff in her room are all amazing with her – welcoming, and caring and they are always 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 great, running an effective nursery and keeping parents regularly updated. I always feel confident that my child is being well cared for and enjoying her time at Rowantree.

We absolutely love Rowan Tree and feel so lucky to have secured a place for our son since January. The staff are like one big family, and the attention to detail, what they teach and the fun my son has is just wonderful. It’s a big step to start nursery with your first child, and Rowan has done such a great job at initiating the both of us! Would highly recommend and our son absolutely loves it.

Our second child will be leaving Rowen Tree this summer and off to school. We have had both our children at Rowen tree since the age of one, over the last 7 years. They have always been very welcoming, and both our children never had a bad experience. Rowen Tree have always been very informative of how our children are doing and what they have been up to that day. We are always 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 nursery that would cost less we have never considered them as both our children have enjoyed their time at nursery. Yes, I would recommend Rowen Tree.
