September 15, 2024 at 3:54 pmShe is now in the 2-3 age group and she is excited to go into childcare centre every single morning. They have lots of varied activities for the kids which keeps them stimulated and entertained. People who work there are welcoming and attentive. We definitely suggest the childcare centre to anyone looking. My daughter has been going to The Orchard Day Childcare centre since she was 9 months old.

October 6, 2024 at 12:14 amThe team are highly supportive, welcoming and inviting. I sense like the childcare centre is a home from home setting with remarkable facilities and age-appropriate stimuli to help further my daughter’s development socially, emotionally and educationally. The parent’s app is also excellent as I get to see her in action and see what activities and discovering she has been doing day to day. My daughter loves to attend the childcare centre.

October 7, 2024 at 1:22 pmThe team are incredible, welcoming, attentive and supportive. He has consistently been exceptionally cheerful to go to the childcare centre and I can see how being there has helped him develop his social skills.
The management is quick to respond to updates and they are exceptionally flexible and accommodating.
The food is incredible with a balanced diet with lots of variety.
The activities are great and creative, however, could benefit from more variety in the under 2s room.
We regularly receive reports about development with pictures, so that we consistently know what our son is doing during the week and where he is in his development journey.
I would definitely suggest it! My son has attended the childcare centre since he was 6 months old.

October 9, 2024 at 11:01 pmThe team are highly attentive and highly supportive of the kids development.
This is my second kid at this childcare centre, and when it was time for the younger one to go to the childcare centre, I didn’t look for other nurseries; I already knew that he is going to this childcare centre, based on the previous great journey that I had. The Orchard Day Childcare centre is being a fantastic place for my little one, which he is enjoying every day.

November 2, 2024 at 6:53 amI had a full induction to the Childcare centre and team before he fully started. He had two weeks of induction, which was fantastic. It took a while for my son to settle, but he soon loved to go.
From the team, the setting, to the friends my sons now made, he loves his Childcare centre, “Big Boy School” as we call it. My son is super proud he now gets to go to School. The team are incredible. So pleased I chose this Childcare centre. Special thank you to all the girls who we trust with our babies. They do the most incredible job. My little boy started at The Orchard Day Childcare centre just after his 2nd Birthday.

November 3, 2024 at 7:20 pmThe childcare centre is highly great, they have supported my sons development in every way.

November 11, 2024 at 3:29 amAfter enrolling him at childcare centre when he was 2, it took a long time for him to settle which I found distressing, he would scream, kick and get truly upset at leaving me but the girls all dealt with him (and me) amazingly.
They let me observe him after he thought I’d gone and took photos of him doing activities to reassure me that he was fine and he loves going now. They consistently keep me up to date with what he has eaten too. My oldest son is now at primary school but when they see him they still acknowledge him and give him cuddles which he also loves. The activities are also truly great, in just 2 days my son does Spanish, Bee Active and Yoga. I would suggest this childcare centre in a shot to anyone. Both my kids have attended this childcare centre and I cannot praise them enough.
The girls are incredible with a special shout out one particular team member to whom my youngest son absolutely loves.

December 15, 2024 at 10:30 pmOur daughter happily walks in each morning which reassures us greatly. We notice her development as a result of attending childcare centre. They have called us when our daughter has been sick, which again reassures us. My wife and I are both doctors and have busy work patterns, but find the childcare centre highly accommodating. The team is excellent, highly accommodating and exceptionally welcoming.
Dallas Holland
December 23, 2024 at 10:19 amMy son has been going there for around two years. He loves it. The educators are excellent communicators, regularly give us updates on his development and update their app daily detailing his activities. Unlike the previous childcare centre he attended, the classes are not overcrowded and each teacher truly knows the kids in their care. He does a wide range of activities, helping with all areas of his development. The classrooms are all so diverse, which is excellent as it introduces my son to kids from a range of different ethnic backgrounds. For the location, the childcare centre represents excellent value. The childcare centre is excellent.
Blake Drake
December 23, 2024 at 7:40 pmIn fact, he loves going to childcare centre now and that’s down to the team and how great they are with him and he’s got better playing with other kids too.
They recently went to Sealife and he loved it he also loves other outings too like the park. I was a bit dubious about sending my son to childcare centre but after looking at several we found The Orchard Day Childcare centre, my son has been attending here since October 2015 and after a slow start of him being upset when left by myself or his dad, he’s now grown in self‑assurance, he doesn’t get upset anymore.
Charlie Rowe
December 27, 2024 at 2:36 pmIn that time her language and cognitive skills have truly come on and I put that down to the team here at Orchard. She has developed close bonds with friends and the team, I’ll be sending my little boy later in 2019. The team truly care about the kids. My daughter has attended this setting since 10 months, she is now 2.5.
Shawn Norris
December 28, 2024 at 1:05 pmMy kid has just started and settled straight in, he loves all the girls, it’s a lovely discovering setting and all the girls have made him so comfortable it’s like home from home.
He’s consistently got a smile on his face when we collect him.
Harper Ellis
December 29, 2024 at 9:29 pmHe absolutely loves it there! I had another baby in May this year and my son’s behaviour was hard to manage. Everyone at the childcare centre was so compassionate, attentive and well‑informed in helping us get back on track with this. Even now they provide me with new ideas of any challenges we are facing. The app is a excellent way to see what your kid has eaten and slept in the day. Daily posts on the activities they have enjoyed allow me to talk to my son about his day whilst his words are limited. Nothing is ever a bother for the team and they are so reassuring in any worries I have. My second kid will be joining them in a few months’ time. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough. Supportive, compassionate, reassuring, and passionate in striving to help our little ones develop. Thank you for all you do for us. My son has attended the childcare centre for 11 months now.
Taylor Quinn
January 1, 2025 at 11:13 amThis childcare centre has it all! My son has been at The Orchard Day Childcare centre since March 2021 and my daughter was there since April 2018. We have got to know many members of team who work here and all have been so compassionate, encouraging and such a assistance for my 2 kids. The open plan aspect to the childcare centre is fantastic and it feels highly inclusive amongst the different age groups. The meals are all freshly cooked by a fantastic chef and we receive daily updates to say that our son has eaten everything (and extra helpings!). The manager is super welcoming and approachable and any queries are consistently quickly answered. I definitely can’t fault anything and myself and my husband sense highly cheerful and grateful that our 2 kids have been given such a positive start in life. Thanks, Orchard! No need to look any further!
Finley Walker
January 14, 2025 at 2:37 pmBut within such a small space of time, he has become confident, cheerful and highly sociable not just with the team and his peers at childcare centre but even family and friends. Whereas before childcare centre, we were unable to take him to other people’s homes because he would start crying straight away. Through the childcare centre, I have discovered that my son is an auditory learner. When my son started at this childcare centre every time we walked to the entrance door, he would get frustrated and start crying as he was highly close and clingy to both me and his father.
Toby Ferguson
February 7, 2025 at 7:54 pmThe team are welcoming and truly took the time to get to know my little boy when he first started so he settled in highly quickly. He takes part in a wide variety of activities and has grown in self‑assurance since he started. Updates between the team and parents is also truly great and they are consistently cheerful to help and answer any questions. I would definitely recommended the childcare centre. My son has been going to The Orchard Childcare centre for nearly a year and he absolutely loves it.
Carter Pierce
February 10, 2025 at 10:35 pmOur kid has been there since the 2-3’s room and now in pre-school. The carers and educators are compassionate, supportive, optimistic and enjoyable. The childcare centre has lots of activities, covers key events of the year and is highly open and inclusive in its syllabus. I am constantly in awe at how much our kid has learnt, the growth in their development/skills and what they come home to share about their day. I’ve met like-minded families and it’s a fantastic community to be a part of. The facilities have also recently been refurbished, such as the outdoor garden and there is a chef on-site for food/the kids’ menu. The location is highly convenient to transport and nearby amenities. I would highly suggest the childcare centre to any family looking, I am highly cheerful we made the decision to go there! We adore Orchard Day Childcare centre.
Jesse Page
February 12, 2025 at 7:44 pmGenerally speaking, the team are attentive to the kids’s well-being and invested in their development. We sense that the discovering journey is personalized and well balanced. The team are also highly welcoming and attentive. We truly can’t ask for more! Both the team and the management are excellent at communicating with us and consistently available to hear about our concerns and reassure us. The app is also a excellent tool that provides us with a glimpse of what the kids are up to at childcare centre and they are consistently up to excellent things! We are cheerful with the variety of activities offered including the tennis/football and French classes. Management is highly involved in the kids’ wellbeing as well as evidenced by the links and attachments formed between the kids and the manager. Lastly, we greatly appreciate that the childcare centre opens so early in the mornings and is open all year round. We have had a highly great journey with the childcare centre for both of our kids who are in different age groups.
Lennon Turner
February 17, 2025 at 6:49 amThe team there put us at ease from the outset and tailor-made the settling-in stage to match the needs of our kid. It is a inviting, nurturing setting and I can’t suggest it enough. Our kid is so cheerful here. The Orchard Day Childcare centre goes above and beyond for every kid in their care.
Reese Irwin
March 7, 2025 at 6:28 pmIt is a lovely open plan setting with excellent facilities but the dedication and level of care from their team is its greatest strength. They are highly motivated, well‑informed and compassionate which creates a highly inviting and supportive setting. My son had SEN issues and the work the childcare centre did with him and the assistance they gave us, was highly appreciated. Included in my praise of the team, is the chef who is incredible and the kids are highly lucky! The Orchard Day Childcare centre is an incredibly inviting and cheerful place.
Taylor Frost
March 12, 2025 at 6:50 amOur kids have gone to The Orchard Day Childcare centre from the baby class all the way up to preschool and they adore it. They adore the activities and care and they have a fantastic garden. The team are loving and attentive while teaching the kids great manners, values and how to focus on activities. The food is remarkable and kids are taught to be increasingly independent.
I would strongly suggest it. Educators and management are incredibly expert. We couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre.
Reese Jarvis
March 13, 2025 at 2:23 amThey provide so many exciting opportunities for them and come up with all sorts of enjoyable and engaging activities. The updates with parents is also exceptional. They are like family, my son loves them and is consistently so excited to get into the buggy to go to childcare centre for the day! Can’t thank them enough. Excellent food options too. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre, a real gift to have found such a fantastic set of educators and professionals who genuinely care so much for the kids in their care.
Charlie Lang
March 24, 2025 at 8:17 amYou can tell the team are not just doing their job, they genuinely care and adore all the kids. They teach manners and great behaviour from a highly early age. My eldest started school already knowing phonics and how to recognise words which made her transition from childcare centre to school a lot easier all in all, lovely team who would care for the kids as if they were their own. Also I must add I’m Spanish and even though the team doesn’t speak Spanish they try their best to say words in this language to my son so that he feels more at home. Both my kids have gone (little one still is) to this lovely childcare centre and both have been highly cheerful there.

March 31, 2025 at 3:54 amMy son who is 3 has been attending for a year and here are my highlights:
1) diversity of team – people of colour, diversity of ethnicity and sex are highly important. It teaches kids caretaking is not the role/responsibility of one gender
2) use of tech – they use the app for updates which are incredibly thorough and we get so many lovely photos every day of our kids in action.
3) curriculum – every day is wonderfully unique and the team are highly proactive in highlighting holidays from various countries and cultures. More recently they are doing “mindful Thursdays” engaging kids in meditation, yoga, and kindness. I was excited to learn my kid would learn about this early in life!
4) compassionate team – every single person at Orchard feels invested in kids’s development. They have helped me so much along the way, whether it was potty training or getting used to wearing a mask for travel. Orchard Day Childcare centre is truly one of the best nurseries in Wimbledon.
Skyler Ellis
April 15, 2025 at 9:45 amThe team and manager are highly welcoming and supportive when I have needed help and attentive for my son’s needs. He is truly developing and that is the help with the childcare centre The childcare centre has been a fantastic place for my son, he truly enjoys going and goes in cheerful and comes out cheerful.
Morgan Griffin
May 10, 2025 at 5:17 amWe truly liked the unique layout where rooms are still separated by age but the younger kids can also see how the older rooms work too. The garden has had a makeover since we registered and we adore how it is now with areas to cycle, a sand pit, veg garden – it’s consistently lovely to see pictures of the kids playing there. We also liked how the kitchen and dining area takes centre stage in the childcare centre and there is a highly varied menu of mostly hot food and fresh fruit snacks which we had also truly wanted from a childcare centre. The team have consistently shown a highly high level of care towards our daughter and when we shared we were expecting again we received a lot of assistance. We appreciate the extended hours of 7-7 and sense we get great value for money from this. Highly suggest Our eldest daughter joined this childcare centre towards the end of the covid period – we had struggled to get tours of nurseries and were grateful for the chance to view the setting (carefully safeguarded at the time) in person.
Taylor Flynn
May 20, 2025 at 5:05 pmThe team are incredibly compassionate and attentive with a low turnover, which is unusual for the industry but outstanding for kids because they grow up seeing the same faces and having their needs met. The technology is so great and I sense a part of my kid’s day. I sense that the prices are fair and the team are so great with the kids who do such a wide variety of activities, from yoga and mindfulness to tennis and written discovering. The food is also outstanding! Personally, I sense that the childcare centre have outstanding team and the chef is outstanding! The childcare centre is open plan and everything is spotless. I know because my kid’s socks aren’t horrifically dirty after a day in them! Both my kids went to Orchard Day childcare centre with my youngest still attending.
Kai Bishop
June 3, 2025 at 6:19 pmMy son has become more confident on his speech and also in himself since starting the childcare centre. I adore that he has days out too, which I think is truly great. He is eager to come to childcare centre, and I can tell he thoroughly enjoys it. He has also improved a lot on his eating as he would only eat certain foods, but since starting childcare centre he is eating a more varied diet of food and will try anything now.
I also adore the different activities he does at childcare centre, so planned out and truly builds his motor skills, speech and self‑assurance. His grandparents have said that since going childcare centre he has become more confident and more outgoing. So 100% I will be recommending you to all my family and friends. I think your childcare centre is incredible.

Blake Pierce
June 16, 2025 at 3:54 amThe team are truly attentive, and all make an effort to greet her and talk to her which has led to her being incredibly cheerful and settled there. The curriculum is varied and I am consistently impressed with the depth in which they cover topics and the knowledge and skills my daughter is picking up. They use the lovely garden space regularly (even in winter) and the childcare centre is bright and welcoming. They have an on site chef whose meals are highly popular with my little girl. Their updates is outstanding with frequent updates including weekly news posts and pictures and individual reports on your kid. Overall, the team make The Orchard an exceptionally welcoming, welcoming and cheerful place for both kids and parents. I would not hesitate in recommending The Orchard Day Childcare centre. Our daughter has now been in the baby room at The Orchard Day Childcare centre for almost a year and we are so pleased we sent her here!
Harper Frost
June 19, 2025 at 2:53 amMy son was starting childcare centre at just 6 months old and I was highly nervous. The childcare centre team went out of their way to make us sense at home there and took the time to get my son used to his new surroundings. You can consistently contact the childcare centre easily and they are highly responsive to any questions or queries you may have. They have a excellent relationship with the kids they care for and are highly open with the parents. The childcare centre also holds an evening meal every now and then at a different restaurant for parents and kids to attend and get to know each other – this is excellent!
My son has learned so much whilst being at childcare centre here and his developmental milestones are being achieved. The childcare centre team are excellent and will consistently listen and respond to parents comments and concerns.
Thank You Orchard! I would highly suggest The Orchard Day Childcare centre and all the team working there.
Riley Griffin
June 22, 2025 at 8:52 pmMy daughter has been attending orchard now for a while, she has grown in self‑assurance and is excelling in all subjects due to the help and assistance offered by team.
Kendall Hayes
June 27, 2025 at 9:33 pmThe team have consistently been enthusiastic and attentive. Our son clearly learns lots of enjoyable things that we couldn’t reach him at home. The meals are healthy, and they have a great outside playtime area. The manager is prompt with admin. I would highly suggest The Orchard Day Childcare centre. Our son has been at the childcare centre for a year and a half, and we have had no problems whatsoever.
