    He has learned so much and progressed so well. The team are consistently welcoming. The outside area is incredible! I would highly suggest Yew Trees! My son has attended Yew Trees Childcare centre for two years and absolutely loves coming to childcare centre.

    We adore that they take the kids outside every day for nature walks, to playtime in the mud kitchen, help with the chickens, or board the pirate ship. All the team are incredible. The updates is excellent, with daily informal chats and lots of updates through the app. Their patience and kindness when he first started and he/we found it hard, was so supportive. We are highly grateful to all the team for everything they’ve done for him and highly suggest them. We’ve been sending our son to Yew Trees Childcare centre for the past two years and it’s been fantastic.

    It was natural to reserve a space for my second daughter as soon as I knew I was expecting! Both my daughters have benefitted massively from the experienced and hugely attentive team. The abundance of outdoor space and activities all year round are excellent and have truly helped my girls to develop; language, self‑assurance, social skills and so much more come on in heaps and bounds! It was the space and childcare centre setting that first attracted me to Yew Trees, but the team who cemented my decision. I couldn’t suggest them highly enough. My youngest is now in babies and throws herself into the arms of her key worker – she adores her! The team truly do go above and beyond; I can’t suggest them highly enough – it made going back to work easier! Yew Trees are a fantastic childcare centre, my first daughter went through from babies to pre-school and absolutely loved it, she went every day with a smile on her face and consistently looked forward to it, and she was brilliantly prepared for starting school last Sept.

    The Toddler Room provide exceptional care for my twins. Their key workers have made so much effort to get to know their different personalities and provide the assistance that is specific to their needs. The daily report is consistently excellent to read and the updates from the team in the room is consistently fab. The girls adore going outside and adventuring and the outdoor space is incredible!
    I would 100% suggest Yew Trees. I am so cheerful with Yew Trees Childcare centre.

    He absolutely loves it. The team are all so welcoming, they do lots of remarkable things with the kids and I have noticed my son’s development has been excellent since starting here. The app is remarkable, updating you on what they have eaten, slept and done. I honestly would suggest Yew Trees Childcare centre to anyone looking for childcare! My son has been in the toddler room since January of this year.

    Truly built relationships with my son and the other kids. So much enjoyable was had by him and he has learnt masses as well. The app was updated daily with all the information you would need. The team were incredible.

    The childcare centre team are exceptional and consistently listen to any concerns and are consistently flexible to change the routine to help development any feeding/napping schedules. The food is perfect, lots of vegetables and fruit as snacks and my daughter has learnt to adore healthy foods because of what she is eating at childcare centre. The app is second to none and I can see at the touch of a button what my daughter has done everyday and how long she has slept for. Each week the key worker will post a development update which is personalised to the individual kid with goals and photos. Overall the childcare centre has exceeded anything I could have thought we would need from a childcare centre. Keep up the great work. Thank you! My daughter loves going to childcare centre, she has a big smile every time she sees her key worker!

    Our eldest joined the baby room and went through to preschool with our youngest being partway through the same journey. The team are excellent, the setting is incredible, and the activities that our kids delight in are exceptional. They have both enjoyed every day, particularly the variety of things they do on a daily basis. The meals are outstanding, and it’s a real comfort to know that our kids are well-nourished. It can be difficult leaving your kids anywhere whilst going to work, but Yew Trees has consistently been a place that they delight in going to, which makes the decision so much easier. Both of our two have formed highly close bonds with their key workers and other team, and they are truly attentive. Our daughter barely looks back as she marches in happily every morning, which is a excellent sign in our eyes! Yew Trees is a excellent childcare centre, and both of our kids have thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

    He absolutely loves it. The team are so attentive, we sense that he is properly looked after and encouraged to develop his own personality every day. I adore how much they get them outside into the fresh air and all the lovely activities they do every day. The app is excellent, I adore the daily updates and photos, and the food looks exceptional. Our little boy has been going here full-time since he was ten months old.

    The team are so compassionate, welcoming and genuinely treat your kid as their own. They genuinely care and have the best interest of the kids at heart. I have never had any doubts or worries about sending my kid here, in fact, my daughter loves it so much that she barely wants to leave in the evening. The updates between parent and childcare centre is outstanding, the setting is second to none and I would not even consider any other nurseries after the exceptional journey we have had at Yew Trees. I could not suggest a childcare centre more than Yew Trees.

    He had a highly difficult two years at the start due to his health, and the childcare centre was amazingly supportive and accommodating throughout. My little girl has now been there for 18 months, and she has progressed so well. She was exceptionally attached to me, and her key worker in the baby room went above and beyond to help her settle and make me sense at ease. The team are welcoming and welcome each kid into the setting at the start of the day. Information on what they’ve been up to is shared on the app, and it’s lovely to get updates and see pictures of their daily activities. A real positive of Yew Trees is the setting. Kids spend a lot of time outside exploring and doing lots of forestry-style activities, which is excellent. Overall, a fantastic childcare centre with excellent team and management. My son recently finished his time at Yew Trees, and we were so sad to see him leave.

    The journey has been remarkable. The kids absolutely adored their key workers and loved going in which was a huge relief. The team all go above and beyond to ensure the kids have enjoyable and are cheerful. They spend lots of time outdoors which was important to us. The meals sound delicious and healthy. Team are also truly great at communicating with you as parents both via the app and face-to-face. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre. Both my son and daughter attended the baby room and the toddler room at Yew Trees.

    My other two sons have also attended, which shows my self‑assurance in such a fantastic childcare centre. The transition between rooms has consistently been seamless, and each key worker has consistently been super compassionate and expert. The facilities at Yew Trees are what truly impress me, such a fantastic outside playtime area and equipment to playtime on; I adore the walks the kids go on, and being a lover of nature, I am a huge fan of their ethos of being outside come rain or shine. The daily updates on the app and quick responses to messages are lovely to read. The management is so supportive and has consistently tried to accommodate extra sessions for me. The food offered is also exceptional, with themed menus and a fantastic variety, accommodating any dietary needs. I would highly suggest this childcare centre, so much so, when I chose it, I didn’t even need to view any others, I just knew it was perfect for our family. I currently have my third son attending Yew Trees in the little learner’s room.

    A member of team is absolutely incredible and our little one gets excited to see her (and the other team) when he goes into childcare centre. He has developed well since starting and we sense childcare centre has truly helped his self‑assurance.
    They all seem to truly know their stuff and care about the little ones in their care. We get regular updates through the app which is truly reassuring as you can see what your little one is getting up to during the day. The team are consistently welcoming and cheerful to chat through any changes to routines or developments and are consistently excellent if you have any questions.
    We adore the outside space available! And it is incredible that the kids get to spend so much time outside
    The team consistently seem to work hard at providing different activities for the kids including getting messy and we adore the crafts and cards which come home as well.
    Thank you Yew Trees you are incredible! We were truly nervous about our little boy starting childcare centre, however, the team have made it highly easy.

    From day one, the team have made my daughter sense so comfortable, she absolutely loves it here, and I can’t suggest them enough.
    Five stars from us! After my daughter’s previous childcare centre closed down, we thought it would be difficult for her to settle elsewhere.

    I moved my kid from another childcare centre to here and it was the best decision ever. The team are incredibly approachable and welcoming, many having worked at this location for most of their career. My daughter loves the outside space and playtime equipment available. Healthy food choices and a excellent app to check in on your little one if you sense you need it. Incredible.

    My son also attended for three years. It is an incredible setting with team who truly care about the kids and take the time to involve parents. My kids learnt so much whilst having enjoyable. My son (8) still talks about his time there with such happiness. They have been truly flexible with me booking additional days and will try to accommodate this when they can, which for a working parent is so supportive.
    The food consistently sounds delicious and varied. Neither of my kids has ever complained! They embrace different cultures and traditions, celebrating with specific activities and food. They offer free playtime involving lots of outdoor time playing in the huge outdoor space, sometimes with the chickens! They go on walks and outings and consistently come home talking about their day. The team have become like extended members of the family without even realising it! It will consistently be a special place for our family. My daughter is at Yew Trees and has been there for over a year.

    We are so pleased that we chose Yew Trees. Our baby settled so quickly and is consistently excited to arrive at the childcare centre each morning. He has built such a strong relationship with his key worker and is truly cheerful. Updates with his key worker is outstanding, and they keep us up to date using the app. We get to see regular photos throughout the day and know exactly when our baby has napped and what he has eaten. The team work hard to provide the babies with engaging activities throughout the day, such as painting, water playtime and sensory playtime. They also spend lots of time outdoors, which our baby loves! We are so pleased that we chose Yew Trees and would highly suggest the childcare centre. We are first-time parents, and choosing a childcare centre for our baby seemed highly daunting.

    Every day they offer so many enjoyable, creative and imaginary playtime ideas- inside and out; from walks in the fields, exploring wildlife, painting, reading, exercise and more. The food that is cooked on site is also incredible and it amazes me what they have been eating. All the team have been so attentive and compassionate, they truly are the best! Every day there is an app that you can access showing you all the different things they have been doing with photos and links to their discovering. As the time for preparing to school came nearer they offered more focused discovering and assistance with transitioning from childcare centre to school which was remarkable. Our two kids have been in Toddlers and Pre-school and we honestly could not speak more highly of all the team at Yew Trees.

    She has a excellent connection with her primary caregiver and I think she is developing truly well from her time there. She sleeps and eats well and loves the amount of outdoor time. They’ve consistently been truly welcoming and supportive, taking the time to update us on the app and in person. They’ve been respectful with our wishes, for example, food and nap time and the food is consistently varied and sounds delicious! Our daughter truly enjoys her time there.
