My daughter has been attending Apple Tree Nursery for a year now. I have seen her develop immensely since joining. The staff are always caring, friendly and help my daughter with all her educational and developmental needs. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and supportive environment for their child. A special mention for my Mrs Saba who takes a keen interest in the kids and ensures a descriptive feedback session when required. The owners take a personal interest and dedicates time to support my daughter in her school application process. Overall, a fantastic nursery.

It’s a fantastic nursery very family oriented and feel at ease knowing he is well looked after. They are very flexible and accommodating, the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend this nursery. ( I recommended Apple Tree to my neighbour and her son will be starting in Oct)

Apple Tree Nursery are Fabulous! Currently have a child who has been attending for over a year who started when a year old. The staff are excellent and show great care. They are helpful and have really helped our child to grow, learn and develop. Our child loves playing outdoors and the outdoor area at Appletree is spacious. They also provide meals. All round it's a wonderful nursery.

The staff are very welcoming, and it brings me comfort knowing my daughter enjoys attending and loves her teachers. Thank you to all at Apple tree for all your hard work looking after my precious one.
