About this day nursery

Apple Tree Day Nursery Ltd offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from birth through to preschool age across multiple locations. They pride themselves on a philosophy of "small is beautiful," intentionally limiting class sizes to ensure each child receives individual attention and care, fostering a sense of security and belonging.

The nursery aims to create a home-from-home atmosphere where children feel safe to explore, learn, and develop at their own pace. Emphasising individuality, the nursery focuses on building strong relationships between children and staff, and encouraging curiosity and creativity.

They offer structured days combining learning, play, snacks, meals, and outdoor activities, while adapting to each child's unique needs and interests. The nursery also highlights experienced staff and a commitment to providing quality early years education, with a particular focus on Montessori methods at some locations, to prepare children for school.

What it's like

Children do very well in this wonderful setting, settling quickly due to excellent staff-parent relationships. The baby room is calm and nurturing, while older children's rooms and gardens are hubs of activity where they confidently explore. The settling-in process is key, with staff continuing individual routines and needs, fostering a strong sense of belonging.
