## About this day nursery

Apple Tree Day Nursery, a family-operated institution, has been providing exceptional childcare since 2006. With a focus on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, the nursery caters to children aged 0 to 5 years.

They are dedicated to delivering top-tier childcare and education, fostering positive relationships with both children and their families. Emphasising a "home from home" atmosphere, Apple Tree Day Nursery boasts bright, cosy, and visually engaging facilities, including a unique state-of-the-art sensory room designed to enhance learning and development for all children, including those with Special Educational Needs.

The highly qualified and dedicated team ensures each child receives individualised care and attention, promoting their growth, education, and overall well-being. The nursery aims to cultivate well-rounded, kind, and independent individuals with a strong sense of self and respect for others, all while maintaining a happy and supportive environment for both staff and children.

Our ethos

Here at Apple Tree Day Nursery, we provide a true home from home feel due to the cosy environment we have created. We believe that by creating a comforting environment, surrounded by engaging resources and our state-of-the-art sensory room, this will allow the children to feel confident and safe to play freely. Which optimises the child’s growth, education, and development with an objective to reach their full potential. Our aim is for our children to become well-rounded, positive, and healthy people. We want them to be kind and independent, with an open heart for love and respect towards themselves and others. Being a role model for the children is key and management believes that happiness trickles down. We want our staff to feel appreciated and listened to, so they come to work feeling very much part of the family (Apple) Tree. With moral high the children will pick up on this energy, making for an all round very happy setting. We treat every child as if they were our own, every child is unique, and we make sure every child receives the best learning and care.

What it's like

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from opportunities to explore the sensory room, where they are encouraged to access learning in a calm and quiet environment. This can inspire children to be curious and develop their problem-solving skills.

Outdoor space

Children have access to designated areas of the garden, depending on age, to help ensure their safety. During outdoor play, they enjoy pushing vehicles and balls down the slide and discuss which went further and faster.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly, supportive, and genuinely care about the children. Our child has developed so much during their time here, both socially and academically, and we’ve always felt confident knowing they were in the best hands. The warm, family atmosphere is something truly special, and leaving is bittersweet. We definitely don’t want to go, but we’re relocating to the Midlands. If we could take this nursery with us, we would! Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing and caring environment.

Apple Tree has been instrumental in helping my son develop his speech. They have been attentive and supportive of all his needs. I won't hesitate to recommend them.

Such a lovely and colourful nursery. My daughter has been at Apple Tree for 18 months now and adores all of the key-workers and always comes home happy and goes in with a smile. She has come on leaps and bounds and has so much fun everyday. From the management to nursery key-workers, they are all warm, friendly and accommodating. Fantastic early years development, they've really helped shape our daughter in to the little person she is becoming and she loves them like family. I can't recommend highly enough :-)

Our daughter attended this preschool from 9 months to 3 years old, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The staff is warm and caring. She developed wonderfully in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. Communication was great, and she was always happy to go. Highly recommended!

Apple Tree Day Nursery has been absolutely incredible! Over the course of two years, they have taken exceptional care of my son, and he has grown and learned so much during his time there. I can clearly see how he has become more independent and developed a wonderful personality. My partner and I are deeply grateful to the nursery staff, and we want to express our heartfelt appreciation. We will definitely recommend Apple Tree Day Nursery to our family and friends without hesitation. They truly deserve a perfect rating of 10 out of 10 every time!
