My daughter has been attending this nursery for over three months now and I couldn't praise all of the team enough. I was worried about her settling in but her nursery aunties have been beyond amazing. We've been supported through every step, no question left unanswered and I was kept up to date with her day. My daughter is a cuddly baby and her teachers ensured she's cuddled as often as she needs. It was reassuring to see that our needs as a family were respected. Within these few months, my daughter's development skyrocketed. I see her hitting her milestones and I am certain that it's a big impact from the amazing team at Oak Tree. The place itself is big, clean, and has various rooms that can provide different stimulation. Food is fresh and nutritious, my daughter wasn't too interested in solids before nursery and now she eats everything! It makes my heart grow when I see her smiling at her nursery aunties before we walk in. THANK YOU!

Our son has been with Oak Tree for roughly a month. My husband and I were apprehensive sending our child to nursery full time but we essentially send our child to an extension of our family. Everyone at the nursery is incredibly kind, takes care of our child like their own and creates a fun environment for the kids. In the last month our son has fully started walking and eating all his meals. His development and happiness are a clear correlation to this nursery. Thank you for enabling us to go to work worry free.

My daughter attended this nursery between age 10 months and nearly 5 years and is only leaving to go to "big girl school". I cannot explain how highly I recommend this nursery. My daughter has been truly loved by every staff member there, they are caring and kind and she doesnt turn back when I drop her - just runs inside excited. They go above and beyond to keep you comfortable and informed with everything and do a good range of activities and learning tasks. They handled the pandemic exceptionally. The place is clean and the food is great. If you're looking for a nursery in streatham hill definitely visit this one :-)

Overall, it has been an excellent experience! We felt that we had great value for money sending our children to this nursery. Our kids loved the outdoor area, which is very spacious and they also had access to lots of activities, computer programmes as well as traditional games and toys. Our kids also received French and music lessons, which we thought was a nice touch that we hadn’t seen other nurseries provide. Most importantly, there were so many opportunities to get feedback from the staff on the progress of our children. The staff are all very lovely and would always be available to give daily feedback. Our kids also had daily diaries, which went between home and the nursery. The nursery also did a newsletter every few months as well so my partner and I felt very well informed and connected.

I read a few reviews with 1 star and I am really shocked of the way those parents leave a such comments which is far from the truth. The Nursery really doing there best to look after our kids and if something goes wrong once or twice it doesn’t mean the Management and staff they don’t care, I got 2 of my son’s there and I am very happy the way they look after them just like there own kids , so please parent’s be fair and stop writing false accusations.
