We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. The staff are genuinely amazing — kind, patient, and so accommodating — creating a warm, supportive environment where our daughter is happy and thriving. The level of care and communication is outstanding, giving us complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was in baby room, progressing to toddler room and now pre school. His brother will be starting in a few months too. It was a big thing starting my first baby at nursery and we viewed multiple in the area, as soon as I met with the nursery managers I knew this would be the setting for my son. We have been so happy with the nursery over the years and the staff. We receive regular updates about my son and the staff are very flexible, understanding and caring. We have an annual parents evening and I feel the activities they participate in helps to develop their skills. I have always been happy with my son’s key workers and he actively asks and is excited to attend. Would highly recommend to parents in the area.

My little one has attended Olive Tree Day Nursey since May and I couldn’t be happier with the nursery. She has come on so much and the staff are amazing with her. She has formed some lovely attachments with her key person and the other staff in the room. The activities that they plan are tailored to each child’s needs and next steps and the feedback we get from staff and on learning journals is amazing, we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery where we know she feels safe and secure. We can’t thank the girls at Olive Tree Day Nursery enough 💕

After being recommended by a friend our little girl attended Olive Tree and is now more than ready for big school! Everything from nursery ethos, healthy meals, stimulating activities and the friendly and loving staff we couldn't have wished for a better start for our precious daughter! If I could give more than 5 stars I would ✨️
