Our toddler started here when he was 12 months old and now at nearly 21 months old, he is thriving. Every day the staff do something different with the children, from animal visits, to garden centre outings, puppet shows and garden time.\nThe staff are incredibly knowledgeable and understanding and have been amazing whenever any concerns have popped up about development or behaviour.\nI cannot recommend Orchidale enough and feel that they're as supportive to parents as they are essential for young children.",

She loves being outside, exploring and learning new things. This is one of many reasons we love it here. Due to my working hours, she does do long days at nursery (10 hours), this does not negatively impact her as she is always very well cared for, supported, and happy during her time there. She has built strong relationships with the staff, which is clear as she often talks about them and even asks for them outside of nursery hours.The team create such a nurturing and engaging environment, she feels comfortable, settled, and genuinely enjoys attending. Pick-up and drop-offs are always handled smoothly, it isn't often my daughter will get upset when I drop her off in the morning, but on the occasions she does get upset,  the staff are very reassuring and know exactly how to comfort her, helping her to settle quickly. Thank you Orchidale!",

To me what set them apart other than the kind and empathetic staff is the wonderful, large natural environment they provide and the trips they are taken on. I have seen my daughter who was quite shy grow immensely in confidence and curiosity. She is 2 years old and driving home from nursery recently asked me \"mummy what do clouds do?\" I feel she is being prepared for school in terms of her curiosity, language capability and interest in the wider world, without the nursery setting being  formal or restrictive.\nI was nervous about sending her to nursery and experienced 'mum guilt' but the team were consistent and kept me updated all the way.\nJess the manager said she was happy for me to call whenever I needed to check how she was settling in. Now I know she's having such a fun day and look forward to the photos of all the wonderful things they've been upto. Thank you to the wonderful team.",

From the very start, the staff have shown such genuine care, patience, and passion for what they do. Every single member of the team goes above and beyond to make the children feel valued, understood, and supported.\nOur son can sometimes display challenging behaviour, but the staff at Orchidale never gave up on him. They took the time to understand his needs, find the right approach, and help him overcome every hurdle with kindness and consistency. We have been so blessed with his wonderful key people, who treated him not just as a child in their care but as part of their own Orchidale family.\nAcademically, we’ve been amazed too — our son is leaving the nursery being able to read confidently and showing a real love for learning. His teachers noticed his interest and talent in reading and maths early on and nurtured those skills beautifully, helping him thrive in ways we never expected at this age.\nWe could not recommend Orchidale more highly. It’s more than just a nursery — it’s a place filled with warmth, understanding, and genuine dedication to every child’s happiness and growth. We’ll always be grateful for the incredible start they’ve given our son.",

But Abbie never leaves a question unanswered at the door, she has welcome arms for my little one every session and my little girl is more than happy to go in, never with fuss and always with a huge smile.\nTruly an exceptional nursery and I can't wait to see how she progresses over the years.\nThank you so much for making this journey for us so wonderful so far x",

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make excellent progress, reflecting the staff's exceptional understanding of what each child knows and can do, and their next steps.

Outdoor space

Children develop an exceptional understanding of the natural world through exploration and inspirational teaching from staff. They attend daily forest school classes and learn about fungi growing on the logs and how to keep themselves safe. Children dig in the garden using shovels and spades which helps them build resilience, physical and social skills.

Our experience with Orchidale has been, and continues to be, outstanding. Our toddler started here when he was 12 months old and now at nearly 21 months old, he is thriving. Every day the staff do something different with the children, from animal visits, to garden centre outings, puppet shows and garden time. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and understanding and have been amazing whenever any concerns have popped up about development or behaviour. I cannot recommend Orchidale enough and feel that they're as supportive to parents as they are essential for young children.

My daughter started at Orchidale in September 2025. She absolutely loves it here, and we are so thankful to have such a wonderful nursery available to us. She loves being outside, exploring and learning new things. This is one of many reasons we love it here. Due to my working hours, she does do long days at nursery (10 hours), this does not negatively impact her as she is always very well cared for, supported, and happy during her time there. She has built strong relationships with the staff, which is clear as she often talks about them and even asks for them outside of nursery hours.The team create such a nurturing and engaging environment, she feels comfortable, settled, and genuinely enjoys attending. Pick-up and drop-offs are always handled smoothly, it isn't often my daughter will get upset when I drop her off in the morning, but on the occasions she does get upset, the staff are very reassuring and know exactly how to comfort her, helping her to settle quickly. Thank you Orchidale!

Orchidale is a wonderful nursery. The team work very hard to ensure the children have fun, enriched days. They keep rabbits and chickens, which my daughter loves. To me what set them apart other than the kind and empathetic staff is the wonderful, large natural environment they provide and the trips they are taken on. I have seen my daughter who was quite shy grow immensely in confidence and curiosity. She is 2 years old and driving home from nursery recently asked me "mummy what do clouds do?" I feel she is being prepared for school in terms of her curiosity, language capability and interest in the wider world, without the nursery setting being formal or restrictive. I was nervous about sending her to nursery and experienced 'mum guilt' but the team were consistent and kept me updated all the way. Jess the manager said she was happy for me to call whenever I needed to check how she was settling in. Now I know she's having such a fun day and look forward to the photos of all the wonderful things they've been upto. Thank you to the wonderful team.

By far the best nursery around! Our son has been with Orchidale for almost two years, and the difference it has made to his development — and to our lives as parents — has been truly incredible. From the very start, the staff have shown such genuine care, patience, and passion for what they do. Every single member of the team goes above and beyond to make the children feel valued, understood, and supported. Our son can sometimes display challenging behaviour, but the staff at Orchidale never gave up on him. They took the time to understand his needs, find the right approach, and help him overcome every hurdle with kindness and consistency. We have been so blessed with his wonderful key people, who treated him not just as a child in their care but as part of their own Orchidale family. Academically, we’ve been amazed too — our son is leaving the nursery being able to read confidently and showing a real love for learning. His teachers noticed his interest and talent in reading and maths early on and nurtured those skills beautifully, helping him thrive in ways we never expected at this age. We could not recommend Orchidale more highly. It’s more than just a nursery — it’s a place filled with warmth, understanding, and genuine dedication to every child’s happiness and growth. We’ll always be grateful for the incredible start they’ve given our son.

My little girl joined the nursery a few months ago and I've continued to be impressed every week, the effort and attention and love they provide for the children really is outstanding. My little girls key worker Abbie really is a superstar and as a mother with anxiety it was my biggest worry leaving my little girl there as she's very little! But Abbie never leaves a question unanswered at the door, she has welcome arms for my little one every session and my little girl is more than happy to go in, never with fuss and always with a huge smile. Truly an exceptional nursery and I can't wait to see how she progresses over the years. Thank you so much for making this journey for us so wonderful so far x
