I highly recommend this nursery! Staff and children form great bonds and you can clearly see how much staff love working with children. I'm very impressed with the range of activities they do. There is a focus on crafts, reading and outdoor play. There are different themes each week, such as focusing on different holiday, learning about different cultures, or reading particular books. I am truly grateful to everyone that works here and makes it a special place for my child

What can I say but it's like they are part of the family! My first son attended the nursery for 4 years until he started school, and my youngest son has been at nursery for just over 2 years. The bond they have with all the staff is fantastic and love all the activities they do with the kids, I love seeing the photos and updates. The home cooked food they get every day is balanced and nutritious. They also have a really great program for early learning to prepare them for school. I'll be sad when my littlest one leaves, maybe I should have another?! :)

My son went for 4 years and now my daughter is already more than a year at Orpington Day nursery since she was 1 years old and will leave it just before her reception. They both loved to go there, the teachers are all in general very good and I can see good connection with the children. I like the activities they use to do, and time to time I see some of the pictures in parent zone.Communication with the manager is excellent and this is very important. Also Sarah (the owner) is always there for you and you feel her like a family. Thank you Orpington day nursery for looking after my kids.

All four of our children have attended Orpington day nursery over the past 7 years. Our two youngest still go there and I wouldn’t consider anywhere else to look after my children. The nursery is warm, caring, reliable, and has a home to home feel. They provide educational activities to keep the children entertained and all the food is cooked from scratch to ensure the children eat a healthy varied diet. I cant thank Sarah and the team enough for all their hard work. They have made those first days of settling my children in to a new environment stress free and shown such compassion caring for my children. A special thank you to Dawn and Judy, my eldest two have lots of fond memories being cared by both of you.

Had my daughter at the nursery for 1.5 years and the place is amazing. My little one really developed during her time so far. Great app that tracks her key points throughout the day too. In addition the staff are amazing. Everyone there is an absolute delight to deal with. Highly recommended.
