Very happy that we chose this nursery for our son who’s in toddler room. He started in mid May and settled in really well within 2-3 weeks. All the staff are very friendly and kind, and my son loves talking to all the teachers, even the ones not in toddler room. He enjoys playing there and tells us he wants to come again at the end of the day.

My Daughter joined Apples and cherries in April and settled in brilliantly. I chose this nursery as the staff were so warm, friendly and the rooms and gardens were immaculate with lovely facilities. My daughter was anxious to be leaving me at first but came out of nursery buzzing with excitement each time, full of fun stories and singing songs that reassured her "mummy's coming back." My daughter really likes all of the staff members, they're genuinely caring and patient. She loves a chat and telling them all about her home life. She looks forward to seeing Shannon (nursery manager) Charlie (deputy manager) and her room leaders Rebecca Aisha and Eamon who are really attentive! Also a bit of a Picky eater at times, but seems to eat almost all of her meals at nursery. The menu looks great and today when I asked how lunch was, She said "The chicken was lovely." You're also kept updated with weekly learning activities and achievements and daily food diarys/events on an app. So pleased we chose Apples and Cherries to look after our child. Thanks guys for a brilliant job!

Five Stars – A Truly Special Nursery I couldn’t be happier with the care and support my daughter receives at this nursery. When she first started, we both struggled with the change—but the team were incredibly understanding and supportive. Now, at three years old, she looks forward to days she attends. She even counts down how many “sleeps” until nursery! The staff are amazing. Shannon, the manager, is down-to-earth, kind, and always approachable. Charlie is my daughter’s absolute favourite—she lights up when she sees her, and I know she feels safe and loved. My daughter, refers to Charlie as Aunt Aunt Charlie. Exactly to a 'T' when referring to my sister in laws. Eamon and Ayesha also deserve recognition: Eamon has a great connection with my child to the point she said 'uncle' and Ayesha brings such positive energy to everything she does. Ayesha, thank you for the love of her outfit's. The nursery's app is a brilliant touch. It keeps me updated with daily details like meals, nappy changes, and even a weekly roundup of activities. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing exactly how my daughter is spending her day. Since starting here, my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds—her vocabulary, motor skills, and confidence have all grown dramatically. Most importantly, she is happy. And as a parent, that’s all I could ask for. This nursery has been a lifeline. I’m so grateful to the entire team for the love, care, and dedication they put in every time she attends.

I feel my child has learnt so much more being at nursery. They have taken care of each individual needs and wants by doing their regular reviews with parents. Developing their area of concern as well as working on their best qualities. The staff are always empathetic, teaching them good behaviour, gross motor skills, helping and assisting them in need and many more. The nursery’s communication for parents is amazing. We know every change that the nursery has, notifications of illnesses, and events, staff. The menu for children is healthy. I am so glad I picked apples and days nursery for my children. Thank you for all your work for developing my child and keeping them safe. I highly recommend the nursery.

It is a very good nursery, with a very loving staff that tries to educate the children with very functional rules. My son was very happy at this nursery. We sincerely feel very bad that our son will leave it, which will miss him a lot. You are the best! We hope to be here in this area, to bring and our little daughter to this nursery.
