We are extremely pleased with Treehouse nursery, all the staff are so kind and friendly, it feels like our son has a second family. They’ve always been very open and welcoming and this is reflected in how approachable the management team are and it seems everyone gets on very well with each other. We love that there’s plenty of outdoor time when the weather allows for it, lots of activities and a fun atmosphere everytime we come in for drop off and pick up. The food menu also seems nutritious, varied and balanced and the updates on the Famly app are of great help, keeping us very up to date during the day which is very reassuring. We often get wonderful photos updating us on how our son is doing which is a big highlight of our day. It’s been really lovely getting to know most of the staff and our son really enjoys going to nursery which is exactly what we want as parents. Thank you !
Read on GoogleA brilliant nursery! My two children attend Treehouse and both love it there. The staff are great and clearly take good care of them. I am happy with the range of activities offered and I have noticed the growth in their development especially for my 4 year old who is in preschool and learning to write. I am especially happy with the healthy meals offered! They are trying new foods and my eldest has really taken to the healthy foods offered which I feel has really helped with her eating and being open to exploring new foods- the fact that healthy meals are offered instead of easy meals like pizza is a massive plus for me, they even got a specialist in to create the healthy menu! We are sadly leaving this nursery due to relocating but we are so pleased with the last 2.5 years at Treehouse that we will be going to another Storal setting. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with this nursery! Our daughter has attended Treehouse since September 23 and our son also attended. Every morning our daughter is excited to go into nursery and that’s down to the staff. They are nurturing, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The team go above and beyond to make every day fun and enriching for the little ones. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed about daily routines and progress. Would definitely recommend Treehouse Nursery!
Read on GoogleOur Daughter has been attending Treehouse since she was 18 months old, shes almost 4 now and absolutely loves it, she levels up each week telling us what she’s learned and she’s always happy when we pick her up, her confidence has soared! Great outdoor space and they really focus on the age groups and ensuring children are split accordingly for activities. The staff are knowledgeable and really put the time in to get to know the children providing daily updates and pictures via the app. special mention for the chef Lucy who has great rapport with the kids providing high 5s and great home cooked meals. Highly recommend treehouse.
Read on GoogleI cannot recommend Treehouse enough. My daughter has been attending since september last year and she absolutely loves it there. She cheers with excitement when we arrive outside and its just so obvious she is looked after well and enjoys herself. The staff are lovely, always friendly and its clear to see that they like and care about all the children. Aside from just having a great time there, she also comes home with new skills and talking about friends she has made there.
