Just the most wonderful nursery ever! The most lovely and caring teachers and such a fun, educational environment. Kids are outside throughout the year and have never seen my daughter happier and more excited for school everyday !

Treetops is a wonderful nursery with great space, caring staff and is well run with kind management. My eldest child went there from 10 months to 4 years, and my youngest is now there at 18 months and I expect him to be there until he is ready for reception. My eldest was well prepared for school having had support with all sorts of essentials, from toilet training to phonics. It has great outdoor space and is well priced for the area (other local nurseries have a higher day rate and/or are open term time only). The food is varied and fresh, and all cooked on site. The communication is pretty good, and their approach to early years is well informed and pedagogically sound. But look, the main thing is that they are all great practitioners, the staff retention is good and the vibe is friendly and caring. My kids are really happy there and this has been over four years, so it’s consistent. I never worry about them when they’re there. We are so lucky to have Treetops on our doorstep!

My daughter has been attending Treetops for 1.5 years (since she was 13 months) and absolutely loves it! All of the staff are really wonderful, hard working and clearly passionate, dedicated and really invested in what they do! They always create such exciting and interactive learning opportunities for the children. My child has developed so much whilst attending, she has made lots of friends, tried new foods (which she loves, big thank you to the chefs!) and created close bonds with all the nursery staff. The room leaders, as well as her key workers have been so fantastic, especially in helping her build confidence. Each term they learn about a new topic, they also have outside facilitators come in to do different activities such as football and music etc. I also really appreciate that the nurseries commitment to inclusivity, teaching the children about different cultures and celebrations, such as Diwali and Eid. My daughter often speaks about nursery when she isn’t there, and was so excited to go back after the Christmas break! It is such a comforting feeling dropping her off and knowing she will have a lovely day, being looked after by a lovely team. I really recommend Treetops!

We love Treetops! Our little boy has been going since he was two and is so happy there. The teachers are exceptional. Kind, loving and fun. Our boy has learnt to count and draw and is starting to learn phonics and writing. Lots of outdoor space for playing and based in a big park which the kids sometimes get to play in too. Most importantly, they have accepted our boy for who he is, and helped him with listening and brought the best out in him.

I’ve known the team at treetops for 7 years and not only have they taken such good care of my 2 children in that time but they also understand how to support the families of the children at the nursery. Most of the women who work there have families of their own, some based in the local community at schools nearby. This first hand experience of being working parents makes the culture there very down to earth, warm, friendly and practical. For this reason the nursery attracts and retains great staff; many of the women that took care of my seven year old also helped to bring up the 3 year old and my 7 year old still talks about his favourite teachers at the nursery. The leadership team and staff are always smiling, welcoming, understanding and caring and creative with the kids. For me treetops has been an extension of our family and I owe them so much for the time and care they’ve given my children and me over the years
