Our children experienced some of the best years of their childhood at Orchards. As a family we cannot thank you all enough for helping them and encouraging them to become wonderful young people. You will always have a place in our heart.

I have had two daughters attend the nursery from the age of 7 months. They were always happy and secure with staff and their development was always above what it needed to be. Staff are friendly and caring and invest time with getting to know a child and their carers. Generally, a varied assessment of activities and meals are cooked daily on site. Parents can contribute ideas on this.

A Fantastic nursery with lovely caring attentive staff. My children have so much fun here and have learnt so much I couldn’t fault it. A really lovely setting for children to be nurtured and cared for I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else and I would highly recommend.

My son previously and daughter currently attend Orchards, I would not consider using another nursery and cannot recommend Orchards highly enough. The staff are fantastic and all have a genuine interest in getting to know the children as individuals and working with the children to help them develop. The team are all very caring and the nursery has a lovely friendly atmosphere.

I wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to all of the staff at Orchards. I cannot believe how well --- has settled into nursery over the last couple of weeks. I feel calm about leaving her which is a huge help having returned to work whilst she is still so small. Being already familiar with you obviously helps, however you should all be very proud of the culture you have created for the children. Happy children means happy parents and I can’t thank you enough!”

After visiting several nurseries in the area we decided to send our son to Orchards Day Nursery and it was a great decision. Our son loves it there and we don’t have to worry about him while we’re in work. The staff are incredibly caring and the activities they offer are very diverse - from crafts, singing, reading, to walks in the community. We have the feeling that our son has developed a lot in their care. We are very glad to have chosen Orchards Day Nursery and would definitely recommend it!”
