Friendly, kind and caring staff

26 June 2025

My daughter has been with apple tree for a while now and is now getting ready to leave for school in September. She has come on leaps and bounds in her confidence and this is no doubt as a result of the caring, kind staff at apple tree! She goes into nursery happy every day which says it all! Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a lovely childcare setting for their child.

A fantastic nursery!

Apple Tree Day Nursery in Burton Latimer is fabulous! Our daughter has absolutely loved her time there and she runs in each morning! The staff are all fantastic, so positive and helpful and they have provided a safe and fun environment for our daughter. We get regular updates via a mobile app, the activities are well planned and have really helped with her development and getting her ready for school. I know she is really going to miss Apple Tree, as will we! I feel so lucky that we found Apple Tree.

Wonderful Staff

1 September 2020

My son has been attending the Appletree Burton Latimer nursery and they have been incredible. My son had some complex medical needs but the staff never shrunk away from the thought of looking after him. In fact they went above and beyond to receive training in how to care for him on a daily basis and in an emergency. My son loves going to Appletree and enjoys every aspect of the nursery from the toys and activities, to the staff and food! Everyone is kind and loving and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

Amazing Nursery!

My daughter has attended Apple Tree in Burton 5 days a week since she was 9 months old, its a truly fantastic nursery and we can’t thank them enough. They have helped shape, teach, care for, love and grow our daughter into the kind, caring, funny 4 year old she is today and for that we will be forever grateful.

We are going to miss the Apple Tree family when she goes to school in September but have already booked our son in full time from January. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my children like I do Apple Tree.

A wonderful family nursery!

6 June 2018

Both of our children attend Apple Tree and I can honestly say we couldn’t have picked a better nursery for them. Lesley and all her staff take the time to get to know all the children individually and it really does feel like a family. My youngest had a tendency to be a little clingy so I was worried how she would take to nursery, but I need not have worried- she adores the ladies in the baby room and loves seeing them everyday.

My eldest starts school this September and although he will miss all of the staff at Apple Tree, he is very well prepared for his new adventure because of the time and effort the nursery have put into his development whilst attending. I’m happy we don’t have to say goodbye to the wonderful team here just yet!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Couldn’t be happier or feel more settled that my little girl goes here. She always has the best day and is coming on leaps and bounds! All of the staff are so lovely, welcoming and caring and I know she is in safe hands and having the best time - it’s so lovely to see and the updates are amazing! We always recommend Appletree to friends and family, only have the best things to say and always hear the best things too. Thank you for everything so far! From being in the baby room and recently moving up to the big room you have all made us feel so at ease and the smile on our little girls face at the end of every day is priceless - she loves it and we are all very grateful. Best bunch of people you could ask for x

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Apple Tree is a wonderful nursery. The staff are so attentive and caring. My eldest who has just left to start primary school was so shy at first and in the year she has been there has grown massively in confidence and has started school brilliantly. My son who started at 14 months loves nursery so much. I loved the settling in sessions which helped us both get used to nursery and I am always able to take him down to the baby room and settle him in before leaving. I get daily updates with details about naps what he has eaten and pictures which I love looking at throughout the day. The staff are so attentive, caring and nurturing and I couldn’t recommend a better nursery with staff that genuinely care ♥️

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.My daughter has been attending Apple Tree Day Nursey full time since she was 10 months old up to 4 years old. The nursey is fantastic and really is a home from home. Myself and my daughter had the most wonderful relationships with all the staff. My daughter learnt so much while being at Apple Tree and looked forward to attending every day! I highly recommend Apple Tree Day Nursey to anyone! We will miss you!! 💕💕

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.My boy has achieved so much in the time apple tree have cared for him right up until 4 ears old, I also have a nearly 3 year old who is currently with apple tree  and without him joining there I don’t know where I and him would be today. I count my blessings for Lesley, Glenn and every member of staff there. They are so very supportive. Apple tree is a very caring and accommodating nursery, I would highly recommend to any parent.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Apple Tree is a fantastic nursery and I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else. My son went here since he was 16 months old until he was ready to go to school and formed such a close relationship with all of the staff. They supported us through a really tough time in my son’s life and I couldn’t have asked for a better support system for him. My daughter now attends here and so will my third baby when she’s old enough. Lesley and her team are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.All 3 of my children have been to apple tree nursery since 1year old, my oldest is now 12 and still speaks highly of the staff. My middle child now starting primary school and youngest is 2. The staff treat my children like family and I could never ask for better. Their communication has always been spot on and always approachable with any questions I’ve had over the years. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them enough

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Appletree is a fantastic nursery with the most wonderful and caring staff. I was very anxious about putting my 'covid baby' in nursery when I returned to work and when I went to look around here, the owner told me my son would be loved and cared for - she was absolutely right! Appletree is like a family. My son is now ready for school and Appletree has played a huge part in getting him school ready. Both my boys have flourished here, I highly recommend this nursery if you are looking for high quality childcare.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.My son attended apple tree for just over 4 years..all I can say is what a fantastic nursery this is and I will forever recommend it to anyone! The care my son had was second to none..and they become not just staff that looked after him but like an extended family! So welcoming and he never ever went in unhappy or come out unhappy! The emotion we all felt when it was their last day tells me everything..not a dry eye in the building The best there is ❤️

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Fantastic nursery and such friendly and welcoming staff, you feel at home with all the faces when you arrive as everyone welcomes you and your child so warmly , and by name! . They work so incredibly hard to get to know your child and their individuality and we have always had such positive feedback. They communicate everything well and are always happy to accommodate if needed. Thank you Appletree!
