   I had a very disappointing experience with this kindergarten. At registration, I was given misleading information, which influenced my decision to enroll my child. The facilities are not well maintained, the toys seem old, and the overall cleanliness is poor. Additionally, I found the management to be unprofessional and not transparent in their communication. I would not recommend this place to other parents.

   Our son has been going since he was around 9 months old and is now almost 2. He loves it, he goes there for a long day twice a week, 8am until 6pm. He has a key worker who he likes, he had his worker changed and communication was good around this. The staff post diary updates every day so you know what's been going on and are pretty good at posting photos too when they do activities, which they do a lot of. They always do something relevant to a holiday or event and also do themed activities like fruit tasting/fruit paint stamps when doing a fruit week for example. They spend a lot of time in garden on nice days and also allow for a large variety of play like role play, nursery rhymes, arts and crafts etc. Food seems decent, not that I've eaten it, they rotate the menu and also ask parents for feedback/ideas. Our child eats food there he wouldn't touch at home so we know if he's having a nursery day he's going to get a decent meal in him. As with most nurseries you have to pay an additional fee for meals/snacks. Alternatively you can send packed lunch if you don't want to do that. The manager is prompt in any questions you may have and overall communication is very good, they also have a facebook which they post helpful information on that also goes beyond the nursery itself such as around checking eligibility for funded hours etc. The staff that we've met all seem nice, caring people, our son has his favourites and is unsure of those he's not familiar with which is totally normal, they don't appear pushy if he's not sure. If there's an incident such as banging his head, they'll always call you. They, rightly so, have strict rules about sending a child in who is unwell and also seeking information and signed statement if your child goes in injured. All normal and necessary safeguarding responses. Our soon to be born daughter will also be attending here once she makes her debut and hopefully both children will remain here, going up through the different aged classrooms, until they're ready for primary school.

   Upon viewing was left outside to wait in the cold for a while. When entering they took us to the wrong room but upstaira they had left over plates and cups on a tray on the landing with left over breakfast at 11am... a huge trip hazard. Afer explaining i would ideally like her to start at 3. I was questioned if i work or not as if i work i would have to pay. I felt extremly judged. The manager was building a radiator cover and screws were left in the floor whilst children were around. (Hazard) we were questioned about alot and felt extremly uncomfortable. Place was a mess and very unclean. Wont be allowing my child be un a setting that unsafe and unclean. Shocked the place is still open.

   The Appletree is a fantastic nursery, my 3 year old son loves going here. He is always so excited to go and see the team and his friends. I love getting the updates and seeing pictures of the fun activities he gets up to. We moved to the area last September and were worried about him settling in at a new nursery but the staff and nursery were fantastic and he was soon talking how how much he loved his new nursery! It’s been lovely to see how his confidence, skills and knowledge have grown since he started and I’d definitely recommend Appletree nursery.
