The Fruit Tree Day Nursery

“Thanks to the fruit Tree Day Nursery & Montessori team my daughter was prepared over the last few months for her Prep school test and was one of 12 that secured a place out of 200 applicants, we are extremely grateful and recommend their services”

“Our son first came to Fruit Tree when he was seven and a half months old and we have been thrilled with the nursery. It is a well rounded, diverse place that is representative of the local area and offers all of the children an opportunity to learn in a positive, lively atmosphere. Our son (now two and a half) still often talks about “S” (his first care giver) who was knowledgeable, thoughtful and gentle (both to us as we acclimatised to the nursery / work routine and our son as he settled in!) We love the nursery and the staff and we would recommend it to anyone”

“V feels completely comfortable at the Fruit Tree Nursery and is always bubbly when we pick him up.  Keep up your zest for the job, you are making a real difference for the Camberwell community”

“Working in local schools ourselves, we know full well the challenges of such a job and you appear to lead and manage things with true professionalism”

“One of the most important points of learning for H from the Nursery, during these younger years, has been his development of confidence/independence and learning how to treat others with kindness and respect”

“Thank you for always being willing to listen to us.  Whenever we have had a question or query you have dealt with it in a timely and caring manner.  An example of this has been listening and modifying meals to accommodate  (C’s)  numerous dietary/ allergy requirements.  Not only has this been reassuring, it has enabled (C) to eat healthy, suitable, nutritious meals”

“thank you for doing your utmost to ensure (B)  (and all the children) experiences are exciting and continually improving and developing in complexity as he grows older.  We have watched with interest the activities (B) has had the opportunity to participate with”

“Staff have been very friendly and caring and (L) speaks fondly of the staff each day at home.  He has made some great little friends too.  This has been encouraged by expectations of how the children are to treat each other – which I’m sure must be a quality you look for in your staff”

“I could not recommend enough The Fruit Tree Day Nursery”

“(J)  really has enjoyed particular experiences:  hatching of the chicks and their care, growing plants, dancing on Fridays and trips to the park, library and museums because these have really triggered his imagination and helped  (J)  understanding and language development.  With tight budgets, these things are often the first to go – so it is pleasing to see you keep prioritising these”

“From his very first day, my little one was welcomed in an environment that rather felt like home. Along the years spent there, he literally thrived, I saw him develop at his pace, encouraged and supported by the wonderful staff of the nursery”

“My child was given a chance to discover his strength and weaknesses and work on these day by day”

“Drop-off and pick-up time became a pleasant ritual for me, too. The staff and management became part of our little world. Having tried other nurseries before, I can confidently say that this is a little gem we had the luck to discover”

“My child joined the nursery when he was 22 months and is now 3 1/2. The staff  have always looked after him extremely well & had his best interests at heart. He loves it and looks forward to going each day”

“I’ve have always found the staff to be friendly and approachable. As my child is now in pre-school, I’m very happy with the current standard of teaching”.

“The teachers in pre-school recognise when a child needs more stimulation and encourage them to work with or on things they enjoy to keep them occupied rather than putting it down to the child being disruptive”

“I am very pleased with the varied daily menu of fresh and healthy food cooked by their onsite chef, it’s also great to see that they encourage all the children to serve themselves and be more independent”

“Thanks you for taking such care in providing this nursery for our children, the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are wonderful”

“To The Fruit Tree Nursery, As the term comes to an end, I wanted to take the moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for my son during his time at nursery. Your dedication, kindness and support have made a significant impact on his learning and development. We have seen him grow & flourish under your guidance and for that we are truly thankful.
