Very curious about your interaction with Oak Tree. I moved my toddler to Oak Tree last year and my little one just joined her a couple of months ago. I must admit that based on my experience, the move to Oak Tree remains one of the best decisions I have made in the last year.


The manager and the staff have provided and continue to provide a lovely 'home away from home' for my girls so I feel it is only fair that I put an alternative view on here. I think we ought to be careful about making such sweeping statements about peoples' businesses on here and where we feel the need to do so, it's only fair that we provide clearer feedback. Equally, it'll be great to see more positive feedback on/recommendations of local businesses and sharing of the nicer experiences.


Finding the right setting for your child is almost always a challenge for parents and what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for others hence the recommendation that parents look into a few options before making a decision. I do hope you find what works for you.


All the best,

BC

I contacted Little Fingerprints Nursery twice in the last 2 months and I haven't heard from them. The website is terrible as well and doesn't give any sort of information. A couple of friends that moved their kids to a different nursery told me they don't have an admin team and not very well organized.

A friend's daughter goes to Oak Tree and she is very happy there. She's been going there for nearly 2 years, even after the family moved a bit further away.

Another vote of support for Oak Tree. My son has been there nearly two years and is very happy and thriving there. The staff are young but very caring and warm. He loves them. I know that people have different experiences of different nurseries but we are very happy with our decision to send him there.

    • Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names. 
    • why do we think we have the right for the elected local council to be transparent?
    • Granted Shoreditch is still London, but given that the council & organisers main argument for the festival is that it is a local event, for local people (to use your metaphor), there's surprisingly little to back this up. As Blah Blah informatively points out, this is now just a commercial venture with no local connection. Our park is regarded by them as an asset that they've paid to use & abuse. There's never been any details provided of where the attendees are from, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's never been any details provided of any increase in sales for local businesses, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's promises of "opportunities" for local people & traders to work at the festival, but, again, no figures to back this up. And lastly, the fee for the whole thing goes 100% to running the Events dept, and the dozens of free events that no-one seems able to identify, and, yes, you guessed it - no details provided for by the council. So again, no tangible benefit for the residents of the area.
