Mickleover Indoors

Where it all began - a place to learn, play and grow

Nestled in a beautiful rural setting, The Orange Tree Day Nursery Mickleover is where our story began - a place full of space, adventure, and opportunity for growth.

Following a substantial redevelopment, our Mickleover nursery now features a stunning baby suite and an innovative Early Years Eco Building, both designed to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning from the very start.

Our caring and experienced team provide exceptional childcare and early years education in a setting that feels truly like home - calm, creative, and full of wonder.

Mickleover Experiments

A Home-from-Home for Little Learners

Our nursery is warm, welcoming, and filled with opportunities for imaginative play and early learning. From our calm baby sensory room to our cosy creative spaces for toddlers and preschoolers, every room is thoughtfully designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and joy.

Our team take the time to get to know every child, creating a sense of belonging and helping each one grow in confidence every day.

Outdoor Adventures and Natural Discovery

At The Orange Tree Mickleover, the great outdoors is part of every day. Children love exploring our orchard and duck pond, discovering nature first-hand, and even visiting the horses in the neighbouring field.

It’s a truly magical environment where children develop a love for the outdoors, build confidence, and form a lifelong connection with nature.
