What Our Parents Say…
We discovered Treehouse Club when a friend’s nephew casually dazzled us with his catkin knowledge, picked up from his forestry activities. We were so impressed we wanted our daughter to have plenty of outdoor experiences during her early years. We are thrilled with how her confidence and skills are thriving since enrolling.

Treehouse club has been fantastic for my son Oliver, over his 12 months at the pre-school he has really grown in confidence and character and he really has developed a love of the great outdoors, it has been a wonderful transformation. He is so happy to come to Treehouse every day and always having a great time whenever we collect him that we have great peace of mind that he is really enjoying himself. Thank you to all Treehouse for creating such a safe, fun and happy environment in a truly magical setting for 4 year olds!
-Brentwood Parent
I spent a long time trying to find an after school facility for my daughter. I found that a lot were either on school grounds, which I thought didn’t give her a break from school, and the others within a converted conservatory, which was not my idea of suitable care. I then found the Treehouse Club and I loved the activities they did and how kind the staff were. I am very glad I chose them and would recommend them to anyone.
-Wickford Parent
We have used other day care services in the past but we can sincerely say that Ashley and the Treehouse Club have exceeded our expectations. Our daughter attends both on a part time and full time basis, depending on how busy our schedule is, and they kindle accommodate us, even at short notice. We cannot explain in words just how happy we are with the service that the Treehouse Club provides for us and of course our daughter. She loves being there and has so much fun. Every evening when we pick her up she has a smile on her face from ear to ear. The only problem that I can see is when our daughter gets too old to go!
-Ingrave Parent
Our son aged 4½ loves the Treehouse Club so much that when we go and collect him earlier than usual, he gets a little bit upset that he hasn’t had enough time to play and asks for another 5 mins several times …. We’ve been very impressed with all the activities such as pond dipping and other outdoor events ( they are not stuck in front of a TV or Wii games like some after school clubs). Our son joins in with all the other children and although he doesn’t have any homework he sits down at the same time with them and enjoys some reading and practises writing. He is also trying new foods and receives encouragement from the other children when doing so. The club has a lovely atmosphere, the children are always happy when we arrive and we’re really happy to have such caring people as Ashley and her team.
