Doctrine2-nestedset лучшая практика?

Создание нового узла

// @see https://github.com/blt04/doctrine2-nestedset
        $config = new Config($this->em, Category::class);
        $nsm = new Manager($config);

        if ($this->request->has('root')){

            $root = $nsm->createRoot(new Category($this->request->mixed('name')));

        } else {
            $rootNode = $nsm->fetchTree((int)$this->request->mixed('parent'), 1);
            $rootNode->addChild(new Category($this->request->mixed('name')));
        }

Получение узлов

// @see https://github.com/blt04/doctrine2-nestedset
        $config = new Config($this->em, Category::class);
        $nsm = new Manager($config);


        $data = new ResponseSchema();
        $data->setCount(1000);
        $data->setItems($nsm->fetchTreeAsArray((int)$this->request->mixed('root')));

        $json = $this->serializer->serialize($data, 'json', ['attributes' => [

            'count',
            'items' => [
                'id',
                'node',
            ]
        ]]);
        $this->response->jsonSend($json);

Узлы в ответе

{
    "count": 1000,
    "items": [
        {
            "node": {
                "id": 3958,
                "leftValue": 1,
                "rightValue": 1,
                "name": "Child 1",
                "rootValue": 3955
            },
            "id": 3958
        },
        {
            "node": {
                "id": 3955,
                "leftValue": 3,
                "rightValue": 3,
                "name": "Root 1",
                "rootValue": 3955
            },
            "id": 3955
        }
    ]
}

Хотелось бы сверится.
На сколько верна базовая реализация?

Не пойму, как создавать дочерние элементы в дочерних узлах?
