Review from Natalie H (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Apples and Pears in September. I was very anxious and upset, however, the staff were brilliant! They made me feel so much better as they kept posting photos on the app. My daughter loves the staff in sandy strawberries, they are fantastic. My daughter does different activities throughout the week.

Could not recommend this nursery enough!

Review from CKWY (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Professionalism and caring personalities across all staff.
Safe and educational environment - both indoors and outdoors.
Wonderful sensory garden and farm based setting.
Love the close to nature/sub- rural location.
Lots of encouragement and activities for parents participation.
Child is nurtured positively and appropriately in early years foundation stages and in important life events/milestones.
Some indoor areas may need updating.

Maybe a shelter in the outdoor space would benefit and allow more outdoor play even when it's raining.

↩Reply from SUZANNE EVANS, Owner/ Manager at Apples & Pears Private Day Nursery

An outdoor waterproof shelter in our immediate nursery play area is an excellent suggestion. We do, of course, have the outdoor classroom in the sensory garden, which has always been an invaluable space. We know how much our children love the outdoors here and are always happy to hear ways to further enhance our play and areas. Watch this space. Thank you!

Overall Experience

I am so pleased that my daughter is at Apples and Pears Nursery. Every interaction I have with the nursery is excellent. I feel confident that my daughters needs are met to the utmost standards. I have only good things to say about every aspect of my daughter's care and would recommend the nursery to friends, colleagues and family in the utmost confidence that they would find the same standard of care for their children.

Review from Gemma B (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

We have had our little one with the nursery since 6 months. Right from the word go they were amazing handling his poor health and various medication and special diet needs. The communication and links with parents are second to none with newsletter, play bags, home boards, parents forum and stay and play sessions where we can play and watch them in situ which many nurseries would be too uncomfortable to do. With regular updates via Tapestry and parents evenings and reports I feel fully informed and updated as well as informal drop ins whenever I feel the need and daily room reports. They have not only helped develop my child with the usual speech and learning etc but also nurtured and fostered his enthusiasm and character which is a joy to see. All the staff are fully professional at all times yet approachable. As a mum I feel 100% confident and happy knowing my child is receiving such an outstanding level of care.

Review from Heather H (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Fab nursery with excellent staff who all have a great rapport with both the children and each other. My daughter (2.5) has been going for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it! The staff are quick to address any concerns you have as a parent and are happy to accommodate any requests too. They were the only nursery in the area that seemed happy to accommodate a breastfed baby (without expecting them to formula feed when attending!)

Can't recommend highly enough.

Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery with lovely staff. Always very friendly and accommodating. Our child absolutely loves his time at Apples and Pears. Staff have encouraged him to be confident and he has learned lots of new skills. Always doing something different and the food sounds brilliant.

Overall Experience

A truly excellent nursery with strong management and talented staff. Our little girl was 4 months old when she started and she's now 4 - she has loved every stage in the various rooms. She has always been very happy, with a good mix of outside and inside play.
