Review from Janet G (Grandmother of Child) published on 6 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Everything about this nursery is excellent. My grandchildren have come on in leaps and bounds and have plenty of confidence since joining with all the activities the staff encourage them to try and succeed at. The food is very nutritious, tasty and appealing and the children love it. The staff are first class and totally comitted to the children in everything they do with them. The outside play area is very safe and full of equipment for the children and they thoroughly enjoy it and get plenty of fresh air. The staff take the children to the park for different activities which again opens their outlook to what they can do which is good for them. This nursery is safe, comfortable and homely and the staff make it that way.

Review from Cate L (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son had found nursery and separation very difficult at his previous nursery, but within days of being at Pear Tree he had settled in and was actively looking forward to his days there. There is a friendly atmosphere for children and parents, and he has grown in confidence and enjoys his days which is obviously very important to us as well as him.

The staff are attentive and detailed, always full of new and creative ideas to keep the children inspired while taking direction from the children in what they enjoy doing. There is an emphasis on outdoor play which is great. The garden has very good facilities and we consider the Forest School trips an important part of their learning.

The food is good and the kids are kept well fuelled throughout the day.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attends several sessions each week and the staff cannot do enough to make sure my son is settled and ready for a fun-filled day of activities before I leave. The staff really take the concerns of a parent seriously and always ask how my son is and if there is anything the should be made aware of. Potty training is another gold star. We opted to start the potty training after the Xmas break and the Pear Tree staff took this on board and showed great initiative by encouraging my son to continue with a training chart and stickers! The staff are highly motivated, very helpful and always give 100%. I leave each day knowing my son will have a fantastic day. His current favourite is Forest School on a Tuesday. I think attending Pear Tree from age 1 has helped with my son's development. I note that he communicates well with everyone. He's confident, independent, inquisitive and always looking for new challenges. I truly believe Pear Tree has played a large part in his development progress.

My child settled in very quickly at the Pear Tree Nursery. The staff are caring and arrange a good variety of activities each day. The garden is especially good and I like how the children spend so much time playing outdoors every day - all year round!

Overall Experience

Both of our sons go to Pear Tree Nursery and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. All the staff there are lovely, warm, helpful and go that extra mile for the little ones and parents. They keep us updated on what the kids have been up to. They do such a variety of activities and we love that the kids go out in the garden a lot every day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has now been attending Peartree for just over two years and I haven't had a single complaint about the care she receives. My daughter loves going into the nursery and is always talking about the staff when at home. I am confident that when I leave my daughter in the morning she's going to have a great day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Pear Tree since August '16. She loves going to the nursery and is really happy there. I am really pleased with the service so far and the activities on offer for the children are excellent. The garden area is huge as is the sandpit and I know my little one loves it. The handover at the end of the day is so thorough I know exactly what's been going on and what she's been doing. A fab nursery with excellent staff.

Review from Iain G (Father of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Pear Tree Nursery provides a safe and relaxed environment which encourages children to express and develop themselves. There is a diverse range of activities across the rooms, in the garden and in the excursions. Our daughter enjoys her time at nursery and has made lots of friends. She also talks about what she has done and shows us some of the things she does at home.

The staff are very good at sharing their observations of the areas our daughter shows natural ability and areas they are helping our daughter develop.

The staff continual add new and different experiences in the nursery and encourage parents to provide ideas or thoughts where improvements could be made.

We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends.

Review from Donna S (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son loves Peartree and has formed a real bond with both the staff and children in his room. He loves being outdoors so the fact they go out nearly every day either for a walk along the river and a play in the gardens or just onto the balcony, is great for him. The staff are knowledgeable and attend to his needs with care and attention - they have taken the time to get to know him and we feel that they genuinely care for him and his well-being. This gives us a lot of confidence as parents. We would not hesitate to recommend Peartree.

Great nursery with really friendly staff that make your child excited to go, great facilities and toys/activities that keep them occupied all day.
