Overall Experience

My daughter loves this nursery! They are innovative, clean and friendly! The staff are involved fully with the kids! The food is great and the garden fun! Pear Tree always try new things such as forest schools, fires, visits to Tesco! They have a ceilidh held locally and great Christmas and Halloween parties as well as a fun gala day! They care about the environment. The children feel safe, nurtured and enjoy nursery and learn through play.

Overall Experience

All staff are great with the kids, keep them really stimulated and busy...they don't even realise that they are learning!

The nursery constantly updates and changes activities and the facilities to make sure they are up to date and continually challenge the kids.

Review from A M G (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our children attend the nursery. We have been very happy with the standard care of our children. The staff are caring, genuine and strive to make the children feel part of the nursery. Both our children are thriving in the nursery environment, providing them opportunities to learn not only on their own but with other children and supported by the practitioners. It feels like an extension of our home providing our children with the confidence to explore in a safe, secure and encouraging environment. The nursery is continually investing in their staff and for the resources, they use for the children. This is important for both parties, as it continues to inspire the practitioners to bring the best experience each day for our children.

Review from Beth S (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Pear Tree since he was 10 months old. He is currently in the 3-5 room. All of the staff are dedicated to their different roles and put in a lot of extra effort to ensure the children are happy, challenged and learning. Also, they are first aid trained which is very important. The room and resources make use of a lot of natural resources and my son loved especially going to forest schools. An in-house chef provides healthy meals and healthy snacks are provided as well. The garden is large and provides many different resources for the children to explore including my son's favourite, the mud kitchen! Management are easily approachable with any issues and concerns and provide an open door policy. Overall, we are very happy and confident to send our son to Pear Tree and know that he is in safe hands with the staff who work there.

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff are enthusiastic during handovers and appear genuinely delighted in my daughter's achievements.

My daughter enjoys nursery a great deal. I asked her what she would like to do on Saturday and she said 'Nursery'.

I had a slight reservation about my daughters transition from the baby room to the 2-3 room since the space wasn't the same standard as I felt had already been achieved in the baby room. Though I did not raise this concern with staff or management the issue was addressed over Christmas. This indicates a management commitment to maintain the nursery to a high standard throughout. The room looks much brighter and more welcoming now.
In terms of safeguarding, I have been impressed with the updated notices regards entry to the nursery and, likewise, the staff response to ensuring guidelines are adhered to.

Thank you for all your wonderful work.

Overall Experience

I feel so comfortable with the staff at Pear Tree, they show a genuine warmth towards my 2 children. They are actively listening, very warm and reassuring. I leave them knowing they will have a great time and have done a huge variety of things by the time I go back to collect them. They come home tired but very happy. They are firm but fair, asking the children to be kind to others and look after each other, sharing well.

Great nursery, proving a friendly flexible service with total peace of mind.

Review from Jennifer (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Pear Tree for 2 and a half years now and I couldn't ask for anything better. She is kept busy with lots of fun and educational activities, and the large secure garden is absolutely brilliant with lots to explore. The children all get lovely cooked meals and healthy snacks provided which she loves.

The staff are brilliant, so friendly and professional, and it's obvious that all the children love them. Each day they will spend time telling me what my daughter has been up to and what she has eaten etc. Overall it's just a brilliant nursery!

Overall Experience

I am very happy with service provided. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The teaching is very good and there are lots of different activities for the children to take part in. The garden is large with lots of toys and it's used on a daily basis meaning the children get fresh air and exercise. The meals plans are published in advance and there is a good variety in the menu.

Review from Kate G (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Pear Tree Nursery is excellent and would happily recommend it. Our daughter had been going for to the nursery for 18 months. The staff and facilities in both the baby and tweenie room are fantastic. Our daughter enjoys playing in the large garden, particularly the large sandpit and the balance bikes. She also enjoys the food - often eating lots of things she doesn't at home and trying interesting new foods. All the staff are friendly, approachable and treat our daughter as an individual.

Review from Beverly R (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two boys (aged 2 and 5 years). Although my older son is now at school, both boys have attended, and my younger still does attend, the Pear Tree Nursery. I use the nursery services on a full-time basis so getting the right nursery was extremely important to me. As soon as my two children started at the nursery in November 2015, I knew I had found the right place.

My older son had been in an Edinburgh city centre nursery since he was 10 months old and I was initially concerned that a move to a new nursery would be hard for him. It wasn't at all! The staff were very understanding of our situation and welcomed us with open arms and did all they could to settle my children. I rate the staff very highly. They all clearly love their job and do all they can to make the nursery environment stimulating and fun. I also rate the food very highly. It is healthy and nourishing and my son eats extremely well every day. As the food is freshly cooked on the premises it really makes a difference.
