Great staff, always looking to improve things and receptive to feedback. My two children have been very happy here and my third will start this year. Outdoor space has improved significantly over the last 18 months.

Pear Tree Nursery is brilliant. My son loves going, he is stimulated, cared for and educated in a highly professional manner. The staff are marvellous and really go above and beyond in working with the children. I would recommend Pear Tree to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was previously at another local nursery which at the time I was satisfied with as I couldn't get a place in the Pear Tree but put our name down for the waiting list as I had heard so many good things. Needless to say after a couple of months a place came up and I have to say i'd never look back.
There is no comparison that could be made, the Pear Tree is in a league of its own and my son is always excited going into nursery and comes home with exciting stories to tell every day. Couldn't rate the Pear Tree highly enough. Awesome :)

I would highly recommend Pear Tree Nursery. All elements from settling to sleep routines, dietary considerations and personal requests for individual children are listened to, taken on board and actioned. The staff constantly go the extra mile. I am delighted we send our daughter there.

We have had two children with Pear tree. My eldest son has now moved onto school. We have been extremely pleased throughout our 5 years relationship with the nursery. My daughter enjoys going to nursery which she does three days a week. There is always plenty to do. Currently her favourite is forrest
school. This has been a real winner in our household.

Caring and enthusiastic staff with bags of energy to support the children's play and learning. Welcoming, comfortable and homely environment in which the children feel both relaxed and inspired. Parents also feel welcomed and well informed with opportunities to get involved with the life of the nursery.

My son is in the process of being diagnosed with autism, the staff at the nursery have been amazing at helping both myself and him with nursery life. He is due to move to school nursery soon and I was worried that this would be an issue for him but the staff in his room have come up with some great
strategies to help him get ready for the transition. They have been such a great help throughout a stressful and emotional time in my sons life.

Our daughter has spent over a year in Pre-school at Pear Tree and has loved going to nursery every day. The staff and facilities are amazing and each child is encouraged to express themselves and is recognised as a individual. Everyone does an amazing job and I would recommend them highly.

Amazing nursery. My son got a funded placement here and felt very welcome. He settled in very well and loved the staff. The garden is great for children and they were always doing activities such as trips to the forest.

I was a bit unsure about sending my 2 year old daughter to nursery. But I have found Pear Tree a fantastic place. My duaghter gets so excited about going each week so I know that she enjoys it. The staff take great care of the children and are professional and caring. The handovers are great and they
make me feel that the staff are paying attention to the kids and making sure their days are full of fun and different things.

Review from Ewan R (Father of Child) published on 3 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is quite simply the best Nursery around.


The service and care provided to the children is second to none.
The food is fantastic - freshly made on site and varied day by day.
All of the children there build up excellent relationships with all of the staff very quickly indeed.


Our daughter

has come on leaps and bounds in the 12 months that she has attended Pear Tree, our only regret being that we did not move her here sooner! The only reason that she is now leaving is to take up a School Nursery place closer to home.


Upgraded garden a massive success - excellent outdoor facilities in a safe secure setting for all the children.


The staff are friendly, approachable and caring.
They always go the extra mile.


Look nowhere else for a nursery to place your child - This quite simply is the best children's nursery in the United Kingdom, never mind Haddington, East Lothian or Scotland.

This is a great nursery whose staff really take the time to get to know both parents and children. Staff are happy to assist children transition through different stages of their lives. For example some of the children will soon have younger siblings or have been moving house so the staff use this
as discussion topics throughout the day. It is a very progressive nursery with staff well trained. An excellent service.

I've been really pleased with my experience of the Pear Tree. Genuinely caring, thoughtful and intelligent staff who remember details about son and give lots of their time. The nursery is always striving to improve. They renew equipment regularly, support staff development and keep the nursery looking
good and clean with regular changes and improvements.

The nursery is very spacious and allows kids to explore freely. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery and loves the interactive games and baking they get involved in.


The nursery teachers are super friendly and talk about your child's day with great details and passion.


He

outdoor area is a bit hit especially the sand and swings for my little one.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.833 for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.833
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
