My daughter is always excited to go to nursery. She's always happy there and wild!
The facilities on offer are brilliant especially the garden which my daughter loves. When it's a rainy day there is plenty for them to consider.
The staff are excellent, friendly to parents and welcoming to the
kids. Plenty of activities and excellent communication throughout the day and at handover.
Nothing is a hassle for the team. They work very hard for the kids and there's never been any concerns.

We've had a positive experience with the nursery and have been happy with the care our child has received. The staff are warm and engaged, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children. They always welcome my child enthusiastically each day, and he looks forward to telling them all his updates.
It's reassuring knowing that he's happy there and well looked after day to day.

Rory is currently going through potty training which has been challenging to say the least. The staff at Church Street have been very supportive to help Rory on his training. We have also seen big progress in Rory's speech, grammar and general social development in last few months. Well done team!

We have had both children attend the nursery from babies. The staff have always created a great relationship with both children and they have loved being at the nursery until they left for school. The outdoor area is great and the children spend a lot of time outside. We are happy with both the nursery
and the approach of the staff and we would highly recommend the nursery.

Really happy with this nursery and all the staff there. My son enjoys going and the staff seem to really bond well with the children. The staff seem to care about him as an individual and recently when he was unwell in hospital and off nursery, the manager showed a lot of care, checking in to see how
he was. Lovely outdoor area which is used frequently and resources and toys seem to be great for his age.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started at Pear Tree in January and it has been a very positive experience. Staff were great with both mum and baby during the settling in stage and my son is now loving going to nursery .
I have noticed a change in his confidence and I think a lot of it comes down to starting nursery as
he is now a very social boy in new situations when previously he would have been a bit shy.
Staff are great at keeping us up to date and I am very happy with our overall experience so far.

A wonderful nursery with caring, thoughtful, friendly and attentive staff. My son has recently been transitioning up a room and they have been so patient while he gets used to the new space and new faces. They have been so gentle letting him do things in his own time - this has meant the world to us.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Pear Tree Nursery Church Street is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.936 for Pear Tree Nursery Church Street is calculated as follows: ( (529 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 564 Ratings = 4.936
  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 Church Street is based on 47 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 47 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.
