Woodberry staff have been amazing with my daughter, they have ensured all her care needs are met and ensured that she has settled well into nursery. As a mum with a daughter who has health conditions ( cmpa, Laryngomalacia, difficulty with swallow and high risk choking and aspirating) the staff spent
time understanding my daughter's needs and ensured there was a care plan in place and all staff was aware and had a good level of understanding around her conditions. They give in-depth handovers, are easy to talk to and show a real care and nurturing nature towards my daughter. The manager at Woodberry is very bright incredibly happy, welcoming everyone in to the nursery. She ensures she has time to discuss any concerns and is always available/ visible. The baby room staff are welcoming, ensuring the handover from parent to key worker goes smoothly, ensures the children are nurtured, mimick routine from home, ensure the children are engaged in activities.

I can tell you with complete certainty that there is no chance I would ever change my boys nursery. They come home from nursery beaming about their days, they have so much fun and are kept so engaged. I don't have a single complaint about any of the staff, they all treat my kids with such love and support
I am 100% comfortable leaving them in nursery and never once have I been concerned about any aspect of how they're cared for.
If I have ever had any issues/concerns I have brought them up with the staff and they have always resolved them for me (sometimes going way above and beyond) and always do it with a smile - nothing is ever too much.


All staff are so willing to work alongside me in helping my boys developments in any way that I could ask - whether it be potty training, resistance to tooth brushing, fussy eating, building friendships etc. The staff have always taken away any of my concerns and worked on them to help us. 10/10 warm, nurturing and welcoming environment.

I can't recommend this nursery more! My little one has been at Peartree for 9 months and she has been so happy and excited to go to nursery every day from the get go. The staff are all so friendly, welcoming and actually seem to really know my little one. It has such a family feel to it! The staff seem
genuinely interested when I tell them the latest interests and activities my little one is into and have created activities at the nursery tailored to these!! Incredible!! My little one has been developing incredibly through the support of the nursery, absolutely smashing milestones and already developing a love of learning. The staff have not just been friendly and supportive to my child, they have also been a kind and supportive bunch when I have had a hard time personally and offered genuine shoulder to cry on and chat to. The fantastic staff at this nursery are real hero's and the joy and enthusiasm they bring every day is absolutely priceless!

My son has been attending this nursery for nearly a year. His development has rocketed. The staff are so lovely and relateable. They have gone above and beyond, tailoring each day to the child's interests and developmental needs. As a first-time mum, I was very nervous putting my child in nursery however
they showed me quickly how caring all staff are. 100% recommend.

Woodberry Peartree is a wonderful nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going there. She had learnt so much in such a short time.
The staff is compassionate, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, contributing to my child's cognitive,
social, and emotional development.
I couldn't ask for better communication. They are really responsive to any queries and providing regular updates on my child's activities and learning progress.
We wholeheartedly recommend Woodberry Peartree Nursery for its exceptional care, dedicated staff and friendly environment.
Thank you for all you do!

We attended the recent graduation event which was a wonderful celebration for all those who were off to school this year. A really well-run event with music, face paint, stalls, ice cream, games, singing - so much going on! There were some last-minute changes due to the wonderful British weather, which
were all handled very professionally and smoothly. A great celebration event!

Woodberry Peartree is a wonderful nursery/preschool. The workers really care about the children and put in so much time and thought into planning learning opportunities in a fun and engaging way. In July they ran a family fun day which included preschool graduation party. They put in lots of effort
to make it a fun and memorable day for everyone and even with last-minute changes due to the weather still ran a really successful event making children and parents feel really valued.

My daughter had to leave this nursery as they couldn’t offer any extra days as I had changed my job. So I had to move my daughter to the nursery in Sholing. The manager at Peartree said she would let me know when any extra days are available. Turns out they do not keep a waiting list. I found out today
that a child in Sholing is moving over to Peartree for the full 5 days. Now they say they have no spaces left. Peartree is walking distance from our home, it takes forever to get my daughter over to the Sholing each morning then make it into work on time in town. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed that the staff at Peartree are not truthful.

Our daughter has attended Woodberry Peartee since January 2021 and we couldn't be happier. She is currently thriving in the preschool room, but also loved the under 2s and toddler room. All the staff are friendly, polite and engaging and most of all genuinely care about the children's development, safety
and care. It's usually a struggle to get our daughter to leave as she has had so much fun and I am sure her abilities have and continue to improve at an increased rate due to the staff's input. Overall we couldn't be happier with this setting and the staff.

I was initially quite nervous about returning to work but the care and attention shown to our son by every member of staff at Woodberry meant we were both confident and happy within a few weeks of starting.
Now our son has been going to nursery for over a year and we could not be more pleased with

Both of my children went to this facility. My eldest is already a school girl and started school with a strong foundation in English language. She became more social too. All thanks to the nursery. My son still attends, he loves it and his English is booming too. I'm pretty sure the children are in

My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now. The nursery has worked hard and supported him to become a confident and sociable little boy who absolutely loves going into nursery each day. This has made me returning back to work so much easier. I am kept up to date with events through the
day via the app and handovers happen at the start and end of each day. I am excited to watch him be supported by a fantastic team of staff as he grows.

Both our children have attended this nursery and overall have had an excellent experience. The staff in the room have created welcoming and fun environments and both of them have settled in well. The range of activities is very good and the rooms and garden are fantastic environments for children.
Communication
from the management/director team can be impersonal with a lack of clear explanation for decisions. I have raised this with them and I’m sure they will endeavour to improve this.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can't fault this nursery setting! My boy joined during the pandemic, after what had been a pretty tough year after he was born in lockdown. The staff have been so supportive and my boy has thrived in their setting which is a huge relief after he missed out on so much interaction in his first twelve
months. He loves his key worker, talks about her and the other staff a lot at home which I think speaks volumes!
The updates are great - both the daily contacts and also observations about his learning and development.
The setting is wonderfully equipped and I particularly love the outdoor space.
The menu is also great - my son eats so well there, such a varied and healthy mix of meals and snacks. It's clear that they care about health and nutrition and I also think the quality of food adds to the value for money.
Cannot wait to enjoy the facilities to the fullest as we move out of the pandemic and I can get to experience the nursery more!

We have always been so impressed with Woodberry, whether it's the quality of provision, their caring nature, the dedication of staff or the fact our son runs in in the morning and is reluctant to leave in the afternoon! Nursery provision is obviously a large expense for a family but there are no hidden
extra costs, like some other providers and I really do feel Woodberry provide good value for what we pay.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.838) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 5.000 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 5
  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 3.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.338
  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.
