Blue Pear Day Nursery Penge

The team area AMAZING - so many team member who have been with us for our entire journey which we think represents a great working environment as there is limited turnover. We are very sad to be leaving but so very grateful that they have been a part of our children's early education and care.

Blue Pear has helped me raise my three children. The people who work there genuinely love and appreciate our children. They even helped identify a foot problem that needed treatment in my first daughter, and helped her complete regular physio exercises. Our children feel cared for and happy in their environments in everything from baby room, to toddlers to preschool. My daughter who now attends school is now top of her class, possibly the mix of gentle instruction, play and responsibility taught at Blue Pear. I recommend Blue Pear to anyone who needs a nursery and know that my professional life has been made so much easier by being able to trust the care that Blue Pear provides is stimulating, fun, caring and educational for all my kids at every stage. Thank you Blue Pear!

All of the staff were wonderful, the chefs always made yummy food, the play activities were always so imaginative and kindness that everyone showed has been amazing, we are really going to miss everyone, thank you so much.

Our son attended Blue Pear from the age of 13 months to 4 and a half. We couldn't have been happier with the nursery - he was nurtured and cared for by all the members of staff and it felt like a second home to him. The learning, playing and socialising experiences for him were all fantastic and we felt so happy and reassured that he was being looked after so well every day. We loved that they spent time in the community so often, accessing the local green spaces. The menu was also fantastic - offering a wide range of healthy meals and snacks.

Every child is truly known, valued and loved. Blue Pear hasn't just cared for my children-it has helped raise them. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

My daughter had a wonderful experience in the pre school room at Blue Pear. The range of activities across the week was impressive, you could tell that every day had been planned with great care and creativity. She gained a lot from the beautiful space but also from the trips out. The menu was varied and healthy and she always enjoyed the food. The staff were attentive and enthusiastic and she really loved spending time with them. She built lovely relationships with them and the other children. Communication and organisation was great overall. We were sad to say goodbye but she was also very ready for school; the balance of free play with more structure developmental learning activities was great preparation for joining reception.

My daughter went to Blue Pear Day Nursery for almost two years after starting at Childminder. The team made her feel really welcome and she settled really quickly. The team are brilliant at creating a very positive culture for the children which results in good behaviour and a calm atmosphere. The kids are also very caring towards each other. The quality of learning is very high with a good amount of practice in phonics, numbers and wider learning. They are very thoughtful in putting on special events which welcome parents and guardians into the preschool. There's no outdoor space but the team take children to the library every day. Altogether, very pleased with our experience at Blue Pear.

However, I must say, if your child is on a funded place, they're not involved with certain events i.e Christmas lunch/ sports day which I don't think is fair for any child to miss out!

They get outside twice a day consistently and I liked that baby room just had six spaces, it was a very nurturing, calm environment for my son to start off in. He and we have made friends for life through the other kids and families. Communication always great and lovely atmosphere throughout. Absolutely recommend.

The staff in Blue Pear is amazing, friendly, always happy to help, answer any questions and so on. They all provided excellent care for my daughter and my son. I can 100% recommend this nursery.

My child was very happy at Blue Pear and I would highly recommend it to other parents. The school and teachers are fantastic and with weekly updates on how my child is doing, I felt secure in knowing my child was happy and getting involved. Communication from blue pear has been great and all staff are friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend it to others.

My son was looked after really well at Blue Pear Day Nursery. The staff were very caring and knowledgeable. Every day they did loads of different and fun activities. It was well organised and professional.

My child has been attending Blue Pear Day Nursery and Pre-School for over a year, where his development has been incredible. They have an holistic approach to teaching, often using a variety of resources to educate children to make learning more fun and interactive. Parents are kept in the loop with their child's progress through an online system which gives us an insight of their daily activities as well as being informative and photos are accompanied with a detailed write up. Also, what stood out to me is that this nursery teaches my son life skills such as pouring his own water, helped improve his co-ordination, scraping his plate after lunch and also have a cleaning station present where they can clean their faces. Not only has this encouraged my child to be independent but they have successfully prepared my child for school ensuring the transition is as smooth as possible. Staff are friendly. Overall cannot fault this nursery. Thank you for doing such a great job!

My daughter has been at Blue Pear for nearly 2 years and we are very happy with the progress she has made in that time. The staff are friendly and caring whilst also ensuring that children are provided with daily learning opportunities. My daughter will be starting school in 6 months and although we will be sad to leave this nursery, we know she will be completely ready for reception!

Very happy with the members of the staff and my daughter has loved her time at the nursery. The staff have always been very kind in helping in every possible way to help the little ones reach their goals to get them ready for school.

Very happy with the nursery, my daughter likes it and comes home very happy. The staff are very helpful all the time, nice and warm. The children do a lot of activities, like going out in the park and to the library.

My daughter joined in April this year and has come on in leaps and bounds. I get daily updates on her and her room leaders are up for a chat. All the staff are extremely friendly and full of smiles. The children always have one on one time, as well as group time. My daughter's room leaders are quite clued onto my little one's behaviour patterns. I am very happy with Blue Pear and my daughter is very happy there.

Our son was one of the first babies who joined Blue Pear when they opened to younger children. We have been thrilled with his experience there. All staff know our son, his key workers are kind, dedicated, warm, fun and professional. The management are very hands-on and know all the children. I was slightly concerned about the lack of outdoor space but the children go to a variety of parks and have fantastic and diverse outdoor experiences.

(runny nose/sore bottom etc). Great food choices always fun and educational activities. I consider as an advantage that they take kids out in public every day and to learn to behave on the street.
