Fantastic nursery, the staff are friendly, caring, compassionate and hard-working. My kids have loved coming here over the last year and settled in very quickly. The outdoor facilities are great and the kids are constantly learning about something new. Just a great experience all around.

Review from Nicola S (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Pear Tree West Road has been so good to my daughter over the years. She has been supported in her learning and structured transitioning between rooms has made her moves easier. I was so pleased with the help and support we got when potty training, the encouragement she received was great. The variation in activities from going out on walks, playing in the garden, messy play, learning games etc makes her have a huge smile on her face. The range of food seems to be good and healthy. We are kept informed and the communication from the nursery is pretty good. All in all very happy with this nursery.

Absolutely love this nursery. The staff are so friendly and nurturing towards my child and she gains so much from attending. The activities are great and they always do seasonal ones which is cute. The staff truly care about the children and keep them safe and happy. My child has learned so much from being at the nursery and I really couldn't praise them enough. Thank you Pear Tree West Road!

Review from J H (Grandfather of Child) published on 26 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My granddaughter started nursery at Pear Tree in January 2024. She has thoroughly enjoyed being in the Baby room and the 18-24months room. She has developed considerably over this period of time. This includes her ability to play and interact with others, her speech and her physical and cognitive development. We have found the staff friendly, communicative, professional and diligent. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to others.

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Pear Tree Nursery is a fantastic nursery. My little one has been here since she was 7 months old and she's been very happy there. Staff are extremely helpful and accommodate to all her needs. She loves her teachers and I can clearly see that they enjoy working in the nursery and interacting with the children. Any time I mention anything to improve, the staff takes it seriously and makes things better. I highly recommend it.

Review from Vicky I (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has attended Pear Tree Nursery (West Road) for several months now. The staff are absolutely fabulous they are fun, attentive and nurturing. My little boy runs into the nursery each day and is always greeted with a smile by all the staff, Pear Tree isn't a nursery to us it's our little family leaving my son each day knowing he will be loved, cared for and treated with dignity and respect makes me so happy! The staff are also very good at passing over information including food and fluid intake, nappies etc. We have a few more years at Pear Tree thank goodness. It's a fun and educational environment for my son. Attentive to all his needs also. The best nursery ever, we do love our Pear Tree family. I have also witnessed other nursery rooms within the nursery having awesome fun blowing bubbles making mud pies and running wild in the garden when I come to collect my son, this always makes me smile to see staff actively involved in the play experience. Definitely 5 stars.

My son loves nursery, he runs in happily in the morning and always talks about the staff and children at home when looking through photos from the nursery day. They have so much fun and lots of learning takes place.

Review from Leanne S (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Pear Tree Nursery West Road in August 2022 and the improvement in the nursery between then and now has been really impressive. The whole team at West Road are really dedicated and hard working, putting in a huge amount of effort with the kids. My daughter loves going every day and she is developing really well and learning so much. Would have no hesitation in recommending West Road.

Review from Gill H (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The improvements over the last few months have been huge. My 2-year-old loves his time at nursery and has no hesitation going in. The staff are lovely and the activities they do with them are great. Food can be a bit hit or miss but is fine. My only reason for not giving it a five star is due to the fact they don’t spend much time out of the nursery setting. The garden however is great. We also get really regular updates through the app.

Review from Steve C (Father of Child) published on 2 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery has been doing some fantastic activities with the children such as incubating eggs and watching tadpoles develop into frogs, which has generated some great conversations around our dinner table. The staff have gone the extra mile by bringing in their own pets (a snake and a lizard) and this child-led approach is really working.

Pear Tree has obviously had its problems but my son really loves going. They have made a real effort and we have never had any issues personally. The snakes and lizard and visit from RNLI recently made a real impression on him, keep up the good work.

Have been really impressed with all of the improvements the team have made over the last 6 months.
Great communication, varied activities and really caring practitioners.
Our son has really developed in all aspects since he joined last year.
Really appreciative of the recent trips along with the focus on educational learning.

One member of staff, in particular, gets a special shout-out for being a star.

I feel that in the last few months, I have noticed an increase in activities the children carry out and my daughter has been more excited to go to nursery. She has especially enjoyed going on walks in the community.

Review from Amy C (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son recently moved up to a new class and the team in the new room couldn't do enough to support his transition.
He is the happiest he has been going to nursery which makes drop off so much easier as a mum having to sometimes rush off to work.
From his time in the room before when he was younger, the team there were just as incredible and still check on him now which is lovely to see how invested they all are and how much they really care.

Would recommend this nursery to anyone interested in sending their child here.
