Third child to attend the nursery and continues to surpass expectations on all fronts.
Safeguarding, learning, development, and interaction with parents are key points from our perspective and continue to invest time and resource on all fronts. Listening to needs of parents in particular remains of
paramount importance.
Would highly recommend.

My daughter's preschool journey with Pear Tree Montessori Nursery has been very positive. The staff show a keen interest in her and her development. As parents, we get regular informal and formal feedback and it’s always nice to be greeted with a smile.

Our daughter loves attending Pear Tree and has been coming here for the last 2 years. The staff are kind and caring and the facilities are fantastic. She loves the outside space and does a great range of activities each day. The Montessori ethos has encouraged her to be very independent and helped develop
her confidence. Great healthy food too. Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough.

Our son has been attending Pear Tree for 2.5 years now and is really happy there. The staff are brilliant at responding to the children's individual likes and experiences and building activities that tie in. We have seen our son's confidence grow dramatically over the past year, and I think Pear Tree
has been a big part of this.

Can't recommend the nursery highly enough. The key workers are attentive, confident and experienced. My child settled in quickly, which was a surprise (and a relief!) after a previous negative experience in another nursery.
Management is professional, responsive and accommodating. Communication is
fantastic.
Most of all, my baby comes home happy! What more could you ask for?

Pear Tree Montessori Nursery has been the perfect environment for early years of care for my child. It is very accommodating, nurturing, inclusive, child-led and community centred. My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery,
and we have found there is a great balance of focusing
on child development, interest and play. The staff cannot do enough to accommodate activities that speak to your child's interest e.g organising a morning in the kitchen for my son who loves baking, and are incredibly helpful when asked to help with certain development points, changes etc. The nursery has also been brilliant at catering for a vegan diet, making sure that my son is always included when non-vegan treats are brought in, etc. Its focus on independence and community-led activities set it aside from other nurseries - taking the children shopping, to the local care home, reinforcing domestic skills etc, always in a nurturing way, is quite unique.

We looked at quite a few nurseries in the area and what stood out for us was the family feel at Pear Tree Montessori Nursery which is down to the amazing staff. We were lucky to get a spot and our son has settled in very quickly. The children seem really happy and the staff are very creative and thoughtful
with the activities throughout the week. Have been impressed with the food menu too.

Easily the best nursery my daughter has been to. The staff are very caring and attentive to her emotions, her well being and activities. My daughter always comes home smiling or singing and sometimes with baked biscuits, art, and paintings and is always excited to be going to nursery! I highly recommend

My daughter is 4 years old and has been going since she was 15 months old. She has come out of her shell so much over the years and her development is improving fantastic with the lovely staff. The nursery is a lovely environment and is always clean. Absolutely gutted this is our final year before the
school adventure starts. You are a lovely team at Pear tree! Keep up the hard work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pear tree is a warm, welcoming, safe and fun place with professional and friendly staff. I'm really glad I chose this nursery for my child. The staff are really caring. My daughter loves the place and is excited to go in every morning. She started going there when she was 11 months old and is now in
Class 3.
Love the way the staff keep us updated on their plans for the month/week and also keep us updated on the progress of the child via handovers and the app. Very impressed with the daily routines the staff provide for the children, with such a vast array of activities, as well as promoting outdoor play and frequent trips to the parks, supermarkets etc. Also pleased with the food which is freshly cooked and nutritious.
I feel proud to see my little one developing into a very confident and independent individual. Highly recommended nursery!

Review from Luke T (Father of Child) published on 29 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a lovely nursery.
We were hesitant to send our child to nursery and entrust her care to others but since she started attending in September she has flourished despite only attending a-day-and-a-half per week.
The staff are caring and clued up on what she has done that day, how she has been
and generally how she is developing. This is extremely reassuring.
Each day we pick her up she greets us with a smile, and is in a happy mood - so they are doing something right!
The nursery provides great feedback - and we look forwards to the updates and observations. We also enjoy looking at what she has done that day on the (secret) Facebook page.
Many thanks

Peartree is the most amazing nursery. My child has been attending since she was 6 months, she’s now in preschool and enjoying her last few months before she starts school.


She has been cared for and supported every day. The people who work there are thoughtful and attentive. I am so grateful for

all they do.


The environment is calm and each child is welcome to express themselves in their own way.


If your child has the chance to attend Peartree it will be the best experience.

Overall Pear Tree is a kind and caring nursery that has really suited both our children. The activities are child-centred and carers are flexible, choosing activities that relate to a child’s interest. The chef is especially kind and seems to know every child’s name as she comes and goes from the building.
She also has the ability to make food our children will eat!
One slight problem is the number of staff changes in my child’s class. She is often greeted by different staff members, and as she finds it difficult to go in, in the morning, it can be very emotional for her with the lack of a key person to greet her.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 18 months. It is an amazing nursery. I feel the staff truly understand and know my daughters strange and wonderful habits. The staff are very polite and lovely and I believe attending this nursery has really helped her development. She loves telling
me all about her day on the way home and about all her friends and she is so happy which is all you want as a parent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Pear Tree when he was 2 years old, we were extremely worried as he was not meeting his milestones and wasn't using any speech as a form of communication.
The staff at Pear Tree were really accommodating to his needs and supported both us as parents as well as our son.


Pear Tree arranged

for extra resources to help bring on his speech as well as regular communication with us and our speech therapist.
A year on, he has come on so much, it's unbelievable he couldn't speak a word a year ago! The nursery regularly updates us on his progress and still helps fill any gaps he still has.
It was one of the best decisions we made to send him to Pear Tree and we will forever be grateful for all the support we have been given.

It’s very easy to feel you’re dropping your little ones off to be one of just a number of children who will all be treated the same. Pear tree go above and beyond to meet the individual needs of each child in a thoughtful, educational and encouraging way. Helping integrate learning and development at
home and at nursery through regular updates, emails and other communications makes everything progress as smoothly as possible

We have two children at Pear Tree who have attended for over a year. The staff really care for the children and put so much into each of the activities to suit their needs and interests. Every day they do something new and interesting, with regular updates on the closed Facebook group, as well as detailed
observations on tapestry. The food menu is varied and nutritious. Communication and feedback is excellent, there are regular parents evenings and parent-only meetings to discuss changes or make suggestions, as well as regular email newsletters. The garden is excellent, well maintained with lots for the children to do. The closed Facebook group has been a particular highlight for us as we’ve been able to see our children interacting with friends, seeing them with their peers doing activities has been especially important due to covid meaning we’re never physically in their rooms at pick up or drop off. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pear Tree to others.

My daughter started at Pear Tree in August, the staff has been amazing in helping her settle and keeping me in the loop! They always have time to provide feedback each day and I genuinely feel that they have a good knowledge of my daughter. The range of activities is great, my little girl now goes in
arms open to the staff each day!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.662)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.662) out of 10 for Park Avenue Montessori Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.944 for Park Avenue Montessori Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.944
  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 4.718 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park Avenue Montessori Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.818
  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.
