Park Avenue Montessori Nursery

My child started the nursery this October. It was difficult for him to settle but he's been getting all the support he needs from the staff. Special thanks to the management for being patient with my child. Highly recommend this place. As a Mother who was together 24/7, day and night with my child, I can leave him there as I know he is just in the right nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing. They do a great job.

My son has been coming to Pear Tree for a few months now, it took him a bit longer to settle but all members of staff were really helpful helping him to settle and I felt completely reassured and at ease leaving him when he was still upset. I'm so happy with how much my son is learning he's always coming home with new things he's learnt. Staff members are all well trained and professional. I get regular updates and emails about my son and what's going on in the nursery, they always have lots of activities and support for my son. The garden is great too.

From the moment I looked around Pear Tree, I felt really happy my children could go there. The staff are warm and friendly and put a lot of effort into making the children comfortable. They get to know each child and provide fun learning opportunities for them. My children have become much more confident and independent since they started the nursery and really enjoy going.

My daughter started this nursery in September. She settled really quickly with the help of the brilliant staff and has bonded with the girls in her room. I feel at ease with the staff as all very friendly. The nursery is clean, safe, well organised and children are well looked after. The Montessori way of learning is amazing and really teaches the kids to do more for themselves. My sons both went to this nursery and I would definitely recommend to everyone. Best nursery around.

Pear Tree Montessori Nursery is the best nursery ever. Staff is fantastic, friendly and careful. My little one is very happy and comfortable. We can notice the huge improvement in her skills from the day she joined.

The nursery provide a clean, comfortable, calm and engaging environment for all the children. There are always new fascinating ideas going round to keep the children learning process so enjoyable - as parents, we see pictures of activities that have been carried out during the day. Staff are very kind, caring, polite, always with a great smile, responsive and very informative. I love the Montessori approach as this gives them real life hands-on experience in daily basis, preparing the children for life long learning whilst it is with so much joy. Viewed 7 nurseries before we picked Pear Tree Montessori Nursery 7 months ago, this came first on our list and it hasn't disappointed me!

We wouldn't have our son anywhere else.

I cannot recommend Pear Tree enough. Every member of staff cares for my daughter lovingly and have created a really amazing bond with her. Pear Tree arrange incredibly fun activities for my daughter to partake in and I believe she eats tastier food than both myself and my husband. The variation in the menu is a testament to the team. My daughter has created some incredible friendships with both babies and adults alike at nursery and her growth and development has been incredible since she started at 8 months old. On top of everything else, the nursery is clean, well equipped and has a very nice atmosphere within all of the rooms. I believe it is a true testament to the Montessori ethos.

The building is amazing, very Montessori, the personnel is very respectful towards parents and children, very creative activities and a lot of outside play! I totally recommend them, my daughter is developing so well! They do respect my nutrition preferences!

Our son has been attending Pear Tree for over a year now and started when he was just 9 months old. We have used the nursery for all three of our children (the eldest is now 7) but it changed hands just before our son started. Many of the staff stayed which is why we chose to continue sending our little boy there as I believe that it is the staff that makes this nursery such a wonderful childcare setting. The continuity of the staff has always struck me as being quite unique to Pear Tree after speaking to other parents who have experienced a lot of staff turnover or agency staff in other nurseries. Some of the nursery staff looked after our eldest daughter when she was a baby. Our son is the most calm and placid little child and he should be embarking on the terrible twos! I believe it’s because of the Montessori way of teaching and caring for the children. His concentration levels are amazing for a child who is yet to turn two. The nursery itself is spotless - it amazes me.

I cannot recommend Pear Tree Montessori enough. Both of my sons attend two days a week and they absolutely love it here. The staff are very attentive and approachable and my children are thriving in this caring and calm environment.

Both my boys have attended Pear Tree for the past 12 months and absolutely love their time here. The whole nursery has recently been refurbished and is beautifully presented. The rooms are large, bright, inviting, comfortable, clean and uncluttered. Importantly there are numerous planned and occasional activities for the children to engage with throughout the day - my boys especially love all the messy play. The activities are really well thought out. The children have a lovely big garden and go outside every day. The staff are fantastic, so warm and welcoming and develop a strong relationship with each child. I love the regular social media updates throughout the day so I can see what my boys have been doing. The varied menu is also a bonus.

I can not recommend Pear Tree Montessori enough.

The menu is varied, healthy and nutritious and facilities are clean and well maintained.

We were apprehensive about a nursery after our daughter had spent 18 months with a wonderful childminder, but Pear Tree has been amazing, the staff are so caring, patient and creative. I love fact that the nursery is clean, uncluttered and beautifully presented, and the children seem to have real pride in their surroundings. I'm blown away by the variety of things the children do every week in preschool, and how much my daughter has learnt. It's a lovely calm, nurturing environment, we love it!

We just moved to the area and started sending our daughter to Pear Tree Nursery from January 2019. Honestly, we were pleased with the staff, activities and facilities. Interaction with the staff is fantastic and I really loved the feedback we get at pick up times, as it is very detailed and informative. The variety of activities provided by the team really helps and I believe it provides a good transition to school. I am thankful to Pear Tree team as they made me feel safe and happy to send my daughter there, this relieved lots of stress as a new resident in the area.

I have two children (18mths and 4years) at the Nursery and they are both excited to go every morning. The staff create strong bonds with the children and parents and create a safe happy place for them to play and learn. The kids enjoy the sense of independence that Montessori teaches as well as many of the other aspects. The outside space is good and a private online social group is updated daily to allow parents to see what their kids are up too, as well as personalised development updates via the tapestry portal. Kids are happy, which makes for happy parents.

Our daughter started at Pear Tree in January, settling in happily - helped by the caring team in the pre-school room. The Montessori methods exude respectfulness and calm, (I rarely hear a child upset in the nursery). Children are given responsibility and rise to it. My daughter loves to help serve food, wash dishes and put on her own splash suit when playing outside - all skills she's developed at nursery, giving her a real sense of pride. When first joining they accommodated my daughter's (mainly beige!) food choices, giving her time to adapt to the menu. She now eats a more varied diet, much in thanks to their support. The nursery has a homely, safe, nurturing atmosphere, coupled with interesting toys, learning materials, varied activities and opportunity for messy play and fresh air in the large garden. The new pre-school space has been beautifully converted, you feel a sense of pride and on-going investment in the setting. I highly recommend this lovely nursery.

Absolutely love Pear Tree Montessori Nursery. My son was at a different nursery where he never really seemed to engage and the reports were always that he is shy, very quiet etc. Since joining Pear Tree, he’s a completely different child. The staff are engaging and involved with each child and as they purposely keep it small, it means that they get to know each child well. The activities they organise for the children are not only fun and educational but also focused on other skills such as gratitude and looking after each other which are so often forgotten these days. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pear Tree to any parent.

The renovation project has created a beautiful calming environment too. The garden is fabulous and we couldn’t be happier here!
