Overall Experience

Really friendly and informative staff. Let us know everything that our daughter has been up to on the day and what new skills she is developing. The nursery has a useful app that keeps us up to date on our daughter's activities and if you agree a selection of daily photos of activities. Would recommend

it to anyone living in the East Lothian area.

Overall Experience

We continue to be impressed by the entire team in Owl Babies and one staff member in particular for doing such a great job in providing a safe, secure and engaging environment. The team helped to overcome initial settling challenges and build up familiarity by offering a home visit. Our daughter loves

her time in nursery and we've seen a really positive impact on her development. Thanks for all you do.

Reply from Colette Walker, Manager at Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are so happy that you are impressed with the Owl babies team and look forward to creating more stimulating and engaging experiences for the little ones.

Overall Experience

My eldest daughter used to attend Meadowpark so I was keen for my younger daughter to do the same. My daughter recently moved to Meadowpark from another Peartree site as she was on the waiting list. The transition has been smooth and she has settled really well. The staff at Meadowpark have been welcoming

to us which has made the process really easy. They keep us up to date with everything she does and there is a clear handover at pick up about her day. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which helps to ensure our daughter is safe in their hands.

Reply from Colette Walker, Manager at Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark

Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are glad that the transition between two sites have been smooth and we are providing a warm friendly atmosphere. We look forward to watching your wee one grow and develop new skills.

Overall Experience

Both my kids have been at Pear Tree Church Street and we've had a really positive experience. Our son will be leaving for our local council nursery in a few months and I know he'll really miss it. Even on days when he's feeling shy at drop off, as happens with lots of kids, the staff are always really

kind and supportive, and keep us updated on his mood after we leave.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are so pleased that we have provided positive experiences for you and your children.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Church Street for almost 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with it! The staff are wonderful, so caring and nothing is ever too much for them. We had never done a private nursery before so didn't know what to expect but can't recommend them enough and know our daughter feels

safe and secure there. The building and facilities have had an update recently with the children's best interests taking into account when planning it all. I love the photos and updates throughout her day as well. The staff are all kind and our daughter has made such a lovely bond with some of them, they seem to genuinely care. I also feel she has come on a lot with things from nursery too and seems to have build nice friendships. Thank you!

Our son is so happy at Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark. He comes home with lots to tell us about his day and he has a lovely bond with his teachers. This year he has both potty trained and dropped his nap and nursery have been so supportive and made both transitions easy for us all. We love the big garden

and that the children get outside a lot.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad your child has a lovely relationship with the staff and glad he is happy to tell you all about his day.

My daughter has came on leaps and bounds since joining nursery. I was very nervous to leave her in someone else's care when I returned back to work but the staff are great and caring with the children and I feel comfortable leaving my daughter there whilst I'm at work knowing all her needs are met and

more.
Thank you Church Street!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to Pear Tree, church street now for just over a year, and I can't thank the staff enough.
For the care of our daughter but also us as parents.
It can be a nervous time the thought of someone else you don't know looking after your child. But every step, conversation and

visit, made us feel like a part of a family.
Thank you.

Meadowpark have been excellent. My son has thrived. I love that they do lots of singing songs with him.
He seems to have really bonded with all the staff even though he has a clear favourite.
I'm really grateful that all meals and snacks are provided as I know this isn't the case for all nurseries.

Overall Experience

The Pumpkin Patch Nursery is truly exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to understanding and supporting each child in their care. When our daughter struggled with separation anxiety due to my work commitments, the team went above and beyond to help us through

it. They even created a personalized calendar for us to use at home, helping her visualize when I would be back, which made a huge difference.
The staff's expertise and experience are outstanding. It will be a sad day when we say goodbye, as both our children have flourished here. Through a wide range of engaging activities and hands-on learning experiences, they have grown tremendously and formed lasting friendships. We are deeply grateful for everything Pumpkin Patch Nursery has done for our family.

Overall Experience

The nursery is wonderful. Our daughter loves coming there, made lots of friends and we always have to convince her to come back home. She squeaks with joy when she hears the names of the staff and pretend-calls them when we're away on holiday. That's honestly all you could ask for.
They feed the children

well and as a vegetarian, she has a varied rich diet and tries lots of new things.

Overall Experience

Pear Tree West Road have been fantastic across the board. When our son first started after we moved house, we felt extra care and attention were given to help him settle in. Since then he has moved up to the next room where the staff have continued to support his learning beyond our expectations.
The

frequency of the updates is excellent and reflects well-thought-out and resourced learning opportunities. The outside space is superb and we really like the fact that all staff across the different rooms interact with all pupils in this environment. I can not speak highly enough of the staff and the effort they put in!

Overall Experience

My son has been at Pear Tree West Road since we moved to the area in August 2024. He had previously attended a private nursery in Edinburgh which we were distraught at having to leave, however, Pear Tree is in a different league altogether and has surpassed every expectation we had. The staff are a

credit to the nursery, they go above and beyond to create a safe, secure, happy environment in which my little boy thrives. His confidence, learning and social skills have come on leaps and bounds since starting here, he loves arriving in the morning and I know he is truly cared for and nurtured - I couldn't ask for anything more as a parent. They place a huge emphasis on outdoor learning and forest school as well as visits to the community including inter-generational visits to care homes. The experiences he has are undoubtedly having a huge positive impact on his early childhood and learning and I can't speak more highly of them.
