Pear Tree Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery, which feels like a home away from home. Our son joined in September 2024 and has already settled in so well and loves attending his sessions. We looked at several nurseries and decided upon Pear Tree because of the nurturing, family feel and the way the
establishment focuses on key life skills that children need to support them in daily life. The staff are supportive and always very welcoming. They provide the children with many enriching experiences and for us, as parents, we love that our son has a big smile on his face when he arrives at the nursery and reaches out to his keyworkers, knowing that he is in a safe, caring, fun environment.

We really lucked out the day we heard Pear Tree had a place for our baby daughter. She attended from a relatively young age, so it really was a leap of faith. However, it was 100% the right choice. It has a home-from-home feel to it; small, personable, warm, with happy children and parents. The opening
hours of 8am-6pm work well and the nursery communicate effectively with parents at all times. We feel like we really know and trust the staff and that they really care about what they do and how they do it. If we moved house and were further away from Pear Tree I would still commute to ensure our daughter went to Pear Tree!!

Pear Tree Day Nursery is wonderful and we are so happy our daughter is learning and growing in this nurturing environment. We visited many nurseries locally and near our workplace, but nowhere compared. Our daughter has been there since 10.5 months old and is nearly 2, attending 2 long days a week.
We have been amazed at the amount she has learned there, her confidence with other children, and how quickly we noticed motor skills such as using cutlery came along thanks to being in this encouraging environment with children of varying ages. We love the caring staff, and so does she. It instantly felt safe & warm, like family we could trust, they are invested in working with us through stages/tantrums/behaviours, always guided by us, our preferences, and our routine. Meals and snacks are brilliant, things we wouldn't necessarily have the time to make or like ourselves so are thankful for the variety this brings. We really do love this nursery and recommend it to all.

When researching local nurseries I came across Pear Tree and loved how homely it looked. After viewing it in person and meeting some of the staff, we decided it would be a good fit for our daughter. I'm so glad we did because the team are wonderful! They really take the time to get to know the children
and come up with fun and creative activities for them to do. Our daughter's confidence, language, and social skills have come a long way since she started there which is a testament to the staff at Pear Tree Nursery - Thank you!

Our son has been attending Pear Tree Nursery since he turned 1, and he's now nearly 4. From the very first day, we felt a great sense of trust and comfort with this place. The team at Pear Tree is exceptional, each staff member brings a wonderful personality and a genuine passion for caring for the
children. They create a nurturing environment where every child is looked after with great attention and care. We couldn't be happier with the support and dedication they show, and we highly recommend them to any parent.

Pear Tree has been a wonderful nursery for both our two children. They have both thrived in the environment, been well cared for, and been incredibly happy. We can't thank the amazing team there enough for all they have done, from when they were little babies, all the way up through the pre-school years.
The food is to a consistently high standard, and communication is thorough and responsive. We are updated frequently with information, and if we have a question, it is always answered. The kind caring nature of all the staff is greatly appreciated, and staff turnover is really low, which is great for the children.
I would recommend Pear Tree to anyone.

We toured lots of nurseries and none of them felt right until we went to Pear Tree. Our baby was a preemie so we had lots and anxiety and reservations with him starting. Pear tree is small so no child gets lost in numbers. 2 years in he often comes home telling us the practitioners and manager are some
of his favourite people. So grateful for them!

Best nursery in the area. We have two children at Pear Tree - one in the preschool room and one in the baby room. It is an incredibly calm environment where the focus is on what the children want to learn. Similar to Montessori, it's a curiosity-led approach. It's very natural and there aren't loads
of plastic, bright toys around. There's also free flow to the garden, which our children adore. They are constantly in the fresh air and exploring safely. Pear Tree has also catered to our child with a milk allergy, still providing him beautiful home-cooked meals, that are nutritional and delicious.
The staff are outstanding and like a family. They all get to know the kids so well and are incredibly supportive. 10/10 recommend.

Reply from Maria Parra De Dunphy, Nursery Manager at Pear Tree Day Nursery

Thank you for such a beautiful review. We strive to provide our children with an homely, curios and enchanting environment where they can learn, have fun and most of all be a child.

Pear Tree is an amazing nursery. We have been part of the Pear Tree family for a long time now having both children attend there. The staff are great, attentive, and caring whilst also creating a space to learn and explore. Both children have loved the activities, and parties and equally enjoy the food
on offer and usually have extra helpings! The garden and covered outside space are a great addition for the children. Staff are always happy to help and assist with development like potty training for example too. Would highly recommend it.

Leaving your child for the first time is never easy, particularly with strangers. Fortunately, at Pear Tree, I left after my first visit feeling so reassured. My daughter has been there for 2.5 months and the team are wonderful. It truly feels like my daughter is going to spend time with an extended
family of people who know and care for her. They provide regular updates on how she is doing to provide reassurance and I'm so glad we managed to get a place for our daughter there.

Pear Tree Nursery has been an absolute blessing for my family, especially for my autistic daughter, who attended from age 1 to 5. The love, dedication, and care they provided were extraordinary. From day one, it was clear this was a place where every child is valued, and kindness is at the heart of
everything they do.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure my daughter felt safe, supported, and understood. Their patience and tailored approach allowed her to thrive at her own pace, and they consistently offered personalised support, from sensory play to reassurance on tough days.
What truly sets Pear Tree apart is the genuine love and joy the staff bring. It's more than a nursery; it's a second home where children are nurtured with unwavering commitment to their well-being. I always felt at peace knowing she was in such caring hands.
Pear Tree Nursery is a shining example of early years education. I can't recommend them highly enough-they are truly one in a million!

The staff at Pear Tree are amazing and really look after the children. They are great at building relationships with the children. My daughter has grown in confidence going there and is truly ready to start school. At the beginning of the year she would not talk to anyone and by the end she would chat
to the staff and children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff are wonderful, so caring and thoughtful they really helped him settle in and find his way. They do so many different activities which he
loves. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

As with any parent, you worry about making the right decision for your little one when they start nursery. After looking at quite a few in the area, on walking into Pear Tree and meeting the staff, it felt like the right place. My little one felt comfortable exploring straight away. My little girl loves
going to nursery here and runs in every day when we drop her off which reassures me that I chose the right place. The staff engage the children in lots of activities which has meant her speech and motor skills have and continue to develop. The staff are very supportive and keep you up to date. Thank you Pear Tree!

We feel so lucky to have found Pear Tree for both our sons to attend. The staff are amazing and show such warmth and care for the children, helping them feel so relaxed and content. They are dedicated to providing an exciting environment and fun activities inside and outdoors, with the child always
at the centre of everything they do. Our elder son had a wonderful time there and was well prepared for starting school and our younger son trots in happily and comes home chatting proudly about his ‘big school!’ after only a few weeks there. Thank you so much for helping him settle so well and gain such confidence in such a short time.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Pear Tree Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.966 for Pear Tree Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.966

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pear Tree Day Nursery is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
