The staff do so much for the kids here. The range of activities, the extra support for parents when you say there's a development need. The newly update expansive outdoor space. The range of healthy meal options. A happy bouncing child when they leave is all you can ask for.

Reply from Colette Walker, Manager at Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark

Thank you for this review. We are glad to hear you are happy with the service and space. A happy bouncing child is definitely a sign of a good day.

Our daughter has been in Owl Babies at Pear Tree Meadowpark since March and loves it here!
The staff are so attentive to her needs and come up with imaginative play ideas. She has developed so much in her time there.
She is due to move classes and they have been supportive in her transition to Fox
Cubs ensuring she moved when ready and at her pace.

Reply from Colette Walker, Manager at Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark

Thank you for this review. It is lovely to hear your child has developed while attending Pear Tree and we look forward to more adventures within the Fox Cub's room.

Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark owl babies are fabulous. Our wee one loves going. He has a great bond in particular with two staff members. They encourage him and celebrate his successes as we do! He eats well at nursery. Often with seconds. Loves playing with his friends and has grown so much since joining
a year ago! He loves going for walks. We love the manager! She's been there since my eldest was a baby! He's 13 now!

I am delighted with the attentive focus and care my child receives at nursery. Plenty of activities throughout the day indoor and outdoor play, the lunches always seem to be nutritious and filling but sometimes the dinner is more a snack.

Nursery staff at Meadowpark have been great with my son from the age of 12 months, and now approaching 3 years old. They always have his best interests at heart, and provide a range a range of learning opportunities for him. We recieve feedback on his development and learning outcomes, and we can see
the positive impact these opportunities have for him. He truly loves being at Meadowpark and hadn't had any problems moving up into older age groups with the support of the team. It's clear that all the staff from his room and the other rooms are familiar to him and he to them.

Meadowpark is a lovely bright setting with lots of new and engaging resources in both rooms my children are in, as well as in the garden. The staff are friendly and attentive. They take extra time to make you feel welcome as a parent and any worries are dealt with the utmost care. My son was having
a hard time in another childcare setting he attends but Pear Tree staff took time to listen and helped address the issues with my son during his time in Pear Tree which they didn't need to do, this was above and beyond. We also love the regular updates on the app so we know what the children have been up to each day.

We’re very pleased with the care our 1 year old is receiving. The staff are all very warm and welcoming, we receive meaningful updates about her day and progress, and most importantly she’s always really happy to go in! We know there are staffing challenges in the sector but on the whole, it’s been
pretty consistent for our little one, which has allowed her to build up good relationships. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

My grandchild is very happy and well supported and stimulated, to achieve his potential and to progress at an appropriate pace for his needs. I especially like that children with different abilities, personalities and needs are encouraged and motivated in all of the appropriate educational and developmental
milestones. The staff are very caring and very aware of safety both in and out of the nursery.

My granddaughter started with the nursery in March following relocation from England.
It was a daunting prospect changing nursery for her and her family but the nursery staff have been so caring and clearly understand her needs thus providing the care and attention she needs to help her transition
into her new nursery is as smoothly as possible, as well the nursery staff extend their support to her parents and granny.
I love the family app, so informative and reassuring, a great way to stimulate and encourage conversations with my granddaughter about her day.
Well done everyone.

We really value and enjoy our time at Meadowlark. Our son loves going in for his nursery days and I think this is down to the love and care of the staff at Meadowlark. They really spend time getting to know the children and know their likes etc. The resources and setting are also very good and around

My child has been attending the nursery for a few months now and she has been made to feel really welcome and settled in well. Her speech has come along since she started and I am confident she is learning new skills and being well looked after. I love seeing the daily updates and the individual observations
with photos that we receive.
Improvements are being made after feedback all the time.
I would recommend Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark to others.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.843 for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is calculated as follows: ( (407 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 Nursery Meadowpark is based on 40 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 40 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.
