Our child started in the nursery in early February, and we couldn’t be happier. The care and support she has received so far have been outstanding. The staff are very welcoming and supportive. My child has settled in very quickly and looks forward to going to nursery.

The staff are what makes Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark so amazing! Our daughter is in the baby room and loves going, she gets so excited to see who’s coming down the stairs to take her inside. The staff are so loving and patient towards the children, you can tell they actually care about the children
which makes you feel at ease leaving them. The nursery do a great range of activities with the children and are always doing something fun and different. Definitely recommend to anyone!

Since our daughter joined Peartree Meadowpark her confidence has grown. The staff have been an amazing support in helping her settle into a new environment after we moved house to a completely new area. She has fun whilst learning new things and enjoys the variety of activities the nursery offers. The
regular updates received from the app are really useful and the nursery manager and wider team are always available to answer any questions.

Both my children attend/have attended Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark for the past 3 years and am incredibly happy with the care they both receive. The staff are kind, fun and supportive and they put a lot of hard work and thought into caring for the children. The play and education they receive are excellent.
I can and have thoroughly recommended them.

My daughter is in the baby room at the Pear Tree and she loves it! The staff are kind, caring, fun and they all work unbelievably hard! Dropping her off smiling with her arms out to the same staff every day is the best thing, it is the staff that make the nursery, they are a great team! All so different
and great in their own way. Every single staff member knows my daughter so well and I never worry about her when she’s there. Thank you Pear Tree Meadowpark!

Both my children started in this nursery after leaving another one. My youngest in particular struggled with the adjustment and drop offs were really hard. I felt so confident that the staff would be able to manage his emotions and consider his age and stage, what he needed rather and following his
lead. Now he is taking his jacket off before we even get in the door to run in and see his friends and all the fun things set out. Lovely professional staff.

Our son attends Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark and has done since we moved to the area last summer. He is very settled and happy and he loves the outdoor space! Staff are engaged, caring and friendly and recent investment in resources has brought fresh excitement to the indoor area. Meals are nutritious
and balanced - our son nearly always wants more - and the kids love getting out and about to explore when weather permits.

We are delighted with Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark. The staff's genuine care is clear to see. They are enthusiastic, responsive and communicative. The app is updated regularly meaning we can check how our daughter is getting on in the day. This was especially reassuring when she first started nursery.
The activities are engaging and creative. The food is varied and looks delicious. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Meadowpark and we feel grateful we chose this nursery.

My daughter attended Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark and now my son does, they both love/d the nursery. Staff are very attentive and I love the bonds they have formed with my children. I have had experience of a child being at each stage/room and all have great space and facilities; the outdoor areas for
both upstairs and downstairs are great. Management are understanding with any needs/requests I have and ensure communication is passed down to staff, you can tell they all really care about your child. The nursery has recently got a new provider for meals; so far my son is enjoying everything, and we all enjoyed the meals on the tasting sessions.

Our son has been attending Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark for 8 months or so now. It took him a while to settle (through no fault of the nursery!) and the staff were so patient with him/us and worked with us suggesting loads of different ideas to help us get there. He loves going to nursery now! The staff
are absolutely fantastic and so nurturing towards the children. It's a lovely setting, they are always up to lots of fun activities and we feel that our son has come on leaps and bounds since being there. I would have no hesitations recommending Meadowpark to anyone!

I have two children at Pear Tree Meadowpark - one in Owl babies and the other in Eagle Explorers. They both absolutely thrive on a daily basis. Experiencing sensory activities, reading, singing, team work and outdoor play. They are continually stretched in their thinking and learning. The nursery allows
them to develop their own individuality nurturing each child’s interests. The staff are really supportive and communicative around our children. They are a massive support network for us having no family nearby. The food variety is exceptional!

Excellent nursery- amazing staff especially over the last two years of the pandemic where they have worked tirelessly to give the children a sense of “normal”. Caring environment. Always amazed at the different activities planned each day, and the amount of educational learning they introduce through
play. Great outdoor space and I’m pleased they get them outside in all weathers. Both my children have thrived here.

I have been using Pear Tree for childcare for 4 years and currently have two children there. The staff are fabulous with my girls and really care about the children. I’ve felt they’ve been great through Covid in measures to keep everyone safe. They do a big variety of activities with the children, and
my girls have really benefited from going to nursery. The girls love it and never want to go home either!

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.
