My daughter has been going along to Pear Tree Nursery for a little over a year now and has grown in confidence so much in this time. She is always so excited to see her friends there and the staff too!
The staff are, without doubt, the kindest, most professional and caring group of people I could
hope for my little one to be looked after by. This was made so clear to me on our first visit to the nursery with my parents. My dad became extremely poorly and passed out. The staff ensured that an ambulance was on its way, that the room (thankfully the kiddos were out for a walk) was kept clear, my daughter was whisked away while I attended to my dad and their first aider looked after my dad like he was her own dad. She was so calm in the situation and knew exactly what to do and say. From that moment on, I knew that I would have no reservations whatsoever in having the staff at Pear Tree care for my child.
I absolutely cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Ever since my child started all she talks about is coming to Pear Tree. She doesn’t stop talking about it. She loves it and I’ve noticed she has come out of her shell a lot ever since she started. She gets to explore new things and even touch things she would touch at home. She would never touch mud
or put her hands in paint. She even learned to ride a bike in an hour without stabilisers. The food is also amazing as she has tried food that she wouldn’t even try at home.

Absolutely amazing!
My son has been with Pear Tree Nursery since October 2017 and the difference in him is incredible. The staff are very friendly, understanding and informed. They provide a welcoming atmosphere which eases the drop-off.
I had real anxiety about my son starting nursery as I was
a full-time mum and he had only ever been with me, however, I am so happy that he is at Pear Tree Nursery. From day one they eased my worries and made sure that I knew exactly what the plan for the day was. They have encouraged my son with trying new food which is something I struggled with. They have been great with toilet training and working with him on his social development.
I would recommend them to everyone without hesitation!

I have twins at this nursery and they have bloomed so much since starting. Their development is encouraged in a way that protects their individual natures which is wonderful. All of the staff are so helpful and passionate about their jobs. Picking my twins up at the end of a workday is always relaxing
because we all get to have a catch-up and talk about what the boys have been up to that day which I love.

This really is an exceptionally good nursery. The staff do absolutely everything they can for the kids, and their passion for helping them develop shines through every day. The range of activities is impressive, with children encouraged to make the most of their time every day. The approach to allowing
measured risks is refreshing and helps with the children's confidence no end I'm sure. The food is also excellent, and our daughter is always excited to tell us about her day. Our son starts this month, and I'm sure will love it just as much. Thanks to all the staff at PearTree!

Everything about this nursery is excellent. My grandchildren have come on in leaps and bounds and have plenty of confidence since joining with all the activities the staff encourage them to try and succeed at. The food is very nutritious, tasty and appealing and the children love it. The staff are first
class and totally comitted to the children in everything they do with them. The outside play area is very safe and full of equipment for the children and they thoroughly enjoy it and get plenty of fresh air. The staff take the children to the park for different activities which again opens their outlook to what they can do which is good for them. This nursery is safe, comfortable and homely and the staff make it that way.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) 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 4.839 for Pear Tree Nursery Meadowpark is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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.
