Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) is located on Peartree Avenue, between Bitterne and Woolston.

It is a new, purpose built day nursery with gardens backing onto woodland. Children can access the garden from each of the rooms, enabling them to have free flow in their play.

Children can also use the large scale resources in the garden which include a sinking pirate ship, a mud kitchen, a giant sand pit, barn and tracks and a petrol pump for bikes and trikes.

The nursery offers children a nutritious four-week menu with fresh fruit and vegetables and no added salt or colourings. A high proportion of the produce is organic and all special dietary needs are catered for.

My daughter has only been attending nursery for a few days but all of the staff at Peartree have been friendly, professional, accommodating and caring. I especially like the app which is very informative and saves me bothering my daughter's key person with too many questions!

Reply from Cheryl Morgan-Sagar, Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you have been welcomed by the team and that you are happy with your nursery choice. We will continue to strive to exceed your expectations. The app is a great tool to communicate important information through but please do not feel that you cannot ask questions either face to face, via phone or email. We can always plan a time to catch up with you.

Words cannot express how happy and grateful I am to my son's key workers and everyone else who looked after my little boy. My son has eczema and they ensure that his cream is applied regularly. The app the nursery uses is amazing, his keyworker is great and she sends loads of pictures home of his busy
day. Can’t thank you all enough for looking after my son so well.

Reply from Alison Murray, Area Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Thank you so much for your review. I am pleased that the key person keeps you informed and meets your child's medical needs. The app helps with our communication and daily updates, including photos.

My son and daughter are both at Woodberry and have been for almost a year now. We moved from another local nursery which was good but I have to say Woodberry has exceeded all my expectations. My kids are always happy to go and love the staff. The manager is always flexible and has helped me with dietary
requirements, change of days etc. The thing which impresses me most about the nursery is that staff go above and beyond to create opportunities for learning and development and really put the children at the centre of everything they do. The food is also really thought through and full of goodness. They are always asking for feedback, input from the children, and ways to improve. We are so happy we chose Woodberry.

Reply from Alison Murray, Area Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased that your family really enjoy Woodberry. The staff strive to make sure all children's individual needs are met including dietary. I'm glad you witness this in our staff.

I found the nursery to be very cold and unhelpful when flexibility was needed. The management of the nursery is very poor, the focus is clearly monetary driven and not education. Child development reports are always late and therefore had very little relevance at the time of publishing.

Reply from Cheryl Morgan-Sagar, Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Our team are disappointed to read your review of our nursery. We strive to offer as much flexibility as possible but we can only add extra sessions/change schedules when we have availability. To protect our families, we also cannot admit children who are unwell with COVID symptoms - though we know this can sometimes cause inconvenience to some, it is for the benefit of the greater community. With regards to there being a slight delay prior to the publishing of some observations, this is a result of our team prioritising the well-being and care of children over paperwork - something we are not willing to compromise on. Education is of paramount importance to us, as already highlighted, the team are focused on the children's nursery experience, ensuring that they are receiving high-quality interactions and care. We have been offering zoom meetings/phone calls to parents who wish to discuss their child’s development. If any of these queries/concerns had been raised we could have addressed them.

We have nothing but praise for the staff at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd. Our son joined later than originally planned due to Covid restrictions. We were worried about him settling in and being surrounded by children (having spent much of his life in lockdown due to us shielding). We needn't
have worried. We were offered settling-in sessions and a named key worker to liaise with. Our son adores the staff (and the delicious-sounding food!). He has the best time there and we love getting the regular photos and updates about the activities that take place.

Reply from Cheryl Morgan-Sagar, Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Hi, thank you so much for this excellent feedback. I have passed this on to your son's key worker, room leader and team. It was greatly received! It is great to hear that the settling in process worked well for you as a family, we strive to work closely in partnership with our parents/carers. I am proud to hear that this is recognised by yourself, we will continue to offer the best care and partnership working we can. Thanks.

My little boy is due to start full days for four days a week next week. Being a lock down baby he has had to have a few extra settling in sessions. I cannot be more thankful for how amazing the team have been helping him to settle in. The deputy manager has not only put my mind at rest but some how
managed to win over my little one, who hasn’t seen anyone other than myself, partner and nanny throughout lockdown. I knew I’d made the right choice choosing here.

Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for this lovely feedback, I have passed it onto the team. I am pleased to hear that you feel comfortable and happy with the settling process. I know that his Key Person has been excited to share the next stage of his adventure with you.

Since my daughter has been going to Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) we have seen a huge improvement in her learning, walking and especially her speech. She has come on leaps and bounds. In regards to the nursery itself; staff are wonderful, always providing relevant and important information and the
nursery is overall 10/10 - highly recommended.

Our children are very well looked after at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd and clearly love their time at school. Their key workers in particular have been wonderful, our older child has had five different in his time so far and each has been as caring and thorough as the last. The outdoor space
is brilliant! Who does not love a pirate ship! Yes, a pirate ship! The staff are very supportive with advice and help regarding toilet training. The food is far better than my lunch! The staff up to and including the deputy manager are one and all excellent. Unfortunately, the setting manager has changed three times while we have been there and the last two were not helpful. However, the current manager seems to be such an improvement and has worked with us with great professionalism in dealing with dietary requirements. Hopefully, overall management has turned a corner. ‘Likely’ to refer because overall brilliant care of children but communication of management could be vastly improved.

Reply from Cheryl Morgan-Sagar, Manager at Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The key person approach is extremely important to us so I am pleased to see that you have highlighted this as a strength of our setting. Thank you for your comments on our menu, we strive to provide all of our children with healthy nutritious meals using our Early Years Nutrition Partnership. I am pleased to read that you have seen improvements in the current management of the setting. I will be in contact shortly to discuss anything else I can do to support your family.

My two-year-old son loves going to Woodberry Day Nursery. All staff are so passionate in what they do and they have always made sure that my son is happy when he goes. He has such a lovely bond with his key worker. We started during the Covid-19 restrictions and we were worried that it would take him
a while to settle because he was at home for such a long time but when he started, the staff worked amazingly well to make him feel comfortable and happy. The detail they go into and the child observations are just excellent and it is so nice to read. They use an app where you can see what your child has been up to during the day and it is so nice to be able to talk to your child about it and show them photos after you collect them. My son has learnt so much since he started attending back in September 2020. The facilities are also top-notch, really spacious indoors and the best garden and play area. It is so nice to see my son coming out at the end of his session with a big smile on his face.

I feel my child is safe going there in these challenging times. The staff are great and my child always has the best time with them.

Our son has been at Woodberry nursery for three years. The interaction with the children from nursery to preschool has been superb. Learning is interactive and fun and our son looks forward to going to Woodberry every day. Children are taught to be kind, caring and helpful.
Handovers are clear and
we receive regular updates via the Family app. Helpful, understanding staff make it a relaxed, fun nursery and preschool.

Choosing a nursery is a big decision and one that you won’t know is right until you’ve done it. I’m very pleased that we choose Woodberry, Peartree. The staff are friendly and informative, our child is educated and entertained and most of all, he’s happy. They have lots of activities and the app they
use to keep us informed of what he does is good. It’s nice to see what he’s been up to.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.447)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.447) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.771 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.771

  • 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 4.676 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Peartree) Ltd is based on 10 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.676

  • 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.
