Pear Tree Nursery West Road have been working extremely hard to improve in every area after the decline in standards and the bad feedback they got after they were inspected. I cannot fault the care my son now receives and how wonderful the current staff are! The difference now from last year is like
night and day. My son generally loves going to nursery and has such a fun time and his social and learning skills have increased and improved so much. The staff in his room (and throughout the nursery) are amazing so happy and chatty and generally care a great deal about the children and their jobs. Couldn’t be happier!

Lovely staff and always very accommodating. My little one has taken a little while to settle but the staff have been so warm and loving. They have great activities and I have noticed a big change in development from my little one since starting.

Our son has attended this nursery since September 2022. In the last 7 months, we have seen a huge improvement in the nursery standards and our son loves attending nursery. He is thriving, building confidence and generally loving life at the nursery and this is all thanks to the amazing staff and loving
environment.

This year our daughter (2 years) has really enjoyed her time at Pear Tree Nursery. There has been a great deal of time and effort invested by all the staff, and their care and dedication is clear to see. We get daily updates and photos on what is happening with our child at the nursery with lots of
fun activities and learning opportunities each day. Weekly updates also inform us what is happening throughout the whole nursery. Our daughter has really enjoyed her nursery experience this year and we would recommend Pear Tree as a safe, fun and nurturing environment for others.

I have two children with the nursery (aged 1 and 3) and have been using the nursery for two years. The team have worked incredibly hard to turn around some challenges they were experiencing and we are really proud of what they have achieved in a short space of time. The team provide a stimulating and
nurturing environment for the children and our kids love the staff. There has been an increased focus in getting the children out in the community during the day for walks and picnics which they really enjoy. We get pictures and updates each day so that we can see what they have been learning and the fun they have been having!

Such a great idea to have a Lifeboat team visit to promote safety at sea. My grandchild took in a book about volcanoes. The nursery has highlighted this and is taking the subject forward. This not only develops knowledge with friends but makes my grandchild proud of his input.

The nursery has undeniably had its issues in the past year. However, the improvements the nursery has made in the past couple of months have been huge - from the investment in their staff to the materials and equipment they have for the children. My daughter loves going to Pear Tree Nursery West Road,
the updates we get daily are fantastic and it is clear from the planned activities in her room they are really focusing on child development.

My daughter absolutely loves being a part of Pear Tree Nursery. She’s excited to arrive in the morning and I can see from the photos that we get that she has a fantastic time during the day. She has also developed so many skills since she started in August and is now walking confidently. The staff are
so supportive and nurturing, it’s a wonderful environment.

The staff at Peartree are really caring and provide fun and engaging activities for the kids. My little girl loves going there and has an excellent relationship with all the Teachers. They have done a fantastic job with the kids in the past two years. They welcomed them back into the building with open
arms. They also helped to alleviate any concerns from parents about how lockdown affected the kids. My daughter loves the food there. The menu is excellent.

The Pear Tree staff went over and above for my son. They have also supported me through a very difficult time and provided support and met every need. I can't rate the team enough. The deputy manager took the time to call me and offer support and guidance many times. Many thanks to everyone.

Cannot fault Pear Tree Nursery West Road over the past 2.5 years! My daughter absolutely loves it here. I've seen her come on so much since she joined at 8 months old. Drop off she forgets to even say goodbye most of the time as she is too busy running in! And at pick up, she always leaves with a smile,
and sometimes doesn’t even want to leave! The food is good and varied. The staff are just fantastic and supportive, she adores them and is always excited to see them. They do lots of great activities indoors and outdoors and get good communication and updates through the app. Would highly recommend!

Before I found Pear Tree Nursery West Road my son was in another nursery. To keep it short, there were certain things that I as a parent wasn’t happy with. I was considering giving up my career to just care for my son as I couldn’t find a childminder and due to my bad experience with the other nursery,
I just assumed all the other nursery’s would be the same. Thankfully I found Pear Tree Nursery West Road. This nursery has completely changed my view. The staff are just amazing with my little boy. He is one handful to say the least but not once have they complained. I get constant updates about his day on the app which I appreciate, having that reassurance. I love how active the nursery is with them taking him out daily. I feel the staff listen to me and they are not afraid to speak up if they find your little one is struggling in a certain category and they go above and beyond to try and rectify this. This nursery is beyond all my expectations and I am truly grateful for all the staff.

A very positive, happy learning environment. Staff clearly interact well with the children and have fun with them.
The staff have tried their best to keep as much normality over the Covid restrictions as possible.

Hard working in difficult circumstances. Very adaptable to the regular governmental changes. The communications via their app are working well. My child rushes in forgetting to say goodbye which I reckon is a great sign!

The staff are all lovely and have a great relationship with all the kids. The nursery have been very

good activities, I would highly recommend Pear Tree Nursery West Road.

We've had nothing but a positive experience at Pear Tree Nursery West Road in the last year, despite Covid-19 and the challenges this has brought. My daughter loves going to nursery and comes home every day full of beans telling us about her day. The staff are amazing and communication is excellent.
We will be sad to leave to start school soon.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Pear Tree Nursery West Road 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.794 for Pear Tree Nursery West Road is calculated as follows: ( (448 Excellents x 5) + (89 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 549 Ratings = 4.794

  • 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 West Road is based on 46 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 46 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.
