My partner and I are so grateful to have found Peaches and Pears. Our son has been there for 2 years so far. He loves it there. He settled in very quickly and has formed close bonds with all P&P carers as well as the other children. He is excited to go in the mornings and comes home happy and tired (in a good way!) from a great day.

Peaches and Pears is a well-run family business. They follow a ‘Curiosity Approach,’ providing open-ended objects and toys and letting children's’ imaginations decide how to interact with them. They supplement this with stimulating and varied activities for the children, keeping things fresh and mixing indoor and outdoor play, as well as trips outside the grounds to local playgrounds, walks, stay and plays etc.

The team are warm and caring, and their enthusiasm for their work shines through everyday. They have created a homely and social environment for the children, and each carer gets to know every child as an individual, adjusting their approach to each little person’s needs. They are helpful and supportive to us as parents. They are parent-led, while offering great advice, inspiration and ideas when needed – always respectfully and never out of turn.

As a business, they handled the COVID-19 situation very well, adjusting routines as necessary. They took advantage of lockdown to revamp the covered back yard and garden, creating an amazing play space. Our son particularly loves the mud kitchen!

All in all, we highly recommend Peaches and Pears to local families looking for a safe, caring and stimulating environment for their children to thrive in.
