Our daughter started at Peaches and Pears full time when she was one (she's now 2 and a half) and I've been delighted with the service they provide.

As it's run by a family, there's a lovely family atmosphere with children of all ages playing and learning together. The activities children get involved in are really interesting and creative and there's also regular outings to parks, woods, libraries, and play activities. The team are really committed to caring for the children and are always coming up with new ways to help them learn and develop. There's also a big emphasis on social skills.

Whenever I've had any issues at home that have affected her, they've been really happy to provide support, advice and to take actions in the setting that support what you're trying to do at home e.g. with tooth brushing or how to start potty training.

Our daughter has really thrived here and it's been wonderful to know that she's so well cared for and gets to take part in such a variety of interesting and fun activities. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Peaches and Pears to others.

Our son attended Peaches and Pears for a year, from age one to two. During that time he really got to bond with some of the carers there and enjoyed his time thoroughly, quite often he didn't want to leave at the end of the day!

It's a well run family business that provides well thought out activities to stimulate the children. The carers were always accommodating and flexible when required, and for that we're very grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend Peaches and Pears to local families requiring a safe and caring environment for their little ones.

Thank you for all your help, best wishes, Sam and Shazia.

Peaches and Pears provide a fantastic, warm family environment for the children they look after. My daughter loves going there and has benefited enormously from the attentive care and being around children of different ages.

They always do range of interesting, creative activities with the children and take them to local parks, libraries and playgroups. It’s great to get the daily diary outlining all activities, meals, sleep etc which is really useful.

They make healthy and varied home cooked meals and often do baking with the children which they love. Peaches and Pears are very proactive about teaching children manners and they focus on encouraging positive values. They provide detailed and comprehensive learning and development updates and take great care to keep children’s artwork and record their progress. They always have time to talk to you about your child and are interested in all aspects of their development.

Peaches and Pears are absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t be happier with them and are very happy to have found them. We always recommend them to friends.

We love Peaches and Pears. Without a doubt the best decision we made for our family was to put our first daughter with P+P. She has had a wonderful three years with them and we've now just added our twins as we are so delighted with the care and warm atmosphere.

The family work really well to ensure that the children are happy and developing, play is structured and progresses children well. Most importantly they are all really happy and enjoy the support they get from the whole family.

Our children really enjoy each day, come on really well and have developed manners I'm sure we didn't teach them. We love Peaches and Pears and can't thank them enough for being so great with/for our family. Our girls will remain P+P kids their whole lives! Thanks again. Ben

Brilliant familial atmosphere at Peaches and Pears - family of childminders provides cosy caring setting for babies and toddlers/preschool. Small mixed age group means that children learn from their peers and older children, like siblings do. Lots of creative, gently educative play, trips out etc. Proper varied and healthy homecooked hot meals - we couldn't ask for more. Our daughter adored her time at Peaches and Pears.

Peaches and Pears is a very special place , I feel so lucky to have found them.
My 2 children ( 2 and 4) have attended full time for over a year. I love that the kids get the love and attention of a family home with a nursery style environment.

It's great that they are together all day rather than in separate rooms and they speak fondly of the friends they have made there. A lot of time and effort goes into they activities and both children are thriving. They have made beautiful report books for each child with detailed feedback.

I have recommended Peaches and Pears to a friend whose child now also attends.

I have been using Peaches and Pears childminders for around three years and have been very happy with the care that they have provided for my two children. When we started with them they were looking after my pre schooler (3 1/2) and my youngest child (10 months) and they look after children of all ages brilliantly.

I loved receiving the detailed daily diaries when the children were little and later receiving the early years books full of photographs and drawings. Each day is different but Peaches and Pears make really good use of local facilities such as parks, libraries, gardens and children's centers. When they are at home they are always trying new creative activities in the garden or playroom and often come home with delicious home cooked treats that the children have made.

Peaches and Pears are very flexible and accommodating and handle school and nursery pick ups/drop offs very well. They communicate very well with parents and are always interested in everything that the children do outside of the childminder setting. As they can look after a larger number of children at one time than most childminders there is always a nice age range in the setting which helps them to mix well with other children and my children have both made great friends which has set them up nicely for when they move to school / nursery.

Thank you Peaches and Pears!

If you want reliable, flexible, caring, loving, friendly and trustworthy childcare provider then look no further! P&P are the best I have come across. My son joined them in 2011 and we couldn't be happier as we see him growing and flourishing with their dedicated care. He absolutely loves it there and sometimes I have to drag him home!

P&P family provides a home environment with many day trips to the local library, playgroups and parks, without the confinement of a nursery, which is what I was look for. They are also very suppotive and understanding when it comes to change, such as settling him back after a long break or with potty training.

I am always recommending P&P to all my local friends( two of them have already joined) as I couldn't wish for more in a childcare provider.

There is literally no negatives about this place. My daughter attended for a few years before we moved house and area and I, and my daughter, we're devestated to leave Peaches and Pears.

My daughter was extremely happy here and I was very confident that she was well cared for and educated by this lovely group of people.
I always found the carers informative, friendly and very well informed.

I loved that this place offered a combination of outings and a place at the home. I didn't want my daughter stuck in a room all day in a nursery. Here, she spent most mornings on day trips that included libraries, museums, play groups, local parks etc.

I always recommend Peaches and Pears to my local friends and, in fact, we found out about this place because it was recommended to us.

My daughter still talks about the carers and friends she made here.

My two children have been at Peaches and Pears part time since autumn 2011. We've been very pleased with their care, both when our son was there for full days before starting school and as an after-school pick up.

The Peaches and Pears family are very focused on providing good quality care to the children they look after and have also been very flexible when I've asked to change days etc. I've found them 100% reliable and responsive to changing needs.

We've been very pleased with the care that they offer and have recommended them to several other families, and would have no hesitation in doing the same in future.
