What The Parents Say

Can we have an Apples & Pears School/ University please?

The Shenton Family

Both my children have enjoyed being at A & P’s, the staff are friendly and professional, and I feel my children are learning whilst playing’

L. Booth

After moving Isabelle to Apples & Pears she has developed and become more confident. The girls are constantly creating activities which are mindful of both interactive and learning skills. I have no doubt that Isabelle will be school ready when the time comes, because of their positive enthusiasm towards learning. I look forward to Isabelle’s future milestones being met, whilst attending this wonderful nursery’

E. Rowley

Apples & Pears have been amazing in supporting our daughter with her speech. We looked at other nurseries before choosing Apples & Pears and didn’t find one in which the carers are more interested in and devoted to children

G Shannon

In the short time my son has attended, the staff have got to know him really well and his profile is a true reflection of where he is developmentally. Staff listen and take into account what he knows from parents feedback, in order to plan his next steps in learning. His confidence has grown tremendously. Practitioner Amy is extremely professional and very approachable. I cannot rate this nursery highly enough’

Mrs L McAree

“Moving my daughter to a new nursery was one of the biggest concerns around our decision to relocate from Manchester.  Having looked around many nurseries in the area, we were immediately drawn to Apples and Pears.  Suzanne gave us the tour of the nursery, introducing us to the team, not to mention the resident donkeys and sheep!  We loved the friendly approach. Suzanne knew all the children by name and each room was filled with such energy.  Our tour ended at the gorgeous sensory garden which sold it for us. Since then our daughter has thrived at Apples and Pears. We couldn’t be happier with our decision”

Fiona Gunning

‘I feel we made an excellent choice in picking Apples & Pears for Tilda. She is growing into a happy, confident and well mannered little girl and a huge part of that is thanks to ALL of your staff. I would not hesitate in recommending Apples & Pears to anyone. Thank you’

*New Nursery Building*

With increasing demand for the nursery, Apples & Pears have converted an existing cattle cubicle shed into a replacement nursery building, with part funding from European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

The new nursery building benefits from lovely views over the farmland and the design incorporates open plan flexibility and improved free flow between the outdoor play space and the nursery rooms, with increased capacity for 115 children.

The Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) is funded by Defra and the EU. The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD): Europe investing in rural areas
