My daughter has come on leaps and bounds from attending here! At 18 months can say please and thank you using Makaton. It is one of the best nurseries my 3 children have attended. The staff are amazing and very accommodating.

Our eighteen month old boy joined in September, the first few sessions were hesitant however by the fourth, he was running in without goodbyes! The staff are so welcoming, encouraging and friendly. It feels like everyone really knows him and knows his name. The daily sessions are varied, creative and
engaging. The communication is excellent with regards to his daily diary as well as all other matters. I would definitely recommend!

The best nursery in Plymouth. The staff are all so wonderful and attentive to my daughter. She has been at Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead since September 2020 and has come on leaps and bound since. Her speech has improved dramatically and the staff are so encouraging! The daily diaries are a Godsend.
It’s great to see what the children have been up to that day and what they’ve had to eat. The photos and videos are lovely, it’s so nice to get a glimpse of what my daughter does and how she interacts with the other children and staff. All in all, I can’t fault this nursery, it is just fantastic and sending my daughter here was the best decision I have made.

Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is the best day nursery in Plymouth. My son is thriving. He has made friends and his confidence builds day by day. All members of staff are friendly, helpful, kind and caring. Nothing is ever too much for the manager and her team and this has been even more apparent
during the current pandemic. Thank goodness for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead, enabling a much needed happy environment for my son during these uncertain times.

From day one with my children, the staff were phenomenal. My children know everyone’s names and talk so fondly of them. Their learning has been incredible to watch and they come home from every session beaming! There’s never a dull day and the communication between staff and parents is top notch. Can’t
recommend them more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy was at a different nursery setting where he was very unhappy and wasn’t thriving the way he should have been, and had been referred to speech and language also.
We decided to pull him from there and found him a place at Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead! Since then, he has been happier
not only in nursery but at home, looks forward to going to nursery and has recently been signed off from speech and language having only been there since January. The staff are absolutely amazing here, nothing is too much and they give the children such amazing support, but also the parents too. I am so happy that my little boy is thriving at Pixieland Day Nursery and will most definitely be placing my youngest in there when he’s ready!


Thank you so much to the whole team at Pixieland Day Nursery for making such a massively positive impact on my boy!

Dropping my 6month old baby off ... like any mother I was nervous, but my son enjoys every moment at nursery.
I feel so relaxed leaving my son there as they meet all his needs.

My little boy was 10 months when he started nursery. I was extremely anxious as we've had a negative experience in another nursery. However, my little one loved it from day one! :) I didn't feel guilty for leaving him there as I knew he was happy and having a lot of fun, and most importantly I knew
he was safe. the staff in the baby room are absolutely amazing. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Our son has been going Pixieland on Mannamead Rd for the last six months. Except for the first two weeks of getting used to being away from home, he has loved every single day at the nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make the nursery experience an enjoyable one and my son is so excited whenever
he sees any of the staff. Everybody is very approachable and happy to help whenever necessary. I cannot rate my experience with Pixieland highly enough.

My daughter joined the nursery for one day a week when she was 6 months old. I was returning to work and worried about leaving her but the staff were absolutely superb. Her language and social skills are coming on amazingly and she is always happy when I tell her it’s time to go see the other children
at nursery. My staff are always helpful and answer my questions quickly, whilst showing genuine care. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending Pixieland since Sept 2019 when she was 10 months old. She attends twice a week and has an early start on both days. My daughter is always greeted with such warm, welcoming smiles and she is always happy when I leave her. It is so comforting to know how attentive the staff
are to her needs. Makes leaving my daughter and going to work that bit easier!

My son has been attending Pixieland Mannamead since he was 2.5 years old. It is not the closest nursery to us and it takes us around 30 minutes to walk there. We have a different nursery in front of our house. I have seen quite a few nurseries when choosing the one I would like but after seeing Pixieland,
I looked no further.
The nursery manager is absolutely lovely and always does her best to help, whether it is something to do with an invoice or trying to book an extra session last minute. All of the girls working there are incredible. Our key worker is very professional but also super friendly and great to have a chat to. So are all the other girls. My son loves them and has made lots of friends and is absolutely thriving at Pixieland. Any issues or questions can always be discussed with the girls at nursery and they go above and beyond to help with any problems or worries you have about your child. We will be very sorry to leave when school starts!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 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 Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
