Fantastic nursery and fantastic team. My daughter has been at Pixieland Mannamead for about a year and a half. She amazes me every day with what she learns. She has made friends and loves to be there. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The team are very accommodating and have a real genuine interest in each
and every child.

I could not recommend this nursery enough! My daughter (3) has been going since she was 8 months old and we have never had any problems! The staff are so kind and caring and my daughter has formed some wonderful bonds with members of staff. The communication between staff and parents is fab, I always
know what my daughter has been up to, what she has eaten etc. Now that my daughter is old enough to give me her own account of the day she comes home and tells me about all the fun she has had, who she has played with and what she has learnt. She is such a bright, polite, caring little girl and the staff at Pixieland have a lot of credit to take for this. I don't know what I would do without them!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Pixieland since he was 1 and a half years old and really enjoys it. The staff are very friendly and caring and the facilities are great, my son especially likes the jungle gym and playing outside. My son is now 2 and has progressed on to the toddler room, this progression was
done very sympathetically as he had lots of settling in sessions and seemed content to move up when he finally did. I do feel that maybe more interaction with the parents would help for example the previous nursery where my older son went put on Xmas play/Easter bonnet parades and other events that the parents were always invited to if they could make it, this has yet to happen at Pixieland yet although maybe it is something that we happened to miss. Overall it is an excellent nursery and I am very happy to take my son there.

My granddaughter has been attending Pixieland Mannamead since she was a baby and now she is in preschool. She has learnt so many things in that time and her speech is amazing. In her time there so far she has learnt to count, say the alphabet, sing, interact with other children. The amazing staff helped
her to toilet train which she took to very quickly. As I pick her up from nursery every day I am told how her day has gone and what things she has been doing. I cannot fault the staff at all. They are all so helpful, happy and I know they all put the children first. I am so glad my granddaughter attends here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Pixieland for the past 6 months. From the moment we started, the nursery staff have been incredibly supportive, accommodating, friendly and helpful and have made the return to work after maternity leave a much less stressful experience.


My son has learnt so many new skills since

starting nursery and his social skills are amazing for a 16 month-year-old as a result. We get daily updates on what he has done and it's lovely to see all the activities that he does that we don't have the resources, space or time to do with him, like painting and messy play. He enjoys the sensory room and jungle gym and it's brilliant knowing that in a day at nursery he isn't just stuck in one room but has lots of things to do and explore.
I can't fault the nursery or its staff and we are so pleased that we chose to send our son to Pixieland.

Review from Scott (Father of Child) published on 19 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended the preschool at Mannamead before leaving to go to school. Every day, he would ask if it was a nursery school day and often talk about the staff he wanted to go and see. When being dropped off by me or his nan the staff always made him feel welcome and took the time to settle him fully
ready for the day. They helped him so much with toilet training and I can't thank them enough for that. He became extremely self-confident and outgoing whilst attending Pixieland.


I now use the holiday club for my son and my daughter and they provide great activities for the older children during these times. My daughter who is 6 always looks forward to going to nursery to help look after the little preschool children as she says.

My son attends this nursery, I am highly satisfied with the service we receive. I have been to look at other nurseries and the quality and cleanliness of their facilities do not compare to others. I also find the nursery is very cosy and not overwhelming for little ones.

My daughter has attended Pixieland the past year and a half and she couldn’t be happier. Always keen to get into pre-school in the morning and always a cheery, rosey cheeked face when I pick her up so I know she’s had a fun, active day.
We get lots of artwork home and regular updates on the EY Log
so I’m kept informed about what she’s doing.
Overall, we feel safe and happy leaving our daughter with Pixieland and are pleased we made the decision to choose this nursery.

Pixieland have been amazing with my daughter. They have been incredibly understanding and flexible with us when I was hospitalised previously and flexible with our shift work. Our daughter loves going and always has a good time whilst she’s there. She comes home tired from all the fun activities she’s
been doing and they are helping her develop extremely well. I couldn’t speak highly enough of Pixieland and the staff.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery and the staff. For my husband and myself we love the flexibility of the opening hours as it is perfect for the timings we need.
The staff have always been lovely and welcoming and very caring when sometimes my son doesn't quite want to be left by myself or his
dad.

I viewed lots of local nursery schools when looking for a childcare provider for my little boy and Pixieland shone well above the rest. The staff are very friendly, helpful and trustworthy and the nursery itself is inviting and welcoming. My little boy is currently in the toddler room and the staff
who look after him are really lovely, he comes home each day telling me about the things that he has taken part in and I can tell that he’s had a lovely time. I am a primary school teacher myself and cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

My daughter has lots of fun here. All the staff are nice and easy to approach. If I have any problems, either minor or serious, it gets dealt with straight away. The nursery has lots of educational things to do as well as enough toys for lots of play. They have a good outdoor space and a fantastic sensory

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.
