  • Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham, Cheltenham
Little Pips Nursery in Cheltenham is a family owned, 'home from home', private daycare nursery offering the highest quality of childcare to children aged 0-5 years old.

The inspirational learning environments including a large garden with huge sandpit, mud garden, two pirate ships, wooden playhouse, Wow shed, outdoor classroom, dedicated baby garden and much more, enable the children to explore and learn supported by a hard-working, dedicated team of ladies.

In the recent Ofsted report (June 2019) Little Pips Nursery was awarded GOOD with OUTSTANDING features.

The ladies closely support the children and record their development using electronic learning journals which enable parents to monitor children's fun adventures and progress. Parents have an app which helps to see the children's day at nursery as well as communicate with the staff easily.

Little Pips also run a 'graduate scheme' for the oldest Pips who are leaving for school in September. This scheme supports their transition through fun daily activities which develop their skills in phonics (reading), mark making (writing) and maths.

The dedicated cook provides freshly prepared, home-cooked food on a daily basis and children help to make a pudding once a week as well as growing vegetables.

A little note from highly satisfied parents. Thank you Little Pips team for the wonderful care you show to the kids. My son, when he joined the nursery, was not only new to the nursery, also the town. But from day one he was happy to go to nursery. Thank you and well done.

The staff and management are absolutely amazing at Little Pips. They show genuine care and interest in my child and his development and education.
Not always the most confident child, the staff managed to have him settled in no time to full-time nursery. If you are looking for a small and intimate
setting that feels like home for your child. I would recommend Little Pips.

After moving my daughter from another nursery which I was not happy with I have been more than impressed with Little Pips. The staff are very warm and caring with the children. The nursery and its toys are very clean and tidy, also they have a brilliant garden for the children. Overall Little Pips is
a great nursery that I would and have recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so lucky to have found this amazing nursery for our 2-year-old daughter. She started 6 months ago and her settling in was not easy but the dedicated staff help us through it. Now she is a thriving little girl who comes home with some new words every time and some artwork. The children can enjoy
the different designated areas in the garden and when the weather is nice they are taken for walks to the park. They even have a 'relaxing' room with a fish tank!

Review from Fiona M (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wouldn't send my daughter to any other nursery. I was always nervous about leaving her at only 6 months old but the nursery made me feel so at ease and made the whole process so easy. My daughter has now recently turned two and is a thriving young child. Her development has come on so much and some
of that is down to the lovely staff at Little Pips. They encourage all areas of development - my daughter could count to 10 before her 2nd birthday.


Their communication with parents is fantastic through daily handovers and learning journeys. They serve home-cooked meals which my child loves and she is fussy! They have been brilliant and adapting to my child's allergies as she cannot have banana or rice and this has not been a hassle for them at all. The staff genuinely love and care about every child that comes through the doors. I would recommend this nursery to anybody looking for one where you know your child is secure and loved.

My daughter has been at Little Pips for nearly a year and has settled in so well.
She is always excited when I drop her off and loves all the staff. The staff send home arts and crafts done at nursery and keep a scrapbook and it's lovely to see pictures and videos of what she has been doing on Learning
Book.
The friendly and welcoming setting is perfect for my daughter and I couldn't be happier with the way she has settled and bonded with the amazing team.

Childcare setting clean, comfortable and relaxed. Key workers friendly and approachable and my child speaks fondly of them all. Educational activities well structured, lots of learning through play. Very happy with the level of care and feel comfortable leaving my child in the nursery's custody.

Our son has been here for one year and loves every minute of being at nursery. Staff are amazing with the kids. They are lovely and helpful especially if our son needs to come for an extra day at the last minute.


Would definitely recommend - fantastic nursery!

Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham provides a wonderfully warm and caring environment for the children in their care. Their child-centred, gentle approach is wonderful and has been brilliant at supporting and reassuring our child. They are responsive and quick to deal with any worries or concerns.


The

garden area is huge and a real plus point - our child adores it. Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham graduate sessions are also to be highly commended. The work they do in preparing children for the move to school is second to none.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.217)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.217) out of 10 for Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.903 for Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.903
  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 4.314 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.714
  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.
