Our two children are always happy to arrive at Little Pips and are always happy at the end of the day. They accommodate our children's needs and provide plenty of updates and feedback on their day. Their comms are excellent and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants a happy and caring
environment for their child to attend.

I have had both of my children attend this nursery and have always been impressed by the nursery’s consistent level of excellence in caring for and nurturing the children. They have both been very happy being at the nursery which makes us feel so much better about leaving them!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazing nursery, my son has been going for a couple of years and he loves all the workers and they love him, he has a speech delay and the nursery as a whole have done so much to help him with development plans, Senco, meetings on progress, helped and advised with late school entry so he
can stay in preschool for an extra year.
So glad he started here, I'll be sure to send the child I have growing at the moment there.
Reply from Claire Burgess, Director at Little Pips Nursery ChippenhamThank you for this lovely review. It is wonderful to hear how supported you feel your child has been and how reassured you are. Thank you for these lovely words.

The staff at Little Pips are amazing, and their commitment to the children in their care is inspiring. My two daughters love going there, and talk as much about 'the ladies' as they do their friends. I really cannot recommend Little Pips highly enough.

I have three children that attend and have attended Little Pips nursery so have been fortunate to watch the nursery progress! The Staff and their professionalism are second to none, my children love it.
Very imaginative games and excellent crafts. The preschool is fantastic for preparing the children
ready to start school. The Famly app is well managed and I love seeing what they get up to during the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl has been attending Little Pips for the last nine months. The best feedback I can give is from her reaction to the place. She has thrived in the hands of the staff there and we have seen a big leap in her development and confidence. The greatest compliment they can have is that she now
runs in at drop-off time without a backward glance.
The feedback we get from the staff is observant and thoughtful, we especially enjoy getting updates via the app with photos of what our little girl has been doing.
Reply from Claire Burgess, Director at Little Pips Nursery ChippenhamWhat a lovely review, thank you so much! The happiness of our children is the most important measure of our success so this is lovely to hear!

Our son has attended Little Pips since he was 9months he has settled in well thanks to the care and kindness of all the staff he is always happy to go to nursery.
Since starting he has grown in confidence and the nursery has been very accommodating to his dairy allergy not seeing it as an issue. He
has had lots of opportunities to take part in a wide range of well-thought-out activities. We are particularly impressed with the use of the app that keeps you up to date throughout the day and are pleased to see him growing up with little pips as part of his weekly experience. We would highly recommend this smaller caring nursery to others.

My son started out in the baby bunnies class and is currently in the toddler's happy hedgehog class. We have had the best experience with Little Pips. My son has been so happy there and has really flourished. Last year I had an unfortunate accident and was unable to take care of my son on my own for
six weeks. They were amazing in providing support and taking my son on extra days. In fact, the day I had my accident, another mother took my child home whilst I was at the hospital and the lovely ladies packed a bag for my son to take him. They have always gone above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

My son has attended this nursery for over a year now. The staff here are so lovely and my son really looks forward to attending nursery. He talks about the staff and other children out of the nursery, and is always happy! He can tell me all about his day and the activities he has done- I know a lot
of effort goes into these activities daily by all the ladies so thank you.
I can honestly say that I am 100% confident that my son is safe, and well looked after.

My son has been going to Little Pips since he was 7-months-old and to this day he is still enjoying it. The staff are fantastic and friendly. Over the last month at the end of each day, he’s been so excited to tell me about the chicks and caterpillars, I think it’s a brilliant experience for the children
to have and it’s brilliant the nursery does this.
Reply from Claire Burgess, Director at Little Pips Nursery ChippenhamWhat a lovely review thank you! It was really amazing to watch the chicks hatch and grow and to be able to release the butterflies once they had fully grown so it is so wonderful to hear that the children have talked about this at home too! Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.913 for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.913
  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 Little Pips Nursery Chippenham is based on 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
