Very pleased with everything the Little Pips staff has done for my son, he always has fun and never fails to tell me what new things he has learned. I can never get him to do anything at home so I am very pleased.

My son started coming to Little Pips Nursery Chippenham in December 2020. The staff are nothing but wonderful, everyone’s so friendly and welcoming and I feel totally at ease leaving my little one with them, knowing he’s going to have a day full of fun activities that are brilliantly planned to aid
his development. Honestly couldn’t ask for more from a nursery!

My boy has been going to this nursery the past two years and he loves it. The staff are friendly, hardworking, so supportive and hands on. My child's learning just improves day by day and every day he is at nursery I get updates throughout the day on progress, food and learning, which I love reading
throughout the day when I can't be with him. Can't recommend the team enough with the learning and care they provide.

I can’t speak highly enough of the amazing staff and facilities at Little Pips Nursery Chippenham! Our daughter is excelling in all areas. We are regularly kept up to date via the app with photos and videos of the activities of the day, as well as what our daughter has to eat and when she has used the
toilet. During the current pandemic, they have been brilliant at putting the relevant health and safety processes in place to keep everyone safe. We love Little Pips Nursery Chippenham and are so glad that our daughter is there.
Reply from Claire Burgess, Executive Manager at Little Pips Nursery ChippenhamThank you so much for your lovely review! We are so pleased that you have felt supported especially over the last year. Thank you.

We absolutely love Little Pips Nursery Chippenham. Our daughter has been going from ten months old and it’s like a home away from home for her. The staff are very friendly, attentive and make time for any questions or queries from parents. An amazing range of indoor and outdoor activities and fantastic
meal options.

My daughter absolutely loves Little Pips Nursery Chippenham, if she could go seven days a week she would. The staff are all really friendly and there is so much for the kids to do each day. The meals are all really good too. I would highly recommend the nursery one hundred percent.

Great nursery! I was a nursery worker for seven years so you can imagine my hesitation when enrolling my children at a setting and during a pandemic. The staff have been amazing, especially with my son who is on the pathway to ASD. The toddler room leader and the special educational needs coordinator
have been fantastic with helping my son get the help he needs while at nursery! All the staff have welcomed and settled my children in beautifully and I couldn't be more thankful.

We have had a very positive experience of Little Pips Nursery with both our daughters. We are pleased with the progress our children have made and the care given by staff.
The new online system has been very beneficial for keeping us up to date with activities our daughter has been involved in. Our
daughter is thriving here and is always happy to come to nursery.

I would just like to say how happy I am with this nursery. My little boy only goes 1 day a week and drop off in the morning can be quite hard but the staff there are brilliant. They have helped me with ideas to make things easier and on occasion, this has worked. Drop off is tomorrow so fingers crossed
all will go well again. Stickers at the ready. Also, I know he loves it there because he comes home so happy. Thank you Little Pips Nursery staff.

Little Pips Nursery is absolutely amazing. I searched high and low for a nursery and straight away I loved Little Pips Nursery.
Frequent updates and messages of what my sons doing through the day puts me at ease. I absolutely love the photos they upload of activities.
My son loves it, and so do
we!

Lovely nursery. We have used Little Pips for approaching 3 years and have seen our son flourish here. A fantastic group of people work here who really care about the children. I really like the new app and getting updates throughout the day on his activities. The development of the nursery facilities
has been great to see. The outdoor areas are a special favourite. We have booked a place here for our second child to start soon.

Everyone that works at the nursery is absolutely lovely. They are always happy and me and my daughter receive a warm welcome every morning. My daughter has gained so much confidence and is progressing really well. I love the updates I get on the mobile app and the progress tracking is brilliant. I always
like to see what the children are getting up to. As we use the family app, we don't need to get letters and the handover is much better as it's all online. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Lovely parents evening. Very informal and lovely to see my daughters artwork and things that she has been doing whilst she is at nursery. All the staff were very nice and welcoming. They clearly all love their job and are passionate about looking after children. It was lovely to hear such positive feedback
about my daughter and that they have built a good relationship with her.

I can't speak highly enough of Little Pips. Everybody is so friendly, caring and professional. All of the children are well looked after, properly fed and amused with a constant variety of creative activities to engage with. My son went to a different Ofsted outstanding nursery prior to Little Pips,
but Little Pips has far surpassed their standards whilst remaining friendly and approachable. 10/10.

After our daughter was told she wasn't doing well in another nursery, we moved her to Little Pips. Only 10 weeks later, she is loving her time there. She is settling well. The activities are engaging and exciting and the level of attention to detail regarding our daughter's development is confidence-inspiring.
The staff are always so positive and welcoming. Couldn't be happier and would highly recommend!

This is a lovely nursery with excellent staff. They took care of my oldest son, who has additional needs, brilliantly, and he was always included. Their input was a major factor in him being ready to attend a mainstream school. My younger son, who doesn't have these needs, currently attends and absolutely
loves it. He looks forward to going and is keen to tell me all about the exciting things he's done. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.948 for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.948
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham 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 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 = 3.9
    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 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.
