Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

My 17-month-old daughter has such a wonderful time at Little Pips. The staff in the baby room look after her really well and have observed and understood her personality right from her first day there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My son loves going to Little Pips Nursery. He runs in to look for his friends. He is well supported by staff to meet his emotional and educational needs. All staff have time to discuss my concerns about my son's development or queries. His development is reviewed weekly and I love the opportunity to
see his development improve. Well done to all at Little Pips for the outstanding care you provide.

I would highly recommend Little Pips. My two year old has been attending two days a week from ten months old and my eight year old also attended for five years. The staff are very caring, thoughtful and form special relationships with the children. They do a massive variation of play, both indoors and
outdoors. Both my children loved the outdoor play.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was extremely anxious having my son start nursery as we co-slept and I had been his full-time carer for 13 months. However, since starting Little Pips he is thriving more than ever before. He sleeps in his own bed now. Cries when he leaves the nursery and runs to the door in the morning. Its a joy
to see him becoming so independent and I can't thank Little Pips enough.

Little Pips is a lovely nursery and my daughter loves her days spent with the staff and her friends and I feel totally at ease leaving her there.
There is a lot of effort put into making special celebrations memorable.
Christmas is a particularly lovely time of year at Little Pips.
I would not hesitate
to recommend Little Pips to others.

My little boy loves Little Pips and all the staff.
As a parent, it's reassuring to know my son is well looked after and enjoys each and every day.
The staff were particularly supportive when he had a milk tolerance and worked with me to come up with alternatives.
The regular feedback is great and
has ensured my son has quickly developed in all areas of his learning.
Can't thank the nursery enough for the brilliant job they do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves going to nursery. I feel they have helped so much with her speech and learning in general, which is very important for children to set up ready for school. Also emotionally ready which I believe the nursery has had a good impact.
They have a great variety of activities as well as making
sure they have lots of outdoor play.
The staff are all approachable and make you feel you can ask them anything.
Meals are also varied and home cooked which is another excellent factor, my daughter eats better there than she does at home!

This nursery takes safeguarding very seriously. I work in education myself so I have an understanding of the requirements.
My child has progressed so much since starting and she loves the food and activities.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My daughter has been at Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham since she was a baby. She is always very happy and content to go there and on the rare occasions she's not so happy I'm confident to leave her in the capable hands of the ladies who are very good at what they do.
They are kind and supportive to
parents and very thoughtful. They encourage and help whenever they can. I will never forget how upset I was to have missed my daughter first steps but when I picked her up they set it up so she would walk to me. It's the little things they do that make leaving her easier to bear.

I wanted my child to come to this nursery through lots of recommendations. When I initially visited I noticed two things that were so important to me, approachable, friendly staff and happy children! The nursery also felt safe, which made me feel comfortable leaving my, at the time, 9 month old there!
My daughter is now and she always has the best time at nursery and is lucky to be able to go twice a week. Since going to nursery she's come on leaps and bounds with her speech and her socialising skills, which I put down to the lovely members of staff who put all their time and energy into the children and the fun activities they do. I always look forward to homemade pictures that my daughter makes. Overall the staff are great and so is the nursery and I would recommend to everyone.

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.
