This is a great nursery. My daughter has been going to this nursery for almost 2 years now and has loved it since day 1. All the staff are lovely and build such good bonds with the children, and they put so much into all the different activities they do for the children.

A great nursery - we sent our eldest son there 7 years ago and our youngest is there now. Their days are packed full of fun activities and naptime routines very much cater for their individual needs. Very supportive of parents decisions around starting potty training for example and do their best to
follow our wishes.

All 3 of my children attend Fixbees nursery and I have always felt extremely happy with the education and care they receive. The staff are very friendly and create close bonds with the children. My eldest is in preschool and she is thriving in her development. My youngest two are in the baby room and
are always happy and content at both drop off and pick up time. The activities they do are varied and fun and they have all developed friendships and life skills. I feel comfortable in knowing my children are safe and happy at this nursery.

Absolutely adore Fixbees and couldn't recommend more. The staff's dedication to the kids is unparalleled. My son has multiple allergies and the way they manage his allergies is outstanding. A particular member of staff goes above and beyond and you can tell all of the staff really love what they do.
Best nursery in my opinion!

It was my nieces first day at this nursery on Tuesday 22nd April. 9 months old. Unfortunately my niece suffered a burn whilst in the care of the baby staff. Utterly sickening quite disgraced at the fact no first aid was given nor was the parents notified of this serious incident. She was left in this
injury until her mum picked up to which she noticed this incident. She was dropped of at 8.30 and picked up at 5.30pm between those hours she had this incident and no one was informed. Extremely disgusted. No words to express how we all are feeling as a family.

Visited several places before this nursery and felt it was the right one almost immediately. The staff have been very friendly and supportive throughout our child's time at Fixbees. Plenty of opportunities to be creative and developed this will be a positive step before reception we feel our child will
be prepared for this next chapter thanks to the team. An excellent nursery would be easily recommended.

My son has just come to the end of his time at Fixbees and we've had a brilliant experience. He settled in quickly and has always been happy to go in every morning. The children do a huge range of activities and learn lots of different skills. The staff evidently care very much about the kids and form
great attachments. We are so sad to be leaving Fixbees behind but we feel confident sending our son to school knowing he's had the best start in preschool.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a father of twins and really struggled with finding a nursery, through speaking to and visiting many, Fixbees stood out by a mile, a lot of nurseries had a minimum threshold in terms of sessions and gave the sense of being all business-orientated whereas with Fixbees it felt like family from the
moment we came to visit to every day we drop our little ones off. I do not have enough nice words, all the staff are amazing from the staff that look after our little ones to the cook. I could not recommend this nursery enough and would not look elsewhere. They made a daunting experience into a pleasurable one. Their facilities are amazing with ample outdoor space and in brighter months they offer to take children outside of the nursery grounds. They respect all parent's wishes and accommodate as best as they can, they are truly all about the children which is exactly what we were after. They also have an amazing menu for breakfast, lunch, snacks etc and offer halal which was a huge positive.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Fixbees Private Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 15 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 4.734 for Fixbees Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.734
  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 Fixbees Private Day Nursery is based on 15 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
