My child loves going to Pitter Patter and is always excited to see his little friends and the wonderful staff.
The team are brilliant - caring, attentive, and incredibly friendly. They always make us feel so welcome, and I truly feel like I'm leaving him with family, which gives me so much peace of
mind.
Another huge bonus is the fantastic variety of nutritious food he gets every day.
Thank you so much for everything you do - we really appreciate you all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my kids have attended Pitter Patter and have always gone in and come out happy.
The nursery has always eased my concerns if I feel my children may be feeling a little shy or quiet on attending by sending me messages and photos to ensure all is ok.
I love the daily updates with what they get up
to and also seeing what they have eaten that day. I feel fully informed about their day.
The staff are all lovely and friendly. It was a nice touch the nursery threw a Christmas party for the little ones and the staff worked even later in their day to enjoy the party with the little ones and their families.
This nursery has been great for us and everyone there works really hard but still has a smile on their faces.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you for recognising how hard our fantastic team work - they are so committed to what they do wanting to make everything the very best they can for the children in their care at Pitter Patter.
Thank you also for writing such a lovely review - we are incredibly grateful.

I've used Pitter Patter as my childcare providers for several years, for both my children. The staff have always been super friendly and welcoming. My son who's currently at pitter patter loves it. I enjoy receiving updates/ photos of the activities he does each day. He has a few allergies, pitter patter

Pitter Patter Nursery have always gone above and beyond for our child who has been attending the nursery since he was 1 years old. They have made his transition into nursery, as well as his progression into the older room, seamless.
The communication between the nursery and parents is exceptional
and we are always kept up to date with progress our child has made through the app. All staff members are extremely friendly and provide a welcoming environment. Our child's key worker regularly updates us with observations and fun and educational activities.
We cannot stress enough how much our child loves attending the nursery each and every day. He always mentions how much fun he has with staff members and peers.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThis is such a heartwarming review - thank you for taking the time to compose such kind & thoughtful words.

My daughter has attended Pitter Patter for the last year, she has a wonderful bond with the nursery staff. She always gets excited when she sees them at the end of school, and always tries to walk back to nursery with them on the days I collect her!
Communication is always good as if there ever any

My daughter loves all the girls that looks after her in Shining stars- they are always willing to do her hair which makes her day!
I love the varied food she gets whilst at Pitter Patter and the app allows me to see how much she eats and what she's having.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a really good experience with this nursery. My son took a little while to settle in, but the staff were consistently welcoming and patient, and although he's better now, he still has the odd day of tears but he's always welcomed with a nice big cuddle. They clearly care about the children
and create a warm, supportive environment.


The educational side is excellent. The activities are well thought out, and my son comes home having learned something new most days. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always happy to share updates.


I also really appreciated the management team when my son turned three and was eligible for funded hours. I found the process quite confusing, and when I messaged the nursery for advice, they took the time to call me and explain everything clearly. It made the whole process much easier to understand.


Overall, it's been a very positive experience, and I'm pleased with the care and learning my son receives there.

Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThat is so lovely to hear, thank you - as busy parents we always hope to support your family in any way we can and make things a little easier if we possibly can. We're delighted to hear that your experience has overall been positive, this makes us incredibly happy.

Wow. What can I say? My youngest has been going since he was 1, and he absolutely loves it. My daughter left in August 2024 due to school, but is still greeted so fondly when she comes with me to collect her brother. The girls look after him so well and I feel secure in the knowledge he is happy and
cared for. The activities they put on are so creative, I have no idea where they get the ideas from but they're great. The chef cooks food I am so envious of! I am so happy with the staff, that I recommend them to anyone. They treat your kids like their own and they celebrate your children's milestones as much as you do! It's so refreshing!
My oldest girls attend the after school club ran by them and again they are so happy to attend.

The shining stars room at Pitter Patter Day Nursery provides a wonderful environment where children can explore a wide range of engaging, enjoyable, and educational activities. Each day brings something new and exciting, from creative play to structured learning, which really helps to keep the children

I've seen a noticeable improvement in my daughter's confidence. She has become more independent, sociable, and eager to try new things. The staff are caring, attentive, and supportive, which makes a huge difference in helping children feel safe and valued.

My daughter has attended since she was around 11 months old and is so happy and settled. The staff seem to have a genuine investment in her, her care and her development. The updates on the app are really informative and helpful and communication is always great. I do feel that having some more links
with a designated/named worker would be helpful however everyone is approachable.


I really like the diversity of themes and activities offered. They often access the community as well as outdoor play facilities at the nursery and it's lovely to see them playing and having new opportunities.

Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdWe really appreciate your honest kind words about the care you feel your daughter receives - that's so incredibly special to hear.
We do operate a keyworker system, I am so sorry that you perhaps aren't aware of this - if you'd like to drop me a message or pop in for a chat we can go over this together and also ensure your Childs keyworker is keeping you informed.
I would also really love to hear what resources / equipment etc you think we are falling down on so that we can improve on this going forward.

Staff are amazing and great with the children cannot fault them at all, as a company I don't believe we should be charged for bank holidays, even if a percentage was added to every other day to cover staff payments on bank holidays rather than charging a family the normal payment when they still have
to find childcare for there child
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdWe appreciate your wonderful review of our staff & facilities, Thank you.
With regards to the Bank Holidays our fees are calculated on a 50wk yr average rather than a 52wk yr average to allow for these, like all business we do have outgoings, our largest one being wages. Having reviewed the calculation of not charging for Bank Holidays in addition to calculating our monthly fees on a 50wk year rather than 52wk year, we would have to increase our daily fee's substantially to still be able to pay our valuable staff for their Bank Holidays, this cost increase would need to be approximately 8/9 per day / per session which we feel would competitively outprice us, and without custom jobs sadly would be lost.
If you ever have any queries about how we structure things, or questions in general...please don't ever hesitate to reach our to us, phone, email, message on the app or pop in and have a chat.
Thank you again for your time completing this review, your voice is very important to us.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Pitter Patter Day Nursery Ltd 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.925 for Pitter Patter Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (398 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 428 Ratings = 4.925
  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 Pitter Patter Day Nursery Ltd is based on 36 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 36 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.
