Pitter Patter is a fantastic nursery! My eldest daughter went to them two years ago with additional needs and the way she developed and was supported whilst being there was incredible. My little girl is now also going there and she too has additional needs. The support we’ve received from the staff
has been second to none and the love and patience they show my daughter is touching.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you for your amazing words - its our absolute privilege to support children as they grow and develop and incredibly heart-warming to hear that you have entrusted us with both of your children.

Pitter Patter are great. Our daughter loves going there and we feel completely at ease when she’s there. We know she’s looked after and the team of girls put a lot of effort in with their care and variety of activities.


Since she had started creche we can see social and developmental skills have

improved and think if we hadn't of enrolled her into Pitter Patter, she may not have hit her developmental targets.

My daughter who’s now 4 has been attending Pitter Patter since the age of 6 months. In this time she has developed into a well mannered, bright and happy little girl and this is hugely down to her time at this nursery. The developmental activities they do each day are second to none. My daughter is
never bored and never leaves unhappy. The children are fed well and each food choice is healthy and nutritious. My husband is in the military and so I am on my own with my daughter which often means last-minute changes to child care. Pitter Patter always cater to my needs and nothing is too much for them. Highly recommend. Thank you Pitter Patter Day Nursery.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you for your kind words - supporting our families as much as we possibly can is very important to us, juggling work and home-life can be tricky at times, we're glad that we have been able to help that at times.

Our daughter started Pitter Patter in December 2021, and she loves it! When we pull up outside, she can't wait to get out of the car to go in. She was nervous for the first few weeks, but all of the staff have been wonderful. We get regular updates and photos on the app, and it is great to be able
to see what has happened during her day. With COVID we were not able to have a physical tour of the nursery, but the virtual one was thorough, and we have always been kept informed and updated so we have confidence that this is the best place for our little girl.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you for your lovely review, especially considering how you feel your little one settled with us - the app is an addition to the service that we love, and we're glad to hear that you feel so too.

My 5-year-old daughter and 7-year-old boy have been in Pitter Patter since they were babies. They love it and as parents, we love the way they come out and tell us about their day. The staff are amazing and very professional. They also care about all the children in their care. I have told all my friends
how good Pitter Patter is in Pontarddulais. Excellent team and I know my children are safe.

The staff at Pitter Patter have always gone out of their way to ensure the best care, support and play experiences under the fantastic leadership of the manager. It is clear that the manager prides themselves on their clear, supportive and effective engagement with parents. The children always have

Amazing and professional staff. Updates face to face during pick-ups and drop-offs are always nice. Communication via the app is brilliant too. Different meal ideas proposed to parents would be welcomed by us. I understand you can’t, however, cater for all.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you for your lovely review.

We are also grateful for understanding that it can be tricky catering for all when we are preparing meals for approximately 65 children a day - however, we are always open to suggestions, and welcome new meal ideas too.

Both of my children aged 2 and 4 love Pitter Patter. My eldest has made wonderful friends with who he has started school now. The girls are all fab and have been so helpful with helping potty train my eldest and also with capping naps for my youngest when it was affecting her night-time sleep.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdWe always respect our parents' wishes and strive to work together as a supportive unit for each child.

It is so heart-warming to see how children develop early childhood friendships, it's a privilege to watch these grow.

My little girl joined Pitter Patter after having changed nurseries. I was apprehensive as any parent would be but the girls were amazing with her and kept me informed of how she was, even during her short settling in session. She's has loved it ever since!


Every day I get photos and a little write

up of what she is doing which is lovely and not what I experienced in her previous nursery. The activities seem structured, aimed at development and are creative. My daughter absolutely loves the girls here and really enjoys going to 'school'. Would recommend to anyone!

Pitter Patter Nursery is a fantastic Nursery with the most amazing and caring staff. I cannot recommend this wonderful nursery and the incredible staff enough. The staff there are just absolutely fantastic with my daughter and she is always so happy when she’s there.


They have an excellent parent

app in which I can see what activities/crafts my daughter has been doing and what she’s eaten during the day. I absolutely love when they write up about what she’s done there throughout the day and include the most amazing photos of her. You can see they all have such a caring nature, it’s wonderful to see and this always makes me smile so much when I’m at work.


The staff always have excellent communication skills and nothing is ever too much for them. They provide a range of excellent and appropriate activities for my daughter and it’s been so lovely to see my daughter grow and develop her skills there. The food there is Always very nutritious and looks so delicious.

Our daughter has recently moved and started at Pitter Patter. We were a bit apprehensive to start off in making the change as our little one doesn’t like change and is overly shy. The staff were amazing, answering all our questions prior to the move and doing everything they could to put our minds at
ease. They went above and beyond.


She started with a few taster sessions with regular updates. She settled with ease and loves it there. The app is an amazing tool with updates throughout the day and a food diary and also photos of what they got up to. Staff are brilliant and always happy to help and support throughout everything, nothing is ever too much.

I moved my child here from another crèche and it’s the best thing I have done for him. The staff at Pitter Patter Day Nursery are fantastic and really show that they love looking after the children. My son has come on so much since starting here he was non-verbal and shy starting but already since April
2021 the difference is amazing and it’s partly to do with the nursery.

Staff are friendly and patient. Been really aware of my child's allergy requirements and have included him nicely with all their healthy meal choices. Good communication throughout the day. The only downside is they aren't always great with reusable nappies.

My little one loves nursery and all the staff. They're very helpful and knowledgeable. They do activities with the baby often and little trips out and about. Lots of messy play and glitter and they take into account food intolerances in meal plans.

Pitter Patter Day Nursery is a truly fantastic nursery. Our son attends twice a week and has done for almost a year now. As first-time parents, we were anxious about ensuring that we chose the right setting for our little boy, and we have had nothing other than positive experiences since he started
there.


The staff are truly wonderful there - they provide such fantastic care, stimulation and love for the children, whilst updating the app to ensure that we, as parents, can remain updated and share in his experience in some way. He loves attending, and we are delighted that we chose Pitter Patter. We couldn't have wished for any more. Thank you, Pitter Patter.

I have two children, and both of them have either attended this nursery or are currently attending this nursery! I honestly can’t fault this place! Always doing different activities with the children, have a variety of meals for them each week. Excellent staff, all extremely friendly and inviting! They
have a great app that lets you see what your child has eaten on that day, what activities they have been doing, naps etc. Overall, a very good nursery! I would 100% recommend.
Reply from Debra Jones, Owner at Pitter Patter Day Nursery LtdThank you so much for such a beautiful review of our nursery - we are privileged that not only have you entrusted us with your little ones not once but twice! And then you are happy to go on and recommend us! Thank you.

Leaving your child in another’s care is daunting, Pitter Patter Day Nursery did everything to ease the process for both me and my son. The staff are reassuring and informative & they keep me updated throughout his time there.
Sure enough, my son is settling nicely and is coming on leaps and bounds

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.
