Zipadee's nursery have gone above and beyond for our daughter, couldn't be happier they make sure all her needs are met. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. She's always doing different activities that vary from painting/colouring/messy play/ outdoor activities and many more. They also have

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't have asked for a better start to our son's early years. From day one, we felt so welcomed and reassured by the warmth, care, and professionalism of every single member of the team. The staff are not only kind and nurturing, but also genuinely passionate about what they do - and it shows
every day.


Our son absolutely loved his time at nursery. He always came home happy, full of stories, songs, and new things he'd learned. As parents, it was such a joy to see him thrive in such a safe, loving, and stimulating environment.


Leaving is bittersweet, but we'll always be grateful for the incredible care, support, and joy this nursery has given our family. Thank you for everything - we'll miss you all!

Absolutely brilliant nursery with amazing and knowledgeable staff! My little girl has come on incredibly, her speech is wonderful and the nursery staff obviously care so much. They take her on wonderful little trips out and use a massive range of engaging and exciting activities to excel her learning.
I can't thank staff enough and I have sent both children here. The older child who now attends school was complimented when starting school as she had an excellent foundation of knowledge to support her when starting school! My child is so happy in the morning, not only to see her key worker but to see all staff and she doesn't look back at drop-off.
Amazing nursery and I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Zipadee has always provided amazing care and fun for both my boys. My oldest still has wonderful memories of nursery but was so fully prepared for school that, in a way, he doesn't miss it! And my youngest, at 20 months never cries when he goes in and always practically leaps into the practitioner's
arms.
The menu is always nutritious, and there are always smiles at the beginning and end of each day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a family-feel and believes that it takes a village to raise a child as there were some things the nursery taught us as first-time parents!

Fantastic service by the ladies that run the nursery. My child is always happy to attend and can't get enough of the place.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Zipadee Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.970 for Zipadee Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (419 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.97
  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 Zipadee 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 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, 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.
