Being a non-English, 2-year-old kid, our son is settling well. The key workers are amazing and show great patience and care, to make him feel at home. A lot of activities and he is encouraged to play with other kids, which helps improve his social skills.

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. The staff are amazing at what they do. The encouragement and love they have for their children speaks volumes. My son has been shaped into a creative, caring, smart and courageous young boy and it's all because of them and what they do! Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Zipadee, this autumn and the staff couldn't have been more helpful with settling in. The flexibility and cooperation have been first-rate. This nursery truly works on the premise that working with the parents to suit their needs will result in the best possible outcome for the
child. There are regular updates on what they've been getting up to, which is wonderful to see. The children and babies are seen as the individuals they are, from their very earliest days. A warm, happy and welcoming place for young people to play and grow.

Review from Amanda T (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended this nursery in the preschool room from September 2021 to July 2022 for 3 days a week. After the pandemic, I wanted to make sure I picked a nursery that would help him with his social skills mainly as he hadn't been around other toddlers much (only his older sisters) and get him in a
position to be ready for school. I looked at others in the area and I chose this one based on the good previous Ofsted report, the flexibility they offer and recommendations from others. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. This nursery has a very warm and welcoming feel to it and my son went from being shy with toddlers when he first started to playing with them and initiating play with them towards the end of his time there. He also has this amazing maths ability which I am pretty sure has been nurtured by the nursery, he sometimes tells his 6-year-old sister answers to maths additions! I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone, they are brilliant.

Our daughter loves attending nursery full time 3 days a week. The staff are always friendly and welcoming in the morning when I drop her off. She has learnt so much whilst being at this nursery for the last 12 months and it’s been lovely to see her grow in confidence each week.

Our son has attended three days a week since the beginning of June. Prior to this, we visited on our own for a look around and then went back with our son. We are extremely happy with the service Zipadee provides and our son loves attending! We see our son happy to go into nursery and the smile on his
face, both at the beginning and at the end of his day there, is a testament to the wonderful staff team. The updates we receive are detailed and informative and nothing is ever too much trouble, which makes us a very happy family indeed!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are incredibly caring, approachable and understanding. My son is now in the pre-school room, however has been at Zipadees since he was a baby. We have been extremely happy with every stage of his growth at Zipadees, and believe he is more confident now because of the staff who work there and
the approach they take. He eats extremely well at nursery, things he won't even look at when at home, the cook is also a credit to the nursery, as are all the staff.

What a fantastic nursery! I always recommend it to people. The staff are very helpful, informative, caring and honest. The nursery is accommodating and flexible. My daughter is very happy here. She always eats all her home-cooked foods and comes home talking about different friends and activities that
she's enjoyed. She's learnt a lot here and always surprises me with new things. Thank you.

Our children have been going to Zipadee Day Nursery for the last four years. During this time they have come on leaps and bounds. The staff are very friendly and approachable and take time to speak to you. They are very responsive to any questions we have had. The children have always enjoyed the food
here and provides a well-balanced meal plan. We are updated daily with our child’s daily diary and their weekly observations with pictures. I would highly recommend this nursery.

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.
