Zipadee Day Nursery is such a warm and friendly nursery. All the staff are extremely caring towards children and parents. I feel that my child is so safe and looked after whilst at nursery. I would not send my children to any other nursery. Staff are polite, warming and put in so much time and effort
to meet each child’s needs! Could not recommend enough, absolutely amazing nursery.

My children look forward to the days they attend nursery and talk about different members of staff with a smile. We are always greeted at the door by a friendly face and all staff are bubbly and seem very caring towards all children. Mine have come on in leaps and bounds since starting here and we get
lovely regular updates of what they have been up to and what is planned for them next to help them progress. They have lots of activities planned throughout the year, trying to keep parents involved as much as possible. I am very happy that my children started here as the communication and care are much better than previous nurseries we have been to.

A few people I know recommended Zipadee Day Nursery to me and I have not been disappointed. I was so worried about my little boy not settling or being unable to nap (tricky sleeper), but he settled well and the separate baby sleep room means he has the setting he needs to nap. I have the EYlog app on
my phone so I can instantly check any notifications through the day. He loves nursery and he is just learning so much from it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Zipadee's for the past 7 months, in that time his development has soared, he learns new skills and words every day.
The well thought out set up and management of the nursery allow a guilt-free experience for working parents, flexibility and support is always extended and staff
go out of their way to work with parents for the best well being of the child and their individual needs. The staff are always professional, friendly and welcoming - and absolutely outstanding in the level of care they provide to the children.
All meals are home-cooked, varied and nutritious, with different meal options offered for children who need it, such as my son who is lactose intolerant.
Daily diaries are detailed and the weekly observations are a great way of seeing what my little boy gets up to each day and how far he progresses each week.
The facilities offered are well maintained and extensive, including a big outdoor play area and sensory room for play or nap time.

Zipadee's is a wonderful nursery with great facilities. The staff are amazing with all of the kids and form a great team. I'm always updated on what's happened throughout the day and can see online what my daughters been up to at the nursery. My daughter loves the food and tells me how excited she is
to go to nursery in the mornings, at first she was fearful but the staff worked well with her and now she loves it.

My daughter is really happy at Zipadee Nursery. She enjoys her food there a lot. She talks about the staff and her friends from Zipadees. She has learnt a lot since starting and enjoys the messy play a lot.

Zipadee Day Nursery is an amazing nursery. The care, support and professionalism from the nursery staff and management is unfaultable.
My child is always well looked after, fed, challenged and happy. My daughter's development has come leaps and bounds, and her confidence has grown lots.
All the staff
are always friendly and happy to help and answer any queries and give any advice. The management are always so helpful with any last-minute changes to my child's days.
The nursery menu is always freshly cooked meals and puddings that are perfectly nutritious and a good variety. The use of the nursery's app for the daily updates and observations is so easy to use and interact with. I always feel well informed about her day's activities and what and how much she has eaten.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
Thank you Zipadee Day!

Zipadee Day Nursery is unique place with warmth and professionalism throughout. My child's care is second to none and the comfort as a mother, knowing the standard of care they consistently provide is priceless. Their family atmosphere shows through consistently and each and every child receives wonderful
opportunities and has constant fun! The nursery and its management deserve huge credit and is a testament to the team running the nursery.

We can't thank Zipadees enough for all they have done through our little girl's nursery adventure. She has learnt so much since she has started, she amazes me every day with the new things she learns and we thank nursery for that! Everybody is so loving towards her and that is so amazing for us parents
to see!
Thank you Zipadees!

I am very impressed with the care and education that has been given to my children, I have been using this nursery since 2011 and now have a second child which has settled into the nursery this year! They have helped me wean both my children into food, the menu is beyond what you would expect. They
take extra time to say how proud they are of what my children have learnt throughout the day.
I would and have highly recommended this nursery to other parents it’s spacious, clean, really friendly staff, colourful and interesting for the kids and the playground is just unbelievable. So much to do and play with for all ages.
They also have helped to support me through times I’ve needed advice.


A fantastic nursery, I’ve not ever faulted you once.

Our daughter has been at this nursery for one day a week for the past 6 months and she loves it. She always comes home happy, clean and well fed! The staff are very friendly and my daughter is very fond of them all. In terms of communication with parents, the phone app is brilliant.
It keeps you updated
with everyday events and you also get a picture through every time she is in.

My daughter has attended this nursery for over 12 months and she’s come on in leaps and bounds. She’s confident and mixes well with the other children, which was a worry for me before she started nursery. The staff are so great, nothing is too much trouble they are all so caring and nurturing. I would
definitely recommend, especially as they offer term time only slots.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Zipadee Day Nursery to everyone. My child has been at the nursery since six months old and has moved through the nursery and now in the Pre-School preparing for school. Throughout my child's time at nursery, they have always kept me fully informed of my child's current progress
and day to day activities. Every week my child brings home something new and loves to tell me about the fantastic dinners and puddings they have had. My child has made lots of friends and so have I, throughout our time being apart of the nursery. The staff are so friendly and kind and can't do enough for my child and me, for example swapping days and changing my child's times. I wanted to write this review because as my child heads off to school, we will miss them so much, but I will definitely be using their wrap around care for school and holiday club.

Thank you to all the staff at Zipadee’s, in the last six years they have helped my two little ones develop and become confident in what they do, by allowing them to express themselves and encouraging them to be independent. The nursery practitioners go that extra mile to make the environment happy and
welcoming for all. Both of my kids look forward to the days that they are in, and all the exciting new things they can create and learn. Keep up the good work.

The staff at the nursery are amazing with my son. He loves going to nursery and is well taken care of. I have used a different nursery before and this one is miles above it. The daily log app is brilliant as we can see what he has been doing and eating etc, as well as pictures uploaded. They are flexible
with the hours to suit our needs which is great.

My two year old godson attends Zipadees and has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September 2017. I pick him up each week and he always comes out with a smile on his face chatting away about his day. They always tell me about how well he has eaten and everything he has done through the day,
so I can let his mum know. He loves it that much he asks to go at the weekend.

Zipadee Day Nursery is amazing! My two grandchildren go to the nursery and they both love it. The staff are so friendly and they really care about the children. They have both come on leaps and bounds and never want to leave because they have enjoyed their day so much. My Grandson loves to tell me about
the lovely dinners they have and he likes to show me where he plays outside which is huge!
I would highly recommend the nursery to all.

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.
