Great Nursery. My daughter has done so well here, she has gained more confidence, helped with her social skills with making friends, the staff are all really good with the children. My daughter actually likes every member of staff. I wish she doesn't have to leave in September to start big school,
it's a shame they don't have a school that she could go to, she would love that.

Lovely and supportive staff. They show genuine care for my baby boy. He always puts his arms out to the staff, showing he's comfortable with them and I think he loves it there! The staff are always happy to give you their time and reassurance. It's great they get a daily walk and time in the garden.

Our daughter has been going to Zeeba for about five months and we are super happy with the nursery. The facilities are great and the staff are super friendly and competent. Our daughter looks forward to going to the nursery every day and when she finishes the day, she has a big smile on her face. Her
development has progressed leaps and bounds since she started. Food is of excellent quality and the staff can accommodate any key dietary requirements. Well done Zeeba!

Zeeba is a great nursery, my daughter has grown so much with the help and patience from the lovely staff there. The set up and activities they do is why my daughter loves attending. It’s such a joy to hear about all the good things she has done and learnt.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been going to Zeeba for over two years and we couldn’t be more pleased with the nursery. The fact he runs in every morning (sometimes forgetting to say goodbye to us!), talks for itself. He loves the lovely, fun and caring staff, and has made many friends there. The staff have done an amazing
job not only at developing his academic and artistic skills but also at developing him emotionally. He has now become a confident, polite and kind little boy, and we know the Zeeba staff has played a massive role in making him who he is. We are also amazed at the activities Zeeba organises for the children around various celebrations such as Halloween, Diwali, Christmas, Australia Day, Chinese New Year. They put a lot of effort into the ‘extra’ things and always exceed our expectations. We love the opportunities our son is given to be exposed to so many different cultures and to learn about them, because diversity is so important. Well done Zeeba, for always going the extra mile!

I have two children in Zeeba for the past three years and we are absolutely happy with the nursery! The management is extremely professional, responsive and creative! They spend plenty of extra time, in their personal hours to organise new activities for our kids! Both my kids are developing extremely
fast, ahead of their peer's thanks to the nursery. All children are very happy, friendly. Kids are always clean and tidy! All covid procedures are strictly followed! Especially in the past year, the nursery grew a lot in terms of the creative and educational part! Bravo!

Review from E S (Mother of Child) published on 1 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child attended Zeeba from age 10 months, progressing through each of the rooms and we just left for nursery school. Throughout this time, I was mildly satisfied with the overall standard from a parent's perspective, but I could see that my child loved it (never kicked up a fuss at drop off), was
growing and learning (independent eating, tidying up, gross and fine motor skills), so I put any reservations aside. But now that I have a comparison and look in retrospect, my view is that Zeeba was an excellent early years setting. The preschool room is a game-changer (with science, gardening, writing and phonics). The room lead is a fantastic, enthusiastic educator who will use any occasion to teach something new, even better if it involves fancy dress. My child has had a great time learning. Regarding management and staff: in 3 years, I've seen a lot of turnover; the current leader is working really hard to increase already good levels, so it will only get better.

We have been so happy with our time at Zeeba. The staff have provided a warm and caring environment for our son to grow in, and he's continually excited to go to pre-school in the mornings! We've found the facilities and activities to be great for his development, and more than that, he's made lovely
friends and has lots of fun. We feel like the staff at Zeeba take such good care of all his needs, emotional, physical and developmental and we couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery.

Our son joined the nursery a year ago and he loves going to the nursery. We see the progress on him month by month with the well-planned activities by the nursery. Staff are friendly. The nursery has a big outdoor garden for children to play in and they can enjoy outdoor fun in nice weather.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves going to the Zeeba nursery! He has been there for a year. He made a lot of friends and enjoys it there every day. A year ago, my son started in Zeeba nursery after the covid lockdown. It took him no time to settle in and we quickly noticed he learned a lot in a month at the nursery than
the 5 months of covid lockdown, when he was locked at home with us as working parents who struggled to also to do the job of full-time parents. My son did not say much English when he started at Zeeba, because he’s born slower in language and speaking, and that we are a foreign family who speak another language at home does not help either. Fast forward to today, he would speak English to everyone and even to us at home. We see him grow and change every two weeks. It would not have been possible without the Zeeba team as their patience and professional knowledge were the driving force of my son's amazing growth and confidence to express himself. We cannot thank the Zeeba team enough.

Review from Deirdre G (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Zeeba Chantrelle is a really good nursery. My baby girl is 2 years old, and she likes dancing, painting, cycling, climbing, and storytime. She has developed under the wonderful team from 11 months old, and can say a few words at 2 years old, like "come and sit down" or points and holds my hand and says
"come". I cannot praise the team at Zeeba's enough, they are doing a wonderful job, developing my daughter's early learning with messy play, painting, storytime, jigsaws, trains, dollies, and teaching the children how to feed themselves and unzip their own jacket. They have a garden for physical development, where the children can eat outdoors, and learn to cycle on a balance bike. The wendy house made my daughter laugh as she poked her head out the door, and they had climbing frames (not high) and a see-saw.

My child loved his first day, he talked about it all afternoon and during breakfast. One staff member was so welcoming to him on the first day, she was very kind and encouraging. He didn't know anyone and this didn't phase him. I highly recommend Zeeba Daycare.

All three of my children went to Zeeba (from May 2013 to August 2020). We were always very happy with the care they received. The staff are what make the setting special (and the lovely modern building in recent years). We moved last summer and taking my youngest out of Zeeba was one of our saddest
moments.

The nursery has been amazing with its different activities and our son loves going to the nursery. He loves singing his made-up school song every morning before school - “I am going to school today, school today, school today, he is going to see his teacher today, teacher today, teacher today.”

Our little one absolutely loves school. The set ups that we’ve seen for daily focus activities are extraordinary and we can fully understand why he feels stimulated at nursery. The initiative from the toddlers' staff is really amazing and the effort they put into our son’s development makes us feel
at ease, when he is at nursery.

We absolutely love Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle and our daughter continues to thrive there as she’s now in the toddler room. All the staff are fantastic, are really attentive and give us detailed feedback each day with what our daughter has been up to. We really appreciate the detailed feedback sheet and
are always amazed by the variety and quality of food she gets. We love the online app, where we see lovely photos of our daughter and her friends, as well as reports and feedback. We’re always amazed with the variety of activities and resources Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle provides, the staff obviously go above and beyond especially with events like Christmas, World Book Day and Comic Relief. The care that all staff show for our daughter is great and we love how each morning she just toddles off through the door, often not even saying goodbye to us. Testament to Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle and the service they provide. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery.

We're so happy sending our 1-year-old little boy to Zeeba. Staff are friendly and helpful and he loves going every day - he smiles every time we drop him off. We also feel that his development has really been helped by going to Zeeba, both in terms of walking, talking and socialising with the staff
and other children. Overall, it's a really friendly, positive atmosphere and we'd definitely recommend it.

My little one did start last summer after the first national lockdown when she was 20 months. I was very worried after so many months at home! The nursery team did an amazing work with her in terms of settling, learning, development and education. In just a few months I have noticed massive progress
and I am so glad! I highly recommend this nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.291)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.291) out of 10 for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 5.000 for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 5
  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 4.291 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.391
  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.
