My daughter has been at Zeeba since she was one year old and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
As my daughter has a learning disability, over the years we have interacted with several different professionals to support her development. Some of them have also visited the nursery and always
commented very positively on the staff. The nursery has always been extremely supportive and prompt in making the changes my daughter needed. They have gone to great lengths to accommodate any additional need she has had over the years, and all the teachers have been able to develop a lovely relationship with my girl. They are supporting us now in making the transition to reception easier for her. I will definitely miss this school very much!

Thank you to the dedicated and hard-working staff that have ensured an easy and safe transition back to the nursery for the little ones as well as their parents.
My son is in the Pre Toddlers class, and after two or three days of crying at drop off, he is now so excited to go to the nursery and see
his key worker.
Thank you to his key worker who always greets me and my little one with a smile and always gives me feedback at the end of the day. Your care and hard work for him are really appreciated.
As he struggles with separation anxiety, and as I am a single-parent family, I do often worry about how he is doing at nursery, especially if we have had a difficult morning. The staff at Zeeba Chantrelle always call me to let me know he is ok.
Thank you again for a great term and your continued efforts and hard work, especially with returning to the nursery during this difficult time.

My son has been going to Zeeba for six weeks. I think the staff are amazing. My son doesn't speak English very well, however, I can tell he is very comfortable with the girls and he doesn't feel left out because of the language issues. The environment is great. My son said the food is very tasty and
he definitely loves the morning wake up shakeup. Thank you to one member of staff for giving me the names of the songs they are dancing to. And thank you to another member of staff for always giving a hug to my son when he needed it.
Unfortunately, we have to move house and we will be living too far from Zeeba for my son to continue attending and we are very sad about that.
I think my son would have continued to have an amazing time here. The girls are all lovely and very friendly. Thank you for finding space for my son on those extra days requests.
Thank you again Zeeba and we will miss you.

My son loves going to the nursery. His special needs are considered and diary free and gluten free meals are also provided at the nursery, where food is cooked daily.
The nursery if newly refurbished, with lots of toys and a garden.

Although we are now parents to the nursery, my husband and I have been very impressed with the manager and the team at Zeeba Chantrelle for the professional way they have dealt with our child's recent epilepsy diagnosis. The level of care, conscientiousness and willingness to provide support to ourselves
we are very grateful to them for this.
The nursery is always a happy place to walk into with happy looking children and staff who enjoy their jobs. Thank you for all the hard work.

How to start my review. I love Zeeba! First and beyond all my daughter is happy. This is the most important for any parent. I chose Zeeba because it is a very clean, happy nursery. All areas look like new. The toys are all interactive and fun. And again clean! I have visited almost all nurseries in
our area before choosing Zeeba, the difference was obvious. An amazing thing about Zeeba is that the staff know all the children's names (from all classes)! I find this amazing, and helps toddlers feel safe. The food. The chef is amazing and children love him! Food is all fresh and being cooked there in an open kitchen where children can see (but not touch). My daughter is delighted and has learned to eat fruits which she wasn't keen at home. The management is very friendly and next to every parents needs. We love Zeeba Chantrelle.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three and a half-year-old son has been going to Zeeba Chantrelle since it opened, the staff and management really care about the children. The nursery itself is nicely arranged with an outside garden; as expected over the years, there have been some ups and downs with staff movement and infrastructure
issues, but the management and staff have always been friendly and lent an open ear to address queries and possible concerns. My son is always super happy to go to nursery to be with his friends, play with them as well as do some educative activities under various formats and depending on their age group. He enjoys spending his days there which he then talks to me about, and which is likely due to most carers truly caring about the children and developing a nurturing relationship with them. The staff do a good job at helping the children develop, leading them along the way and letting them be more independent as they grow up.

I am extremely happy about this nursery, since joining the nursery my daughter has developed in so many ways. She's more confident and balanced. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and my daughter loves it along with the teachers, well prepared and professional.
The management has got
a really high standard, very supportive all the time. They always take care of my concerns and requests. The manager is always on top of everything and kids love her and all the staff because they do take care of them.

Great nursery overall. New building, rooms are recently redecorated with new toys. Daughter is happy. There is an online tapestry where images and videos of my child are uploaded. This is really useful to see the activities of my child undertaken during the day. They do singing, counting, drawing etc.
Manager and deputy manager are always willing to listen to parents feedback.

My daughter has been at Zeeba since 13 months (she is now almost 3) and she loves it. She has a fantastic key worker who she has had from the beginning and also has a close bond with several of the other teachers. All the staff are always friendly, caring and welcoming. They do lots of different activities
each day and have a wonderful outside space they all get to play in each day. I would highly recommend Zeeba nursery.

After being quite nervous about placing our daughter in a nursery at 11 months old, I am pleased to report we are confident in our choice with Zeeba Chantrelle. Physically, the nursery is clean, bright, airy and filled with educational and developmental play objects. Emotionally, the staff are caring
and kind - if anything, they don't give themselves enough credit for the brilliant job they do with our children, and it is very much appreciated. The staff are under the excellent guidance of a stellar management team - who are approachable and helpful and always open to suggestions and comment. I am excited for our daughter to progress through the nursery, as I can see all the fun and learning that awaits her. Communication is generally good, although sometimes a little slow, being a large nursery.

My elder son has been with Zeeba since he was one. He's now four and a half in the pre-school room. My younger son is now one and also at Zeeba in the baby room. Having been with them for so long I am continually impressed with their care of my children. They get plenty of good healthy food, they get
plenty of play time both in and outdoors, in their lovely big garden or having walks in the local area. They have been lovely to work with in terms of big development milestones e.g. from transitioning to solid food when weaning, to potty training. I find the communication excellent from the nursery. The children come home happy every day, and I am always impressed with what they have learnt at the nursery, where the children come home and show me things they have done. Staff are always nice and my children love them. Highly recommended.

Both my children started at this nursery at 10 months and we have been going there for the last 5 years. My youngest will go to school in September and we will be very sad to say goodbye to the wonderful staff who run the nursery. Both children have formed strong bonds with their carers at every stage
of the nursery, and we feel they have been excellently cared for, shown a lot of individual attention, and have learned to build lasting relationships with the other children and the staff who work there. The new garden is fantastic for them to play in and there are always activities set up for them to do when they arrive in the morning. The office staff are always helpful and friendly and have time to listen to any concerns or worries you might have. I would highly recommend this nursery for any aged child or baby.

My son started going to the nursery when he was 6 months old. All his key workers have been fantastic. My son is well looked after and loved.


We are very pleased with the nursery. The staff always do their best to give the support that we and our son need. Any questions or concerns we have, the

management team will address as quickly as they can. We have been kept informed with our son’s progress, what’s going on in the nursery etc.


They also organise activities where parents can participate like sports day .


We are very happy that our son is brought up under the care of Zeeba. Thank you!

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.
