Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the nursery since June 2024 and it has been great for his development and learning. Although his time there hasn't been perfect and we've had some concerns with incidents and how they were handled, I've seen huge improvements in recent months. There is now more structure, consistency,
and thoughtful handling of concerns, and I believe a big part of this is thanks to the new T2 room leader, Joely, who is exceptional. The staff are always friendly, caring, and professional, and they provide detailed feedback at every pickup, so I know how my son's day has been. They also share the key topics they're working on, which helps me support his learning at home. It's clear the team genuinely care, every staff member knows all the children by name, which makes the nursery feel warm and personal.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Zeeba Nursery since before he turned one, and now he's soon to be leaving. During his time there, he's had some truly wonderful key workers, especially his key worker in the baby room and Karis in the toddler room. He had built such lovely bonds with both of them and has genuinely
enjoyed coming in each day, largely because of their care, warmth, and dedication.


Like any long experience, there have been a few issues along the way, but I really appreciate that management is open to listening and taking feedback on board. It's reassuring to feel heard and to see that they are actively making changes to improve.


At the end of the day, the most important thing is that your child is happy - and my son has been. Seeing the effort Zeeba puts into improving and creating a positive environment has meant a lot.

Zeeba is an absolutely outstanding nursery, from the management to the staff and facilities. My son has been enrolled since he was just five months old, and Zeeba have been integral in his upbringing. As parents, we could not be happier sending our child to Zeeba every day. Wonderful staff, wonderful
management.

My daughter has been attending Zeeba Day care for the past year and we are incredibly grateful for the care, support and learning environment provided. The staff are always friendly, nurturing and professional. I've seen a lot of positive development in my daughter - both socially and educational -
thanks to their well structured learning activities and personalised attention. The facilities all clean, safe, and very well maintained. There's a strong emphasis on safeguarding and communication with parents is always open and effective. The outdoor space is big plus and the children have plenty of opportunities to explore and play. I highly recommend Zeeba to any parent looking for a caring and stimulating setting for their child.

Zeeba Day Care I absolutely love. The staff there are truly amazing. All are warm, caring and dedicates to making every child happy and free to be themselves. It is such a joy to see how much the children are encouraged to express their person and grow with confidence. What really speaks is that my
son cannot wait to go to nursery every day, even when its a day off. That says everything about the environment Zeeba and the team have created. The atmosphere is full of fun, learning and genuine care. It is a nurturing and joyful place for my son.

Zeeba day care has been an incredible place for a child.
From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to make every child feel welcome, valued and free to be themselves. You can really feel the love and passion they put into their work each day. What we appreciate the most is how happy
and excited our child is to go. Our son literally asks to go to the nursery even on his days off! We're so grateful for the positive impact they've had on our little one's early years.
Many thanks to the whole team!

We've had such a wonderful experience with Zeeba over the past 3 months. The caregivers are kind, attentive, and truly care for each child like family. Our baby has grown so much - socially, emotionally and developmentally. Thanks to their activities, songs and creative play. The environment is clean,
safe and welcoming with plenty of toys and books. Communication with staff is always clear and we appreciate regular updates and photos. Dropping off our child each day gives us peace of mind knowing they're in such loving, capable hands.

Our son is currently attending Zeeba, and we are absolutely delighted with the care and attention he receives there. From day one the staff have been warm, professional and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the children.
Our son has allergies, and the team has gone above and beyond to ensure
his safety and comfort every day. Their communication with us is excellent. And we always feel reassured knowing he is in such capable hands.
The activities are creative and engaging, and it's been lovely to see our son grow in confident and excitement about going in each morning. We are happy to be part of the Zeeba community and would recommend them to other parents.

Our daughter has been here since Feb. She has learnt so much and become so social in such a short space of time. Once she settled she started to really enjoy coming to nursery and also comes home to show her new skills.
The staff know her really well and have always communicated when there is anything
for us to be aware of.
We increased our days from 3 to 4 because we were so satisfied with the experience.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 17-month old son has been attending the nursery for the past four months. Initially, there was a short period of for him to settle in, but the caring and patient staff made the transition much easier for him. He now goes in each morning with a smile, which is reassuring. It is great to see that he
has developed a genuine bond with the staff. It's clear he feels safe, supported and happy in their care. The team does fantastic job of keeping us updated on his progress and daily activities. I am also very impressed with how the nursery has accommodated my son's food allergies. They take his dietary needs seriously, always ensuring meals are safe for him while offering variety and nutrition.

The Zeeba team have done so much to support and help my son, from dealing with his multiple allergies to creating a transition plan for his move into the toddler room. They all go above and beyond. Zeeba is like one big family and the atmosphere every time I go on is like visiting your favourite cousins!
I'm so pleased my son goes there.

My son has been attending Zeeba daycare since he was 9 months old and that’s probably one of the hardest things a parent will have to go through. What helped us get through it was the constant dialogue we had with the management and my son's key person. They are always there to talk, improve, and understand!
Now, my son is in the pre-toddler room, and his key person is who always welcomes you with a big smile and is very caring.
My son is super happy to go to nursery, and if he is happy, we are over the moon. Thank you to everyone but a special thank you to two ladies as you hold very special places in our hearts. We will never forget what you did for us all!

My son who is now two years old, has been attending Zeeba Nursery since August. He has settled really well and the staff could not do any more to make him feel happy and loved at Zeeba! The staff give fantastic detailed feedback at every pick up so I know how my son’s day has been at nursery. The staff
work extremely hard and find special ways to help each child with their needs. My son needed a bit of extra help settling to sleep for his nap and it did not take long before he was sleeping well at nursery!
I receive excellent posts on the parent app with pictures and updates of my son’s day and all the brilliant activities he has been doing! Zeeba is a brilliant setting and I highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have been at Zeeba since the age of 9 months, my eldest until she graduated preschool this year and my youngest is still there! They’ve been full time, 5 days and have loved their time there. It put my mind at ease as a parent. They always got ready and excitedly go. Their key workers
are caring, compassionate and loving and also work as a team. They’ve taught them a lot - including writing at the age of 3, helped potty train them and really encouraging their creativity. My eldest still loves to visit, just to get a warm cuddle as it’s been a great comfort zone for her. It has been a relief to see them well settled and happy there.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.527) out of 10 for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.767 for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.767
  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 4.76 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is based on 19 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 125 number of registered child places is 25. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 25 = 0.76
  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.
