We were a bit nervous about sending our son to nursery at first but Zeeba put our minds at ease. They are a brilliant nursery, all the staff we've met are friendly, enthusiastic and truly wonderful. They note down his feeds, the types of food he ate, nap times and nappy change times which along with
verbal feedback at pickup really gives us peace of mind and a good idea of the day our baby had. They do lots of painting and drawing which gets hung up and then sent home for us to keep. The food is varied and they're given plenty of nutritious snacks throughout the day. The baby room is clean, and well laid out with activities and there's ample room for them to explore. We couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, we have moved to the other side of town, otherwise, we would have kept him at Zeeba until school age. Zeeba has set such a high bar that it was very difficult to find one of the same standard as Zeeba in our new local area. Thank you Zeeba team, we will miss you.

We have a very good experience in the nursery. The manager/administrator is very helpful and supportive. She is easy to communicate, attends to our needs and helps us make flexible changes to settle my child and adjust our days. The key person and other carers of my child are also amazing, very patient
and experienced. They always accompany him and give him cuddles when he needs. They will tell me in detail what he's eaten and what he plays during the day. My child really enjoys the time in the nursery.

Brilliant nursery. The manager is really friendly compared to the previous manager! Staff led by good leadership, staff are great with the children. Food is very nutritious and snacking is always available for the children. The children's needs come first with Zeeba Daycare. Both my boys attended and
had the same keyworker towards the end. She is excellent and all the children love her when they go to pre-school!

Zeeba is amazing. My son has been there since he was six months old and he loves it and is always happy to go there. The staff are very good, very caring and kind. They do lots of activities. I would recommend to any parent looking for a nursery. We are moving house, so sadly we have to leave Zeeba,
such a shame. I wish to bring Zeeba with me. Thank you for everything.

Both my sons attend/attended nursery at Zeeba. My youngest son is still at the nursery! I chose Zeeba after searching and looking around at many nurseries in December 2021. We had just moved to London then. I went to visit Zeeba and fell in love with the place! It was so clean and the environment is
very child friendly. They take their safeguarding very seriously, which was very important to me! I am a primary teacher myself, so I knew exactly what to look for in a nursery! Especially, the staff are so caring and always ready to help your little one out. My son's teachers always keep me up to date and both my children enjoy/enjoyed going to nursery willingly in the morning! Special thanks to the manager, administrator and one other staff member in particular! Keep up the amazing, amazing work and to the teachers, you are all amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two sons both attended Zeeba and have just left the nursery, as we moved house. It's a shame we couldn't bring the nursery with us! Both kids loved going in every day and we got to see them rapidly grow in confidence and maturity over their time there. Their teachers clearly cared and built genuine
relationships with them. The space is good, the nursery has its own in-house chef and the admin team were responsive and helpful in all of our interactions. What we found unique about Zeeba and will miss the most, is the sense of community between the children, parents and staff. The kids all want to stay and play after the end of each day and it's a battle to tear everyone away and actually get back home. That sense of community and belonging is hard to find and we're grateful to have had it at Zeeba.

Our daughter is enjoying going to the nursery every day. She's always happy to go and sad to leave.
The staff are very professional and supports very well, the growth of babies. They also pay a lot of attention to small details, that make the difference. Highly recommended!

Can't recommend Zeeba, Royal Arsenal enough! Our little boy started there when he was just 6 months old. Even in challenging pandemic times, the staff were excellent at handling it and I can say my son is really well cared for and loved there. Every day at pick up time we could tell by my son's happy
face that he had an amazing time. His development has been incredible since he started and we feel very lucky to have him at this nursery.

My two boys attended Zeeba Royal Arsenal from 9 months old until the time they left for reception. During their time at Zeeba Royal Arsenal, they made many friends and valued their teachers, who kept them engaged and challenged them. The location of the Nursery is perfect for working parents/carers
as it’s so close to the station.

Review from Nabeela I (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at this nursery have been exceptional in every way when taking care of my son. I was a very nervous first-time parent returning to work in Sept 2020 when my son was 7 months old and really needed a nursery I could trust. From the very first phone call and subsequent visit, the manager and
admin put me at ease and have since always been at hand to answer queries, handle any requests promptly and generally play a very active role in the care of my son. The nursery staff and room leaders are all exceptional and intuitive when it comes to dealing with children. I am so happy that I chose Zeeba. He loves the activities, is very well-fed (he enjoys the food at nursery a lot) and even manages to take long naps, which says a lot about the calm environment they create for sleep in the toddler room. He looks forward to nursery and we haven't had a single crying episode at drop off so far! Thank you to all the staff at Zeeba Royal Arsenal.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our sons have attended Zeeba from approximately 1 year old right up to getting ready for reception at a local primary school. Both thoroughly enjoyed going to Zeeba and have formed strong bonds with the staff there, our youngest in his last few weeks now and I know he is going to miss it. Whenever
we pass the building he proudly exclaims "that's my Zeeba!" We have always felt the care has been top class and the staff there have helped us with the tricky things including potty training. They get involved in a variety of activities and my son particularly enjoys 'forest school' and the sensory room. We get a detailed breakdown of the day's activities including what they have been learning and what they have eaten every time we collect him. The nursery also uses a parents' app as a way to provide additional updates on your child's development. We will gladly recommend to others looking for a nursery and a shout out to one member of staff, in particular, who has built strong relationships with both of our boys.

The team at Zeeba have been amazing from the first visit to day one. The staff supported us in the run-up answering all of our concerns and they really put our minds at ease. They were very quick in responding and giving us great detail. My daughter loves nursery and has developed so much in the 4 months
she has been there. She started to crawl, then walk within 3 months and is now a confident eater too. The food is healthy and tasty, which really puts our minds at ease. The staff treat all the children so well. You can see the bond they all have. They engage the children in a great variety of activities and share back daily how the day has been - in real detail. You can tell they care and want your child to be happy. I have recommended Zeeba to numerous friends. It is such a relief she is in a safe and happy place whilst we work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been at Zeeba since she was 1 year old. The experience of her caretaking has been great from the baby room to pre-school. She has gelled and mixed with her caretakers and other children very well, has improved her communication and learning abilities quickly and the nursery staff has kept
us updated on developments regularly through Tapestry. The transition and management of emotions and learning during 2020 lockdown from teddies to pre-school room was seamless and the nursery kept us updated regularly on plans to re-open & bubbles due to ongoing Covid cases. Thanks to the staff for making the journey so memorable for our child and us.

I was a little apprehensive about my son starting nursery but I needn't have been, as the staff have been brilliant and my son has settled in so well. I can see all the activities they have set up for the day when I drop him off and he always has a really big smile on his face when I pick him up. I
can call whenever I need to check on my son and the staff have been really good at contacting me if my son has been a bit unsettled due to teething. As much as I miss being with him, I'm so pleased he's doing so well at Zeeba Daycare.

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.
