Our daughter loved her time at Sweet Pea. The staff were excellent and were always welcoming when our daughter arrived at the door, if she was a little unsure at drop-off she would be swept up in the activities or playing games with the staff and other children and often wouldn't look back.
The staff
The staff
took their time to get to know her, and understand what she liked and what she needed. The key workers that she had during her time were amazing and always gave a great level of feedback to us when we had reports or we asked how she was getting on.
Any concerns that we had were dealt with in a speedy and professional manner which put any concerns at rest.

Our child absolutely loves going into to Sweetpea. After some time off recently, today they were so excited to return! They care for the children as they would their own. Our child comes home role playing as the names of the staff and wants us to play these roles also! We'd highly recommend sweet pea
to any potential parents.

My daughter absolutely loves it at Sweet Peas! The staff are welcoming and friendly, she adores them and gets excited to see them at drop-off. There is a good range of structured activities, themes, free play and story time to keep the little ones happy. Lots of reading and singing too!
The app they
The app they
use helps keep up to date on what my child has been up to, how she's eating and sleeping, and lots of photos so I know she's happy. It also allows easy communication through the day so if she's not sleeping well or there's something else we need to know it's communicated efficiently (but of course a phone call if it's urgent)
The staff are really helping her focus on her development, and have been very encouraging of her learning to talk and walk, it's really helped her blossom into a happy little girl.

I am very happy with this nursery. My child has been attenting for 2.5 year. She has always been well cared for and regularly tells us how much she loves the staff members. She feels right at home and enjoys the many crafts and activities done in Sweet Pea! She has learned all her colours, shapes, numbers
etc there. I have piece of mind that she's in a great place while I am at work and that's coming from a rather ancious mum!!!

Both of our kids have been to Sweet Pea and we've found it's been a really good experience, both for them and for us as parents. The facilities are great, a bit of outdoor space, but the thing that stood out the most for me was the staff were really kind and caring with them and and how our kids developed
a bit of a bond with the staff. When we trialled removing dairy from my son's diet, the nursery were really good at preparing alternatives. Overall, we were really pleased with Sweet Pea and would definitely recommend.

The nursery have been a complete godsend to us. They have had our beautiful son in their care since he was 6 months old, he is now almost 3 and has blossomed with their love and support. I trust them implicitly with looking after him, and they have had a huge role in developing him into the funny,clever,
loving little boy he is. They put so much effort in to activities and trips out which is not expected but gratefully received.We couldn't have wished for a better place and I'm actively putting off sending him to school nursery to keep him happy and settled with all his lovely carers. Thankyou all for loving and caring for Dylan like we do.

We've been at Sweet Pea for nearly 8 years with 2 children, the staff have always been engaged, and the children entertained with age appropriate activities. Sweet Pea engaged with parents over meals and provided balanced food options. The children were provided with thematic weeks, and regularly post
updates throughout the day so that we can enjoy conversation with our children about their day in the evenings. They make the most of their facilities, it is clean and the children are expected to keep the rooms tidy. They regularly change around toys to keep the children interested. There is pride the upkeep, which has been freshen up and redecorated over the years. While the garden is small, there are a number of different activities to play outside and they often take a walk to local parks. On a personal note the staff have been reassuring when we've left a little one upset in the morning, and always send us a message to let us know that they were ok! It's the little things that help!

Sweet Pea Daycare is a wonderful nursery. Extremely supportive and proactive in child development. Incredibly friendly staff , who make a real effort. My little girl loves this place and it feels like she has a second family, who also admire and encourage her development. Very supportive with toilet
training and nap timings. They work round the child's schedule not their own. My little one has been going here since 9 months and her confidence is empowering and it wouldn't be that way without this place.

Our son went to sweet pea from about 22 months until just before he went to school, and it was such an amazing first experience for him.
The staff there are all very sweet, kind and caring, I never had an qualms about leaving him there. Any worries we had about him, they were quick to support or placate

(I was worried about his speech and they were very helpful).
He also learnt a lot through sweet pea, we never sent him to preschool which I was worried about but he hasn't missed out.
Love sweet pea so much, my partner's eldest went there and our youngest is starting next week.
Thank you for everything you did for our boy!

My grandson started at Sweet Pea day nursery from the age of 6 months. He has now been at the nursery for a year and he absolutely loves it. He settled in straight away and quickly made friends. The nursery does different activities every day and post lovely photos so you can see what he's been up to
and how happy he looks. Even photos of him in the background you can tell he's interested, happy and having fun with his friends. I would definitely recommend Sweet Pea day nursery to anyone looking for a nursery. He's always very happy to be dropped off and go in and play.

I am so grateful that I found Sweet Pea Daycare.. Both of my children attended this nursery from a very young age and really loved their time there. At pick-up they were always happy and eager to tell me about their days, and still talk about their memories. The staff are incredibly caring, sensitive,
and are genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing. There is clear communication and parents can also receive photos and updates on an app throughout the day. Days seem thoughtfully planned with plenty of fun activities and time for learning too. The building is nice and clean with an outdoor play area and meals are also balanced and healthy. Overall it's clear that the team puts a lot of effort into creating a consistently safe and nurturing environment here in Sweet Pea. I was always reassured that my children were safe and well-cared for while I was at work. Highly recommend!

for, in a fun, safe and friendly environment was all I could ask for.
They helped with potty training nap transactions, anything we needed. I'm only sad my son had to grow up and go to school.
They shaped part of who he is, and for that im thankful.

I was initially quite anxious about enrolling my two children in a daycare after our childminder canceled. However, Sweet Peas Daycare has provided reassurance and support from the very beginning. The dedicated staff create a warm and secure environment, and the children quickly feel at home. Our eldest
child has since transitioned out, but the staff remain attentive and enthusiastic, pleased to hear about his experiences at school when he comes to pick up his sister. They are also flexible with adding extra days when needed. I would highly recommend this facility.

Our children have been attending for a while and love it. We get a lot of updates through the integrated app so have great visibility of the activities and care they are experiencing. The staff put a lot of effort into following a weekly theme to drive engagement and learning. Would recommend to anyone.

Both my children attended Sweet Pea from 1 year old, my youngest still attends the setting. The staff are really caring of the children and always willing to listen to, and carry out, parental requests for example around nap times. One of my children struggled with toilet training, the staff were always
willing to support them and carry out frequent changes - this was dealt with so much more supportively and proactively than at childcare setting they also attended.
They have a small garden, but make great use of it going out whenever the weather is suitable m they also make trips out to various local parks.
The activities are varied, and the children seem to enjoy them. I really enjoyed arriving early for collection one day to see the staff putting on a puppet show.

Current
Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Sweet Pea Daycare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
- The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.894 for Sweet Pea Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.894
-
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 Sweet Pea Daycare is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 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
- 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
