Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the minute we visited Pippas open day, to our son starting at the nursery and to now, the communication has been impeccable. Everything that was offered, said and promised has been followed through to smallest detail. The staff have been nothing but kind and understanding and have supported my
son though a trickery transition. They have gotten to know him, his likes and dislikes in such a short space of time and ensure that any worries or change in preferred routine are communicated straight away. He has asked on the weekends to attend nursery and play with all the fantastic toys. The nursery is always clean and the staff make the effort to spark up conversation giving me a lot of confidence in the care they are providing. We love getting updates on the app and seeing pictures throughout the day help with the worry of leaving him. We would highly recommend Pippas house in ash vale to anyone and look forward to seeing what the next few months bring to such a lovely setting.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Pippa's House Nursery Ash Vale 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.984 for Pippa's House Nursery Ash Vale is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.984
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pippa's House Nursery Ash Vale is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2025

I began my childcare journey in 2018 having always had a passion for caring and looking after children. I have always wanted to progress my career and increase my skills and knowledge, so I love working as part of the management team, supporting parents as well as children. In 2023 I joined the Guildford branch of Pippa’s House as room leader and then Deputy Manager. From my very first day, I knew that Pippa’s was the place for me.
I am very excited to be a part of our wonderful new setting in Ash Vale and am looking forward to continuing my career in early years. No day is the same and there is nothing better than watching a child flourish and grow.
