If you want a hands-on fun-loving nursery with a great, happy atmosphere then Pixieland is the one for you.
The girls are amazing and my son absolutely loves it. Will be sad when he leaves for school next year.
I trust them all with my son's education and well-being, can’t say much more than that.
The accounts lady is amazing as well as management. Spot on.

Absolutely fantastic nursery and staff. My little one was diagnosed with autism last year and the staff here and gone above and beyond to meet his needs. Could not ask for better service.

This nursery is 100% the best nursery I have seen.
My wife and I are quite OCD and I'm sure most parents, when looking for their child’s nursery, are as well. We looked at quite a number of nurseries in the area of Plymouth in its entirety and this nursery by far leaves the rest in the dust. A well
coordinated, friendly, colourful and crazy clean environment, my child has thrived here. He is always a step above what’s apparently expected of children these days. He loves the nursery and my wife and I feel happy and safe knowing our child is well cared for and fed/treated appropriately.
All the girls working here take a huge interest in the child’s development and they have the facilities to ensure this. Sadly, we have to move further north for work commitments and the only thing we will miss is this nursery. We are spoilt with this nursery and no other will compare though we are happy our son will be cared for in his new nursery, it’s just a shame we can’t take you guys with us!

My 2-year-old twins currently attend this nursery and are thriving.
Since starting, they have gained so much confidence and they are progressing excellently with their speech.
They absolutely love going to nursery and have such a great relationship with all the staff not only in their room but the
office staff too.
The resources are great and they love the ‘jungle gym’ and outside space.
My daughter has a milk allergy and the cook prepares alternatives for her at meal times. When I leave, I know they are safe and being well looked after and loved. It’s also nice to receive photos and videos through an app.

The nursery has provided nothing but excellent care and attention to both my daughter and myself. My daughter has attended the nursery since 1 year of age - she is now 3 years old.
I am pregnant with my second and will definitely be enrolling my second daughter once I return to work.

My son has attended Pixieland for 8 months, initially in the tiny tots and now in the toddler room.
We cannot recommend the setting highly enough. The staff are excellent: patient, professional, caring and our son enjoys going to nursery.
Initially, he found the separation tricky but again, the
staff worked hard with him to find a strategy that worked to support him and he now transitions to nursery without a second thought.
Our son has developed many new skills since starting this nursery and we are really pleased with his progress as well as the care he receives.


We visited 4 local nurseries before settling on Pixielands and we are so glad we did.

An amazing nursery which both of my children have attended and have loved their time there. We will be sad to leave when our son starts school in September. Professional and caring staff, excellent facilities and a wide selection of engaging and fun activities. The sounds of happy children as you enter
the building speaks for itself! Our children have thrived under the care of the team who are an absolute asset to the Pixieland name.

My Son has been with Pixieland Mannamead for 10 months now and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazingly supportive, friendly and first class caregivers, they seem to have a spot on balance between development and fun.


The facilities are great, especially the jungle gym, sensory room and large

outdoor area. The food looks great (and my fussy toddler eats it all!) and I have spotted the local greengrocers dropping off supplies, so would assume it to be of good quality as well.


The Admin team are beyond helpful with billing enquiries, funding and booking extra sessions.


Just perfect, would highly recommend!

My son started at Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead in March 2019 and thanks to the kind and caring nature of the staff he settled in very quickly. The staff always have time to answer any queries I might have and they clearly have a good routine in place for the children in their care. The premises
are always clean and tidy and they have good safeguarding procedures in place.


I particularly like how the children are taken outside to play whenever the weather is nice. It is also great receiving photos (via an app) of what my son has been up to during his day.

My little boy is in the baby room and has been there since he was 8 months old. The room leader is outstanding and my little boy's main carer is the best person you could hope to have looking after your child. So patient and kind and you can tell she genuinely loves seeing the children each day. I really
feel like the nursery helps his development and love the fact they set next steps which help us first-time parents out as to what they should be doing next to continue what they are learning in nursery. Thank you so much to them all, I wouldn't want to send him anywhere else.

I can't thank Pixieland Mannamead enough, being a first-time mum I was so worried about going back to work but the staff at Pixieland have made the transition easy. My daughter loves being at nursery, the girls are so friendly and patient and take great care over the children. They do lots of fun things
that I don't have the time or space to do at home, mother's day this year was extra special because of the artwork that came home with my daughter! Plus the food is homemade and always sounds yummy! If you are looking for a fun, down to earth, caring and engaging nursery this is the one for you!

My daughter has been at this nursery for 2.5 years starting in toddlers and moving up to preschool. Every time we pick her up she has a smile on her face and the question can I stay longer to be with my friends. The staff are amazing and I thank them so. Much for helping my daughter become the little
lady she is and ready to start primary school.

The girls at Pixieland Day Nursery are absolutely superb - I cannot praise them enough. They have looked after our son since a very young age and he really enjoys his time spent there. Our son can be somewhat 'challenging' at times but the girls take it in their stride and discipline him accordingly
when necessary.

The staff are very passionate about their jobs and professional. They give great feedback about my sons day and how he has been as well as updating the app. They are always willing to go with what my son needs that particular day and ensure that his interests are catered for. The facilities are perfect
for my very active son and he comes home exhausted!!!! (Which is a good thing!)

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.905 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.905

  • b) 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 4.886 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.886

  • 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.
