My son has settled in at Pixieland incredibly well and that has been with the amazing support and care of all the staff there. They are so dedicated and passionate about all the children, and they make you feel extremely confident that your child is in very safe hands. Each day I am given a detailed
breakdown of how his day has been, and they are always able to answer all my questions without making me feel like a neurotic mother!! Each day I can see how much he is developing and they are encouraging this with him. What is also a great comfort and really important is their dedication to safeguarding; there are clear rules and guidelines to ensure everyone is kept safe, that's a real plus (considering some places we saw). I can not recommend them highly enough and would like to say a huge thank you. He loves you all x

The staff are extremely friendly and professional. Our son has gone up through from toddlers to preschool with them and he really enjoys going in. His confidence has grown greatly and he takes part in a good variety of activities. The food also seems to be very good. We get regular feedback on his progress
and they have always been very open and responsive to any concerns we have had. A really excellent nursery in my opinion.

My Granddaughter loves to come to the nursery. When I pick her up she always has a smile on her face. The girls are always so informative on what she has done throughout her day at nursery, what she has eaten, slept and how well her potty training is going, the girls have done such a great job!

Can only say positive things about the nursery and its staff. When I go to pick up I always have all the information I need to relay back to my sister and the fact they send a daily diary through to mum is fab too! The environment is welcoming and I have recommended my friends to use Pixieland Mannamead
regularly.

My child started at Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead about 2 months ago and they have been nothing but professional and have made me feel so at ease. The girls are wonderful with my daughter and have helped her settle in brilliantly. The management is always helpful and there if we need anything and
I think the nursery is what we ever expected from a nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 5months old. The staff at Pixieland made my return to work so easy, despite my own anxiety and reservations, she was cared for and looked after like so well throughout the years at Pixieland. My daughter is now at school and still attends Pixieland
in the holidays and the staff are all very welcoming and accommodating, my daughter never wants to leave and looks forward to returning in the next holiday.


All the facilities are excellent, the new addition of the jungle gym was a massive hit with the children. I continually recommend Pixieland as they are such a fabulous nursery. Would not send my daughter anywhere else and to be honest she wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Pixieland Day Nursery - Mannamead is excellent! Honestly cannot fault them. The care they provide the children is second to none. I am always recommending the nursery to family and friends and will continue to do so. My little girl has attended the nursery for coming up to 2 years now and the way she
has developed over these 2 years has a lot do with the wonderful staff and the opportunities they give her that aren't possible at home. The nursery environment is beautiful and really has that home from home feel about it.

My daughter has been attending Pixieland Mannamead since she was ten months old. She gets excited when we pull up outside the nursery and knowing my daughter loves being there puts me at ease dropping her off whilst I go to work, knowing she is somewhere she enjoys being and is well cared for.

My daughter started at Pixieland Mannamead in Oct 17. She has thrived under the direction of staff and is fully interactive. She loves attending nursery and has no issues arriving at any point. The staff welcome her and all the children warmly every morning and provide a comprehensive verbal and written
feedback on completion of their daily stay. My partner and I love that the children are able to play and explore in their own time and space. The nursery is clean and well presented but this doesn't stop the staff allowing to play and make a mess as children should.


I love that the staff vary the children's day and my daughter is thriving in the various environments available (sensory room, jungle gym, outside play area and nursery room).


My daughter eats at the nursery and she is gaining a wide palette. The staff are very interactive with the parents on how you wish your child to be weaned and suitable food provided.


I would recommend Pixieland to all parents and children.

My Nephew attends Pixieland Mannamead, in the toddler room, since starting in September his speech has come on leaps and bounds and his confidence has grown massively. He has just recently started to count and listen to stories. The staff are extremely friendly and easy to talk to when collecting or
dropping him off. I would like to say a big thank you to all the girls who look after him they are doing a fabulous job.

I have nothing but praise for Pixieland Mannamead. My son has been attending on a term-time only basis since just before his first birthday and he is truly happy there. He has access to a varied range of activities from imaginative play to art and baking. He is given the opportunity to read, sing songs,
and play in the nursery's jungle gym. The staff are incredibly professional, friendly and approachable; offering detailed information about the children's day from their activities to what they have eaten. I have been sincerely impressed with their care of my son and have never had a moment's hesitation in leaving him with such caring individuals. Pixieland is a gem of a nursery and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family.

Fantastic nursery and fantastic team. My daughter has been at Pixieland Mannamead for about a year and a half. She amazes me every day with what she learns. She has made friends and loves to be there. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The team are very accommodating and have a real genuine interest in each
and every child.

I could not recommend this nursery enough! My daughter (3) has been going since she was 8 months old and we have never had any problems! The staff are so kind and caring and my daughter has formed some wonderful bonds with members of staff. The communication between staff and parents is fab, I always
know what my daughter has been up to, what she has eaten etc. Now that my daughter is old enough to give me her own account of the day she comes home and tells me about all the fun she has had, who she has played with and what she has learnt. She is such a bright, polite, caring little girl and the staff at Pixieland have a lot of credit to take for this. I don't know what I would do without them!

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.
