  • Pixieland Day Nursery - Stoke, Plymouth
Pixieland Stoke has amazing facilities for all age ranges of children, from birth to 5. The nursery has been awarded a Level 4 in Healthy Eating in the Early Years and The Early Years Healthy Child Quality Mark. So from snack time to playtime, Pixieland children are extremely well fed both in body and in mind.

The sheltered, heated and lit outdoor area is spacious and suitable for the children to learn to ride bikes, use their imagination in the pirate ship and discover the world around them by growing and planting their own fruit and vegetables. The nursery has free flow for the preschool children so they can independently choose whether they want to play inside or outside.

The purpose-built soft play area allows the children to have gross motor play all year round. From drama and imaginative play to yoga and music instruments, there is so much for children to do.

The welfare of the children is of the upmost importance, through an exceptional key worker system, practitioners can ensure the individual needs of the children are met.

Pixieland Stoke offers MOD and sibling discounts and is a popular choice for local parents who are seeking the best possible learning environments for children.

The nursery is very well run. You feel welcome and comfortable. My boy adores his nursery ladies.
He is very well cared for and always happy to attend. The observation system the nursery uses is awesome.

We have sent both of our children to Pixieland Stoke, our first son starting in January 2014 at just 6 weeks old, our youngest starting in 2018. During this time Pixieland has been very brilliant with both of our children, nothing has ever been too much trouble, whether it be dietary requirements, routine
changes or just the little things to keep our boys happy. The staff at Pixieland are very attentive to the children and offer a safe, happy and exciting environment for children to grow. It will be a sad day when we no longer attend Pixieland :( and we can't thank everyone at Pixieland enough for all they do. The staff are all fantastic at their jobs.

I have 2 children in this nursery. My eldest has been there since 11months old (now nearly 4) my youngest same (now 16 months old). The staff in each room are brilliant. It all starts in Babies, where as a new mum returning to work, you are anxious, but they put you right at ease. "Call as many times
as you like"...and I did when I was adjusting to this new routine. They also put loads of observations on the eylog so you get updates during the day of your little one, which I just love. There is great interaction between the room your child is in and the next level up, so when they are ready to move on it is not overwhelming for them (or you). On those tougher days where little one is reluctant to leave you, all the staff are patient, caring and ultimately really helpful in getting them settled. Overall I love this nursery, and it's all down to the staff. They are what makes this environment so welcoming for the children and they do it daily with enthusiasm, compassion and understanding.

Both my sons settled in well, the staff were friendly and attentive towards them which helped. They seem to do age-appropriate activities and get them outside as much as possible.
The price is good and I find the management helpful.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 14 months old and I must say she has made some very special bonds with the staff. On her nursery days, we say come on time for nursery and she can’t get her shoes on fast enough. The staff are so very attentive and you can tell they spend a lot of
time getting to know each individual children and what they like. For example, my daughter loves baby dolls so a member of staff is always there to take her to the baby dolls on her arrival. We have been so very happy with this nursery and all they do for the children.

I can’t recommend Pixieland Stoke enough! My son has flourished since being at the nursery and the staff clearly take great care in giving the best opportunities for them to learn and understand. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and it is evident that they build positive relationships with
the children. I have no issues in regards to hygiene, safeguarding, staffing etc, as everything is amazing and I have never had any concerns. I love that we are updated at the end of every day and also l through the use of the parent app. The selection of meals throughout the week cannot be faulted as he eats better than what I do! The main thing for me is that he is happy going into nursery and I can honestly say it’s clear he really loves nursery!

My little girl has been at Pixieland for around 8 months now and she absolutely loves it. She gets so excited going in and when I pick her up she’s always so happy and settled. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, the baby room is clean and modern and the garden area is excellent. I would
100% recommend Pixieland Stoke.

My daughter has been attending Pixieland since she was 18 months old and has simply thrived. Every room she has been in she has formed a wonderful bond with both her key worker and head of room and loves every minute she spends there. The staff are wonderfully friendly and attentive to all the children
in their care and are excellent at keeping track of their development. The nursery also provides three meals a day and a snack in the morning, meaning I have little to worry about when sending her off other than making sure she's got a drink and a spare change of clothes. Special mention to the ladies who work in the office, who are brilliant at helping with any funding/payment queries you may have. I honestly can't recommend Pixieland enough, I'm so glad they run a holiday club because my little one will definitely be back once she's started school!

I had massive fear of leaving my first born child after my sister couldn’t look after him anymore so got into contact with Pixieland! My first visit was amazing I have never felt so comfortable and having that sense of leaving my child safely to go to work and that’s exactly what I got here! I would
recommend Pixieland 100 times over. It’s so reassuring that I can go to work and still check on what my son had been doing through the app and the end of day review with the helpful girls in little todds. Amazing nursery and I feel so happy knowing my son is coming on so far and is so happy whilst I’m working.

Our oldest child has been at the nursery for over two and a half years. He started off in the baby room and has gone on to little todds, toddlers and now pre-school.
He enjoys every day at Pixieland and has lots of fun whilst learning new things. The staff are brilliant and I have recommended the nursery
to many friends.

My son joined Pixieland in January 2017 at 8 months old and loves it. The staff are so attentive to the children and parents I couldn’t fault them. They have a huge range of activities that they do every day. My son particularly enjoys the arts and crafts. He has developed so much in the year he’s been
there, I particularly like the in-depth development reports and the daily eyLog.

My son has been attending this nursery full time since August 2015. He enjoys every day and leaving him there - one of the hardest things to do - has been made easier by all the dedicated members of the staff. Thanks to their hard work he has come on leaps and bounds and comes home every day learning
something new.


He is offered varieties of different meal choices, given the chance to food taste once per month amongst everything else. I could not recommend this nursery enough to other parents.

My son has been attending the nursery for a year; just after his second birthday. There is a noticeable difference in his skills in all areas of communication to life skills, from building relationships and developing confidence.


I have always found the staff and management to be pleasant and welcoming

to both myself and my son. My son is always happy to be dropped off and always happy to see me; he wears his heart on his sleeve and I know how much he loves it at Pixieland, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

My boy has been going to Pixieland Stoke since September this year full time. Over the last three months, he has come on amazingly with so many different skills and he gets so much social interaction with other people and children that will prepare him well when he is at the age to go to school. He
adores all the staff in the babies room and he always has a massive smile on his face every morning when we arrive.


I couldn't ask for better staff to be teaching him. They are kind, friendly and extremely supportive and do their job to an amazing standard. They always keep us updated with pictures and comments through an app on what he has done and what he has eaten that day. This is extra great for us as his dad is just about to deploy for 9 months so he can still keep updated with his son while he is away which is brilliant.


I would happily recommend pixieland stoke to friends and family. Keep doing what you're doing pixielamd stoke.

My child has been attending the Pixieland Stoke setting since September 2015. Choosing a nursery was one of the hardest things my partner and I have had to do. I have to give my thanks though to all of the staff, who have helped not just my child but my husband and myself setting into routine. What
was one of the hard decisions has now become one of the best decisions we have made.


I loved the Christmas file which we got in December which has ark work I will treasure forever. I cant wait to see what delights we get next.

My son James is due to start school in September, but he has developed so well since he started at Pixieland. He found it hard to mix with other children and I was worried this would be a problem when he started school. To begin with I put him in just for 15 free hours, but he loved it so much I ended
up paying for extra days so he could be with his friends.


Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.302)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.302) out of 10 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Stoke 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.889 for Pixieland Day Nursery - Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 3.413 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pixieland Day Nursery - Stoke is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.163

  • 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.
