My child absolutely adores Little Pips and has been there since a baby. The development and growth have absolutely been enhanced by all the staff at Little Pips and they are a credit to the nursery industry. Very helpful with parents' concerns during development and give wonderful and practical advice

Fabulous nursery which goes above and beyond for the children. I have two children currently there who attend three days a week and they absolutely love it and the staff! My oldest daughter is in preschool and starting school in September, she’s been learning phonics in graduation time which they do
daily for ten minutes and she can spell her name and recognise letters, she’s learnt so much in preparation for starting school. My third child will be starting there early next year which I’m excited about.

Little Pips Nursery is a wonderful nursery which has, for the last three years, provided a fun, safe, supportive environment for my daughter to grow in, and is now providing the same environment for my son. I’m so glad we chose this nursery for our little ones and I’m grateful to all the staff there
who make this nursery as fabulous as it is!

Our son has been going to the baby rooms since September 2022. He has progressed amazingly and I think that's down to the staff. The staff are amazing, caring and are always friendly and approachable. He never wants to leave at the end of the day. As a working parent, I feel so happy leaving my little
one with the staff and know he is safe and well looked after. They do an amazing job.

Our two children are always happy to arrive at Little Pips and are always happy at the end of the day. They accommodate our children's needs and provide plenty of updates and feedback on their day. Their comms are excellent and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants a happy and caring
environment for their child to attend.

Absolutely amazing nursery, my son has been going for a couple of years and he loves all the workers and they love him, he has a speech delay and the nursery as a whole have done so much to help him with development plans, Senco, meetings on progress, helped and advised with late school entry so he
can stay in preschool for an extra year.
So glad he started here, I'll be sure to send the child I have growing at the moment there.

The staff at Little Pips are amazing, and their commitment to the children in their care is inspiring. My two daughters love going there, and talk as much about 'the ladies' as they do their friends. I really cannot recommend Little Pips highly enough.

I have three children that attend and have attended Little Pips nursery so have been fortunate to watch the nursery progress! The Staff and their professionalism are second to none, my children love it.
Very imaginative games and excellent crafts. The preschool is fantastic for preparing the children
ready to start school. The Famly app is well managed and I love seeing what they get up to during the day.

Our little girl has been attending Little Pips for the last nine months. The best feedback I can give is from her reaction to the place. She has thrived in the hands of the staff there and we have seen a big leap in her development and confidence. The greatest compliment they can have is that she now
runs in at drop-off time without a backward glance.
The feedback we get from the staff is observant and thoughtful, we especially enjoy getting updates via the app with photos of what our little girl has been doing.

Our son has attended Little Pips since he was 9months he has settled in well thanks to the care and kindness of all the staff he is always happy to go to nursery.
Since starting he has grown in confidence and the nursery has been very accommodating to his dairy allergy not seeing it as an issue. He
has had lots of opportunities to take part in a wide range of well-thought-out activities. We are particularly impressed with the use of the app that keeps you up to date throughout the day and are pleased to see him growing up with little pips as part of his weekly experience. We would highly recommend this smaller caring nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.942 for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham is calculated as follows: ( (372 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pips Nursery Chippenham is based on 33 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 33 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.
