Little Pips staff have been amazing at settling both my children into their nursery. Using a nursery was a new experience for me and they have been fantastic at making me and my children feel very much at home and as such both are thriving from the experience.

Little pips have been consistently incredible from the day my son joined, we cannot rate them highly enough! Despite Covid, illness and toddler behaviour they have been a consistent role model and safe space for our son with fantastic communication and involvement with parents.

My son started out in the baby bunnies class and is currently in the toddler's happy hedgehog class. We have had the best experience with Little Pips. My son has been so happy there and has really flourished. Last year I had an unfortunate accident and was unable to take care of my son on my own for
six weeks. They were amazing in providing support and taking my son on extra days. In fact, the day I had my accident, another mother took my child home whilst I was at the hospital and the lovely ladies packed a bag for my son to take him. They have always gone above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

My son has attended this nursery for over a year now. The staff here are so lovely and my son really looks forward to attending nursery. He talks about the staff and other children out of the nursery, and is always happy! He can tell me all about his day and the activities he has done- I know a lot
of effort goes into these activities daily by all the ladies so thank you.
I can honestly say that I am 100% confident that my son is safe, and well looked after.

My son has been going to Little Pips since he was 7-months-old and to this day he is still enjoying it. The staff are fantastic and friendly. Over the last month at the end of each day, he’s been so excited to tell me about the chicks and caterpillars, I think it’s a brilliant experience for the children
to have and it’s brilliant the nursery does this.

Reply from Claire Burgess, Director at Little Pips Nursery Chippenham

What a lovely review thank you! It was really amazing to watch the chicks hatch and grow and to be able to release the butterflies once they had fully grown so it is so wonderful to hear that the children have talked about this at home too! Thank you.

The nursery is fabulous. All staff are warm and welcoming. They give regular updates and know the children. They made us feel so much more relaxed as our baby joined in Covid and we could not view it. The moment we could go inside they gave us a tour. They adapted to let us still be a part of our child's
journey. Absolutely faultless.

Little Pips have been absolutely incredible from day one, you can tell they truly care about your child and she always has the best time. She’s been taught things at nursery which I don’t believe we could of, as she’s a lockdown baby I was most worried about her confidence and interacting with others
but she’s really grown into herself since being there. When we’ve had problems with allergies, it was no trouble at all to help cater to this. Thank you everyone at Little Pips

Our little girl has been going to Little Pips since March 2021. She was a true lockdown baby and we were concerned how she may settle given the lack of social interaction in her life to that point, but we needn't have worried. The team are so warm, kind and caring and our little one's confidence and
development has truly flourished. The app keeps us up to date with the wide range of activities and we love seeing pictures of her enjoying her days. It really is a home from home and a large part of her life. We're so glad we chose Little Pips Nursery.

Our son has been coming to Little Pips Nursery for 3 years. It is a brilliant nursery for little ones to play, learn and make friends in their early years. With great inside and outside space and with lots of toys and a great variety of activities throughout the day, it is the ideal environment for
their development.
The ladies are kind, caring and very supportive, always available on the phone when I had a question.
The nursery app is great if you want to follow what your child has been up to that day.

We moved our daughter to Little Pips after our previous nursery advised that, without additional funding, they could no longer support her.
The manager arranged a video call to discuss the issues raised by the previous nursery and was unfazed by them.
Our daughter moved to little pips in September
2020, within a month it was clear that she was thriving with Little Pips, more confident and enjoying learning again. No further funding required! She is forging friendships and speaking positively about her days (things that were an issue in the previous setting) as well as attending a whole day extra a week. It has been wonderful to know that she can go to nursery and be settled, happy and engaged! All of the ladies are so friendly and communication via the app is better than anything we have ever known! Concerns and worries l, however trivial, are addressed immediately and professionally. I wish we had moved sooner! Highly recommend Little Pips and their team!

We absolutely love Little Pips. The staff are so friendly and invested, and the app is a great tool for communication. We get regular updates, photos, and each day there are great activities for our daughter to do. Our daughter settled in within a couple of days, and I enjoy picking her up and chatting
to other parents at the gate, as it is a lovely atmosphere. I feel it is an outstanding nursery where staff give their all and go above just doing their job. Thank you, Little Pips!

My boy has been going to this nursery the past two years and he loves it. The staff are friendly, hardworking, so supportive and hands on. My child's learning just improves day by day and every day he is at nursery I get updates throughout the day on progress, food and learning, which I love reading
throughout the day when I can't be with him. Can't recommend the team enough with the learning and care they provide.

I can’t speak highly enough of the amazing staff and facilities at Little Pips Nursery Chippenham! Our daughter is excelling in all areas. We are regularly kept up to date via the app with photos and videos of the activities of the day, as well as what our daughter has to eat and when she has used the

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.
