My little boy loves Little Pips and all the staff.
As a parent, it's reassuring to know my son is well looked after and enjoys each and every day.
The staff were particularly supportive when he had a milk tolerance and worked with me to come up with alternatives.
The regular feedback is great and
has ensured my son has quickly developed in all areas of his learning.
Can't thank the nursery enough for the brilliant job they do!

My child loves going to nursery. I feel they have helped so much with her speech and learning in general, which is very important for children to set up ready for school. Also emotionally ready which I believe the nursery has had a good impact.
They have a great variety of activities as well as making
sure they have lots of outdoor play.
The staff are all approachable and make you feel you can ask them anything.
Meals are also varied and home cooked which is another excellent factor, my daughter eats better there than she does at home!

This nursery takes safeguarding very seriously. I work in education myself so I have an understanding of the requirements.
My child has progressed so much since starting and she loves the food and activities.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My daughter has been at Little Pips Nursery Cheltenham since she was a baby. She is always very happy and content to go there and on the rare occasions she's not so happy I'm confident to leave her in the capable hands of the ladies who are very good at what they do.
They are kind and supportive to
parents and very thoughtful. They encourage and help whenever they can. I will never forget how upset I was to have missed my daughter first steps but when I picked her up they set it up so she would walk to me. It's the little things they do that make leaving her easier to bear.

I wanted my child to come to this nursery through lots of recommendations. When I initially visited I noticed two things that were so important to me, approachable, friendly staff and happy children! The nursery also felt safe, which made me feel comfortable leaving my, at the time, 9 month old there!
My daughter is now and she always has the best time at nursery and is lucky to be able to go twice a week. Since going to nursery she's come on leaps and bounds with her speech and her socialising skills, which I put down to the lovely members of staff who put all their time and energy into the children and the fun activities they do. I always look forward to homemade pictures that my daughter makes. Overall the staff are great and so is the nursery and I would recommend to everyone.

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.
