Fixbees is an outstanding nursery, both our children have been attending Fixbees and they have enjoyed their time there. The staff are very welcoming and nurturing, when I have had concerns with any of my children such as illness or having a bad night, the staff will listen to my concerns and help my
child to settle in, they are never short on hugs. keeping them occupied with numerous fun activities and tasks.


The food menu is fantastic, even for fussy eaters and at times have catered for a halal menu. The learning activities are great and both my children have come home singing nursery rhymes and the alphabet. A really nice homely nursery- the children get a great start in life with a positive learning attitude and a loving environment.

My daughter has been back at Fixbees Private Day Nursery since April and initially struggled when back in tweenie room but the staff there are so amazing and welcoming that she settled in quickly. Now she is in pre-school she is really enjoying everything she does with the children and staff, they are
good at communicating which helps my daughter learn new things easily and every day she comes there is a happy story as she enjoys it so much.
If your child has any dietary requirements the cook is so helpful there and always goes over and beyond as my daughter has food allergies and they go over and beyond to ensure she’s included at mealtime.

My daughter absolutely loves Birkbees. She has developed such a strong bond with the staff and looks forward to going to nursery every morning! They always have such a variety of activities for the children to do and teach them about different cultures in amazing ways. She’s always coming home with
something she has painted/crafted that I can keep for her to look at when she’s older! Staff keep me updated on everything she has done through the day. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore!

Fixbees is such a lovely little nursery. The rooms are small and homely and you get that ‘family' feeling when you look around. That’s what grabbed me and made me want to send my child there. The activities they provide are always stimulating and fun. The food menu caters to all needs and is very healthy
and varied. For me and my family, Fixbees is wonderful and we love it!

My daughter started here since she was 1 year old and now she’s been in pre-school. She loves going there and every day she says more, more. Because of their encouragement, she is excited to wake up early and prepare to go there even on weekends. All the staffs are great. They are so kind, supportive,
respectful, enough patience and approachable. They are truly the best! They always come up with creative ways to teach children and provide them with a range of different activities in a really good environment. I would 100% recommend this nursery as they have the best childcare facility that makes both teaching and learning interesting which is amazing.

My daughter started here at 10 months old, I chose this nursery because of personal reasons I went here myself so I felt happy knowing the manager already. My daughter was in and out of nursery due to coronavirus and me being off work a significant amount of time however every time she returned she
was always made to feel welcome and she settled back in because of the care and commitment of the staff here. I can’t thank them enough for making both of us at ease and making sure my child is always happy and learning. I would 100% recommend anybody to this nursery. It is amazing.

My son loves going to nursery, his pre-school teachers are great and know him really well. They provide a range of activities and they often follow the children's interests. We were impressed this month with the woodwork that he did as nursery provide these great opportunities to develop different skills.
They cater to his dietary and health requirements well. Thank you to all staff at Fixbees.

My little girl started at Fixbees Nursery in 2015. It was her first nursery and went on to become the first nursery for my son too in 2017. Both of my children loved their time here, they both grew in confidence and made many friends and good relationships with the staff. Everyone at Fixbees was extremely
welcoming and helpful. The staff are extremely caring, compassionate and nurturing. They looked after both my children so well and also were so open and helpful with any questions or worries that I had. The play area is lovely and the food was brilliant. Trips and other outside activities were always very enjoyable for both my children. I would definitely recommend this nursery with no hesitation.

My little girl has been attending since October, she has recently turned two. She is so happy here and coming on leaps and bounds in her development. She is a very happy little girl at this nursery and they keep you informed on all things that happen. We have an online account and can see what she is
up to throughout the day. Great staff and great ratio of staff to kids, which I do think matters for development. Thanks for taking care of her so well.

We are very happy with the nursery. My daughter is comfortable there and goes in of her own accord with all members of staff. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice. The nursery is happy to accommodate any extra days I need which is very helpful. Her development matters assessment is currently
up-to-date but more pictures, recent ones, would be great to see. My daughter is coming on very well in her learning and social skills plus her speech is getting clearer every day. The staff have now offered to help with potty training - fab!

We visited Fixbees before making the decision to send our daughter there and were so impressed from the first moment we stepped into the nursery. The staff really are a credit to them. From the age of one our daughter, who is now over two years old has developed into such a well spoken, polite mannered
child. Her learning and basic knowledge all round is fantastic and I can only put that down to the incredible staff and Fixbees.

Sending your child to the nursery is such an emotional time. You need to feel that the nursery staff really care about your child. I never questioned this with Fixbees Private Day Nursery.
We went to look around several nurseries but none were as good as Fixbees Private Day Nursery. They have a light
airy building, wide open spaces and great rooms for the age groups.


The staff are so dedicated and are constantly going above and beyond. The theme days, new food and experiences the children gain are invaluable. I loved accompanying my daughter on a trip to a local airport and then picnic in the park. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son absolutely loved it and they developed him amazingly in time for school. This was more like my son being brought up by an amazing extended family than being at nursery. They have healthy eating to the highest standard, growing vegetables and forest
school. It is worth every penny. This is an amazing nursery with staff who have been there for years and love their job. Thank you Fixbees.

I've always found Fixbees staff to be friendly and professional. My child enjoys attending the nursery and is always challenged with interesting and age appropriate activities. I feel the nursery involve the parents with stay and play sessions and I receive feedback about my child's progress through
Parentzone and parents evenings. I love this nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Fixbees Private Day Nursery 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.886 for Fixbees Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.886

  • 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 Fixbees Private Day Nursery is based on 11 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
