Our son has been attending for a year and we love and appreciate how they watch over him and help him develop but always set realistic boundaries with him. A year ago I sent in a 10 month old that would not sleep or eat if I was not around, and a year later my toddler is eating and sleeping and hitting
all his development milestones.

I cannot thank the amazing team at Zeeba Daycare enough for the love, care, and guidance they provided to my daughter in the pre-toddlers' room. From the management team to the dedicated staff - five staff members in particular -everyone worked tirelessly to make this daycare feel like a second home
for her.
I truly appreciated the food menu, which was not only nutritious but also thoughtfully curated to ensure kids enjoyed healthy meals every day.
During her time at Zeeba, I saw my daughter thrive. She learned to talk, express herself, create beautiful artwork, and even dance.
The management team has done an exceptional job in creating a warm, professional, and organized environment. Communication was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully managed.
Thank you, Zeeba Daycare, for giving my daughter such a wonderful foundation of love, confidence, and joy. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child can truly flourish.

We are very pleased with Zeeba’s care, staff and communication. My daughter absolutely loves to go to the nursery and she has been in Zeeba since 2022. They have a great garden space where babies and children can play outdoors and also do loads of activities indoors to develop the little ones. Parents
have access to an app to see all info on nappy changes, meals, sleep and access to pictures of them playing and learning.

Our baby girl is happier at the nursery more than being at home with us. All the teachers are very kind, gentle and are taking care of her with my appreciation! I always highly recommended Zeeba Nursery as my trusted and favourite to my friends locally.

Our son attended Zeeba from when he was 7 months old. From day one, the staff made sure that our son was cared for and loved. His development was amazing with the help of the staff. Special mention to two members of staff, in particular.
We unfortunately had to leave Zeeba due to moving house and both
us and our son miss the entire Zeeba Chantrell team. We're very sad to leave as we know what an amazing nursery it is. We will forever be grateful for Zeeba.

My kids have been attending Zeeba for the past 3.5 years. I am very happy with the quality of care, attention and kindness displayed by the practitioners in each room, and I feel very safe and reassured that the kids are well looked after there. The lines of communication with the parents are great,
I have daily reports and pictures of the activities plus quarterly reviews to show how the children are developing. Can't recommend more this nursery!

My son joined Zeeba when he turned 2 years old and since the we have become like a family. The staff and management accommodated our requests which is a great point for us as working parents. They are in touch with us and observe the development of children and design activities to encourage kids to
improve the skills that they are not yet confident in.

I have had two children pass through Zeeba from a young age (less than one) to big school. They have both made fantastic local friends and have been incredibly well looked after by brilliant staff. Their time has been filled with activities, learning, play and laughter. The nursery has helped them grow
in confidence and explore the world around them in a supportive, safe environment. Zeeba has been a place of care and dependable support, where the staff work really hard for the best for the children in their care. Thank you for a brilliant few years.

Both my children have attended Zeeba Daycare since they were under 1 year old and I cannot recommend Zeeba enough. My children absolutely adore their time at Zeeba and my oldest still misses attending Zeeba despite having left two years ago. I've seen my children's personalities blossom under the care
of the Zeeba staff and they have both developed into such confident, bright and sunny children. At pick up and drop off, I can feel the warmth of the staff at the door and I am truly grateful for how much care the staff at Zeeba pour into looking after the children. My children always seem to finish their meals and they get to sample an impressive variety of food. As for facilities, Zeeba offers a lot more planned activities and experiences than I would provide at home. As a result, my children's physical, mental and social development have been stellar and they are well-prepared for primary school. Thank you Zeeba for your top-notch care of my children during their formative years!

My children have been going to Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle since they were babies and they’ve been enjoying their time there. The staff are really caring and I can see that my kids are well looked after. It shows in their development and interactions with other kids that they are learning at Zeeba.

Both my daughters have attended Zeeba full time, one from one to five years old and the youngest is two and still attending. Even though they are very different children, both of them have absolutely loved going every day and found the teachers were caring and acted like a second family to them. Teachers
and management are always willing to go the extra mile. Compared to nearby nurseries, the food and menu are top-notch. Overall, I cannot recommend Zeeba enough.

My son has started to love going to nursery. He enjoys socialising there and has a good relationship with the staff who are warm towards him and us. This wasn't so much the case a year or so ago when he was struggling with a mismanaged transition from one class to another, there was high staff turnover
and a couple of members of staff (who have since left) were not so gentle or communicative with him (and us). In brief, we initially had serious reservations about this nursery due to a lack of communication but things have since improved. Due to the pandemic, we have only been let into the premises a couple of times so I cannot directly comment on the cleanliness or quality of food provided, however, my son seems to enjoy his time there.

I would like to thank Zeeba, Chantrelle, for the sweet, love and amazing care they gave to my little boy. It was a second home to my boy. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, leaving this amazing place and I wish all the best and happiness. We love you, Zeeba, Chantrelle.

Great Nursery. My daughter has done so well here, she has gained more confidence, helped with her social skills with making friends, the staff are all really good with the children. My daughter actually likes every member of staff. I wish she doesn't have to leave in September to start big school,
it's a shame they don't have a school that she could go to, she would love that.

Lovely and supportive staff. They show genuine care for my baby boy. He always puts his arms out to the staff, showing he's comfortable with them and I think he loves it there! The staff are always happy to give you their time and reassurance. It's great they get a daily walk and time in the garden.

Our daughter has been going to Zeeba for about five months and we are super happy with the nursery. The facilities are great and the staff are super friendly and competent. Our daughter looks forward to going to the nursery every day and when she finishes the day, she has a big smile on her face. Her
development has progressed leaps and bounds since she started. Food is of excellent quality and the staff can accommodate any key dietary requirements. Well done Zeeba!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.607)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.607) out of 10 for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.911 for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 4.696 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Zeeba Daycare Chantrelle is based on 16 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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.696

  • 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.
