My child has been at Zeeba since she was 1 year old. The experience of her caretaking has been great from the baby room to pre-school. She has gelled and mixed with her caretakers and other children very well, has improved her communication and learning abilities quickly and the nursery staff has kept
us updated on developments regularly through Tapestry. The transition and management of emotions and learning during 2020 lockdown from teddies to pre-school room was seamless and the nursery kept us updated regularly on plans to re-open & bubbles due to ongoing Covid cases. Thanks to the staff for making the journey so memorable for our child and us.

I recommend this nursery because the staff, environment, food and the learning process put in place, is truly the best a parent could ask for. Seeing the development of your child improved within a very short time - it's amazing.

Zeeba provides a wonderful service for both of my children, they help my 10-month-old and 2-year-old stay very happy and entertained. I am particularly impressed with the care and attention their key workers provide and I'm impressed with the effort put into their care and development. Could not recommend
Zeeba Royal Arsenal enough.

I was a little apprehensive about my son starting nursery but I needn't have been, as the staff have been brilliant and my son has settled in so well. I can see all the activities they have set up for the day when I drop him off and he always has a really big smile on his face when I pick him up. I
can call whenever I need to check on my son and the staff have been really good at contacting me if my son has been a bit unsettled due to teething. As much as I miss being with him, I'm so pleased he's doing so well at Zeeba Daycare.

The team has been fabulous handling the daily life of my daughter over the past few months, since she was 18 months. I can see her really enjoying her time, every single day at Zeeba. Although her first language is Chinese, I also noticed that her English has picked up very fast, as well as her social
skills. The Chinese New Year celebrations at the nursery also surprised me, as it shows such a dynamic atmosphere of multi-culture. Last but not least, I am very grateful to the daycare management team for granting me the flexibility, while tackling a cross country relocation, in such a highly uncertain environment.

I have nothing but praise for Zeeba. Our son has been attending for 18 months and has always loved it. We have always been incredibly pleased with the education, stimulation and fun he seems to have. His key workers have always been so lovely and kept us up to date with his progress. We love it and
couldn’t recommend it highly enough. All of the staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Throughout Covid, we’ve felt very safe with our son attending.

Our son started nursery for the first time with Zeeba Daycare and has been attending the “Toddlers” room for the last 6 months. We are extremely pleased with the level of care he is experiencing at Zeeba (Royal Arsenal) and the support the team provided during the difficult settling time. The staff
are kind, friendly, and very professional and we always feel comfortable and safe leaving our son with them. Kids have plenty of opportunities to learn through play and we can see a number of positive developments in our son such as an improvement in language skills, increased interaction with other children, creativity, and better eating habits. There is an exceptional manager, who is friendly, always available to discuss important matters and responds promptly to all our questions. Special thanks to the staff who have been taking great care of our son on a day-to-day basis, providing comprehensive and valuable feedback. We can happily recommend the nursery to other parents.

Zeeba is a five-star nursery. The team are totally committed to ensuring the children are happy, safe and stimulated in a friendly and warm atmosphere. We feel very lucky to have such a fantastic nursery in our locality and would recommend that any parents looking for childcare speak to the staff about
what Zeeba can offer them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We loved Zeeba and are very sad to leave, however, during our short time there, we have been thrilled with the care and staff there. My daughter's first key worker in the pre-toddler area was loving and attentive towards her and really took care of her needs, and my toddler blossomed under her care.
My daughter really enjoys going to school and is excited every time she goes near the gates.
In the toddler area, there are much more kids and could be overwhelming, however, my daughter loved the area and her friends were all there with her. The only complaint was that the carers there don't really give you much feedback about what your child did during the day at pick up time as the pre-toddler ones do at pick up. However, my daughter's key worker was fantastic and warm towards us at pick up time, and we will miss her.
The managers are fantastic, and have such a good heart, during the whole entire process they have got your back and they really do become family.
Thank you to Zeeba team!

Our son has attended Zeeba for the last 18 months and from the first day, he has been looked after with all the care and attention we could have hoped for. The activities he takes part in on a daily basis have accelerated his growth and development and we have seen the results on an exponential level.
His
interaction with other children during nursery hours has been beneficial in him developing relationships with others in a social setting. Zeeba focus developmental work on understanding emotions which has really helped our son in empathetic behaviour towards others.
His key workers, over the last 18 months have all worked with him and push him to facilitate his development and have built key bonds with him on an individual level.
Our son loves attending Zeeba and is always happy when he knows he is going to nursery.
We couldn’t recommend Zeeba Royal Arsenal enough to any parent who is considering child care solutions.

Great nursery, both my children went there. We had to take them out because we moved houses, however, if it wasn't for that we'd definitely keep them there. They both enjoyed going every single day, they greatly developed themselves and we were comfortable that we were leaving our children in good hands.
Definitely recommend it!

Before starting this nursery I checked others in this area and I liked this one best. I was not wrong! My baby had a very difficult time adjusting - more difficult than expected - she was crying all the time and couldn't accept it. They couldn't have been more accomodating - we changed attendance patterns
several times - full days to half days and back and we only had to pay for actual attendance. They allowed me to stay in (that was before COVID) and gave lots of tips and encouragement - I was frankly about to quit and stay at home with her for another few months. I am very grateful for the support I received. Now she is in the toddler group and perfectly fine. They have a nice garden for children to play in and aircon in the premises which is important in summer. The team is very good and the food is satisfactory. I highly recommend it and mostly because of the personal support received here.

My child started Zeeba in 2017 at 9-months-old. Now leaving for primary school in September, I feel so confident my child is ready for the challenges and this could not have happened if my child didn’t attend Zeeba. As a parent, lots of factors cloud your mind when thinking about going back to work;
looking for the perfect childcare setting, initially the first steps to aid your child’s future. Honestly, I felt the complete opposite. From my first visit and the induction day, I knew I had made the right choice. All the rooms are well designed enabling great stimulation to help the development of every child. With the activities and routines put in place at Zeeba, I was able to progress my child’s learning whilst at home. At the end of the day, you want to know that your child is happy and I have always felt this. I value *every* staff member within the Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal and they will have a special place in mine and my child’s heart for everything they have done. Truly amazing!

My daughter has been here for 2 and a half years and she is now ready for school. Every day she is very happy when I'm dropping her off. She is learning so many new things. The staff are incredibly professional, always welcoming and very positive. My daughter loves all of them and she will miss them
dearly when she starts school in a few weeks time. It's such a wonderful daycare!

When I see my daughter's smiley happy face at the end of the day (collecting her from Zeeba), I know that I made the right call in choosing Zeeba Daycare. I have peace of mind knowing that my daughter is being looked after by passionate, caring and professional staff. I was very anxious dropping her
off on the first day but the manner in which she was taken care of was truly humbling. She settled very smoothly and from that day onwards she has thrived in the caring and friendly environment. Her confidence and personal development is a testament to the hard work of the staff. I am often pleasantly surprised by how well her listening and speech is developing. Feedback is provided about her daily activities. I would highly recommend Zeeba Daycare.

We are grateful to have found such a nurturing and welcoming environment for our child to grow and learn in! After visiting quite a few nurseries, we were thrilled to tour such a light-filled and colourful space, which was thoughtfully designed to encourage a child’s joy for exploration, imagination
and discovery. The garden is excellent and well looked after. It was emotional to trust other people with caring for our son, but his fantastic key workers made his transition into nursery relatively painless and have carefully watched over and encouraged his development over the past seven months. His bond with them, and their affection and care towards him, have been directly responsible for how happy and secure he is as a toddler. We look forward to hearing what he has learned every day. When we drop him off, he is full of smiles and excitement, reaching out for his key worker; when we pick him up at the end of the day, it is clear he has had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

My daughter loves Zeeba and so do I. She started going there when she was just 9-months-old, and it is amazing to see how much she has developed. The staff are just wonderful, and they put me at ease right from the beginning. She only goes there two days a week, but she's always happy and full of smiles
when she is dropped off and picked up. I receive a lot of feedback at the end of the day on what she got up to, her meals, her nap and even diaper changes. I have no complaints, and will definitely recommend Zeeba to any parent looking for excellent childcare.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.798) out of 10 for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 6 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 4.958 for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 3.84 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 125 number of registered child places is 25. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 25 = 0.24

  • 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.
