You exceeded our expectations on every level when it comes to our daughter's personal development and building her confidence. We feel you listen to her, take note of her needs and truly celebrate who she is. You work with her on the areas we ask you to and support and empower us in our parenting on
every level. We are very happy with your work and have already recommended you to several of our friends.

I highly recommend this nursery. My son attends full-time whilst I'm at work and I have peace of mind that the practitioners take excellent care of him. They have helped and supported him in reaching all his developmental miles stones. We are often surprised and impressed at how well he is developing
his speech, his movements and his dexterity. He also seems to be happy to be handed over in the mornings. Recently they have brought in a new menu of food which he also seems to be enjoying.

Our twins (girl and boy) joined Zeeba Daycare in Royal Arsenal in July 2016 and over the last three years, we are very impressed every day of how much our two kids enjoy playing and learning at the nursery. Furthermore, our twins started many friendships with other kids, which results in friendships
between their parents as well.

I would describe Zeeba Daycare, Royal Arsenal as friendly, reliable and helpful. Their staff are consistent and work extremely hard, building excellent relationships with the children. Parents are kept well informed of any update or changes. The facilities are excellent, which enable the children to
make the most of their time at Zeeba. In my opinion, the nursery is managed very well and the manager ensures a smooth day to day running of the nursery. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Zeeba and has made tremendous progress, all thanks to their wonderful staff. She feels happy, safe and has built strong relationships with staff and peers. The food that is provided is great- there is a big selection and menus get changed, which is nice. The facilities are clean and seem to comply with the health and hygiene standards.

Both my boys attended the nursery, my older one is in school now and the younger one will leave for reception in school in September.
The staff and management are amazing and are on the look out for your child 100%. Always there to listen when you have queries!!! They make the day exciting and fun!
And give them all the skills for big school. I recommend it to everyone. Zeeba Royal Arsenal is great.

Zeeba has been brilliant for my daughter who is inherently introverted. The staff and management give each child individual care and attention to bring out the best in them - both socially and in terms of learning. The children are all beautifully behaved and interact so well with their peers and their
adults.
Set in an urban setting, Zeeba tries it's best to provide outdoor exposure through its forest school and outdoor play area which children thrive in.
I cannot say enough about the staff who are so personally invested in each child!
On a personal level, management has been hugely helpful to my daughter and I, going out of their way to help us outside the immediate nursery construct for the benefit of my daughter's development.

My daughter has settled in very well and loves the Nursery. This is all because of the wonderful staff and care that is given to the children. I am very grateful to all the staff and key worker, who has been amazing. My daughter looks forward to nursery every day and has made some great friends to play
with. he daily sheets are great. It is always nice to see what he has been doing during the day. There is good communication between home and nursery, both written and verbal feedback being very useful.

We just love Zeeba!


An outstanding nursery providing brilliant care.


Following extensive research and visits to three nurseries, Zeeba became the choice facility for our then 11-month-old daughter. She's now been there for just over two years.


The very attentive staff and management, friendly

environment, ethos, combined with Zeeba's application of academia and sensory-based learning have enabled our daughter who has developmental delays to thrive. Through a personalised plan, engagement and consecutive effort by literally all staff she is reaching key milestones.


Children engage in messy play but you'd never know, the nursery facilities are all so clean!


I highly recommend this nursery.

Both of my children have attended Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal. My eldest is now at school and the youngest still attends. They both love spending time there and I'm confident that they are well looked after, have fun and learn.
The staff are great. I really feel that they enjoy spending time with the
children and are pleased to see them and really care about the kids. They are also very focused on their development and give me regular updates on how they are doing, what they are learning, etc. My eldest was well-prepared for starting school.
The nursery has great facilities and the children do lots of different activities during the day.

Our son moved to Zeeba Daycare Royal Arsenal from a different setting. He settled in well as he was used to going to nursery, but he was a bit behind for his age in terms of physical development and also quite introverted. The staff are all very enthusiastic about what they do and they really care about
and love the children. I believe the genuine care and attention to each child helps them develop to the best of their abilities. Our boy made huge strides since joining this nursery. We have had great pleasure in seeing him develop, learn through play and grow in confidence since joining this setting. He is now a confident, secure little boy, running and jumping around. You would never have said he's the same child who started out there. It is always clean when I drop off or pick up my child and they are always engaged in some activity rather than just sitting around waiting for time to pass. The children seem happy and my son is very fond of the staff.

My son started in the baby room when he was 7 months old and from day one he was made to feel welcome and secure. As a first time parent, exclusively breastfeeding and following attachment parenting there was a lot of anxiety about putting my child in a nursery and going back to work. The first day
of his settling week the staff filled me with so much confidence that I felt comfortable leaving him with them, knowing that they will look after him with such love and care. Ten months on and I am amazed at his development - every day there is something new and at 17 months old he is as confident as ever - being challenged through different activities. We are able to track his development online with monthly observations and it is great to see that they take his interests into account when planning his activities. He loves going to nursery and has a strong bond with the practitioners in his room.

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.
