Pippa’s House feels like a second home to our daughter. She started in the Babies room and is now in Explorers and attends 2 days a week. She has made new friends and learnt so much in her 2 years there. The team are amazing, friendly and always supportive!

My daughter has been going to Pippa's House for almost a year, and she is a child who doesn’t take separation from me very lightly, but since she has been in boppers, I have seen a huge improvement, she seems to have gotten really close with the ladies, and even when she is upset to leave me, she is
always reassured with a cuddle and gets over it very quickly. I feel comfortable that she is well looked after, and I can see her confidence has grown. She has a special bond with one of the ladies who is normally in the kitchen but she helps in the rooms too; it’s lovely to know that everyone at the nursery plays their part to make the children feel happy and looked after.

Pippa's House Reigate is a really special place. The staff are fantastic and provide the highest level of care and support. My child has been at the setting for three years now and I know she is a kind and confident child thanks to teachers in every room. The manager and her team really are something
special and I always recommend Pippa's House and will continue to long after my daughter has started school.

My daughter has been at Pippa’s since the beginning of 2021 and it has been a wonderful experience for her. She looks forward to going every week which is just what you want from a nursery. The staff are great - very caring and helpful. The garden is a great space for the children, and the nursery is
always coming up with new activities which my daughter has really enjoyed (such as having a Spanish teacher come in, and various experiences with animals being brought in). My second child will be joining soon. I would highly recommend Pippa’s to other parents.

Our son has had a fantastic time at Pippa’s House (Reigate) and has grown so much in his time there.
The staff throughout the organisation are helpful, knowledgeable, diligent and above all caring.
The children have space to play and are taken outside often. The nursery arrange lots of fun activities
for the kids, bringing in external groups such as sport programmes and petting zoos.
I highly recommend prospective parents take a look and see if it is what they want for their little ones.

A very reputable nursery, with professional staff. Every day there is plenty to learn, lots of activities, creative workshops and free play. The garden is an amazing space where the children can play freely under supervision. Meals are yummy and healthy. The staff are really caring and will update you
daily. They use an app where you can find information about your child's day, my favourite setting is where golden moments are recorded: you get pictures of your little one and a briefing about something special that happened during the day. My first child loves the nursery and settled quickly in the new environment, my second child will be attending soon also. I cannot recommend enough!

Finding a good nursery for first-time parents can be really challenging. As parents we all want what is best for our children: good care, carer who understands our kids, nursery management who can listen to parent’s requests and circumstances.
A nursery is as good as its staff. Parents of two little
souls, I am glad we found Pippa’s House in Reigate. We are with Pippa’s since 2021 and that was the best decision we took for our children’s overall development. My kids can’t wait to go to nursery every day. The activities, learning, care, food, outdoor activities etc. everything is spot on.

My son started at Pippa’s House at 9 months and is so happy there. From the staff to the activities, to the updates for parents, Pippa’s House has given my husband and I the peace of mind that he is being cared for, his development nurtured and is fed delicious meals (often multiple helpings!). Just
before Christmas, he moved up a room and it was a really supported and smooth transition. We’re very grateful to the whole team for all that they do.

My 4-year-old daughter has been at Pippa’s House Nursery since she was 10 months old, from her first settlement we’ve had a great experience. The staff in each of the rooms she has been in have been incredibly caring, interested in my daughter’s development and accessible on the rare occasions we’ve
had any concerns. The nursery is clean, well looked after and well managed with an increasing range of activities and is always looking for new ways of doing things to help the children’s development.
My daughter recently had a serious accident (with me, away from the nursery setting), and the care & consideration about her recovery and working with us in her rehabilitation/return to nursery has way exceeded any expectations; the manager and team have really gone above and beyond in what has been a difficult time. For me, this really demonstrates the genuine care the team gives my daughter on a daily basis, and knowing this gave me real peace of mind as she returned to nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Pippa's House Nursery Reigate 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 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.906 for Pippa's House Nursery Reigate is calculated as follows: ( (636 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 692 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 Pippa's House Nursery Reigate is based on 57 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 110 number of registered child places is 22, which has been reached with 57 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.

A note from Yiota...


I have been working in childcare for 23 years, both in nurseries and as a nanny. I am level 3 qualified-working towards a level 5 lead. I still have a love for crafts and creating fun learning experiences for the children. I joined Pippa's House Reigate in April 2024 as room leader. I was recently promoted to Deputy manager in December 2024. I also regularly travel between our Pippa's house nurseries mentoring new members of staff. I come from a huge Greek family, and we all look after each other, which is why I realised at a very young age I wanted to work with children. I am now also mum to baby girl, who attends Pippa’s house. Honestly when looking for a new position for myself, a big part of wanting to work at Pippa’s house was seeing how happy the children were when I visited and how engaging the staff were. I’m really excited to progress my own qualifications within the nursery and to make it as fun as possible for all the children in my care.
