My eldest daughter started at Spotty Zebra Day Nursery Ltd over 4 years ago at only 9 months old and since then I've placed my two other children into the nursery too, both having started before one. The nursery is impeccable, my children have progressed beautifully and the staff are so expertly hands-on
and supportive. I would recommend the nursery to anyone, they are attentive and beyond helpful as I was understandably nervous with each child going in, but I have no regrets whatsoever. My children go in without looking back. An amazing nursery that has prepared my child wonderfully for her next step towards primary school.

I am happy with the nursery provided. The environment is very explorative and the staff are very helpful and supportive. Although my son has only just started and will take time to settle, the staff have been very good. Also very good with using their app to update and reassure me of my son's day at
nursery.

My daughter has settled in so well at this nursery. We were sceptical about how she would be, as she was a fussy sleeper and so dependent on me and Dad. She now settles and sleeps through the noise with no problem!
She was a little upset being left the first few days but now reachers for her key worker
when Dad drops her off in the morning, ready to go and play. The updates throughout the day are so reassuring and I love when we get pictures sent through to see what little miss has been up to.
She's always in a super happy mood when she's been at nursery! We're so happy we chose Spotty Zebra.

My son has been coming here since turning 1 - he is now 3.5 years old and still loves it. He has moved through the rooms from baby to preschool smoothly and enjoyed his time in each one. I'm confident that he is well looked after and feels safe and secure. Staff clearly devote time to the children and
understand their specific behaviours and needs.

Spotty Zebra is a kind and caring setting where the staff are fully engaged with children and familiar, creating a home away from home. We are completely happy with the service we receive on a consistent basis and our children look forward to each day of fun and learning.

Our experience with Spotty Zebra Day Nursery has been wonderful. Our daughter absolutely loves attending, especially the music program. The staff members are caring and attentive, and our daughter always comes home happy and more confident. Drop-off time is easy and guilt-free for us because we know
she's in good hands and that she genuinely loves and the staff and her key person.

Really helpful right from the start. Viewed a couple of nurseries and felt this was the most organised and beneficial for my daughter. She had to start nursery from quite young. The nursery has always catered to her needs and has really helped her to develop. The staff are really lovely too and so helpful!

Hello Laure, thank you for such a lovely review. We are glad we could assist with providing a space at such a young age. Please let us know any suggestions you have for the areas you have marked down as a four, as we are always looking to improve.

My little boy started at Spotty Zebra in September. The baby room staff have been fantastic with my child and very reassuring to me and my partner. The management team were very responsive and accommodating when I needed to permanently change a drop of time. My child is flourishing at the nursery and
has become a lot more confident since starting. A huge thank you to all the staff at the nursery.

Spotty Zebra is a very friendly, professional and child-focused nursery. They genuinely get to know your child and take their care and consideration on a personal level. The staff are always approachable and go above and beyond to help in any way they can. I have had two children at this nursery setting
and I’m glad they’ve had SZ as the first start in their education. Both have loved the food, outside areas, curriculum and staff. It’s a very modern nursery setting and pre-school really, really helps them before the big transition to primary school. I have known a lot of the staff for years now and I feel safe knowing that my children are at this nursery. There is a low staff turn-around at SZ, which speaks volumes.
They always come out happy and looking forward to going back the next day!

I love sending my child to Spotty Zebra Nursery as he is developing really good, learning to do loads of things and seen so many improvements. I am very pleased my child enjoys spending his day there, I'm so pleased with how well he has done, has been so active and playful. The staff at Spotty Zebra
Nursery really took care of my child. I love how they engage with my child by doing activities every time he is there, which really help with development. Would 100% recommend this nursery.

Our son has been with Spotty Zebra now for the past two years. He’s now in preschool, and our daughter recently started nursery as well. Very caring, friendly and attentive staff. As we both work full time, it’s nice to know that our kids are in a safe, caring environment which lessens the worry. We
get updates at every step of the way, and with daily pictures, we don’t feel like we miss out on too much. We highly recommend Spotty Zebra!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Spotty Zebra Day Nursery Ltd 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.916 for Spotty Zebra Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (430 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 Spotty Zebra Day Nursery Ltd is based on 39 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 39 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.
