Such a great nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it and all the staff, she runs in with open arms each morning.
I have noticed such a difference with her progression too, she's so much more confident and interacts with children, lovely!

Aww, we are glad you can see your little one's development progress since coming to nursery! Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review.

Our two eldest children attended the nursery from nine months old in the baby room, our eldest left for school this year, and our middle daughter is still there in preschool our baby will be starting in December. I can honestly say that I could not wish for a better setting to leave my children. I am
always so secure and happy knowing they are in the safest and most caring hands! We drive over 30 minutes to attend the nursery as no other nursery has even come to close them. They really are one in a million - coming from a mom who works in education, I see a lot of settings, and they really are up there with the best!

My son has been attending for over two years now, and the staff have been really nice and given him extra time when needed as he has a speech delay.
My son loves the food there and the staff. He loves the activities they do, especially the messy ones. He loves going out on trips with them too.
They
have always liaised with me.

Spotty Zebra Nursery creates wonderful relationships with the children who attend. Through every stage of both of my sons' journey so far at the nursery, they have loved every minute and can’t wait to go each day! The progress and development are so evident, and it shows that the curriculum being followed
is excellent. Highly recommended, and thank you!

We feel so lucky to have found Spotty Zebra for our son. He has been attending since he was seven months old, and we knew from day one he was in such good hands. He has loved each of the four rooms - he has progressed through (Babies, Tweenies, Toddlers and now Pre-School). The staff are all so loving
and caring, and have a genuine bond with him. There seems to be a great mix of learning and play. He always eats well there, and the menus are varied and healthy. The management team are always contactable and always tries to help if I need an extra day here and there. It really is a fantastic nursery.

Reply from Spotty Zebra, Manager at Spotty Zebra Day Nursery Ltd

We can't believe how fast time has flown; your little one has sped through all of the rooms but has done amazingly in every single one of them. It has been a blessing to watch him grow and become the clever little star he is!

From the moment we walked around Spotty Zebras, we knew it was the right place for our child.
Lovely staff, great facilities, and the food on offer were amazing.
Our child loves going to nursery and has developed so much in the time she has been going here.
I would give Spotty Zebras a ten and
recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

My daughter goes to nursery and is always so excited to go. You get daily updates with photos and regular updates with observations.
She always come back with different things she makes.
The staff have always been good and you have a key worker who regularly supports. Good access, with parking at
the back, and have been flexible if we need extra days (if available).

My daughter started three months ago after just turning one and the staff have been amazing at settling her in so she now gets really excited to go in the morning. The staff are incredibly informative with daily updates and messages sent and it is so easy to message them in the app with any information.
The care assistants have been amazing with my daughter and she talks of them often at home! The management team are also incredibly approachable and accessible and it’s clear that they really care about the children and the nursery. All the staff are really friendly and seem really happy in what they do. I highly recommend this nursery and have already done so to parents I have met in the area.

My daughter has been at Spotty Zebra for the last few years and this month will be moving to reception.
She has loved her time at Spotty Zebra. She has been nurtured and supported and the staff truly know her as we do. They support with conversations and are always on hand to give reassurance and
cuddles to her when needed.
The building is spacious, the staff knowledgeable. We can't thank them enough.

I currently have a pre schooler, and will soon be having my 7 month old in Spotty Zebra Day Nursery. We visited a number of nurseries in the area before our nearly 4 year old started and we just fell in love.
The building is beautiful, spacious, always super clean. Food is fresh and nutritious, Staff
are friendly and will go out of their way to help you, from apprentices up to managers. The personal touch doesn’t get lost.
There’s a baby, Tweenies, Toddler and Pre School room, they have a key person that they get to know and look after them. We have built great relationships with the staff and their recall of individual needs of each of the children blows my mind.
There’s recently been a graduation event, where the staff pulled out all of the stops and made it a really special albeit emotional occasion.
The only downside to this nursery, you’ll need bigger walls to display the artwork your littles come home with. I want to keep it all! Thanks Spotty Zebra’s, we love you!

My son has been attending Spotty Zebra Day Nursery since December 2022 where he started in the baby room and is soon going to be making the transition to the tweenie room. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and always has so much fun when he's there. The staff are so lovely and kind and nothing
is ever too much for them.

We moved our son here in 2019 after a terrible experience at another so-called good nursery. He loved it, and we never had any issues at all. Our little girl is here now too, she has been here for over a year, and again they are perfect. Staff cater for her allergies, even on party days etc. Kids are
always sent a birthday card, whether they are in on that day or not. Staff go above and beyond. I do not have a bad word to say at all. The place really is perfect.

Since joining Spotty Zebra in the baby room, my son has been welcomed and nurtured by the team so well, and he always enjoys coming to the nursery. All staff are so warm, caring and compassionate. They made my son's transition from baby room to Tweenie room seamless, and he adapted so well, thanks to
the great organisation of his transition and the welcoming nature of the staff. His time at Spotty Zebra has been brilliant for his physical, mental and social development; he has come on leaps and bounds since joining.

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.
