My daughter has gone to Spotty Zebra since April 2021.
Lovely nursery, the staff are all very nice, and my daughter is very happy attending here. She is always excited to go in for the day. Meal options are good, never eat the same thing more than once a week. The staff are great at updating the app
to keep us informed of how she's getting on throughout the day. They also upload learning journeys and tick off milestones, which are great.

Thank you for taking the time to complete such a lovely review! It's great to hear that you are enjoying the app and the development updates.

A wonderful nursery with a very open and honest environment. They offer loads of updates throughout the day and always update parents on where the children are in the learning stages and do regular observations outlining what has been learnt and what will be learnt next. My daughter is so bright for
her age, and I believe it's due to the nursery and how consistent they are with learning and all the different themes they incorporate. The staff are friendly, and my daughter adores them all. Would always recommend it as the nursery is clean, well-equipped and a good size for all the children!

My oldest daughter has been going to this nursery since October 2019, and my baby since August 2022. I am so happy with their development, the staff are amazing, and any issues do get sorted pretty quickly.
When I talk to my other Mummy friends, I 100% know Spotty Zebra Day Nursery is the best out

My daughter has been attending Spotty Zebra since she was a baby and really looks forward to going every time I drop her off. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, but above all, caring. You can tell when your child is smiling and happy when you pick them up at the end of the day. Lots of varied
activities and really good communication through the app.

A nursery that goes above and beyond!
As a parent, leaving and trusting your child in the care of someone else is huge!
The staff are super reassuring, communication is excellent, and the updates of your child's day on the app show how much education, attention and overall fun they have!
We couldn't
be happier, and hearing our little one name and talking about staff and friends and expressing her love, just shows we made the right choice!

We are so glad we have earnt your and your little one's trust! Music to our ears, and we are glad you feel safe and well cared for within the Spotty Zebra!

Our daughter has been attending Spotty Zebra since just before her first birthday. It is a big decision to choose who will look after the most precious thing in your life, and we could not be happier with our decision. Our daughter has absolutely thrived in the past year - she loves attending nursery.
The range of activities and theming for each month is wonderful; we are kept fully up to day with her progress and how this ties into her development. She has formed strong bonds with various staff but knows all of the staff, who always make the effort to say hello to her by name. She also loves food (which is a good job as food is one of her main passions ha!) The nursery has also been supportive of our preferences and requests we have made; thank you, Spotty Zebra - we look forward to seeing our daughter's continued development under your care.

I have nothing but good things to say about this nursery. My daughter has excelled so much in her development since being here just under three years ago. The staff are all approachable and understanding. They offer lots of parent interaction, and we enjoy the updates on the app every day that my daughter
is in the nursery. Management is really understanding and helpful, and the child appears to have great relationships with each other also, which is great.

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

After three years, it is lovely to hear that you hold our nursery in such high esteem still. Your kind words mean so much to us, and we are honoured to look after your little one! It's a blessing to work with such beautiful families and watch the children blossom.

My little girl began attending Spotty Zebras Nursery just after her first birthday. From the outset, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that she settled into the Baby Room. Staff have always been extremely approachable and professional and have a good knowledge of the Early Years Curriculum;
this is clear from the observations that are recorded and shared on the app, which is used as an excellent communication tool during the time my little girl is at nursery. We recently recieved her progress report, and it was clear that her key worker knew absolutely everything about her - from her favourite books to nursery rhymes etc. When she was ready to move to the next room, I was notified, and transition sessions were carried out to ensure that she was familiar with all adults and her new key worker. My little girl absolutely adores the staff at Spotty Zebras and has formed positive relationships in both rooms that she has been in. A huge thank you to all of your staff!

Spotty Zebra is a home-from-home for the boys. I love how much the boys both love their key workers and get so happy seeing them! The boys always have big smiles on their faces going to nursery and coming out. The nursery makes learning fun! The workers take time with parents too and let parents know
all about their child/ren.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old. The staff really care for all the children and always have the time to speak to the parents on pick up and drop off. They take an interest in children's development and ensure they undertake a range of activities suitable to the child's
age, ability and interests. The management team are approachable and responsive to any concerns and is very hands-on. Having a key person is invaluable, and all the staff have really helped with making my boy the caring and confident person he is today. He is currently in preschool, and I feel that is helping him significantly in his preparation for starting school. I would have no doubts about recommending this nursery to others.

My daughter settled without issues; they are very kind and welcoming and will help with anything you have concerns about; my daughter sees them as a second family. From being scared to go, she will now happily walk into the nursery. Thank you for everything you do for her,

Spotty Zebra is a wonderful nursery. The staff are universally excellent. No request has ever been too much for them and it’s so reassuring to know my son is not only well looked after but that they are actively aiding him in his development. They also make use of an app that lets you keep track of

My son started in preschool this September he had never attended a nursery setting before. I'm so happy how quickly he has settled, he has so much more confidence now and he’s eating better as was previously quite a fussy eater. He’s always really happy to attend nursery. The nursery has a lovely bright
big room for the children. All the nursery teachers are amazing you can see that they enjoy their job and always arranging lots of different activities for the children. The nursery has an app that you can download to your phone to check what your child’s been doing today, what they’ve eaten etc. which is really good to check how he’s been doing.

I have two children who are currently at Spotty Zebra Day Nursery and both are very happy there. My youngest started in the baby room and took a while to settle yet the staff were so lovely and patient with him. They really helped alleviate my fears of leaving an upset child, always answering honestly
with how his day had been which helped build a trusting relationship between us. He is now in the Tweenies room and I cannot fault the transition between the rooms. They chose to do it at exactly the right time for him developmentally and he settled immediately. He now runs into nursery excited to see his friends and the staff there.
My little girl is in the preschool room and has also settled well. Like any three years old she has wobbles about leaving Mummy and the staff handle this wonderfully. They are reassuring, welcoming and always happy to give her a cuddle.
A fantastic setting full of fun and joy every day.

My daughter started nursery in October 2020. She was supposed to start earlier but due to Covid, she started later. The staff are amazing. The manager has been great sorting out my dates. I had to have extra days and it was no problem.
She is very happy here and all the staff are great. My daughter
started walking there and her development is improving daily. We are due another baby next year and he will be also attending. Thanks for the hard work girls. The best nursery ever!

My son has been at Spotty Zebra Day Nursery since June 2019, he was very clingy to me so I felt, at the age of 2, he needed to grow/develop for a few hours a week away from me. He started off in the Tweenie room, then went into Toddlers and now he’s in the preschool room. To say this nursery have helped
my son is a massive understatement. It took him over 12 months to stop crying for me every time I left him but all the staff worked so hard with him and adapted to his needs, he now cries when he can’t go! All the staff at Spotty Zebra have played a massive part in his development, his speech is brilliant, he’s singing and dancing, counting and recognising letters. This is a brilliant nursery with excellent staff and facilities, I’m dreading August when he has to leave.

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.
