All 3 of my children have attended Zipadees over the last 7 years and each of them has loved their nursery experiences, my boys ask to go back now rather than go to school as they miss all the messy play activities!! It's a fantastic nursery, very flexible with hours and session times, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and it has a warm homely feeling. Highly recommend!

Zipadee’s Day Nursery is such a lovely nursery. My two children went here and absolutely loved it. The care and commitment the staff have for my children is amazing. I would not send my children anywhere else. Highly recommended to others.
