Staff are wonderful and do a great job looking after all the children. My son loves it here which puts me at ease knowing he's well looked after while I'm at work. I can always tell he's enjoyed his busy morning playing with friends and taking part in activities as he is always ready for a nap as soon

My son has been at this nursery for about 1.5 years & he absolutely loves going in the mornings. He often talks about the team at home & it's lovely to see how excited he is. He's built a really good bond with his key worker & I've loved seeing his confidence grow so much. His move into the Tweenies
room at the beginning of the year went really smoothly & the staff made it easy for him.
The team are brilliant at keeping us updated with detailed notes about what he's been doing, meals, naps & activities. We receive so many observations daily. They've been really supportive with his speech & potty training, & it's been such a help as a first time parent to see how much he's progressed.
There's a great mix of things to do, from art & sensory play to outdoor time & exploring the world around them. The meals are homemade, balanced & varied. When my son was temporarily lactose intolerant they made adjustments & his meals were great. I definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

From the moment I walked through the doors to be shown around i was made to feel really welcome by the staff at Early Learners. The deputy manager was really knowledgeable and answered any queries I had which completely put me at ease.
When my son started I was blown away by how much he enjoyed attending
this nursery! The staff provide lots of busy things for the children to do both indoors and outdoors and they have developed a lovely bond with my son!
Communication is fantastic from the staff and manager aswell!

My daughter loves coming to nursery, she has made beautiful friendships, lovely connections with her nursery teachers, and has also come on leaps and bounds in different aspects of her life.
It is also great for parents/carers who need to drop off earlier as they open from 7am which has been a great
relief for me. The communication is also a great. Both the staff on site and the main customer service answer very quickly and are always happy to answer any questions you have. I would 100% recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for their child/children.

We are very happy with this nursery and the care our child receives here. The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely interested in each child's development. From the moment we enrolled, they made both our child and our family feel welcome and supported.
The nursery provides a safe, clean and stimulating
environment where children can learn through play and exploration. There are always a variety of creative activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor play and early learning exercises that help build confidence, social skills and curiosity.
Communication with parents is excellent. The team regularly updates us about our child's day, including what they have learned, how they have interacted with others and any milestones they are reaching. It is reassuring to know that our child is not only cared for but also encouraged to grow and develop.
We have noticed a wonderful improvement in our child's confidence, independence and communication since attending this nursery.

My son has been attending since January and I honestly couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are absolutely amazing - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. The rooms are always clean, well-organised, and fresh. It's clear that a lot of care
goes into maintaining a safe and welcoming environment. I also really appreciate the daily updates and photos. It's so reassuring to see what he's been doing throughout the day and how much he's enjoying himself. Especially as a nervous parent who felt like i would be mithering the nursery however their app is updated throughout the day and my daily check in message is always answered. We've seen such positive growth in him already. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional setting for their child. Food menus are great and alternate weekly and i get updated after every meal how much my son has had to eat. Prices are very fair!

Since touring the nursery before it opened we were impressed with the facilities. Since our daughter has started one morning a week, she is really settled and I know she is well cared for. She throughly enjoys the baby classroom. She is aware of her key person and she adores the staff. Our daughter
has a milk allergy and the policies and procedures in place have been great to ensure she doesn't have milk in her food.
Management are always helpful and able to assist me if I have questions or queries. I can get in touch via phone or the parent admin app.
As a parent I enjoyed the stay and play sessions I feel this is a great way to get to know the staff and the routines in the baby classroom.
The parent admin app is a fantastic way to communicate with parents about your child's day and see what they have had for lunch and access the observations on your child. I enjoy reading the observations and seeing pictures of our daughter.
I am very pleased overall with the experience of nursery

I absolutely love our nursery for my little girl. She started off in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. She has learnt so much and the staff are always so friendly and kind. I've watched my little girls confidence grow since day one and her speech has come on massively.
I know she has lots
of fun every day with activities, outdoor play and always enjoys her food.
I'm currently pregnant with a little boy and I can't wait for him to also join Early Learners when he's old enough. Thank you Early Learners!

Early Learners Nursery Eccleston is such a wonderful nursery. The staff are extremely nurturing and invest so much time and effort to truly get to know the children here. Our little girl has settled in beautifully at this nursery and she thoroughly enjoys going as she is always happy and smiley when
being dropped off! We feel that the nursery has helped our little girl reach her developmental milestones and thrive due to the fantastic provision and care that is provided! Thank you so much!

Honestly I can't praise the Wigan branch enough. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds from baby room through to toddler room. The team have been fantastic and unbelievably helpful with everything. Even the Manager when I was first applying helped me out and pointed me in the right directions as
I had never had to apply for childcare before. Amazing place and amazing team! You should be proud.

My daughter had previously been at another nursery and couldn't settle, constantly spending the whole day sad and out of sorts to the point of them contacting me to send her home.
Since starting at Early Learners Widnes she has thrived. A very short settling in period, she was happy going in and
happy when picked up. I was kept up to date with her day and she ALWAYS told me how much fun she's been having when she gets home. Katy, Liv, Chelsea, Leah and Julie have made a genuine difference to my little girls social and emotional development. They are super supportive and and I'm so grateful.

The staff at EL have been nothing short of exceptional. Our son started in October 2025. We were so nervous about putting him into nursery, but knew as soon as we stepped foot into the building that it would be the one for us. The staff are genuine, nurturing and passionate about looking after babies
and children. The care & love they show is amazing and we always know what he's been up to via pics and regular, detailed updates. Myles doesn't even look back when he enters the room and this makes me feel at ease that he clearly feels so secure there. His giddy dance & smiley face on arrival tells me everything I need to know about the wonderful staff at EL. Week by week, we are so grateful & impressed in the way he has developed with their guidance and support. Thank you.
