Overall Experience

Early learners is outstanding!
After having a traumatic time with another local nursery I wasn't sure I wanted to put my child into another nursery, as soon as I went into early learners my mind was put at ease. My daughter started in preschool and Emma has been incredible with her. Her confidence

grew and she come on leaps and bounds. I'm so grateful for the team at early learners not just for doing the best for my daughter but for also listening and understanding my worries.
Best decision I ever made, thank you so much x

Early Learners Nursery Sutton
from Gavin R (Father of Child) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our children. Both of our kids have attended, and the staff have always been welcoming, supportive, and caring.
Our first child thrived here - her speech developed so much, and they even helped with potty training. She loved every moment and always looked forward

to nursery days.
With our second child, we couldn't get a place straight away and had to try another nursery, which unfortunately didn't meet his needs. As soon as we moved him here, the difference was incredible. The manager quickly noticed he might need extra developmental support and guided us in the right direction, communicating with us every step of the way.
This nursery has supported not only our children but also us as a family. We're so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend them - without doubt the best in St Helens.

Overall Experience

Early Learners are so amazing with my daughter, as a first time mum and having to return to work I was so anxious about sending her to a nursery but the girls reassured me and were so comforting and helpful towards Miley, she's absolutely loves going nursery now and I feel comfortable leaving her with

the workers. Thanks so much for everything x

Overall Experience

I am impressed with the knowledge they have about our child and the communication each day about how she has been.
My baby loves going to nursery and ever day I got to collect her she's happy and always happy when we drop her off in the morning.
I am very happy with the food she eats and helps to

introduce her to new foods.
Only thing I would suggest is more photos, and updates on what activities/learning they have been doing in the day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has thrived since coming to this new nursery setting. She has previously attended another nursery but we was dissatisfied with their service and my daughter was unhappy there. My daughter was a little unsettled at the start of her journey at ELN due to issues at her last nursery. However

I can drop my daughter off now, without tears and she looks genuinely happy to attend there. The nursery practitioners are lovely. They are really caring and attentive. They give thorough handovers and their professionalism is admirable. The nursery manager is very welcoming and is extremely helpful and will try to assist/resolve any queries that I have had. The nursery manager also goes above and beyond and tries to accommodate the best they can. The facilities are inviting and very clean. I always recommend ELN Wigan. I would suggest that I would like to have more of an update of the activities the children do in the day time and more photos on the app

Overall Experience

The most lovely nursery. I found it so hard looking for a nursery for my little girl, and the moment I walked into Early Learners I felt at home. All the staff have such big smiles and cannot do enough for you and your children. The best decision I made was going with this nursery. My little girl has

just turned 1 and she is thriving at Early Learners, and I feel so comfortable leaving her there whilst I go to work, knowing she is happy and well looked after is all I could ever want. Communication with the nursery is also brilliant.

Overall Experience

Amazing teachers in every classroom that really helped my non verbal son enjoy nursery they was great with him, unfortunately for children with Sen needs it's really hard to get the manager to complete referrals, after meeting with communicate speech and language last week my sons referral was only

done in October when it was supposed to be done the year before, I was told his referral for this was lost as they changed over, his referral for woodveiw for autism/adhd after waiting a year for it to be sent off I had to get in touch with the health visitors to do this for me instead, I messaged weekly at one point with a lots of messages about this being ignored for weeks at a time, my son has now left to start school next week and his ehcp as of last week was still not sent off, only after me messaging last week for updates was I asked for further proofs I was never informed of, only received 3 of his monthly Sen reports, overall great teachers and nursery if not needing Sen referrals

Reply from Hayden McCann, Director at Early Learners Nursery Widnes

We apologise that you were unhappy with the SEN support received. After reviewing this further, your speech and language request/referral was discussed with yourself and submitted in a timely manner. However, the Local Authority choose to change their speech and language service this caused significant delays in cases being actioned. The manager has been in regular commucntaion with SLT about speeding up cases. However, STL have failed to set/ provide assessment dates. The manager has escalated this. We can appreciate this process can be frustrating, however we do support all children across the setting to the best of our abilities, including children with SEN. The referral process for EHCP's does take time unfortunately, particularly the evidence gathering from professionals. The delays are caused by the high level of SEN across Halton and their ability to action these within a responsible time. We can confirm your child's EHCP has been applied on time in preparation for school.

from Curtis S (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 18 month old son has thrived at nursery, his excitement everyday to get out of the house and ready makes his parents happy. The staff greet us at the door with a smile and make him feel welcome. His speaking and recognition of names of things shock us everyday and he is constantly picking up new

skills. We couldn't recommend early learners eccleston highly enough.

Overall Experience

Early Learners Eccleston is a fantastic nursery and all the staff are very kind. My son has been attending there since January 2025 and he loves it. We are kept up to date with his progress and they do lots if fun activities when he is there. One member of staff in particular is so passionate and caring,

she goes above and beyond for all the children. I was also informed in advance of the transition my son will make from the baby to toddler room. This put my mind at ease to know he is familiar to where he will be going with the rest of his class together. I highly recommend this nursery, thank you for all your hard work.

Overall Experience

My two children joined earlier this year having been at another nursery. They settled in very quickly and that was down to the friendly and welcoming staff working at Early Learners. My children have a great time at the nursery as they do a range of different activities every day which always involve

lots of fun.

Overall Experience

my daughter started at Early Learners in April and she has come along leaps and bounds in her development. She's catching up in her speech delay, knows all her colours, started counting to ten and recognises some letters. Her communication and building relationships with other children has progressed

beautifully and she loves the staff. The staff have always been so happy and communicative with myself.

Overall Experience

Removed my non verbal son from the care of this nursery. After a really positive start there with the previous manager and the room leader, we were soo happy as parents because we had anxiety about our son being in someone else's care.
There was a change in management around April 2025, and my sons

key worker "left". The difference within weeks was night and day. From being excited to do his routine and go to early learners to screaming in terror when he was on the bus on the way there....
Me and my sons mum tried a formal meeting with the manager. She is rude, obnoxious, and didn't know what was documented at the start of year with my non verbal son. She didn't offer any resolution, support, and didn't give us any confidence in her or the nursery during that meeting. After she listened to our issues she actually stated that she wouldn't bring her own kids here!!! 3 short sessions later it was very clear that nothing was changing and something was seriously upsetting our little boy we took him out.

from Robert M (Father of Child) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Early Learners since she was 14 months old. Initially we were pleased with what the nursery provided. Our experience with the baby room was very positive and staff helped to ensure our daughter settled, in particular the Nursery Practitioner. However, as she has moved through

each of the rooms, there have been a lot of inconsistencies. Communication via the parent app is not always updated fully. Observations/pictures of our daughter have been few and far between. There has also been a high staff turnover. Although, we would like to thank two other Nursery Practitioners for having a lovely relationship with our daughter. The nursery has been under new management recently and new staff have been employed. One new member of staff has been a great addition. We have seen some improvements in curriculum and resources for the children. However, communication is still inconsistent. As parents to young children this is something that we value. Overall, our daughter is happy in nursery and making good progress.

from Charlotte K (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Early learners is an absolutely outstanding nursery. My child has SEN needs and every single member of staff have gone above and beyond to help him settle, learn and develop. They quickly and efficiently see his needs and address them. With their awareness and dedication, they have helped him to discover

a new little world, as a family we are forever grateful. My other child is able to say how much she loves going to nursery, the fun she has had and the therapeutic relationships she has built with nursery staff. She has also come on leaps and bounds. She has also been fully supported in all aspects of her development.
