My son has been attending little leprechauns nursery since he was 6 months. Ever since he has attended, that staff have always been fantastic with him and Everytime he comes home, he's learnt something new. The staff are incredible and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work and support that
they have given, not only to my son, but to me as well. Would highly recommend

Little Leprechauns is our sons second nursery. He has developed so much more than his last since moving. The staff take a real interest in my son and our family. We receive regular updates and detailed observations. Our son always comes away from nursery in a great mood, with a big smile on his face
and often with art work he has made in class. My husband and I are comfortable and confident that our son is well looked after and cared for. His transition from one room to the next was seamless and we were all supported with this too.

I have two children who attend this nursery and have done since they were 3 months old. The amount of care and attention they get off all of the staff is lovely to see. The way they teach the kids and look after them so well gives them the best possible start in life and sets them up beautifully for
their next steps in education. Could not recommend this place enough. We all absolutely love Little Leprechauns.

Nursery have been incredible with my son. When he started he was rather delayed with his speech and now, with their help, we can't get him to ever be quiet. He loves coming here and has so much fun and I can tell the staff enjoy their job aswell.

My daughter walks into nursery voluntarily, happy, every time, waving bye to mummy/daddy - SPEAKS VOLUMES!
As a parent, I value how nursery staff communicate effectively, continue personal, preferred choices and engage in all aspects of my daughter development.
I believe the staff genuinely love and
care for my child, I am at ease when shes there.

Little Leprechauns Nursery is the most perfect place for your child to go. I have had two children go to this nursery five years apart and the nursery has only got better. The staff are brilliant, will help you and your child with whatever your needs are! You are made to feel like a part of the family
which is so nice! Would recommend to everyone 10 out 10. There's not enough words to thank the staff!

I have used the nursery for both of my children since 2020 and have always felt they are well cared for in every aspect. Both of them enjoy attending including the additional activities they do on Christmas/Halloween. My son is now at school and I felt he was well prepared for this transition thanks
to Little Leprechauns. It's a home away from home for both of my children.

My child has attended since he was just over 10 months old, he is now nearly 4, I have found the nursery to be excellent, he has formed bonds with the staff and other children and I will be sad when he eventually moves on.
They always keep you informed each session of what your child has been up to
and any additional info, if you would like help in any areas they will happily work on those areas.
The app also provides Information throughout the day of what your child is doing, overall excellent experience.

App is updated promptly. One staff member in particular does the best handovers- very detailed and always happy. My child loves going to nursery and his speech has improved massively. I like the amount of pictures that get uploaded too so I can see what he's been doing every day.

This nursery has had both of my children over the years- my youngest is still in attendance. They both started under one at around 9/10 months old and the way they developed whilst here was magnificent. They have both loved coming here and most of that is because of the staff. They are dedicated, caring
and passionate about the profession. The care they give is second to none. The activities on offer are always educational yet fun and the menu is thoroughly thought out and changed to match the seasons. I love that I get photos each day as a little update on the app so I can see what they've been up to! Nothing is too much trouble and they feel like part of our extended family. Would highly recommend it and wouldn't dream of sending my child/ren anywhere else!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.911 for Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.911
  2. 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 Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
