Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so happy with the standard of care that our baby receives from all the staff, but especially one lady. The thought of handing over my baby to someone else to look after all day really upset me, but as soon as we started at Little Leprechauns all of the staff were so welcoming, caring and professional
that my worries soon dissipated. Every member of staff that we see knows my baby's name and says hello when we arrive, and to see him settle so well is a testament to the love and care provided by all of the staff. He is learning so many new skills due to the varied and well-planned activities that the staff run every day for the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

This is my second child to go through this nursery and I am so pleased that I have sent both my children here.
The nursery staff are always so welcoming and friendly, I leave them every day knowing they are safe and well looked after.

My son has been here since September. And I can't believe how quickly he settled in and how much he has come on since. The staff are amazing and understanding. I can't thank you enough for what you do for my son. He loves coming here. Big thank you to one staff member in particular who goes above and
beyond with my son!

My daughter started at Little Leprechauns in January, I cannot believe how much she has learnt and developed already, from shapes and numbers to colours and animals and the sounds they make. I cannot thank the staff at Little Leprechauns enough for the help and support they offer her, she loves to attend!
I cannot recommend Little Leprechauns enough, knowing my child is in a safe and secure environment that challenges her daily with a variety of fun and educational activities. Thank you Little Leprechauns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Little Leprechauns Day Nursery for around a year, we moved him from another nursery where he wouldn’t settle after months of attending. Since attending Little Leprechauns, he is a completely different child, his confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and he is always happy to
come to nursery, coming in with a beaming smile every day, I love that all the staff know his name, even the ones that don’t work in the preschool room! The nursery is so accommodating, recently we have been through a tough time at home and everyone was so supportive and helped out fitting us in for extra sessions where needed, even at short notice. Our son always enjoys his food here and always comes home telling us all about his day, we love that we get a photo posted on the app every session he attends. The variety of activities is fantastic and he is always doing something different, including trips. Will be sad in September when our son leaves for school, we can’t thank the staff enough for what they do!

Couldn’t ask for a better bunch of wonderful ladies to care for my daughter. She loves it at Little Leprechauns Day Nursery. They are all so informative on what’s happened throughout the day and we particularly love how they take her out on little trips round the town centre. 10/10.

Absolutely incredible nursery, wouldn’t have my children anywhere else. I sing this nursery's praises from the rooftops when anyone asks for nursery recommendations. Both of my children love attending nursery and walk in without as much as a bye! They are always well fed with nutritious food and fruit
snacks, regularly have second helpings and are always taking part in really fun, engaging and educational activities. They are also really attentive to any health needs my children have. I know my children love this nursery so much and it’ll be a very sad day when they move on to nursery.

Everything here is very good. My daughter just moved here and feels very good. The child looks cleaner when she comes home from school. The teachers are very friendly. Even though I don't know English, everything is fine here.

This is a lovely nursery, my niece thrives here. Her speech and communication skills have come on so much and she loves all of the staff. When I collect I receive lots of feedback and know exactly how she’s been throughout the day. Thank you for all that you do.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter has grown in both skill and confidence since starting preschool. I am very pleased we made the move and have a second child starting in the baby room soon.
I couldn't recommend Little Leprechauns more.

Knowing that our daughter is safe, loved, and taught well is all we could ask for as busy working parents. She is always enthusiastic to go to nursery and met with a smile. The staff understand each child and are supportive of parents too. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience of school.
P.S. Our little girl can't get enough of the food on offer; she nearly always has seconds!

We have had 2 children at the nursery during this year. The support and hard work helped my son transition to school. Our daughter has also received extremely good care from being a baby. She has developed incredibly. The staff are very friendly and the nursery is managed very well.

We're so glad we picked this nursery. The staff are excellent and very attentive. I love that the staff seem to know all the children's names regardless of what room they're in, which is great for drop off as my little one has always been welcomed with his name and a big smile no matter who's on reception.
The variety of activities they do is really great and I can see how much my child enjoys his time there. The staff are very kind, especially the baby room manager. During a recent professional photoshoot, my child became very anxious. The nursery staff offered to take photos in the nursery, which ended up as a mini DIY photo shoot by the baby room manager, resulting in 16 plus photos of my little one laughing and smiling in his nursery uniform. You can see how happy he is and how comfortable he is with the staff. It was such a kind gesture. The staff love what they do and it really shows. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little boy.

My son has been going here for just over a year and he has come on so much since he started! As a lockdown baby, he was so behind in his social skills and speech but even just a couple of months there and he showed a big improvement. They are always so attentive to his needs and so patient with him,
even on his bad days. He's always so happy to run on in every day he is there. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Little Leprechauns day nursery is 5 star! I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else! My child has been going since being 1 year old, he has grown in confidence and comes home after every session with stories to tell of what he has been doing.
Being milk intolerant, his needs have always been met and never
overlooked. Meals are all home-cooked and healthy.
When my son started attending he was very shy and not used to being around others after the pandemic, little leprechauns always reassured me and nothing was never too much hassle. They have patience and my son always says they are his best friends. I will be sad when he leaves next year. Fantastic nursery and setting.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for over a year now and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. All the staff are lovely and going to nursery is the highlight of her week! Knowing your child is in a safe, supportive and happy environment is priceless. Especially as she is developing
so much too! I'm so pleased she attends Little Leprechauns, I would (and have!) recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in Chesterfield.

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.
