I can never fault this nursery for what they have done for my daughter over the last seven months. She has learnt so much whilst being there and is always so excited to go there. My daughter has been to three different nurseries and Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is by far the best place she has been
to.

Both my children attend Little Leprechauns Day Nursery and absolutely love it. Right from the start they have always been passionate, friendly and helpful towards our family. The staff are great and when our eldest leaves to go to big school in September. I know she will miss it. Luckily she can still
visit when dropping off her brother. Would definitely recommend.

I am so proud of how well my son has come on from day one of joining Little Leprechauns. He is always happy to go and is always excited to tell me what he's been doing when I pick him up. The staff work so hard with the children doing shows for the parents and praising the children for their efforts
too. I'm so grateful to all the staff for everything they do. Everything you would want a nursery to be Little Leprechauns is. Thank you.

I looked around a number of nurseries and chose Little Leprechauns because it had a lovely feel about it. The staff are very calm, positive and loving. My little boy settled very quickly after a good transition. Staff take their time to talk you at hand over, and my little boy gets very excited when
we turn the corner and park on the road where the nursery is. He has done some great activities and brought some lovely things home with him. We loved the birthday card that he made for his brother. Thank you to all staff that support my little one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have only positive things to say about this nursery. From first enquiring about sending my son to his first day the experience with the staff was fantastic. We were offered several settling in sessions before he started properly which made me feel much more at ease about sending him. All the staff
I have dealt with have been polite, informative and very friendly. My son comes out of nursery smiling after having a great day. He has learnt to sing new nursery rhymes as well as lots of other new skills thanks to the care of his nursery teachers. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place to send their children!

My daughter loves it at Little Leprechauns. I moved her from another nursery and she has come on so much in her time here. She always has fun and has been really well supported by the staff to develop and improve her speech which she struggling with. The staff update us regularly about how she is getting
on and what they are doing. I would have no reservations in recommending the nursery.

I'm very happy with this nursery. I see my child is happy and he always tells me what he does. At the end of the day, the staff tells me a short summary of that day (about activities, games, food).

More than happy with the care provided over the last year and a bit! Our son has food allergies and we can't say a bad word about the way they handled it. We will miss it when he goes to school.

The nursery is a great space for my 15 month old daughter. She smiles when she arrives, is happy to walk in by herself and is always happy on collection.
Most staff appear happy and pleasant, they always have lovely things to say about my daughter's day.
For both my children to have been so happy
at the nursery, I am more than pleased to continue using the service and will recommend others do so too.

Wasn’t the same when the owners changed. Old ones were lovely and approachable. Thought 60 per cent fees for coronavirus for no service was unfair. But will say the staff are good and cannot fault how they look after and care for children.

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.
