Little Leprechauns help children grow and meet their potential in a safe and playful environment.
Activities are planned around the interests of the children, to build a sustainable educational environment for each child to explore.
Each child is allocated a ‘key person’ who is responsible for the child’s well-being and communicates regularly with parents to keep parents informed of every aspect of their child’s day.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

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.

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.
I have nothing but positive words for all the staff at Little Leprechauns. My son comes home with a tale to tell and a smile on his face every day without fail! Massive thanks to all involved in my son's care.

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We value all feedback as we continually evaluate the service we provide. I am sorry that you feel that there has been a difference since the change in ownership. Since the new ownership, the nursery environment has been refurbished and nursery resources updated to enhance the learning experiences for the children. With regards to the charging of fees for coronavirus, fees were not charged whilst the nursery was closed or open to key workers only. When the nursery was fully open to all children from 1st June 2020, only those parents accessing our service were charged in full and this remained in place until September 2020. In all other cases of isolation, the management team have addressed and taken a balanced approach to the charging of fees. Since the change in ownership, the team, underlying ethos and culture of the nursery has remained unchanged and staff and management continue to offer the best learning experiences and service for the children.
From day...
From day one she settled so well. A testament to the team who clearly show support, kindness and calmness. The ones I speak to are fantastic.
There is no doubt she has improved on things such as speech, which is coming on really well since starting.
The transition between full time at home to nursery has been flawless and I highly recommend this nursery.
They have won awards and it's so easy to see why and how they deserve such recognition. Thank you Little Leprechauns.
I feel it was important that you don't just get parental reviews, but extended family thanks as well, noting their excellent good work.

Little Leprechauns is a fantastic, caring and nurturing nursery. My son has attended for the last 3 years and they have really helped him progress both emotionally and intellectually. The staff are great and genuinely care. Every concern we've had they've addressed with compassion and professionalism. They made me feel comfortable after lockdown with the stringent policies and measures they put in place. I really like the updates they provide and new communications they've introduced help us understand updates and topics really well.
Overall, I think the nursery is great for my daughter. Staff are brilliant and so welcoming. She has grown so much since starting.

We sent our daughter to Little Leprechauns Day Nursery 9 years ago when she was 10 months old. Until she was 4. We loved the setting, and staff that much we have sent our second daughter. She is now in preschool. The nursery is warm and welcoming and the staff are always friendly and fully committed to the care of our daughter. I have met the new owners on one occasion and they seem lovely. I am really impressed with the changes they have made to the setting and I feel it has made the setting a more inviting environment. I am very impressed with the procedures that have been put in place to make us as parents feel safe during the current situation with Covid and feel we have been fully supported by staff.
My daughter has just started nursery in preschool, she has been so welcomed. The key worker system is brilliant as my daughter is always with the same staff, this has really helped her to settle. The nursery is very clean, the presentation of the room is fun and appealing to the other children.

My eldest daughter came here and left 3 years ago. I'm as happy with the care and establishment as I was then. Couldn't be happier with the care for my daughter who was very attached to me, she is very settled now.

After viewing 3 nurseries in Chesterfield, I chose Little Leprechauns Day Nursery because of the feeling I got when I walked in there. The staff are friendly and professional. The communication is outstanding and I have no qualms in leaving my baby there. Thank you x
