Review from Sarah P (Grandmother of Child) published on 18 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandaughter recently started at Little Leprechauns, a hidden treasure in the town centre! The staff are not only working in adverse conditions with Coronavirus but also seem so nice and competent, it really means a lot to us knowing my Grandaughter is in such a positive environment.
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 Experience 5.0 out of 5
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

At first, when my little boy started, he was nervous about coming. A few months in he loves coming, feels very happy and comfortable there. All the staff are lovely and very welcoming. Couldn't have asked for a better nursery.

Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery. My daughter always comes home clean, full and happy. She adores the lovely and caring staff. She also loves the food and as a child who struggles with food, this is brilliant. We can't thank the staff enough.

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.
