Little Leprechauns was my first choice for many reasons. I wanted the absolute best for my daughter and this nursery ticked all of the boxes for me. As a teacher, I understand the importance of the relationship between parents and nursery and I can say that as a family, we have always felt important
and that nothing is too much trouble. The standard of care is first class and I know that my daughter is in the very best hands whilst I am at work. Excellent nursery!

Our child loves nursery, all the staff are brilliant and you leave your child in safe hands. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents looking for somewhere that is a warm and welcoming environment for their children.

Staff and management are really good and are great with the children. My son enjoys nursery and has really come on. He has good bonds with the staff and has grown in confidence since starting. A great nursery all round.

To leave my baby with people I didn't know whilst I went back to work has been the hardest thing I've ever done, but I can see she has built strong bonds with staff. The activities she takes part in shows me she has lots of fun at nursery and that's all I want as a mother. The fact she has come on in
leaps and bounds is a bonus. My child is happy so I can go to work happy knowing she is safe and cared for. Little leprechauns feels like an extension of my family already. I can't recommend them enough. They are always honest and truthful about how my little girl has been and I think that in itself speaks volumes.

After much research and visits to other nurseries, I chose Little Leprechauns for my sons as it stood out from the rest. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly and most of them have been with the nursery for some years. I recommend Little Leprechauns to everyone!

My grandson has come on in leaps and bounds and has an amazing bond with his key worker. He enjoys every aspect of the nursery, we have also found he will try a wider range of foods. I would highly recommend Little Leprechauns Day Nursery.

I have two sons that have both attended this wonderful nursery. I feel that my children have had the highest standard of care. My youngest son that attends the nursery at the moment thinks all the staff are wonderful and he can't wait to see them in a morning. His confidence has come on so much since
starting at the nursery . I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started here in November after moving nurseries. My son loves this nursery, his speech has developed more than I could hope for! He goes in confidently and loves his days there. They try so many different foods. I love hearing about his day as it's never the same. This nursery is like being at
home, they follow the same routines and handle behaviour like we do, keeping it consistent. Can't rave about it enough. Family and friends have noticed the difference in my son, showing the positive changes in him.

My two children have gained so much confidence. Every member of staff is so kind. They give the most outstanding care. It is like a big family even the owners and manager take the time to stop and talk. The key workers work hard to make sure care plans are up to date. Every day the staff give you information
on how the children are. They give the very best care to all the children who attend.

Review from Katherine P (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at this nursery are always so happy and welcoming. From my first visit, I felt it was such a warm nursery and the staff are very honest and knowledgeable.
My little girl loves the activities and they plan through her interests so she's always excited to go knowing there are activities she
loves. My little one enjoys outdoor play and the fact that they have a mud kitchen is the highlight of her day!! I hear all about the mud pies and how 'yummy' they are!
Leaving my daughter whilst I work was hard at the beginning as I wasn't sure how she would settle but I shouldn't have worried. In fact, she only gets upset now when it's time to leave!!
Her key person is brilliant and tells me all about her progress and we attend parents evenings and celebrations so my husband gets a chance to be involved too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent setting which my 3 grandchildren have attended over the years and my 4th grandchild now attends.
Staff are really friendly and always make time to tell me about the children's day and also their progress educationally.
The staff are all highly qualified and I find it reassuring that they
are all first aid trained. The ladies in the office (managers) are always there and will happily make time to speak about anything at all with me.
Cannot recommend this nursery enough. My grandchildren are my world and knowing they are safe and happy in someone else's care is essential. Thank you Little Leprechauns.

My grandson has attended this day nursery since he was 9 weeks old, he is now 3 years. They have always offered a wide range of learning activities as well as play and this shows. He is always surprising us with what he has learnt. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming and make time to talk
if you need them. (they're like our extended family)

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.
