Excellent nursery. On her first day they took photos, so me and dad could see she had settled down which was really thoughtful. All the staff are friendly and really put you at ease. They create different ideas of doing things with the children. I really haven't got a bad thing to say about them. Thank
you for looking after my baby so well.

I was very anxious about my 11-month-old starting nursery as he has not coped very well during the settling in sessions. The staff were very kind and always did their best to help both my son and me. He is now settling in and seems very happy when I pick him up. The staff always take the time to chat
with us and update us regarding how he has been that day.

My daughter has come along amazingly, the staff are great with her and you can tell how much she loves being here. She learns new things every day from playing and it's great to see.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

I moved my daughter to this nursery on recommendation. I took her to see the nursery and she loved it. All the staff were very helpful and understanding of our situation. My daughter has learned so much being at this nursery and is always happy when she comes home. I would recommend this nursery to
friends and family as I feel my daughter is safe, and when she is picked up, I am always told exactly what she has been up to and has eaten.

We now have two children attending Little Leprechauns three days a week and we find the staff very friendly, caring and professional at all times. Each and every member of staff is 100% approachable to discuss our children's care. They are proactive and conscientious and we are wholly confident with
the environment they provide.

By far the choice I made moving my son to this nursery, his progression since moving here is absolutely amazing. Staff are always polite and friendly and how they give you feedback after every day at nursery helps so much with working together to help the kids progress further and better. My son loves
going to Little Leprechauns Day Nursery he's such a happy little boy there, I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone they are brilliant!

Little Leprechauns is a fantastic nursery providing all the assistance and support my son requires as he's partially deaf. They have a really good range of facilities both inside and out. The staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Overall a very well run nursery :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After having a bad experience at a previous nursery, we'd kind of lost all faith when it came to nurseries. After hearing such good things about Little Leprechauns I gave them a call and explained our situation, and within 24 hours they'd made a place available for my son. Since day 1 we loved it. They
have very low staff turnover which is always a good sign and its clear why. All staff are friendly and welcoming and are all obviously passionate about their jobs and the children they care for. The nursery became a home away from home for him. We were very sad to say goodbye to them in January and will miss all staff greatly! Would highly recommend them to anyone a bit dubious about nurseries (like we were) as they will soon diminish all your worries. Its been a pleasure to be apart of Little Leprechauns!

Great nursery. Always really helpful and caring. My daughter always has a wonderful time. Lots of fun activities which are education but link to her interests - getting my daughter prepared for big school. Really happy with the menu, activities, outings, and trust the staff completely. All qualified
and 1st aid trained. Great Would highly recommend and do so to my friends.

This is the second nursery my daughter has attended and is definitely the best. I have much better communication from staff and there appears to be lots of variety with activities. The staff are great with my daughter and it is highly recommended.

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.
