Review from Poppy G (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I absolutely love our nursery for my little girl. She started off in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. She has learnt so much and the staff are always so friendly and kind. I've watched my little girls confidence grow since day one and her speech has come on massively.
I know she has lots of fun every day with activities, outdoor play and always enjoys her food.

I'm currently pregnant with a little boy and I can't wait for him to also join Early Learners when he's old enough. Thank you Early Learners!

Overall Experience

My daughter had previously been at another nursery and couldn't settle, constantly spending the whole day sad and out of sorts to the point of them contacting me to send her home.

Since starting at Early Learners Widnes she has thrived. A very short settling in period, she was happy going in and happy when picked up. I was kept up to date with her day and she ALWAYS told me how much fun she's been having when she gets home. Katy, Liv, Chelsea, Leah and Julie have made a genuine difference to my little girls social and emotional development. They are super supportive and and I'm so grateful.

Overall Experience
The facilities have always been wonderful but the new preschool room is fantastic. The transition was handled in such a lovely way and my daughter was so excited.

Staff are so knowledgeable but also very very kind and so much fun. I'm in my fifth year as a customer of this nursery and I cannot rate it highly enough!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Early Learners since February 25 and is currently in the baby room soon to transition into toddler room. I cannot say a bad word about the work and the effort the girls have put into making my son's nursery life feel like a home from home. He enjoys coming to nursery every day and is always happy when I see him through the window at pick up. He has come on developmentally massively the last couple of weeks and I feel like it's all down to the staff and encouraging him everyday in what he does. My daughter also attended Early learners until she started school in 2023 after moving her from another local nursery, they made us feel welcome from the get go and the girls still make a fuss of her when she comes to do pick ups and drop off with me now. It just goes to show they truly value each child they see. They do some great activities with the children everyday and we always have pictures to look at from their day. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough :)

Thank you, Emma and Julie, for all that you do!

Overall Experience
Early learners is outstanding!
After having a traumatic time with another local nursery I wasn't sure I wanted to put my child into another nursery, as soon as I went into early learners my mind was put at ease. My daughter started in preschool and Emma has been incredible with her. Her confidence grew and she come on leaps and bounds. I'm so grateful for the team at early learners not just for doing the best for my daughter but for also listening and understanding my worries.

Best decision I ever made, thank you so much x

Overall Experience

Amazing teachers in every classroom that really helped my non verbal son enjoy nursery they was great with him, unfortunately for children with Sen needs it's really hard to get the manager to complete referrals, after meeting with communicate speech and language last week my sons referral was only done in October when it was supposed to be done the year before, I was told his referral for this was lost as they changed over, his referral for woodveiw for autism/adhd after waiting a year for it to be sent off I had to get in touch with the health visitors to do this for me instead, I messaged weekly at one point with a lots of messages about this being ignored for weeks at a time, my son has now left to start school next week and his ehcp as of last week was still not sent off, only after me messaging last week for updates was I asked for further proofs I was never informed of, only received 3 of his monthly Sen reports, overall great teachers and nursery if not needing Sen referrals

Reply from Hayden McCann, Director at Early Learners Nursery Widnes

We apologise that you were unhappy with the SEN support received. After reviewing this further, your speech and language request/referral was discussed with yourself and submitted in a timely manner. However, the Local Authority choose to change their speech and language service this caused...

Review from Charlotte K (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Early learners is an absolutely outstanding nursery. My child has SEN needs and every single member of staff have gone above and beyond to help him settle, learn and develop. They quickly and efficiently see his needs and address them. With their awareness and dedication, they have helped him to discover a new little world, as a family we are forever grateful. My other child is able to say how much she loves going to nursery, the fun she has had and the therapeutic relationships she has built with nursery staff. She has also come on leaps and bounds. She has also been fully supported in all aspects of her development.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending Early Learners Nursery for the past 6 months he has come on leaps and bounds with his speech since starting and his self-help skills. The staff are all so caring and supportive; nothing is ever to much to ask, and we felt welcomed the second we walked into the building. The staff also plan beautifully thought-out stay and play for parents to attend each month. We are updated daily about what he is doing and receive pictures regularly.

All of our 4 kids have gone to Early Learners over the past 18 years. They have always been well looked after, learnt a lot and also as important to all that, they have been very happy going day to day. Facilities are constantly evolving and improving and the staff are amazing at what they do.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend this nursery enough! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and reassured that our son would be in the best hands. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child's well-being and development.

The environment is nurturing and engaging, with a great mix of learning and play. My son has flourished since joining-his confidence has grown, and he comes home happy every day. The communication from the nursery is fantastic, keeping us updated on his progress and daily experiences.

It's clear that the team are passionate about what they do, and we feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for our little one. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching setting for their child

Overall Experience

My baby started nursery in January, she was so shy and not comfortable around new people, she has come out of her shell so much since starting in baby class, she does great with her food and I'm constantly told how independent she is becoming. Her key workers are great with her, and are brilliant at communicating with us about how she is doing. My little girl now happily reaches out to them when we drop her off in the morning which is lovely to see and allows us to go to work knowing that she's happy and in good hands!

My daughter has recently started in the babies room at early learners and I can honestly say they have been amazing!
The babies room team have been so reassuring and supportive of the transition particularly as things have been challenging.

The communication with customer care has been great and have been quick and responsive over any queries.

My child absolutely loves this nursery, all the staff are amazing, extremely caring and really take the time to get to know our family as well as our little boy. All activities are planned really well and I love how I receive lovely pictures and observations of what he has been doing. I am so happy with his progress and I am glad we chose early learners for his early years education.
