My son has been attending Ladybirds since he was 1.5 years old; he's now 2.5 and absolutely loves it. He has learned so much with the support of the staff. All the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful, and the children love them. The rooms are great, and the staff change the themes every few weeks so the children have something new and fresh to learn about. They get plenty of fruit and veg at snack time, which I love, and it's helped my son explore foods, and now he is not a fussy eater.
Thank you so much for your review; we are so pleased to hear that you are so happy with what we provide for your son at our nursery. We are happy that we have been able to help him explore new foods at snacktimes with us too.
The equipment and learning styles, and tools they use are of a high standard. The staff are very friendly and caring, and they cater to all learning needs, making every day fun.

Thank you for your review, we do care a lot about the environment and equipment we provide and the way we teach to support the children's learning and it's nice that you have mentioned this.
Our little one struggles with being left at nursery sometimes. The staff notice this and come straight over to reassure her. She is then settled within minutes and enjoys the rest of her session without being upset.

Thank you for your review, we do try hard to make sure children feel safe and secure in our care and help them to settle the best that they can. She really does love nursery when she has settled after a few minutes.

Thank you very much for your review, our key person approach is really important to us and to you as the family to feel happy that your daughter is settled, feeling secure with her key person attachment and thriving in our care.

My two little boys currently attend Ladybirds Nursery with one leaving for big school soon and I just cannot express how amazing the staff are here. My boys absolutely love going, their confidence has grown so much, they never want to leave! Ladybirds are literally one big family, they care for my boys with all they have, always helping and supporting them, which isn’t easy! I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, they go above and beyond for everyone and my boys just adore it here.

Such a wonderful review, thank you so much for this it really means a lot. We are very happy your daughter enjoys her time here and that you feel at ease leaving her here to be cared for.
Amazing stuff who does a brilliant job. Well done to everyone and each of you. My son learned so many positive things, and enjoyed every minute in the nursery, waiting to see his favourite stuff and activities they do in every session. A huge thank you!

Since then he adapted really well, made friends and learnt a lot thanks to the amazing carers. We really admire all the work including patience and kindness that the staff at Ladybirds do for our boy. I love the easy communication with staff and all the facilities at the nursery and would highly recommend to anyone!

Highly recommended! Such a lovely, safe nursery and all the staff are lovely and very helpful. They've always got plenty of activities in and outdoors to participate in and they go all out for the kids. My little one started in the toddler room and is now in the preschool room. She's always happy at home time and has made plenty of friends! Always kept updated and connected throughout the day on their app to give you peace of mind, which I love and also get to see your child's progress, via observations and photos!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy that you and your daughter enjoy your time with us.

My daughter currently attends Ladybirds and has done since she was one years old, she is now in the preschool room which is preparing her for school next year. My son also attended from nine months old. Both my children enjoy the nursery and my son still loves to visit and chat to staff when we collect his sister.
I believe their ways of teaching and helping the children learn goes above and beyond, from stay and play to day-to-day activities during the nursery day. My daughter feels safe and happy while attending and I have full confidence in every member of staff they are all very friendly everyone is knowledgeable and always on hand if I have any questions. I love the use of the family app we gain access to as this allows me to see my daughter's journey and also upload my own observations as well as communicate with staff members. Overall Ladybirds has and will remain a big part of my children's life we love it and my new baby will also attend and I wish to work there one day.
What a lovely review, thank you for taking the time to give us your positive feedback. It's a pleasure caring for your children and having you all as part of our nursery family at Ladybirds.

All the staff at Ladybirds have been exceptional and worked with him over the months. Now he’s a happy, chatty little man that interacts and adores all the people there.
The space for the children to play is great and they are nurtured with the perfect amount of learning for each individual.
As well as helping to bring him out of his shell they’ve been fabulous, communicating with family when we’ve needed information or changes to sessions.
I honestly can not recommend this nursery enough.

My little girl finishes nursery for good tomorrow and she has been there since she was just two years old and is now almost 5! Both myself and her father find the nursery absolutely brilliant the staff are beyond supportive and caring not just in terms of my daughter but also respective of my daughter's home life and any personal events occurring. My daughter has excelled in her personal development and also developed in her social skills, numeral skills and literature skills and I could not thank the staff enough for all of their hard work these past three years even during a pandemic the support received has been amazing. The facilities that they have and provide are outstanding my daughter always comes home and talks about what she has done, played with and discussed.
Thank you so much for such positive feedback. We are glad you felt supported through the pandemic and that your child has had a great experience with us and all that we offer. Good luck to her at Big school.

What can I say about Ladybirds other than what an absolutely fantastic nursery it is! My little boy started here in September 2019 at just turned two and the first week settled really well, then from nowhere became completely inconsolable as soon as we drove into the car park. The whole team were amazing at trying different things to get him to settle enough on our visits to be left. We even tried him in the baby room but after nine weeks of visits, we decided to try again in the new year. He finally settled back in the toddler room and then successfully moved into the preschool room where he has come on leaps and bounds. The staff have helped us in so many ways with getting his EHCP and things sorted and allowed him to stay on an extra year after I held him back from starting school. It's definitely the end of an era with the last few days of term coming up, we will miss each member of staff and I wouldn't send any child anywhere else
Thank you so much for your review, it has been our pleasure to help you and your child through his time here. We wish him lots of luck at Big School.

Highly recommend this nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing. Would send my children anywhere else, my daughter was extremely nervous around people when she first started back in January 2021, she’s now completely out of her little shell and her confidence has grown majorly. The staff at ladybirds have played a big part in giving her that confidence boost and I will be forever greatful, my eldest daughter went here too back in 2017/2018 and she absolutely loved it too, I couldn’t fault this nursery in any way shape nor form. The outdoor spaces are amazing for the children too.
Thank you for your lovely review, it really means a lot to us that our children and their parents are happy with what we provide.
My daughter has separation anxiety and really struggled to leave me at first but absolutely loves coming to nursery now. The staff are so friendly welcoming and genuinely caring! By far the best nursery I’ve ever used.

There isn’t a bad word or point I can make about this nursery with the service we have received so far. My son started in January and has adored going to nursery ever since. They build on his confidence and personality, and the communication we get is brilliant between all staff who interact with him, but especially his key person. I know he is very safe and very happy. I plan on hopefully putting my new baby in when I return to work after the summer, as I know how well they are cared for here. The app is fab too, and I love being updated with pictures and artwork for the fridge.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that your son and yourself love our nursery so much.

Ladybirds Nursery has got to be the greatest nursery in the whole of Runcorn. I can testify to this as when selecting a nursery for my boys I extensively researched all the companies in the town. The facilities are second to none, there’s so much space inside and out. There is a vast selection of toys and educational apparatus for the children and the playground is equipped with all kinds of outdoor playing equipment. The staff are fantastic with the children and keep them well engaged. They send you regular updates on your child’s activities throughout the day, what they’ve had to eat etc and there’s always a healthy selection of food available for the children. Our two boys have been so happy at Ladybirds and with our youngest son starting school and saying goodbye last week we can honestly say we’re all going to miss all the staff there. It’s been a pleasure having you look after our boys these last few years and I’m sure we’ll see you all again in the near future.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback on our nursery and our team, we are so pleased with your kind words and wish both of your boys all the best for their future.
