  • Little Achievers Day Nursery, Preston
Little Achievers Day Nursery is a Rosy Apple Childcare facility that has built up a strong reputation within the local community for quality early years learning and childcare in which parents can feel confident and secure.

Little Achievers Day Nursery uses the Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Years Childcare and Education, a philosophy that uses four key principles to focus on a child's natural development. The approach is both child-centred and directed, taking the philosophy that learning must make sense to the child in order to be effective and meaningful.

Little Achievers Day Nursery is registered for eighty-two children in total and has purposely designed outdoor spaces. Each child has their own key carer who looks to ensure early years’ potential is achieved. The nursery is split into 3 age ranges however the rooms can flow easily to aid transition for children when moving to new groups.

The nursery was awarded the E-quality Counts award by the National Day Nurseries Association in August 2015.

Learning journeys for all children are offered both to see the progress their child is making at nursery via photographs, written comments and communication, along with being a beautiful portfolio of memories for the future.

All nursery pre-school children are able to access forest school at Little Achievers Urban Forest School Nursery, within their timetable of nursery attendance.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery at the age of 6months. He was a very attached child and did not live to leave his familiar environment. The team at Little Achievers were amazing at making both my son and us parents at ease.
He thrived within weeks and has grown into a confident young boy.
The team at Little
Achievers have been great throughout the years and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I have always found the staff to be very professional and courteous. They always give an informative report of what my grandson has done during the day. My grandson enjoys coming to the nursery and we always are able to see that he is well cared for. He has come a long way since joining nursery and
he has met his goals well with the support of the staff.

The children have lots of things to play with, they go on trips - zoo, parks, there are educational things to do and they made cards and things at easter, Christmas. The staff are very friendly and caring. The children are treated as individuals and have access to age appropriate toys. It is a safe
and friendly environment and excellent nursery and every credit to the staff.

Great nursery, lovely staff. All the kids seem happy, my grandaughter loves it and so did her sister.
They do lots of things with the kids, taking them on outings, teaching them loads. The nursery is clean and well looked after.

My duaghter was starting to come to this nursery was scared about everything but the staff were great and comforting and gave her a cuddle when I was leaving. She likes to come here and I've never heard her saying that she does not want to come. When she comes home she tells me what she did during the
day.
Says she likes the days when she was baking cakes and painting some pictures.
The chef is very friendly and forthcoming if I have a question or query. I am glad that my daughter comes here because I can see that she enjoys it.

Was sceptical about sending my daughter to nursery at a young age, but so glad I did eventually. Amazing staff and she’s come on loads educationally and as a person. She’s due to attend school in September and I feel she’s more than ready for it thanks to the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.142)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.142) out of 10 for Little Achievers Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.540 for Little Achievers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.54
  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 4.602 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Achievers Day Nursery is based on 10 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.602
  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.
