Outstanding care from the Toddler's lead teacher. She genuinely cares for the children and looks after them like they are her own. She goes above and beyond and the support staff are also excellent. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their child to be looked after in a positive stimulating
environment for healthy growth & development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have found the care and educational aspects exceptional. The main reason we moved our son here was the confidence we had in the early years education provided. What has stood out and made a huge difference amongst other things is the two apps; one that allows us to see exactly what and how much he's
eaten and another which shows photos of all his daily activities. The staff are so professional and caring, we couldn't have asked for a better start in life for our son.

Thank you for your kind feedback. Our staff who really care about your son will be thrilled to see what you have said.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our son to Berties Nursery from another centre when we moved into the area. We love the structured approach of the preschool and the smaller class sizes, it honestly makes the previous centre look like a zoo. This was incredibly important to us following an international move to the UK, we
wanted some stability for our son. He is making excellent progress with phonics, even trying to spell out words when we read together at night (he is 3 and 3 months). I have a lot of confidence that this is the right environment to get him ready for school and that his learning opportunities are good here. The school arrange trips, whenever they can, to the local library, park, farm etc. to keep the children engaged. The staff are attentive and very open, we receive timely updates and progress reports. Management/governance also ask for feedback regularly which is a good indicator. His key staff member is a lovely, warm and caring lady. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The nursery staff are extremely caring, kind and attentive to the children. They have taken numerous steps to improve the nursery, such as new menus with an onsite chef (with halal meat), renovation and staff changes. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since joining and we are very happy with him
here. I would highly recommend it.

My daughter has attended for pre-reception year as I felt she needed a little more structure than a traditional nursery provides so that she is school ready and LPS has been brilliant. She loves every minute, loves her teachers and they do a brilliant job. Updates via the app have been on a daily basis
with new pictures almost each day which is above and beyond other settings. I will miss her attending LPS and recommend to anyone.

Our son has progressed quite impressively, even with his physical development and social skills. I love how he even respects his teachers, even when they are not around so I can attest his levels of respect. Our son is maturing very well and he is becoming gentle and very subtle and very friendly. Thank
you for his growth and his development. The results are very visible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is very young for her year and we were keen to find a pre school for her to attend from 2 that had a little more education focus and structure than a traditional pre school or nursery to stand her in good stead for when she starts school; we are absolutely delighted with her progress, learning
and the way the staff are at Berties Nursery at LPS. Almost want to keep it a secret so it doesn’t get overly full! Already enrolled our youngest to start in December and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

My daughter started this school in April and she’s had a great experience so far. I am not surprised with how the teachers and the children have welcomed her, as my three older children loved their time at Berties Nursery at LPS. They enjoyed every moment in their early years at LPS and they reached
their full potential. It’s an outstanding school!

My daughter is doing her reception year. I’m extremely glad for Leicester Preparatory School Nursery. The care and education are wonderful. The school is very flexible with our last-minute needs. The children are encouraged to explore and learn. My daughter is excited about her phonics and numbers.
I can see the difference in how confident she is over the last 7 months. Highly recommended!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Berties Nursery at LPS is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.844 for Berties Nursery at LPS is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.844
  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 Berties Nursery at LPS is based on 15 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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
