I am so happy with the progress my son made during the past three weeks. He enjoys the school time and is always motivated to go back the next day which is amazing. The daily feedback that I get especially from the class teacher is really good and comprehensive, please continue doing that.

So far my experience as a parent of Leicester Preparatory School Nursery has been amazing- parent communication is well thought through and information related to my child is always relayed in a timely manner.


Staff are amazing at what they do, always keeping the children's interest and safety as

number one. My son has settled in really well and enjoys the variety of clubs such as specialist sports, pantomime club etc.


Thank you to all staff for their hardwork and efforts!

My son has attended Early Years for nearly two years now and I have seen big progress in his learning and confidence. The teachers here are doing a great job and from what I can tell my child has a good relationship with the teachers which is very helpful. Class Dojo keeps us updated of how our child
is doing at school which is lovely to see what they are like in a school environment.

We have been really happy with Leicester Preparatory School Early Years. My son started when he was three and I’ve already seen a progression with his social and communication skills. The staff are always encouraging and helping him to achieve with his writing and maths. The teachers are always available
to speak to and no question is ever a problem. They are quick to respond via the class app too. I couldn’t be happier! Keep up the amazing work.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my boys go to this school and both love to go to the school. Always come back happy and have seen a huge progression in their speech and confidence. They're well in advance when it comes to their education in comparison to other children their age. The teachers are amazing and nothing is too much
trouble for them. Always very informative and set clear goals for you to work on with your child at home.
The only concern I can think of is that the admin side of the school could be improved, we have had missing invoices and have had to refill forms, a prospective parent we recommended did not get calls back in regards to their interest in the school and some emails have been poorly written (if it wasn't for the teachers at the school, this would be very off-putting to a parent). Also, the boys are not great fans of the school dinners, but on the other hand not having the option of a packed lunch has taught my boys to eat well by themselves.

I highly would recommend Leicester Preparatory. The care, learning, and support from the staff is amazing. My little boy has developed so well become very confident. He comes home using the teacher's name and telling us what he has learned from them.


He has settled in well and the updates on class

dojo are brilliant so you can see your little one having fun and enjoying their day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started this nursery with very little English, and he was quite anxious in the beginning. Teachers handled this very well, and he quickly gained his confidence. I can see that in about 1-month he has developed a strong sense of belonging- seems very happy when I pick him up and clearly is very
fond of his teachers and friends. Also very easy to communicate with the members of staff, they share photos of what children have been doing regularly-a few times a week and always quickly respond to my messages. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Review from B P (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves her teachers, and they make her feel so welcomed and loved.
Every morning, the Head Teacher stands and greets every parent and child, which I appreciate a lot.
The standard of education is very high. I can see my daughter is learning something new week in week out. The school staff
teach them the best things from manners to speaking clearly.
Whenever I have wanted to speak to the teachers, they always take the time out.
The best situation which I loved is when my daughter got poorly at school, the teacher was emailing me all weekend to ask about my daughter, even the Head Teacher called me on a Saturday to check how my daughter was.
Brilliant school and staff.

My son has made tremendous progress since the beginning of the term. He has grown to be a confident little boy acquiring life skills (from attending swimming with the school) as well as achieving his EYFS targets with no concerns due to the expected high standards of the school.
The Pre Reception Teacher
has continuously kept me informed by effectively communicating his needs and progress allowing us to work together so he can truly flourish.
Overall, very very happy with the school, thank you for your efforts!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sending my son to Leicester Preparatory was the best decision we ever made for him. It did take him a couple of weeks to settle in but his teachers were very caring and understanding. His teachers would message me throughout the day with pictures and updates regarding his settling in - there was always
open communication with the staff. In just a short space of time, my son positively thrived in the creative and nurturing environment that the school has created for the children. He is now a confident, charismatic and independent little boy.

My son has really thrived in this setting. The staff are supportive, parents are well informed and in the instance, my child has been upset, unwell or injured, I am notified straight away. I have nothing but praise for the high quality teaching my son gets, lots of peer to peer support and feedback
via Class Dojo really makes me feel I am part of my son's learning journey.

My daughter has been thriving in an environment where she is carefully monitored and stretched. She has been instilled with a love of learning. She has made close friends. On her arrival at the school, she was a shy girl but she became more confident.


She has been greatly encouraged to be independent.

She is well ahead of her expected level.

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.
