My daughter has settled well. When I have any concerns teachers and staff are always willing to listen and help. My daughter learnt to write and spell her name within the first few months and is progressing well.
Leicester Preparatory School has started to get my daughter ready for school, by having
to wear a uniform and getting to school before 9. The school also accommodates our dietary requirements, and the chef has spoken to me and I have given suggestion and alternatives.

We moved our child from another nursery. He loved it from the first day. The staff members are very professional. They can find a "key" for every child. We also noticed progress in reading and counting. Our child is always happy to do his homework. Every day he is coming home with a smile on his face,
ready to share his day experience with us.
Reply from Paul Hitchcock, Headmaster at Berties Nursery at LPS
Thank you. I am very pleased that you have already noted the progress of your child so soon after moving. All the staff work hard to maintain the academic progress of all the children.

Leicester Prep School has been amazing for both my kids. They have been so accommodating with my 3 yeard old, who at first cried at every drop-off. She now goes in smiling and high fives me. So pleased! They have also gone out of their way to help support so much and have made some lovely friends! Would
definitely recommend it.

Having already put our oldest son through nursery pre-prep and prep school we are reassuringly versed in what makes a good environment the growth and learning of a child.
We are delighted to have decided and chosen Leicester Preparatory School for our little hero. The level of commitment shown by his
key staff has been fantastic for the growth and learning of a child, feedback is precise and to the point with no grey areas.

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.
