Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my son stepped foot into Ladybird Nursery, he was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and familiarity that contrasted sharply with his previous, disheartening experience.
Fortunately, upon his arrival, his apprehensions dissipated within minutes of looking around and he was shown nothing
but empathetic support from the dedicated staff.
Unquestionably, the exceptional patience and unwavering kindness demonstrated by the thoughtful staff have transformed his entire experience at the nursery. Now, he radiates growing confidence and curiosity as he engages with his peers, asking questions and sharing his ideas. He tells us regularly how much he loves it there and we couldn't ask for anything more!
It is heartwarming to witness his flourishing development at Ladybird and we wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding establishment to any family in search of a nurturing and stimulating environment for their children.

My daughter has been going to nursery for a couple of months now and she really loves it. Her confidence has grown since she has started. She learns new things every day. She has made many friends and she enjoys playing with them.

My daughter has been at Ladybird Nursery for over 2 years now. She absolutely loves it, she has come out of her shell and is now full of confidence. She enjoys going to nursery to see her friends and she has a good relationship with all the staff there. The activities the nursery carry out with the
children is brilliant, my daughter has developed brilliantly with her learning. Staff in the office are very supportive and are always there if I need any help or advice or even if I have any concerns.
I would recommend this nursery to others as my daughter is very happy here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Ladybirds for nearly 3 years and his development has been amazing. It has been the perfect place to help him learn and grow, ready to start school in September. The staff at the nursery are always so friendly and happy as well as being patient with the children who all have separate
needs. Also, I feel the staff try to build a positive relationship with the parents and ease any fears they have about leaving their child in their care. When I pick my son up I always get a breakdown of the food he has had and how much he has eaten, the activities he has done during the day and a lot of different items to bring home that he has made. As a parent it gives me confidence that my child is not only in a secure and safe environment but is also busy playing, having fun and learning. An amazing nursery which I would definitely recommend.

The standard of care shown by this nursery is exemplary. The staff truly care about the children; they are engaged with the children’s interests and take time to get to know them. The leadership is fantastic; they help to provide a safe and warm environment for all children. My child thrived in their
care, and it was one of the best decisions I made to move them here.

My daughter started here a month ago and she's settled well, the nursery staff are so good with her. It's very reassuring whilst I'm at work to know she's happy there. I get a report every day letting me know what she's been up to, eaten, nappies changed and when she slept. Really happy so far.

My daughter has been at ladybird nursery for a little under one school year.


They have been so kind, patient and truly lovely to know. They are inclusive of all kids and really nurture what makes a child unique. I will sorely miss the staff.


My daughter has blossomed from shy and sweet to caring,

gregarious, funny and confident. She has made friends and learned a range of skills both social and basic academics. She has stated that she will miss her friends and her teachers so much.


I cannot recommend this nursery enough and have been nattering on about it to any new mums I meet.

All my children attended Ladybird Private Day Nursery, Eccles. I have three children aged 11, 9 and 3, 1 girl and 2 boys. The little one is attending the nursery now and he loves it. The manager and her team are simply fantastic, they show endless dedication, care and support to my son's well-being
and development. My son has developed so much in a wide range of things, especially communication and potty training. The manager and her team have become an important integral part of both our lives. My son looks forward to going to nursery every day. On weekends sometimes he works me up raring to go, he does not yet understand that at weekends the nursery is closed, this shows how much he likes to be with the team. I highly recommend anyone with children to try Ladybird Private Day Nursery they will never fail you or your child. Thank you to the manager and the team.

Both my daughters have attended this setting, meaning I have had connections with the nursery for an average of three years. I can not recommend a better setting in my opinion. My eldest who has not attended the setting for two years now still talks about staff to her younger sister who is currently
attending they both adore all the staff they are/have been involved with. The manager is amazing, she helps where she can and the whole team support in every way possible. They are a very good team and I will be sad to be losing this connection. Amazing setting and amazing people.

Honestly, the manager and the team cannot do enough for the children. I have two sons at Ladybird and they've been made to feel part of the family from day one. They cater for both my boys allergies and have helped and advised when needed too. Thank you for everything you do, you're the best!

My daughter started at The Ladybird Private Day nursery in January at seven months old and I can honestly say she has come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery are so helpful and friendly and the staff, including the owner, treats you like family and no request whether dietary or otherwise is too much
trouble. We get weekly photos and updates as well as daily reports and everything they do is so creative. My daughter absolutely loves nursery and I know that she is being looked after as if she was the staff’s own. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Thank you for everything you do.

Love this place - my little boy thrives here and absolutely loves attending. The new things/words he comes home saying every day really show the passion the staff has for looking after the children and educating them whilst having fun and exciting things to do. Extremely friendly staff, and the wide
range of food my child is offered to eat, helps with his "fussy eating" stage as he gets to try new things all the time. Highly recommend this nursery.

Both my children attend this nursery and they both absolutely love it. The staff in toddlers have helped my 2 year old become confident and encouraged her to become smart and independent. My young baby has only been attending for just over a month and is completely settled already, thanks to the staff
in the baby room being so friendly and welcoming.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone as it is amazing and I feel at ease knowing my children are being looked after by nursery nurses who take a genuine interest in them and get to know them personally.

I am very pleased with Ladybird Nursery. The staff worked hard to ensure my son was happy and settled, allowing him a number of visit days were effective in doing this. My son is very happy and at ease going into the nursery. This reflects how much he enjoys his time here. I am happy with the progress
he has made so far and would highly recommend Ladybird Private day Nursery.

Ladybirds Private Day Nursery, Eccles is an asset to the Eccles and surrounding area. We travelled from Irlam to ensure our little boy was in good care. The management staff here will open the door with a smile to greet you every day. When my little boy first started here, I was reassured by staff that
he would settle in just fine and given a little bag with a touching poem and a tea bag and a biscuit for home, so lovely. My little lad has just left to go to full-time nursery. I felt sad as I felt like we were losing valuable people in my son's life however, I rest assured they helped build his confidence blocks through play and building relationships. With this nursery, you won't go wrong.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.350)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.350) out of 10 for Ladybird Private Day Nursery, Eccles is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.944 for Ladybird Private Day Nursery, Eccles is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944
  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 3.406 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ladybird Private Day Nursery, Eccles is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.156
  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.
