Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twins girls (2 1/2 years) have been going to Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) since May. They absolutely love it, they have been to other nurseries in the past with concerns for me and Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) have certainly ticked all the boxes. I feel like I can talk to the staff
about any concerns and help they need easily which puts me at ease. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the activities for the children are fab lots to do and learn. They do something new every day and bring something home. Also, I get sent emails and pictures of what the girls have done and eaten throughout the day, which I love the great idea. The girls always come home with a smile on their face. Lovely ladies who genuinely care for all children. Can't thank them enough and would definitely recommend Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Minibugs Nursery as soon as they opened in May. Having moved her down from a different nursery I already knew what I was looking for.


Minibugs has exceeded all my expectations and my daughter absolutely loves going there.


All the staff are extremely caring and have also

supported me on a personal level with some problems I had at home.


I love getting the emails each evening to see what my daughter has got up to during the day. She's always kept busy with fun and creative activities and there is something different to do each day.


I have recommended Minibugs Nursery to friends already and will continue to do so.


I can't thank them enough for the hard work they put in each day to make my daughter feel at home there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.721)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.721) out of 10 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 4.721 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.721
  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 Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (St Austell) 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, 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.
