Minibugs have been fantastic. We have had our eldest and 2 little ones in minibugs liskeard and the team are just brilliant with them. Always welcoming and friendly. My children always come home telling me what amazing things they have been up too. The team go above and beyond for the children. Our
baby will be joining soon. I could not imagine not having all my children experience such a lovely nursery.

We really cannot recommend this nursery enough. The whole team at Minibugs has been so wonderful and supportive since our little boy started with them in February. We recently moved from Bristol and were very nervous that he would struggle with such a big change and leaving his last nursery. With the
support from the amazing team in the baby room, he has settled in beautifully and often asks to go to nursery on his days off! The manager was an amazing help during his settling-in sessions, letting me use the WIFI whilst our internet was down in the new house! It's a lovely setting with beautiful indoor and outdoor space.

The staff at Minibugs Liskeard have been fantastic. They have been so welcoming and supportive during my sons settle in sessions, even more so knowing how nervous I've been leaving him for the first time. He's only 2 and comes home talking about how three particular ladies cuddle and sing to him when
he's upset and that means a lot to me. I trust them with my whole heart. Thank you for starting my sons new journey at your nursery so positively, it reassures me that my son is in safe hands.

Such a kind and friendly team, very welcoming and always so helpful. Willing to help out with any concerns or queries we have. Offered extra settling in sessions when our daughter first started and now in her review she's absolutely thriving and hitting all the milestones and more thanks to the support
she's got from everyone at Minibugs. Appreciate all the hard work that they put in so thank you!

Our son has been at Minibugs Nurseries for around a year and has had a brilliant experience. I couldn't praise the staff enough for their attentive care, calm approach and joy/happiness they bring him.
His speech is developing at a steady rate and likes to call out each member when he sees them. Loves
the baby rooms sand pit and playing outside, but his favourite thing is to read. The staff are great at sitting down with him and reading him stories or asking him what an item is so he can repeat it back.
Definitely made the right choice for a nursery and wouldn't put him anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started at Minibugs Nurseries when he was 9 months old and has moved up the rooms from baby room, to the 2s room and is currently in the preschool.
In every room he has had brilliant care, and staff have really supported his learning and interests. All the staff have been so welcoming and
more than happy to share any advice, both at handovers and at parents evenings.
He also has a dairy allergy which has always been taken seriously, which has put my mind at ease (especially as a first time mum).
My little one is always so excited to come to nursery to see his friends, and often wants to recreate activities he's done within the setting at home (requesting ice play or making his own Chinese Dragon to celebrate Lunar New Year with us at home, which has been lovely!). It will be very strange for him to leave and start school in September as Minibugs has been such a huge part of his childhood.

My daughter has been at Minibugs for almost a year now since she was 8 months old, and her speech and development have come on so fast. She absolutely loves going to nursery, and each of the team has made the effort to know her by name. She is learning baby signs outside of the nursery, and the staff
have gone above and beyond to make sure they can understand and communicate with her in this way. She comes home each time having done a variety of activities and is always so pleased to chat about her day. We're so pleased that she's very happy here.

From the day the nursery was viewed, there was an instant draw to this nursery.
The setting has a unique way of providing a family, relaxed feel whilst at the same time staff are professional but friendly. They go above and beyond in providing feedback about your child and the support for the settling-in
process is 2nd to none for both baby and parent! Thank you!

The staff in the baby room are lovely and so welcoming. My little boy has really grown in confidence since being here and talks all day long! They take time to do lots of different activities and their outdoor space is amazing. They have been really flexible with my working pattern and I feel at ease
taking my little one here. They keep me informed throughout the day and it makes me feel a lot better having a good idea of what he's up to whilst I'm at work! Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.

The nursery staff work so hard to make every child be happy whilst in their care. They also work really closely with the parents to understand what we are working on to develop with our child and continue it in the nursery setting.
My child suffers from severe allergies and reactions but they do everything
they can to make him feel included and also I have no doubts the slightest concern they will be in touch and manage it so I don’t need to leave work all the time, knowing he is in safe hands when he has mild reactions.

My daughter started at Minibugs in November. She had a really hard time overcoming the change of starting a nursery setting but I can not be more pleased with the amount of support shown to her by all of the Minibugs team. The care they provide is excellent, I can go to work knowing she is well looked
after and having a fun day. She has progressed and learnt so much within her time there already and the development we see in her is incredible. Due to the care and cuddles she receives, she now goes to nursery so happy and is always in a fantastic mood at home time telling me about her day. Thank you to everyone at Minibugs, you are awesome.

My son has attended Minibugs since June 2020 and my daughter has attended since May 2022. They both absolutely love their time at nursery, and it’s such a relief to go to work knowing they are well cared for, safe and having fun! They spend lots of time outdoors, exploring the lovely space that the
nursery has to offer. The activities are always well thought out, fun and engaging. The staff are all amazing, friendly and always have a welcoming smile. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Minibugs nursery.

My son has been with Minibugs for eight months now and he absolutely loves it there. He’s always engaging in fun and educational play, both inside and out, bringing home all the lovely things he’s made. The staff have created a lovely bond with my son, giving him the confidence to play and share with
others freely. My son eats very well at nursery, they cater to him being a vegetarian brilliantly and serve a range of fresh meals he seems to really enjoy. He’s come on leaps and bounds due to Minibugs and we are very grateful to be sending our son to such a lovely nursery. Management are very easy to communicate with and can’t do enough to help. All in all, highly recommended!

Minibugs Liskeard is an excellent nursery, my daughter attends twice and week and absolutely loves it. Her confidence has grown really well and her speech has developed so much since she has been at Minibugs. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming on drop off and pick up, they never rush you so
you are able to hear so much about your little one's day which is lovely. You can tell they spend a lot of time interacting with the children, as with my daughter they very quickly picked up her love for books. They always have a variety of food available for the children, and It's obviously lovely as my one always asks for second helpings which they give her happily. My daughter now gets excited in the car when we pull up outside, and sometimes doesn't turn to say bye which just truly shows how wonderful it is there.

My little boy has been going to Minibugs for the last ten months and he loves it there! We are always welcomed with a smile on drop off and pick up. I love that I can come into the nursery to see my little one playing at pick-up time, the staff will always give me a full breakdown of how his day has
been. The app is also very useful so I can check in and see how he is doing.
The staff are very supportive with his learning, helping to teach new words etc and will adjust his daytime schedule to blend in as best as possible with his schedule at home. The nursery has also been very flexible as I had jury duty at the end of last year and they accommodated him for a few extra days.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.942 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.942
  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 4.98 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is based on 10 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.98
  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.
