My son loves going to Minibugs. I was nervous about taking him when he was younger but he loved it from day one and still does. All the staff are lovely and I feel happy leaving him there knowing he’s safe and well cared for.

My son really loves and enjoy going to Minibugs, even when he doesn't have nursery he still wakes up asking if he could go.
Since he has started Minibugs over a year ago, he has bloomed, growing up way too fast.
But my son is a very fussy eater as he has issues going for number 2 and after talking
to the manager about the situation, she has listened and helped with getting information and understands fully. I fully feel comfortable with the staff at Minibugs and would highly recommend to anyone

The staff make me feel reassured and constantly. They give me all the relevant updates I need in-person and via the app about my child. Everyone is so attentive and caring and I couldn’t think of a better nursery to recommend or to send my child to. Everyone is doing an excellent job and going above
and beyond constantly.

My son has been attending Minibugs for over a year and has come on so much with his development in that time, he loves visiting Minibugs as they are always offering new activities. I love the natural environment and all the outdoor learning which they encourage massively! Really friendly staff, I would

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one was a lockdown baby so to give him to nursery was a huge step for me! Minibugs has been incredible! The staff are wonderful and look after my little boy's every need! The parent app is a perfect way where I can see what his day has been like but also a lovely way to communicate needs to
staff if anything has been changed.
My little boy now waves me off before I can even say goodbye! He loves going into nursery and that had shown me more than anything! He loves it! The staff go above and beyond to make sure they get to know your little one! Right down to my boy's character!
They take everything in their stride! My little boy has come on leaps and bounds in his development right down to learning Makaton with them! He continues to grow in confidence!
They are even supportive of using cloth nappies! I was so worried when going to nursery they might not have the knowledge, but they are fantastic and supportive.
To know how much my little boy loves it means it's worth every penny!

My son loves going to Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard). He has attended the nursery since he was a baby and is now in the two to five year old's room. I would recommend the nursery without hesitation, the staff are extremely enthusiastic and organise so many different activities for the children. The
food is freshly cooked on-site too which isn’t always the case with other nurseries. Overall it’s an excellent nursery and I know my son will be sad to leave when he goes to school!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We looked at every possibility for childcare for our daughter, knowing I would be returning to work. We checked all nurseries and available childminders which would work logistically when it came to location and Minibugs Nurseries Ltd stood out to us! The communication, the welcome and the atmosphere
was just what we were looking for! Friendly, welcoming and professional but definitely personable. The settling in sessions helped and after a few weeks, she was settled. Everyone did everything they could to help with her routine and she has now relaxed into it. I found going back to work and starting our little one at nursery a fairly daunting experience but the staff at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd totally helped and everything was made to feel less stressful. My partner and I are so happy with everything and even my older daughter commented on how lovely the people were and that she’s happy her little sister goes there!

They are a friendly, helpful, fantastic nursery who go above and beyond to look after the parents as well as the children. My son has become so much more confident since being there. The nursery nurses are second to none. My son adores them all and it helps to leave him in an environment he thoroughly

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.
