My son has been attending Minibugs for over two years now and he absolutely loves it there. He has some really good pals, close relationships with his teachers, and he learns so much whilst having fun. He also eats a wide variety of food and has lots of playtime outdoors as well as indoors.

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
enjoys. The equipment and food options are fantastic. The outside area is also brilliant. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My daughter has been at Minibugs Liskeard since July 2018 and she has progressed and grown in confidence so much in this time. The staff are very friendly, fun and caring. My daughter is always very happy at nursery, enjoys all of the different activities, and has learnt a lot. The food offered is varied
and well balanced. I would definitely recommend to others.

Minibugs is a fantastic nursery. The staff are friendly, caring and understands what my child needs.

I couldn't

My son has been attending Minibugs at Liskeard since he was about 2 years old (he is 4 now). He has special needs and the nursery have gone above and beyond to accommodate his needs. Dealing with assessments, routines and other professionals on a weekly basis. I am without a doubt certain that my son
would not be where he is now; emotionally, cognitively and progressing really well without the help of all the staff at Minibugs. My son has shown some challenging behaviour and the staff have worked so hard to overcome each little hurdle he faces making his time there enjoyable, safe and proactive. My son transitions to primary school in September and Minibugs will always have my heartfelt thanks for giving my little boy a chance and helping him flourish.
Reply from Astra Pitman at Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard)Thank you for such amazing feedback of our team at Liskeard. It's lovely to hear how much your son has progressed in his time at Minibugs.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.927 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.927
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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, which has been reached with 16 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.
