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.
My child has progressed massively since being here and he loves spending time here.
The nursery meals are healthy and well balanced and the setting overall is lovely, clean and child safe.
I couldn't
ask for a better place to put my child.

I cannot recommend Minibugs enough. Amazing staff, who have made my son's experience so personal and have made him feel at home. They have really gone above and beyond in just the short amount of time he has been there. Everyone is so helpful and attentive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Minibugs is absolutely brilliant, my son loves going to Minubugs, he's come on leaps and bounds, and as first-time parents the staff have made us feel so welcome and nothing is to much trouble and the updates we get give us peace of mind.

My daughter has been coming here now for 6 months. She has grown so much and they are amazing at focusing on her strengths but also improving where needed. They have encouraged her to socialise and her speech is amazing. Each day we get a detailed chat about what she's been up to and it really encourages
me. Including the homemade meals she gets each day. Very happy girlie means happy mummy. All thanks to the extra effort put in by the staff.

Review from M J (Father of Child) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every parent who uses carer services faces the dilemma of leaving their child in the care of an unknown quantity. We (my partner and I) were very careful in our initial visits to nurseries, as we want only the very best for our children. Minibugs staff were not only welcoming, but very professional
from day one. The facilities both inside and out are fantastic for little children. We knew from the very first taster day, that Minibugs would and is the right place for our child.


There have been some changes in staff over the time we have used Minibugs, but the care and interactions have never been in deficit. New members are just as dedicated and show the children both love and understanding. The feedback from the staff is excellent. In my professional capacity, I observe the behavioural interactions of adults and children. I have the utmost respect for the dedication of all concerned at Minibugs and can only recommend that any interested parent consider this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Minibugs Liskeard are very caring, enthusiastic and always give me a breakdown of what my children have been up to every day. My children have been attending for 2 months now and have settled in very well. They are always happy to go to nursery, in fact, they love it! They play outside
most days and love the wide variety of activities, the messier the better!
The only thing that I sometimes query is how much food my son has had, as he has a big appetite most of the time and I think he can always eat more. The staff are adjusting his portion sizes accordingly and this seems to be going well now.
Overall, I am happy with the nursery and would recommend it to others, it is a nice size with enough children to build social skills but without being too busy.

My daughter has been going to Minibugs for over a year now. She has definitely benefited from being there. She has made some amazing friends and everyone even parents know her name! She has come along way with all aspects of her learning, she very much enjoys the new Forest school and she loves being
outdoors a lot. All the members of staff past and present are amazing! Even the workmen (who have been doing some amazing work). My daughter has been loving the outdoor mud kitchen and the outdoor space in general. I can honestly say I have never had any problems with the nursery.

After having a bad experience with a different nursery, I wasn't sure if I wanted to send my daughter to another nursery but so glad I did. Minibugs are amazing, she has come on so much in the last 6 months and begs me to go every day. Highly recommended and all the girls are lovely and you receive
an email on the days the child goes keeping you updated on your child's progress.

My daughter attends Minibugs Liskeard and has absolutely thrived since starting. She loves all the staff and loves telling me about all her friends and the exciting things she has been doing. She absolutely loves Forest school and I think it's brilliant that they spend so much time outside. All the

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.
