Little Learners provides an exceptional, nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported to grow. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely committed to each child's development. Communication is excellent, and the whole team creates a welcoming, positive atmosphere every day.
Leadership is clearly hands-on and supportive, which shows in the high quality of care and learning provided. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a setting that truly goes above and beyond.

We are really grateful for the care our daughter received in the Bears room. From the very beginning we felt confident that she was safe, nurtured, and looked after with real care. Each member of staff has brought something special - from the calmness and warmth at drop-offs, to the thoughtful communication
that made transitions easier, to the cuddles and connections that meant so much to her.
The team are calm, approachable, and excellent communicators, which made the settling-in period so much easier for us as parents. We've seen our daughter grow in confidence and independence during her time with you, and we're so thankful for the role you've had in that. It was clear how much she enjoyed her time with you all, and the Bears team have played such an important role in her early years and we will always appreciate the part you had in her journey before moving up to Lions. We are excited for our next chapter in the Lions room and feel blessed that our daughter is at Little Learners.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a Nanna picking my granddaughter up, I was always made to feel welcome and included. The staff are wonderful and very well cared for and encouraged to be themselves.
I worked for 25 years as an NNEB in early years settings and I can honestly say that I've never seen better practices. I know my
granddaughter is happy and cared for and it is truly like a home from home. I have watched her grow as a confident, happy baby, into a very happy, child who is learning new skills all the time. Of course, this is carried on as well in her home life.
I'm sure she will make the transition into big school in her stride when her time comes. This is down to the professionals teaching her now. Even the kitchen staff contribute by providing nutritional, tasty meals suitable for each age. Well done to all the staff, I can't praise you all enough throughout all the rooms.

My daughter is in bears room and she loves it. The staff are great, and she has come such a long way since enrolling. When visiting nurseries little learners gave me the best vibe, all staff were friendly and welcoming. All staff say hello when you walk past and it gives you such a friendly feel. I
would 100% recommend the team. Especially the team in the bears room, they all deserve a pay rise for what they do and how they make parents able to return to work knowing their kids are safe and looked after like they were there own!

We are absolutely delighted with the care and support Lily receives at the nursery. From the moment she arrives, she is welcomed warmly by staff who clearly know her well and take a genuine interest in her development. The team create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where Lily feels happy
and confident to explore.
Communication with us is excellent, with regular updates, feedback reports, and a genuine openness to discuss Lily's progress on every pick up. The detailed observations and learning updates through email show how carefully her development is monitored and supported. We cannot praise the nursery enough

This is the last of my grandchildren being nurtured by the Little Learner's team. The staff are exceptional in their care for the children and the outstanding activities which they create to stimulate their developmental growth and learning. We couldn't have chosen a better start for our precious children's
learning journey!

All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. They give good feedback to the progression in nursery, and set fair and achievable goals.
They are very good at sharing experiences to overcome obstacles especially when our child didn't know how to express his emotions in the correct way.

Such friendly staff, I have complete trust in them with my son.
Outdoor space is smaller than some, but my son loves it, and it's perfect in the heat without the worry of sunburn, whilst keeping them fully entertained safely.
The overall experience has been wonderful. From my son starting at 4 months,
to nearly 2 years old now.

My two girls are growing and flourishing whilst at Little Learners. The staff are clearly passionate about what they do - it's evidently more than a job to them, but a calling to help champion children to be the wonderful human beings they were born to be. I'd have zero reservations about recommending
them to anyone looking for a place to send their children to.
My only 4 star was for outside space - as they have a limited amount - but they make the most of what they have got and they make an effort to take the children on adventures outside of their facilities.

My child started in the Bear's room, now in the Lion's room. Staff in both groups are always friendly and always plan activities to enrich the time with the kids. Always enjoys her time at Little Learners Nursery School Chester and has really helped in developing her social skills and getting used to
other children.

Little Learners Nursery School Chester has been absolutely amazing for my daughter! From day one, the staff have been so welcoming and attentive, making her feel right at home. She settled in straight away, which was such a relief, and in the six months she has been attending, her development has come
on leaps and bounds.
The team are truly caring and dedicated, always creating a warm and nurturing environment. It's clear how much they love what they do, and my daughter absolutely adores them! Seeing her so happy and excited to go each day is the best feeling as a parent.
I can't recommend Little Learners enough, a wonderful place with a fantastic team!

I cannot fault this nursery at all, it's like a home from home for my girl and it makes working and studying life so much easier knowing how cared for that she is. My only thing I would change is that I wish I had sent my eldest daughter there too. The staff are always so lovely and not afraid to talk,
offer advice and work with genuine care and always there to listen too when needed. If I could give the nursery 100 stars, then I would! Thank you to all the staff at Little Learners.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the setting for a year and we are very happy with the environment. The staff are always happy to help and provide regular updates.
The children do a wide range of activities and they are not confined to just one room. Although it isn't a large outdoor space, it is enough to play
in. It is great they take the children to the space in the gym to run around. Children are taken outside of the setting too into the local area which enhances their experience.
They have regular activities such as baby ballet and bippity boppity boo and options for other activities.
My son is very well socialised and has been exposed to a variety of different foods and eats well.
We are very happy with all the staff and the management.
Would recommend.

I honestly can't rate Little Learners highly enough. The staff are amazing and care deeply about the children they look after and the same care, kindness and compassion is extended to parents and carers. Our little one started at the nursery 4 full days a week when he had just turned 1 and we feel he
has thrived there since his very first day. He has a dairy allergy which has always been handled seriously, giving us peace of mind when he's away from us. An enormous amount of thought goes into thinking about and planning varied activities that will stimulate and develop the children. We feel the team is very harmonious, which comes from excellent leadership and recruitment of the right people. I've also really appreciated the amount of support they have given us as parents with a number of different things. Most importantly, our boy absolutely loves nursery thanks to the wonderful team at Little Learners.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.898 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 394 Ratings = 4.898
  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 Little Learners Nursery School Chester is based on 33 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
