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!

It's always fun for our kid each day as he looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends. He's grown really fond of the nursery and activities especially swimming. There's been lots of support for him all through his journery which is very appreciative

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.

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.

Amazing nursery. Had my first daughter in there since she was 6 months until school, and my second daughter is here 2 years and just moved to Leopards. I'm super happy with the staff over the years. They always do great, interesting stuff with kids. My child says at home "tidy up time" after she played.
So also teach them very important lessons for life. May not huge space outside but we live in England where rains most of the year anyway. Thank you.

Fab nursery providing excellent care to my child. I know my daughter is safe in their care and she's going to learn so much there and be entertained. I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends. All the staff are amazing. I wish there were more daily updates rather than like a weekly summary
of what they've done. I appreciate that they are probably busy looking after little ones but I feel in the past there were more regular daily updates.

My son is in the baby room at Little Learners.
It is like a big family where all the staff from the managers to the reception team and even the chef will recognise my child and he is always beaming at them when they greet him.
Settling in was thoughtful and gentle. His keyworker came to do a home
visit to really get to know him before the graded introductions.
Activities are varied and always different each day. The children go on trips out to the local town in the prams and spend a good amount of time outdoors in the age-specific garden areas.
Food is exceptional and my son always eats everything. The food is healthy and homemade on-site.
Feedback through the app and through talking with staff each day is detailed and shows that they really know each child, their strengths and weaknesses and care deeply about encouraging them with next steps.
My son has developed so rapidly since being at nursery. Most importantly he is happy every day and loves it here.

My little girl has attended Little Learners for nearly a year now.
She has come on in leaps and bounds since attending; her confidence and development have skyrocketed, and that's thanks to Little Learners!
Every single staff member is so friendly, welcoming and attentive.
They keep you updated
throughout the day with pictures, messages, etc.
There are different activities set out each day, and they even let them enjoy some exercise within the sports hall.
They go out of their way to make the children feel at home, and I could not wish for a better setting for my little girl to strive in.
My little boy will be attending in due course, and I have no concerns that he will be left in the best care!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.885 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.885

  • b) 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 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
