Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Really pleased with this choice of nursery for our little boy. He has been very happy and settled from early on which is testament to the staff for helping him feel so comfortable. The team put lots of effort into providing stimulating activities for the children at all ages and we are confident our
son will continue to develop really well there.

Our 2-and-a-half-year-old boy has attended Little Learners since he was 1 and we have had such a good experience with them. He enjoys going, he has lovely relationships with both staff and the other children there. He’s also developing really well in all areas. Although the outdoor facilities aren’t
as big as other nurseries, they make the most of what they have got and the children still enjoy their time there. Lovely nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery and pre-school. I have both my children, aged 3 and 1, at this setting and I couldn't recommend them more (as I do to anyone who asks about nurseries in the Chester region). My 3 year old literally runs in everytime it's pre-school day, which I think says enough! My 1 year old is already
very settled and has only been going for 3 months, wants cuddles with all the staff as soon as he goes in.
Each and every staff member is always very warm and welcoming. They all take a genuine interest in every child, even if they're not in their room (yet). It feels like a second family for my kids.
The activities they think of and organise are great and innovative. The kids really get to explore and interact with all their senses, even in the baby (Bears) room.
Always very well informed on the daily activities and lovely food that my kids have throughout the day through the app.
Thank you for taking such exceptional care of my kids!

My little girl has been attending this nursery for over 2 years and has grown and developed so well thanks to the brilliant members of staff! My little boy is due to start next year too! They plan and prepare different, fun activities every day and take them on fun trips out. Would highly recommend!

I feel that Little Learners is an extremely well-run nursery with high standards and an excellent team behind it all.
They are super flexible, friendly and helpful.
The app they use is constantly updated with information regarding my child and also with general information about the nursery.
There
is always someone there to quickly answer an email or telephone call.
Definitely the best nursery in the area!

The nursery and all the staff are kind, compassionate, and capable (especially when it comes to sickness or extra needs I think).
They have supported two of my children (and us as parents it feels like!) so well and I feel very happy and lucky that we selected this nursery 4 years ago!
Outside space
is limited but it doesn't matter because they make so much of what they have and take the children out in to the gym and on trips.

My child absolutely loves his preschool teachers, the children he plays with and the setting. He is thriving in preschool. The staff are really friendly, they communicate with us brilliantly, we are able to talk with the team and know they care deeply for our child's wellbeing. It's a lovely place to
attend, our child is always so excited to go and spend time with his friends and teachers.

Absolutely love this nusery for my 3 year old. He has been attending for a year now and can honestly say he loves it, staff are so attentive to the children,caring and build up a nice relationshipwith each child, have updates regularly about childs progression. The apps great too, get to see what the
child eats throughout the day, and see pics of what your child does throughout thier day.
Management are always happy to help also. Will be very sad for my child to leave next year when he starts school.

Since my child started at this nursery in 2022 I have been extremely impressed with everything. The communication between all staff has always been flawless and my little boy has come on so much since being at the nursery, he is always so happy to go and he loves all the different activities that he
does there and he is always excited when he knows he is going to nursery. Such a lovely environment for him to be in and as a parent I am always kept up to date with his progress day to day.

I just love this nursery. Having experienced two other settings with my other child I can wholeheartedly say this is the warmest, and loveliest setting with emotional well-being at the centre of everything. My youngest son goes here and is even learning phonics nearly a full year before my oldest son
did. We have been blown away by the love, care and education here. Every member of the team is just lovely. My son loves it here!

Little Learners Nursery has been fantastic for our children. Both have allergies and they cater for them excellently. The staff and management are all lovely and they have great opportunities for the children. My children have come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery, hands down it has been
one of the best parenting decisions we have made putting them in here. As a parent, it’s so reassuring to know my children are in a safe place with staff who genuinely care and nurture for them as if they were their own. I would not hesitate to recommend this setting and all the wonderful staff who work there.

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.
