Staff are very good with the children and very easy to talk to and accommodating if they can be. Lovely nursery setting and if I had anymore children I wouldn’t hesitate to take them here. Thank you so much!

My daughter has been with Little Learners since the babies room. She’s soon to move on into preschool. In my experience and opinion Little Learners is a friendly, safe, comfortable nursery for children to grow, learn and develop. They offer a range of extra curriculum activities such as dance swimming
and languages. As well as outdoor activities, planting, and learning about nature, it really is an inclusive environment. My daughter has made numerous friends of all ages and engages well socially with children and adults at the nursery, and has always been excited to attend. Great place for children to start their learning journeys.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three and a half year old has recently started at Little Learners Nursery School Chester lower pre-school room, following a negative experience at another local provider.
I can’t rate them highly enough, they have been so understanding, caring, and nurturing towards him. He was very nervous and
anxious to begin with, but after just a few sessions he is really settling in now, despite never having been in a childcare setting previously.
The staff have taken the time to get to know what his interests are, and they engage with him enthusiastically in such a caring way that it makes drop-offs much easier.
When I come to pick him up at the end of his morning, he consistently says “too much to tell” when I ask what he’s been up to, so I know he’s having lots of fun there.

Lovely nursery all round - well-managed settling in sessions when she started at 9 months old (now 16 months); brilliant staff that are always pleased to see us; a good variety of activities planned each day including outings; the list goes on. She's thrived at Little Learners Nursery School Chester,
really enjoys going.

We love Little Learners Nursery School Chester for our daughter. She has developed so well since starting. They do a wide range of activities with the children including time outside and walks into the local neighbourhood. Our little one always eats well and the staff are wonderful. Would highly recommend.

We have had 2 sons attend Little Learners Nursery School, our youngest is due to finish this month, honestly one of the best finds! Our son has developed in every possible way through being nurtured, educated and emotionally supported from workers in his room right through to management, he’s incredibly
happy every day when he comes home and so full of enthusiasm to talk about the amazing things he has done that day, every day seems to be a new adventure and a really fun place to be!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Learners Nursery School have been brilliant. My son has been going since he was 1 and is now 3.5 and my daughter has just started there. They both absolutely love it. The workers and management are all very good. The management knows both of my children even if they aren’t regularly working with
them which makes it feel like they really know their nursery. The staff turnover has slowed massively in the last year or so as well (since the new manager started it seems) and that is also pleasant as we get to know the people who are looking after our children and it’s not a new face every few weeks.
The communication is good, there is an app which is regularly updated with photos and information on activities that the children have been doing and they always think of some fun things for them to be doing.
The outside space is limited but they make the most of every corner of space!

As a mother of a child that attends this nursery, I am pleased with the way my child is happy when he gets there. He gives his teachers a hug which shows he loves them and they must have been good and nice to him. I appreciate that.

Our son started in May having moved house and nursery (before welcoming a sibling!). Little Learners have been amazing in ensuring he settled in quickly and he has handled the transition so well which wouldn’t have been the case without the staff being so welcoming of him. He comes home happy after
every session and we’re confident he’s cared for well and has fun every time he goes. We would definitely recommend Little Learners.

Our son has been attending Little Learners Nursery School Chester for over 18 months and we are extremely happy about his time there. His days are incredibly varied with sports, Spanish, sensory, singing and so much more. The staff are friendly and personable and very quick to respond to any queries
or concerns. The food sounds amazing, and he seems to eat absolutely everything there! Our daughter is due to start in May and we had no hesitation at all about sending her there.

Our little boy has been at Little Learners for a year now (having started at nine months old). He is our second child to attend there after the first went through all the rooms from nine months old until he started school. We have had nothing but a great experience with all the staff in this nursery
and the way it is run. We had no hesitation in sending our second child here! All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it is obvious they all actually care about the children and aren't just there for any old job. They go to extra lengths, from making birthday cards with the children for family members to bringing in extra maths games to play with our eldest child when he needed more of a challenge. They are constantly changing the environments with new activities to stimulate the childrens interest. Also, the chef's cooking must be amazing! Our little boy seems to eat everything put in front of him! Good work, Little Learners - I can't recommend you enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children have had a very positive experience at Little Learners. Our son spent just over a year in preschool and our daughter started in Tigers and is now in Upper preschool. The staff are without a doubt what makes this nursery so wonderful; it's like leaving your children with your own
family. They get to know each child as an individual and bring out the best of them. Both children adored their key workers (they did change from time to time initially due to staff turnover, but this has settled more recently) and we also have a great relationship with the staff and are kept well informed of the children's progress. The app is fab for keeping in touch and regular reports and observations are always really informative. The setting is fairly compact, particularly the outside areas but they make great use of the space. The resources are excellent and they do a great job of getting the children ready for school. Thanks for taking such good care of our little ones.

I highly recommend Little Learners. The staff are absolutely lovely and really care about the children. The nursery has been very helpful with settling in my child which has not been easy. They are always on hand to offer tips and advice and their communication is 100%. I can’t fault them in any way.
The facilities are great and the activities, visitors and events are very well thought out.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she has attended Little Learners since she was eight months old and has developed great relationships with the staff and children.


The staff are fantastic and always give updates on how her day has been, either through the app or face to face when

she is collected.


The staff in her room provide great learning opportunities, they make the most of their outdoor area and she loves her ballet classes too. They are able to cater for allergies and our daughter loves both the food and the chef!

Little Learners is a very well run nursery dedicated to children's care and development. They provide excellent communication tools like the family app and the catering and menu is top rate. The staff are very hardworking and the activities organised are inventive and inspiring. Overall the service
is value for money. The location is convenient they maximise the use of the gym, however - the outdoor space is the weakest point and is in need of improvement.

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.
