Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were initially unsure when looking at nurseries due to the outside space but I couldn’t be happier with our choice to go there.
The efforts that the team go to with the children is fantastic. They are always doing fun and educational activities in a very caring setting. They also keep parents updated
regularly through the app which is a great way of staying connected. Meals are prepared on site by a wonderful cook who is lovely and my daughter loves all of the team there. They also do more outside activities as the kids get older which is more than enough to alleviate my original concern. Great place, would recommend.

Review from Emily K (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We got such a good feel from this nursery when being shown around by the then manager. The nursery have been welcoming and flexible and our daughter is slowly starting to settle in well. The team are quick to respond to queries and will put anything in place to support. For example, her key worker now
ensures she collects our daughter from the door (due to Covid restrictions) as previously she was being collected by staff she did not know and this was making her anxious. Our daughter has lots of opportunities to engage in activities that have provided us with inspiration for entertaining her at home. Although the outdoor space is small she loves this and I’m told she often wants to be outdoors. One improvement that could be made is the communication via the parent app as this is not always reflected accurately in terms of timings. It would also be nice for one or two photos to be loaded onto the app so that parents/carers can see what a child has engaged with that day.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners since April 2018 and has loved every moment. The staff are truly amazing and are so passionate about their jobs and obviously care deeply for the children they look after. I have never felt any concern or worry when leaving her with them and this is obvious
when I come to collect her. I can not fault any of the staff in the nursery and will be sending my soon to be born daughter without hesitation next year.
They also offer a great selection of meals on a rolling menu so that everyone gets to try everything, and if for whatever reason your child doesn't eat they are always offered an alternative.
The management is extremally approachable and accommodating and will do anything they can to help should you require extra sessions or even just advice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended Little Learners Nursery for over one year and graduated last August to start Primary School. I highly recommend Little Learners Nursery. Our Daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time there and we watched her grow and develop. The staff are extremely professional but add their own personal
touches that allow them to build loving relationships with the children.
Our daughter absolutely adored her key worker and the additional staff that supported her. She made lovely friends and looked forward to going to nursery each day where her confidence grew so much.
I am so grateful to Little Learners for encouraging our daughter and preparing her for the next stage of her journey to school.
As a family we just can’t thank you enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Learners Nursery School Chester has been nothing short of fantastic since our daughter joined a little over a year ago. The team are all super, friendly, and our daughter loves spending time there.
Our daughter was diagnosed with a food allergy, and the whole nursery team, including the chef,
have been so accommodating to all her needs. We feel very reassured that all the nursery staff are adept in handling the specific dietary requirements of their children.
Due to some recent health issues, we have had to increase our daughters’ days at the nursery on short notice. The nursery manager and her team have exceeded all of our expectations and have been unbelievably accommodating and supportive throughout the whole process. We can’t thank them enough!
We would highly recommend this nursery to any prospective parents, and we look forward to our daughter spending another 2-years there.

Review from Aisling S (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our daughter started nursery in 2019, the staff at Little Learners could not have been more helpful, friendly or accommodating. No matter what our request they have accommodated us. This is our first child, and so we were nervous about settling her into a nursery full time. We needn’t have worried;
she seems to love it and love the staff. She holds her arms out to go to whatever staff member greets her with a smile in the morning. Using an app to keep us updated on her activities, food and sleep during the day is so reassuring. I always felt the nursery was very clean, however, since Covid and returning to the nursery after a few months at home it has got even cleaner. The steps the staff have taken to keep everyone safe and well are above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

From the moment I first visited the nursery, I got the feeling that it was a place where our child would be well looked after. All of the staff are amazing, so caring, supportive, attentive and fun. The activities that they do with the children are fab. The food provided always sounds delicious, our
little one loves the chef, would not hesitate to recommend Little Learners.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love Little Learners! My daughter used to attend a different nursery before and we had to switch nurseries at very short notice due to me starting a new job. Now fast forward to 7 months later, my girl absolutely loves it there. Everyone is always nice always smiling. They are very passionate about
the kids. They are also very good with parents. They are always available to chat and have all the information that a parent might need.
The biggest test was definitely the last couple of months with the Coronavirus situation. They were amazing with everything. When it was time for my daughter to restart nursery, they were very understanding that she was trying to settle back into the old routine. They were incredible and helped her to settle back in very quickly. Lovely staff, HIGHLY recommend.

The nursery has been fantastic with everything. My daughter only attended for a short time prior to the Covid-19 outbreak but she loves the nursery and can’t wait to get back.
The staff have been in regular touch throughout and we have arranged her days for September.
I couldn’t recommend them highly
enough. Great value too.

Lovely nursery with wonderful staff who are friendly, caring and hard working. My son really loves it at Little Learners. The door to their garden is always open for the children to play in and on a bad weather day they take them into the gym for a runaround. There is always a friendly hello and goodbye
from all the staff even if my son is not in their room. They were very accommodating during the lockdown period and worked hard to provide a service to key workers. It may not be the biggest of nurseries but it more than makes up for it in the amazing care and attention that they provide to all of the children.

I am delighted that our daughter attends Little Learners Nursery School Chester, as the staff are committed and always happy to discuss any concerns I might have. She was only nine months old when I had to leave her, so it was an especially tough time for us both. Now I know that my worries were completely
unnecessary as my baby is in good hands and she is very happy, so this only confirms to me the quality of the nursery. She has developed so much and keep surprising me every day with her motor skills. I would definitely recommend Little Learners Nursery School Chester with no hesitation.

My son has been going to Little Learners since he was 18 months old, he is now in the preschool room and will be starting primary school in September.
Little Learners has always been a great nursery but since the Coronavirus pandemic started they have really been amazing. They stayed open for key worker
children and at the same time provided endless support for families of children that had to stay home. Everything from regular social media posts with staff reading stories and singing nursery songs to activity ideas and home packs were made for us to collect so that we could simulate activities that were done in nursery. They even arranged Zoom calls for the children to be able to stay in touch with their friends!
Settling my son back in when he went back was no problem either, he’s missed nursery so much he ran in! The ‘new normal’ has been transitioned in seamlessly. My son has loved every minute of nursery and we will be extremely sad when he leaves! An amazing nursery.

My daughter joined Little Learners in 2016 and I’ve nothing but praise for the whole establishment. She has loved every minute there and that is down to the amazing staff.
Every room she has been in, she has thrived. I’m so proud of how the staff have helped shape her. They are accommodating in every
way and really understand the needs of the child.
My daughter is due to leave this summer to go to Primary school and we will miss the place as much as her. Thank you for all you have done for my daughter.

When we were looking for a nursery for our daughter we looked at a lot, when we both went to Little Learners we knew it would be a great fit. It felt cleaner and friendlier than others we visited.
Our initial impressions were right. Our daughter has been going to LL for three years now and we have
only high praise for the staff and managers here. Especially when they have been so helpful and kept brilliant communication during Covid lockdown.
We have never had any issues with the care given, the atmosphere is happy and conducive to learning and fun.

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.
