Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been going to the preschool room since October 2019. She settled very quickly and absolutely loves going there. She could not wait to be back after the lockdown. She loves all the staff who look after her, especially her key worker. The range of extra activities they lay on for the
children make it seem great value. Management have always been flexible and accommodated our needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All of the staff go above and beyond to ensure that your little one is in the best care.
The curriculum is varied and age-appropriate within/outdoor play areas, woodland walks, Spanish lessons and swimming.
The staff are very attentive to you and the little
ones' needs. The daily feedback and progress reviews are informative and relevant.
The food is great and the cook is very amiable to individual needs. The proprietor is also very much involved, ensuring good quality service provision.
I can not praise this nursery enough, a real family feel, with professional/highly qualified staff that are led by an outstanding manager.

The parent communication and child education experience has been excellent. The staff are fantastic with our son and he loves his time there! Over the lockdown, the management have kept engaged with us and provided additional activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is run by the most passionate team, they all are so dedicated to the children and their development. My daughter has been there for nearly 2 years and loves attending. She would go 7 days a week if she could as she has so much fun.
The team pulled together through COVID-19 ensuring
the children came first as always and felt safe in such troubled times.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent as your child will thank you for it and you know you are leaving your child in the best hands possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three-year-old son absolutely loves nursery. The staff there are very caring and supportive. Whenever I drop him off, I know he's in safe hands. He has been attending for the past two years full time as I needed to return to work full time. This in itself was a hard process (for me really!), as it
didn't take long for my son to settle in. During lockdown, they have been very helpful with advising and providing home learning packs. He is looking forward to returning back to nursery.

Absolutely love this nursery. Got a great feeling right away. Really welcoming and my little man felt right at ease. They have worked with us when we have had attachment issues and really helped both me and him settle. He has done really well with toileting there, showing me they listen to and understand
my child. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners in Chester for just over two years now. She started off in the baby room and the love and care she has received have been second to none.
Her favourite part of nursery is definitely the food!. All the staff at Little Learners are fantastic and it’s nice
dropping her off and going to work not having to worry about her, I know she is in safe hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at the nursery, with my first going since 2017. I cannot recommend Little Learners enough, they are fantastic. The staff are so lovely and nothing is too much trouble. My children absolutely love going! We will be sad when our little girl has to leave to go to school.
I also wanted
to say how brilliant they have been with my children who have now returned to the nursery after the lockdown. Again, they have settled the children so well and they were soon back into the routine. All the necessary precautions in place without the children really noticing a difference. Brilliant!

All staff are very friendly and caring. My ten-month-old son has settled much quicker than I expected. They are accomodating and listen to parents. They have been excellent throughout the Covid pandemic - pragmatic and sensible for us as key workers. My husband and I are very happy with our choice of
nursery. One member of staff in particular is great but all the staff we've come into contact with are amazing. Thank you.

Everyone in this nursery is very positive, helpful and caring about our kids.
I'm extremely happy with them. They take over my daughter when she was 18 mounts old and they helped me to go through very difficult times for my little one.

Review from Kelly G (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As any first time mother, I was extremely anxious for my 15 month old little boy starting nursery. However, I was soon relieved of my fears. My son loves his day there and runs into the room. The staff have been exceptional in their care, very encouraging and loving to him. They asked a lot of questions
to make sure they were able to make him happy and comfortable. At pick up time, they give a lot of time aside to talk about his day and progress. the room and toys are always clean. The outside space is excellent and the children get to use the sports hall for activities.

Little Learners is full of smiles, from the staff and the children. My little boy has been in the baby room since he was 6 months and they have been brilliant! I feel at ease leaving him there and we hardly ever have tears. The girls here are very professional and happy to advise if I have any queries.
We have never had any problems and i'm sure this will continue. Little Learners is a great team! We can't fault!

Little Learners staff are passionate about their jobs and the children. There is a great variety of activities and toys for everyday play. My child has really developed in many areas since starting the nursery and it's all down to the wonderful, caring staff and all their hard work. I feel confident
that my child will have a great day when he is surrounded by people who are always smiling, communicating and showing affection towards him. Couldn't ask for a better environment for my son.

Our granddaughter attends Little Learners Nursery School Chester four days a week and she looks forward to and thoroughly enjoys her time there. She is growing into a kind, caring and confident little girl for which the nursery has to share credit.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over the 8 month's my son has attended this nursery his confidence has massively improved. He was always the shy kid at parent-child groups before attending nursery, however, with lots of attention and activities personalised to him he has become a very outgoing, funny character. The staff are also
very helpful for giving advice and supporting myself and my husband with helping our son to learn boundaries. The staff are very friendly and those who have worked closely with my son have excellent relationships with him!

Little Learners staff always go above and beyond to be welcoming, look after and provide excellent care for my child. Since acquiring a place at this nursery, my child has developed so much in terms of confidence, speech, ability, and made lovely friends. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone

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.
