Since my little boy joined the Tweenies room he has loved every minute he used to be quite shy and cry for me in the room below Tweenies but he runs straight in now. When he comes home he's always shouting the nursery staffs names telling me he wants to go to school and play with his friends so I know
he is safe and enjoying himself. His skills socially and physically have come on so well and his confidence is amazing. The options of meals cooked by the nursery chef are always good and healthy too which as a mum reduces that stress of anxiety and whether your child is getting what they need.

daughter has come on leaps and bounds developmentally and socially since starting here and I can't recommend this setting highly enough

Amazing nursery. Staff are so friendly and not only build great relationships with the children, but also great relationships with parents which makes me feel so much more at ease leaving my child. My child loves going to nursery and often gives the staff lots of cuddles so he definitely feels comfortable
and happy to be with them.

My son started here when he was 11 months old and from the beginning he settled really well and adapted to his nursey routine. His development has come on amazingly and he is developing into a confident, smart, funny little boy. He loves going to 'school' as he calls it and every time I pick him up
the first thing he tells me is 'he's had a good.' The staff are amazing, my son always talks about them in and out of nursery. Very happy I chose to send my son here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't be happier with the nursery or the staff. My daughter struggled with seperation anxiety and also transitioning between rooms, but the staff have been wonderful. So patient and caring, my daughter absolutely loves the girls in the Tweenie room. She has made so much progress not only in terms
of academics but socially. As a parent it's a big thing to place your trust in others to look after the most precious thing to you, and the staff here have more than proved it was the right choice.

My son started here as a 10-month-old baby and settled very quickly. This was just after all of the imposed lockdowns. He developed very quickly and at every stage was always very happy to go in. I always felt his key workers knew him well, especially in the preschool room.

My child settled in straight away. He loves the staff and is always happy when dropping him off. He has come on loads since being in the nursery. It's safe to say it's one of his favourite places and his face lights up when he sees the staff and other children who he can play with.

I just want to say a big thank you from my child and myself to you all, he has really enjoyed coming to the after-school club/holiday club over the last two years and I see how much it’s helped him develop into a more independent/lovely young boy. But I need to say a big thank you as when I first moved
back to the North West and started a new job, I massively struggled with the childcare situation, but after speaking with you, we were able to find a resolution which not just helped me, it allowed me to stay within the new role I had just taken on. I cannot express how much this helped us start up in the Northwest which was all new to my boys, so thank you from my heart, I know from my child's emotions on his last day and from what he has said he will miss you all so much. Thank you again so much.

I’ve never once had any problems or concerns over my child being in this nursery! The staff have always been very welcoming since the very start, and always very helpful, I’d definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a nursery! My child has progressed amazingly since being at this
nursery, and has always been very happy and has made lots of friends, and gets along very well with every staff member!

Amazing nursery, the staff treat the children like their own.
Since my daughter started there she has come on so much, her speech is amazing and the nursery also are great at giving tips on things such as potty training etc.
The food they prepare there is all fresh and healthy.
And the range of
activities they provide each day are educational and fun for the children. Not a bad word to say.

Our little boy has been going here since 9 months old and he always has such an amazing time! Transitioning between rooms was done really well with lots of room visits leading up to the big change. Staff are so friendly and caring towards the children and we get regular updates throughout the day about
what he has been up to, what he has eaten when he slept etc. We couldn’t have picked a better nursery, our little boy has grown up so much and is continuing to learn new things all the time!

I moved my daughter here after getting a new job. I was amazed how after one visit she just walked in and handed over her dummy seeing this made me feel so happy. She is giving all the attention she is needed and has developed so much within her short time being here. The commutation is all online and
I get an email every afternoon telling me everything she has done and this makes me so happy when I get a break from work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I don't even know where to begin! I don't think I could find more caring people if I tried. My daughter used to have a childminder, I enrolled her into Early Learners and haven't looked back. My baby son and daughter are thriving, the staff engage with the children and babies in their care very well.
I like the way they document the activities my children undertake and let me know about their day.


My daughter is coming along with her speech and motor skills very well due to the activities the children are allowed to participate in, if wanted. Even my baby has done a painting for mummy, this made my day. I can't thank the staff and can't recommend Early Learners enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Early Learners Nursery Runcorn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.689 for Early Learners Nursery Runcorn is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (17 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.689
  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 Early Learners Nursery Runcorn is based on 28 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
