Overall Early Learners Nursery has been fantastic, they always have enough staff to accommodate the amount of children.
The happy and friendly personality of the staff members is always a welcome sight for my child and he is always happy to be there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Review from Jodie S (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.747 for Early Learners Nursery Runcorn is calculated as follows: ( (409 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (17 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 463 Ratings = 4.747
  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 37 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 37 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.
