I am delighted with the progress he has made at the nursery. Initially, he was hesitant to stay, but now he enjoys attending. We have noticed significant improvements in various activities. He can count from 1 to 10 independently, sing songs with accompanying dances, identify colours, and engage in
many other activities. He has developed a particular love for painting and reading books, skills we believe he has acquired from the nursery. The staff at the nursery are also wonderful with him, providing a nurturing and supportive environment. Thank you to the nursery team for your dedication and care in fostering such a positive and enriching experience for him.

My son has been with this nursery since they took over a few years ago. He absolutely loves school and is always excited for Tuesday when he is at nursery. The staff are amazing and are always available to help when asked. We have a very in-depth handover both in the morning and in the evening when
collecting him. The manager and staff have not only been there for my son but also for me when I have needed support. All the staff are so friendly and I couldn't ask more of them, the manager and cook. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

My daughter joined this nursery in April she is shy and doesn’t normally like leaving me but since starting nursery and going to early learners she has loved it the first few days she settled in so well and I love how they have an app so you can message to see how they are doing! Also keeps me updated
when she has been to the toilet and eaten! The staff that work there are incredible and lovely always hold the door for me when I am there with my double pram and my daughter just loves it they always set up activities for her and do assessments for her development which makes me so proud of her. I am so happy I chose this nursery!

My son has been attending this nursery full time from 11 months old! He absolutely loves going to nursery and is always happy and smiling when being picked up!
He thoroughly enjoys messy play and daily circle time, my child’s speech and knowledge has come on leaps and bounds. He is able to recognise
numbers, shapes, colours, and letters. They have also been learning him phonics which is amazing!
My child is a very big eater, he loves meal times at nursery the range of meals are excellent. Portions are made to meet his appetite and is always offered more if still hungry.
As a mum, I really enjoy the “stay and play” sessions where myself and other family member are able to stay and join in crafts and activities within the nursery! Myself, Dad, and grandparents loved the Mother/Father’s Day celebrations the nursery went above and beyond!!
The girls are amazing and are more like an extended family rather than a care provider! They are an amazing team!

Early Learners is a lovey nursery and O highly recommend it to friends and family. The staff and management team are very helpful and are easily approachable. They are helping my daughter to settle into nursery great and trying different strategies to help her adapt to nursery life. They are always
very welcoming when I drop my little one off.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My seven year old daughter attended when it was known as Precious Little Ones and she loved it. So naturally when I was looking for a nursery for my seventeen month old son, I went straight there. The nursery was taken over by new management just days before my son was due to start in November 2022.
My son absolutely loves going to nursery and will point at nursery if we have to walk past on a weekend. The staff there are amazing with my son and nothing is too much trouble. They are extremely caring and very well equipped for anything that may arise. The app that the new management (Early Learners Nursery) have is fantastic. I can see a daily diary of my son's day and it is regularly updated with observations and photographs. This is a great tool for communication, which has massively improved from the previous owners. The improvement the new owners have made to the nursery overall and the rooms is fantastic. I would highly recommend Early Learners Parr to anyone looking for a nursery.

Review from Adrian M (Father of Child) published on 13 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I can't really recommend this nursery. Since they took over from the previous nursery, the staff is always changing, new faces every month, no continuity, few activities on celebration days and none or absent during the year. They let them play or watch TV most of the day, with little or absent supervision
(as they are understaffed) and my son had always arguments and little accidents with a problematic boy, as the staff is more concerned preoccupied on enjoying social media time or chatting. There used to be a time (before they took over the previous company) when the staff at that time was more preoccupied with the children, did more activities together and it was showing in my son's behaviour, learned skills, etc but nowadays is a disappointment. The only good bit is that they renewed the toys for the kids to play with, but that doesn't balance the scale in my overall opinion.

My son absolutely loves coming to nursery, he has the most fun and there are always lots of sensory and messy play activities planned. All the staff have been so welcoming and caring and are all a credit to the nursery. He is thriving and developing so much and I am kept well updated with his daily
diary and observations on the app. He has also been eating brilliantly, a lot of extra portions too. The nursery is clearly well-managed and maintained and I would highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Early Learners Nursery Parr is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.972 for Early Learners Nursery Parr is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.972
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Early Learners Nursery Parr is based on 12 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.75
  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.
