Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In September we moved our 4 year old son from a different setting to Caterpillar Nursery. He settled in very easily, made lots of friends and is absolutely thriving under the care of the amazing team. He has a fantastic bond with his key worker, but we have really noticed how all of the staff have formed
a strong relationship with him.


Caterpillar Nursery always create a warm and fun environment with lots of varied activities and play based learning opportunities. Every Monday our son comes out buzzing to tell us what his new topic is for the week and what he's done so far. We are very impressed with the range of resources the Nursery have and how well the space has been thought out. It's clear a lot of planning goes into each term, including trips and visits from external people such as dance companies.


Communication is really clear and we have regular updates via an app.


We have absolutely no regrets in moving our son here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Caterpillar Nursery

My son has been attending caterpillars for the past 2 years and I have found all the staff very friendly and helpful. They change the activities and keep the children engaged. My son has additional needs which the staff have handled and catered for expectionally. They have helped our family in making
sure we have all the help and support not only in the nursery but going forward into the school setting. My child comes home very happy from Caterpillars and runs in every morning and as a parent that gives me the reassurance that he is happy and enjoys his time there.

Caterpillar nursery is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn. The teachers here are truly amazing - incredibly dedicated, patient, and nurturing. They go above and beyond to create a supportive and engaging environment where every child feels valued and loved. It's clear that they have a
passion for early childhood education and have a strong commitment to the well-being of each and every child. My son has thrived under their guidance, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care they provide. My youngest son now attends Caterpillar nursery because we love it so much! I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a fantastic nursery with truly caring teachers.
Reply from Cat Hall, Manager at Leechpool Caterpillar Nursery & After-School ClubHello Sophie, Thank you so much for this kind review it means a lot to all of us. We cant wait to wait them to continue to develop and grow here at Caterpillars.

My son has been at the nursery since September 2024. And all I can say is I would recommend this nursery to everyone. The staff and management are incredible. He is thriving in every aspect. He has become more confident, caring and his love for the teachers is so sweet. The areas of learning they provide
are of such a high quality and are uploaded to Facebook each morning so I can show him what he has to look forward to when he goes in! The staff put things onto the online app so I can see what he has been up to in the day and it's also lovely to look back on with him at the end of the day. I am so grateful to each of the staff because they have put my mind at ease that he is in a loving, attentive environment and they feel like family! The rooms are lovely with activities organised. The bonds he has made are forever! I wish I found this nursery sooner, I would urge everyone to send their children here. It is the best decision we ever made, we will forever be grateful to the staff!
Reply from Cat Hall, Manager at Leechpool Caterpillar Nursery & After-School ClubHello, thank you so much for this lovely review. He is a joy to have at nursery and we cant wait for the rest of the year with you all.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.414)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.414) out of 10 for Leechpool Caterpillar Nursery & After-School Club 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.914 for Leechpool Caterpillar Nursery & After-School Club is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.914
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leechpool Caterpillar Nursery & After-School Club is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 5 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.
