I have used the nursery for both of my children since 2020 and have always felt they are well cared for in every aspect. Both of them enjoy attending including the additional activities they do on Christmas/Halloween. My son is now at school and I felt he was well prepared for this transition thanks
to Little Leprechauns. It's a home away from home for both of my children.

My child has attended since he was just over 10 months old, he is now nearly 4, I have found the nursery to be excellent, he has formed bonds with the staff and other children and I will be sad when he eventually moves on.
They always keep you informed each session of what your child has been up to
and any additional info, if you would like help in any areas they will happily work on those areas.
The app also provides Information throughout the day of what your child is doing, overall excellent experience.

App is updated promptly. One staff member in particular does the best handovers- very detailed and always happy. My child loves going to nursery and his speech has improved massively. I like the amount of pictures that get uploaded too so I can see what he's been doing every day.

This nursery has had both of my children over the years- my youngest is still in attendance. They both started under one at around 9/10 months old and the way they developed whilst here was magnificent. They have both loved coming here and most of that is because of the staff. They are dedicated, caring
and passionate about the profession. The care they give is second to none. The activities on offer are always educational yet fun and the menu is thoroughly thought out and changed to match the seasons. I love that I get photos each day as a little update on the app so I can see what they've been up to! Nothing is too much trouble and they feel like part of our extended family. Would highly recommend it and wouldn't dream of sending my child/ren anywhere else!

My daughter has been coming here for coming up to a year in the baby room and she's come on leaps and bounds. I couldn't recommend Little Leprechauns enough, she loves coming to nursery and all the staff are so lovely and friendly and make such a fuss of her. I'm very glad we chose this nursery and
wouldn't take her anywhere else.

We are so happy with the standard of care that our baby receives from all the staff, but especially one lady. The thought of handing over my baby to someone else to look after all day really upset me, but as soon as we started at Little Leprechauns all of the staff were so welcoming, caring and professional
that my worries soon dissipated. Every member of staff that we see knows my baby's name and says hello when we arrive, and to see him settle so well is a testament to the love and care provided by all of the staff. He is learning so many new skills due to the varied and well-planned activities that the staff run every day for the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

My son has been going since June 2023 and when he first started he was delayed in his speech and quite a shy child. Since being with Little Leprechauns his speech has come on wonders with their program, every child's a talker and he's no longer a shy child! I recommend this nursery to everyone I speak
to regarding finding a nursery for their child.

My son has been here since September. And I can't believe how quickly he settled in and how much he has come on since. The staff are amazing and understanding. I can't thank you enough for what you do for my son. He loves coming here. Big thank you to one staff member in particular who goes above and
beyond with my son!

My daughter started at Little Leprechauns in January, I cannot believe how much she has learnt and developed already, from shapes and numbers to colours and animals and the sounds they make. I cannot thank the staff at Little Leprechauns enough for the help and support they offer her, she loves to attend!
I cannot recommend Little Leprechauns enough, knowing my child is in a safe and secure environment that challenges her daily with a variety of fun and educational activities. Thank you Little Leprechauns.

Our son has attended Little Leprechauns Day Nursery for around a year, we moved him from another nursery where he wouldn’t settle after months of attending. Since attending Little Leprechauns, he is a completely different child, his confidence has come on in leaps and bounds and he is always happy to
come to nursery, coming in with a beaming smile every day, I love that all the staff know his name, even the ones that don’t work in the preschool room! The nursery is so accommodating, recently we have been through a tough time at home and everyone was so supportive and helped out fitting us in for extra sessions where needed, even at short notice. Our son always enjoys his food here and always comes home telling us all about his day, we love that we get a photo posted on the app every session he attends. The variety of activities is fantastic and he is always doing something different, including trips. Will be sad in September when our son leaves for school, we can’t thank the staff enough for what they do!

Couldn’t ask for a better bunch of wonderful ladies to care for my daughter. She loves it at Little Leprechauns Day Nursery. They are all so informative on what’s happened throughout the day and we particularly love how they take her out on little trips round the town centre. 10/10.

Absolutely incredible nursery, wouldn’t have my children anywhere else. I sing this nursery's praises from the rooftops when anyone asks for nursery recommendations. Both of my children love attending nursery and walk in without as much as a bye! They are always well fed with nutritious food and fruit
snacks, regularly have second helpings and are always taking part in really fun, engaging and educational activities. They are also really attentive to any health needs my children have. I know my children love this nursery so much and it’ll be a very sad day when they move on to nursery.

This is a lovely nursery, my niece thrives here. Her speech and communication skills have come on so much and she loves all of the staff. When I collect I receive lots of feedback and know exactly how she’s been throughout the day. Thank you for all that you do.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.964 for Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (325 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.964

  • b) 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 Leprechauns Day Nursery 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
