Fantastic nursery. My daughter has grown in both skill and confidence since starting preschool. I am very pleased we made the move and have a second child starting in the baby room soon.
I couldn't recommend Little Leprechauns more.

Knowing that our daughter is safe, loved, and taught well is all we could ask for as busy working parents. She is always enthusiastic to go to nursery and met with a smile. The staff understand each child and are supportive of parents too. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience of school.
P.S. Our little girl can't get enough of the food on offer; she nearly always has seconds!

We have had 2 children at the nursery during this year. The support and hard work helped my son transition to school. Our daughter has also received extremely good care from being a baby. She has developed incredibly. The staff are very friendly and the nursery is managed very well.

We're so glad we picked this nursery. The staff are excellent and very attentive. I love that the staff seem to know all the children's names regardless of what room they're in, which is great for drop off as my little one has always been welcomed with his name and a big smile no matter who's on reception.
The variety of activities they do is really great and I can see how much my child enjoys his time there. The staff are very kind, especially the baby room manager. During a recent professional photoshoot, my child became very anxious. The nursery staff offered to take photos in the nursery, which ended up as a mini DIY photo shoot by the baby room manager, resulting in 16 plus photos of my little one laughing and smiling in his nursery uniform. You can see how happy he is and how comfortable he is with the staff. It was such a kind gesture. The staff love what they do and it really shows. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little boy.

My son has been going here for just over a year and he has come on so much since he started! As a lockdown baby, he was so behind in his social skills and speech but even just a couple of months there and he showed a big improvement. They are always so attentive to his needs and so patient with him,
even on his bad days. He's always so happy to run on in every day he is there. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Little Leprechauns day nursery is 5 star! I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else! My child has been going since being 1 year old, he has grown in confidence and comes home after every session with stories to tell of what he has been doing.
Being milk intolerant, his needs have always been met and never
overlooked. Meals are all home-cooked and healthy.
When my son started attending he was very shy and not used to being around others after the pandemic, little leprechauns always reassured me and nothing was never too much hassle. They have patience and my son always says they are his best friends. I will be sad when he leaves next year. Fantastic nursery and setting.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for over a year now and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. All the staff are lovely and going to nursery is the highlight of her week! Knowing your child is in a safe, supportive and happy environment is priceless. Especially as she is developing
so much too! I'm so pleased she attends Little Leprechauns, I would (and have!) recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in Chesterfield.

I can never fault this nursery for what they have done for my daughter over the last seven months. She has learnt so much whilst being there and is always so excited to go there. My daughter has been to three different nurseries and Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is by far the best place she has been
to.

Both my children attend Little Leprechauns Day Nursery and absolutely love it. Right from the start they have always been passionate, friendly and helpful towards our family. The staff are great and when our eldest leaves to go to big school in September. I know she will miss it. Luckily she can still
visit when dropping off her brother. Would definitely recommend.

I am so proud of how well my son has come on from day one of joining Little Leprechauns. He is always happy to go and is always excited to tell me what he's been doing when I pick him up. The staff work so hard with the children doing shows for the parents and praising the children for their efforts
too. I'm so grateful to all the staff for everything they do. Everything you would want a nursery to be Little Leprechauns is. Thank you.

I looked around a number of nurseries and chose Little Leprechauns because it had a lovely feel about it. The staff are very calm, positive and loving. My little boy settled very quickly after a good transition. Staff take their time to talk you at hand over, and my little boy gets very excited when
we turn the corner and park on the road where the nursery is. He has done some great activities and brought some lovely things home with him. We loved the birthday card that he made for his brother. Thank you to all staff that support my little one.

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.
