Ever since coming to view Little Leprechauns me and my son felt very comfortable. My son has developed so much and I love how well the staff are with my son and me.
The staff are so amazing.

My daughter has had a fantastic time at nursery, the teachers are always very focused on her well-being and are always able to tell me what she's been doing that day and if there's anything to be concerned about.
My daughter's academic skills i.e. writing, counting are really good and nursery have
helped with this a lot with learning through play.

Nervous about moving from Northants to Chesterfield, I quickly realised there was no need. He has settled in so well and has grown in confidence and has developed in so many ways which is a great credit to all the staff at the nursery.
He loves going to nursery and has made loads of friends. A great
foundation for him before he starts school in September.

Little Leprechauns is a fantastic nursery. My son has come on brilliant since starting and he has developed good relationships with staff members. The staff are friendly and helpful at all times and do their best to make parents and children feel at ease. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The
staff listen and support the children in learning and developing and keep parents informed of their child's progress. I'm so happy this is the nursery we chose, as my little boy comes out with a smile and can't wait to tell me about his day.

My son has been at nursery for 18 months and has come on leaps and bounds with his speech and learning in that time. He loves being at nursery and all his teachers and is always itching to get in. I wouldn't send him anywhere else.

The staff here are fantastic and like a second family to my son. My son has a great bond with his keyworker, he always asks after her. They are always quick to report any incidents and will phone me if they deem it necessary.

Little Leprechauns was my first choice for many reasons. I wanted the absolute best for my daughter and this nursery ticked all of the boxes for me. As a teacher, I understand the importance of the relationship between parents and nursery and I can say that as a family, we have always felt important
and that nothing is too much trouble. The standard of care is first class and I know that my daughter is in the very best hands whilst I am at work. Excellent nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.949 for Little Leprechauns Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 31 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 31 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.
