  • Little Learners Nursery School, Skegness
Little Learners Nursery School provides day care for children aged from three months to five years between 8am and 6pm. The nursery is located on two different nursery sites. Ensuring that both babies and younger children are provided the care and attention they need.

Located in the centre of Skegness, the nursery is conveniently located for access by public transport and car. Little Learners Nursery site is located on Lumley Ave and Little Learners Pre-school site is located on Lincoln Road.

The team are highly qualified and committed to providing enriching experiences for children, helping to shape them into kind, independent and successful members of the community.

Little Learners Nursery for babies and younger children (aged 3 months to 3 years) provides a warm and welcoming home from home environment. It has been purpose-built to provide a safe and secure place that is rich and stimulating. Every room has been carefully planned with the developmental needs of the children in mind. They offer high quality natural resources that are easily accessible to children. The team believe that children learn best through following their own interests, having hands-on experiences and revisiting and repeating aspects of their play, with the support of responsive adults.

The Pre-School room has places for up to 48 children, aged 3 to 5 years. Children are actively involved in their learning as they initiate their own play, with practitioners facilitating and extending the children's interests through planned activities. All resources are easily accessible, enabling children to be independent, create their own tasks, find their own solutions and develop their ideas. By the time children move on to school they have developed into confident learners who are equipped with essential skills and ready to meet the challenges ahead.

Amazing staff, 2 of my boys have attended here and couldn't fault anything. They always come home happy and have learnt so much from the key workers! The special educational needs and disabilities support is amazing as well and really helped a lot to support my son and our family! Will continue to send
my future children as well!

My twins started Little Learners in September. At first, it was nerve-wracking for all of us however the staff made the kids settle in so easily.
One staff member in particular is a credit to the nursery. She's so kind and patient with my children, and I can see she adores them as much as they adore
her.
I will forever be grateful for the staff at Little Learners' kindness and patience towards my two.

All three of my children attended both the nursery and the preschool and I would highly recommend them to everyone.
Friendly and loving staff from cook up to management!
My children got treated absolutely amazingly and went above and beyond! If it wasn't for the Special Educational Needs Coordinator
at preschool my son wouldn't have his autism diagnosis. Nothing was too much trouble! It was sad when it was time for my children to leave to go to school.
They still help now if I have any worries or trouble. The staff ended up becoming good friends!
5 stars from me and my family!

I am extremely happy with this preschool. They tell you everything you need to know when you pick up your child and are always happy to answer all of your questions/concerns.
I feel completely confident that my child is in the best hands when she is there. She looks forward to going every day and is
always in the best mood when I pick her up.
Staff goes above and beyond with your child, my daughter is obsessed with her! Says she is always playful and super helpful.
The only downside is every parent's bill is wrong every single month and you are constantly having to chase (every day) to pay your own bill and for it be corrected and the new system to view updates of your child is awful. The previous app was so much better.
But overall, I am extremely satisfied with the level of childcare provided for my child.

Almost 2 years at the nursery and my daughter can’t stop talking about how much she loves being at the nursery. All the staff members are so nurturing and supportive towards both my child and all the other kids. They are first-class staff, very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable and always place the
well-being of the children first. Especially my daughter’s key worker she is so caring and loving and gives the best hugs. Keep up the good work, you are all amazing. A big thank you to all of the team.

My little girl loves to go to Little Learners Nursery School. Every morning when she wakes up she always asks with excitement is she going there today too. The staff is lovely and they are always happy to help with any questions. They do have a parent app too so I am happy to see what my child will
be going to do that week. Overall it's a great nursery school and most of all my child loves it.

Never ever met so many nice and caring staff that go above and beyond, making sure my son flourishes to his full potential, so much support is offered and so many great activities, my son always comes home and is so excited to go to school each morning, he loves going to school to see his friends but
he is also the most excited to see the staff at school and he always talked about the staff so fondly, my son is absolutely shining and I can’t thank this preschool enough for everything they have done for my son, he has learnt so much stuff since attending preschool and he really does enjoy coming to school, he loves the outdoors, even when my son is not at school he always mentions how great the teachers are and says they are like his best friends. Preschool is lovely and clean. My son was struggling with counting so he got offered more support within a week he was counting in order and all the way past 11, I love that you get regular updates too. So nice to see and see him shine.

Little Learners is just wonderful! Both of my children have attended Little Learners Nursery and Pre-School, without any problems or concerns. The staff are utterly brilliant, their facilities are fantastic and the learning materials are great. I honestly couldn’t give one fault to this nursery. It’s
got my recommendation every time. I leave my children happy and content and that’s just how I pick them up...but with bigger smiles!

My child really loves going to Little Learners Nursery School, it has such a welcoming atmosphere making it very easy to drop your child off, knowing they are happy and comfortable. The staff are frankly incredible, where they get their energy from, I do not know! The staff are great at giving feedback
at the end of the day, which does make you feel connected to your child whilst they are at nursery, together with the app updates. The admin staff are equally as brilliant, easy to talk to and answering any queries I have. So happy this is the nursery we chose 2 years ago!

Both my daughters have attended the pre school at Little Learners Nursery School. They have both enjoyed their time there. My youngest who is currently there has massively come out of her shell since starting and loves going and especially playing in the sand pit. She has built a lovely relationship
with her key worker who is lovely.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Little Learners Nursery School 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.976 for Little Learners Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 Learners Nursery School is based on 21 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
