The staff have made a huge effort to welcome my little boy. They are always so caring and warm when we drop him off, he loves going to nursery. They do lots of creative and developmental activities which keep him entertained and help him learn new skills. The staff are also great at offering regular
updates on how my little boy is doing via the app and quick chats when you collect your little one which helps ease any worries about being away. Great facilities and lovely staff. A home away from home for my little one.

My daughter has been at Early Learners since around 11 months old. She's now 4 and on her transition into primary school. Placing her into the nursery at a young age was scary but our daughter has reaped the rewards of the time and care put into her by the staff. She's a very clever child and advanced
beyond her age I really do believe it's down to her being at Early Learners. I honestly can't fault them and all the staff. They generally love children and you can see they enjoy there job. I love the bond my daughter has with the staff and the respect and admiration she shows for them tells me everything about how they are with her. A big thank you to all the staff. We have our favourites but I honestly can't fault 1 of you.

My daughter has attended Early Learners from 1 year old right through to preschool and we couldn't recommend Early Learners Nursery enough. The staff are what make it, especially in the preschool room.
My daughter enjoys the wide range of activities they do every day, ranging from crafts, role play,
fun in the playground, etc. The food is great as well, I was very surprised to see my baby was eating salmon couscous!
There is a handy app to get daily updates on what they eat and what activities they got up to that day. This is especially useful in the baby room when you are trying to keep track of naps, nappy changes, bottles, etc.
My favorite has been the stay-and-play mornings, occasionally allowing parents to attend and join in activities on special occasions like Mother's Day, Christmas, etc.
I'm so happy we chose Early Learners Nursery for our little girl, the staff have been instrumental in our daughter's development and we are sad to be leaving soon, but they have given her the best start ready for school.

My child had attended nursery here from the age of 3 to almost 5 and loved it. The staff are caring and kind. They provide fun and stimulating activities and my child thrived here with his education and his independence. A year later to the present day he now attends holiday club here because he feels
safe and cared for he chose to return to have some summer fun in an environment that makes him feel happy. The staff are very supportive.
I have now chosen to place my baby here in the new year with every confidence she will be well looked after and will learn and thrive.

Both of my children attended Early Learners (I chose it for them as I attended in the 1980s). They absolutely loved going to nursery every day. They had consistent teachers, who they adored and I was always made to feel welcome with regular stay and play sessions. Regular feedback on progress is given
and the children follow strict planning which helped them achieve their goals. Was so sad to leave and would highly recommend it to any potential new parents.

Early Learners is a fantastic setting, I was very comfortable allowing my little girl to attend this nursery, with long-standing staff members who have been around since I attended the same nursery 30 years ago! The staff and setting are lovely throughout the different years, with plenty for the children
to get creative with and develop their learning. My daughter hit all her milestones and I’m very happy with the nursery.

Early Learners Nursery Widnes are amazing. I can’t recommend them enough.
From day one they have made us feel very welcome and my little tweens settled into nursery so quickly with a smile at the end of most days which was absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on them. Every morning and
evening you are greeted with smiling faces and they really do seem to love their jobs.
Early Learners Nursery Widnes is a very special place.
Special thanks to two staff members in particular.

My son attends the baby room at Early Learners Nursery Widnes.
He has come on so much since starting and I can't thanks the girls enough
He is thoroughly looked after and parents are always welcomed to take part in activities that the staff organise. We attended a rhyme time class today and it was
so much fun and lovely for us to see how well Reuben's coming along
The food is excellent and varies each day

My daughter attended Early Learners Nursery for the last five years, which have all been fantastic. They have played an integral part in the early years of my child and they take learning and development really serious. Their staff rarely change so there is consistency for your child and they manage
the age groups perfectly. It is a family run business and this does come through. Xmas play my child took part in as Mary is one of my greatest memories as a parent. Fantastic, caring, loving nursery. Thank you for the last five years.

I have always been very happy with this nursery - staff, food, cleanliness and have also enrolled my second child.
Parents meetings and emails are very informative and I feel that I am very involved.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Early Learners Nursery Widnes 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.980 for Early Learners Nursery Widnes is calculated as follows: ( (335 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.98

  • 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 Early Learners Nursery Widnes is based on 29 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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
