My experience so far has been good, I think I like the way I have been treated, the way they welcome and their hospitality is good and understandable. They are polite, I think I am happy with their services so far.

Amazing staff. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with her speech since starting nursery; they tell me everything that she's eaten and done throughout the day. They have also brought my daughter's confidence out.

Excellent nursery. Both children attended from being babies and left at reception age. Both children love coming to the nursery. All staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. They are very informative at pick-up times with meals and activities they have done that day. Management
same - a phone call or email away, and things are sorted, i.e. change of days or help with funded care, etc.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone, and I have to friends previously.

My little boy moved from his previous nursery setting to here, and you can already tell the difference. He is excellent with his speech development, and his confidence is at such a high with the support of all staff at Mini Me's. It is of great pleasure taking and picking him up from school, as you
can see the happiness bounce from him. I feel at ease leaving him here whilst at Uni and work as it is wholly known he is safe. Thank you, Mini Me's, for the support and love you give my son.

Mini Me's is a lovely nursery. My little boy attended the 3-4's room and loved it. He used to come home telling us everything he had learned throughout the day. The staff really do go above and beyond for all the children, and I always felt at ease while he was there. My little boy is now six and thriving
in school thanks to all the staff here for the best start in his journey. He still loves seeing everyone when he attends the holiday club and always has the best time on the trips.

My daughter loves attending Mini Me's Nursery, and she has learned so much while being there.
The team at this school are amazing, and nothing is too much trouble. They will go above and beyond to adapt certain things to your child's individual needs. I really appreciate the care given to my daughter
and the hard work which is put into teaching her and all of the children new things. She is always coming home singing a new song or playing a new game that she has been learning. Thank you everyone for all you do.

Brilliant nursery, all staff are very friendly welcoming, and lovely. Full updates on children every day, a lot of indoor and outdoor activities for all ranges of development, and all the activities are posted on their online page so you can see what your child has been up to.
Management are brilliant
and will help you in any way possible, which is very comforting. All in all, a brilliant nursery for children and even the holiday club is brilliant, they go out on trips to explore parts of Barnsley and tell the other staff all about it when they have returned to the setting, explaining what they have seen and learnt. Something for every child.

I have 2 children who attend, my eldest is 5 and has attended since he was 10 months old. Now at school he goes back to the holiday club they run. My youngest is 2 and has been attending since she was 9 months. They absolutely love it, the staff are fantastic. They create a homely atmosphere and truly
care about the children they look after and care for. The activities they do with the children are creative and fun and my children have thrived in their care.

I would highly recommend Mini Me's Nursery, my little boy attended since he was 8 months old and he always came home with a happy face. The ladies are all fantastic, they treat each individual like they are their own, the menus are varied and he always was given a nutritious meal, the activities they
do are amazing and the outdoor areas are fantastic. My little boy now attends the holiday club at Mini Me's and he always enjoys going, he takes part in a variety of activities whilst he is there. Fantastic nursery, with amazing staff.

My child has been attending Mini Me's for nearly a year now and she has come on leaps and bounds, the staff all love her and make her feel part of their big family. She loves her key person and I always get a full report of her meals and how she has been throughout the day. Would highly recommend this
nursery to anybody wanting their child to start!

My 2 children have attended Mini Me’s since since they were 6 months old. They really enjoy attending.
All staff who work with my children know them and their needs very well.
My children’s key workers have always been friendly and approachable and communicate well at pick-up and drop-off times.
The
nursery has excellent facilities including a dedicated outside area and dining room for babies up to 2 years.
I feel confident in sending my children to Mini Me’s as I know they will be excellently taken care of.

We absolutely love Mini Me’s. My little girl has attended from being 13 months old and has loved it since starting. The girls are professional, caring and very open, which I love! In all the time my daughter has attended I’ve never had a single issue with the nursery. I feel very at ease when she is
there and they keep me up to date on all of the milestones that she reaches. I’ll be so sad when it’s time for her to move on to big school.

All 3 of my children have or currently attend this nursery. The staff are caring, helpful, positive and treat my children as if they were their own. I absolutely love this nursery. Each time we take our children we feel secure knowing they are extremely well cared for. Nothing is too much trouble. Outstanding
facilities, learning, meals and outside play area. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with small babies and older toddlers - all ages are catered for.

Our daughter has attended Mini Me's Nursery from the age of one and is to start school in September this year. I have never had a single complaint about this nursery. The ladies there are amazing and my daughter comes out a happy girl every day which as a parent - I couldn't ask for anymore. She is
a bright little girl to which I thank the ladies at nursery. They are already prepping the children for school and I'm amazed at the things she tells me about that she has been learning - fantastic nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for Mini Me's 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.907 for Mini Me's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.907

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mini Me's Nursery is based on 18 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 126 number of registered child places is 25.2. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.2 = 0.714

  • 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.
