Our daughter has attended Mini Me's Nursery since she was a year old. We have been really happy with the service provided. Staff create a fun and exciting learning environment for the children. We are impressed with the activities they design. As a result I feel our daughter has progressed faster and
will be ready for school. The outdoor space is very large and the children get plenty of fresh air. We would not hesitate to recommend Mini Me's.

I can't recommend Mini Me's Nursery enough. All of the staff are super friendly and go above and beyond, not to only make my daughter's time at nursery super fun and special but to also make me, a first time mum who'd never left her child, feel at ease and confident that I made the right decision to
return to work. I knew as soon as I visited, had a look around and spoke to the wonderful staff that this was the nursery for us. I've seen my daughter come on leaps and bounds. Her speech has improved so rapidly. Due to Covid-19 she changed from a very outgoing and smiley baby girl who loved attention to a super shy and anxious toddler who kept her head down if anyone made eye contact with her. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to return to work and let her start at nursery. It took a few weeks but she came back out of her shell. I love it on sunny days when I pick her up and can see her playing with the other kids in the playground. I can't thank everyone at Mini Me's Nursery enough!

Brilliant nursery! My son loves going to play and learn too. He always comes out with a big smile on his face and tells me about his day and he always says he has fun.
Brilliant and friendly staff too!

I am very pleased with how all the staff are with my son. He loves to go to school at Mini Me's and never comes back clean! Sign of a good, fun day! Would definitely recommend. They always phone to let me know if there's any problems (accident, bump etc).

I have been using Mini Me's Nursery for almost 2 years now full time and couldn't be happier with the service I get. My little one has thrived in their care, he has built so many excellent strong bonds with the staff and other children there. Throughout the staff have given me feedback on his progress
and key areas which I can focus on at home. They are always happy to give advice when I ask questions about development and any issues I may have. They have remained open throughout Covid and I cannot thank them enough for this. They all have been welcoming, remained cheerful for the children in this difficult time and ensured that health and safety has remained a priority.

Overall I am very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend to family and friends. Initially my little boy struggled to settle and didn’t want to be left, the ladies in the two to three room were really good with him especially his key worker, he settled within a few sessions. My little boys
always enjoys attending. The meals are varied and nutritious. He enjoys the large outdoor space, this was one of many reason we chose this setting. The staff are very friendly and give lots of information about his day.

Mini Me's nursery has been the constant reliable place for my small family for the last four years. All the staff here are incredible and go above and beyond. My children have developed so much faster in preparation for school. They have made many friends here and always come home with plenty of stories
to tell about the fun things they have been doing throughout the day. I have a lot of admiration for this nursery and the people that work there. The little treats and activities they do for charities and special occasions like birthdays, mothers day and fathers day really do separate them from the rest. Even during the pandemic, they have taken every precaution to keep things running so that we in turn can carry on doing our own important jobs. Thank you to everyone at Mini Me's Nursery for always being reliable and friendly. Our youngest daughter starts school in September and is more than ready, she is so much more outgoing than when she first arrived. It's great to see. Thank you, Mini Me's Nursery.

My son has been attending Mini Me's Nursery for 4 years. He is a confident little boy who has always been happy to go to nursery. The staff are caring, loving and they are part of the family. My son will also move into the holiday club.

I have found all the staff to be friendly, supportive and professional. My child enjoys his time there and has a great bond with the staff. The nursery is well organised, tidy and stimulating, The different areas are large and well thought out, with lots of different activities for children to engage
with.
It's such a relief to be able to leave my child in their care and be comfortable and confident that he will have a great day with them!

This nursery is very good and helped my son settle easily. There are some excellent staff and in particular my son's key worker. My son has really bonded with her as well as other staff, she thinks as a parent herself and any concerns she is happy to sort and make you at ease. Highly recommend this
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.
