Minibugs nursery in Liskeard is by far the best nursery. The staff go above and beyond for me and my son. His confidence and ability to do things have become so much better since being at Minibugs from April 2017. I wish I had known about it sooner. All the staff look after the children as I would look
after my children. I leave my son each day and I feel relaxed that he is in a loving caring and safe environment. Basically, I could write lots of things here that are brilliant but all I have to say is as a parent definitely send your children to Minibugs.

My son has been at Minibugs for almost a year now and he absolutely adores it! He goes two days a week. Every morning (even on non-nursery days) he asks to go. He's always happy going in and I've never had a problem or worries leaving him, even on his first day I felt comfortable. All the amazing workers
there are friendly, caring and more than happy to answer any questions. My son has been slightly slower with his speech, the nursery has been amazing with support and advice with anything and everything! They are flexible and have catered to any of our needs! They send out an email after every session he has, with a mini diary of his day, sometimes it even contains photos which is a brilliant idea and I almost feel involved in his day! As a first time mum, I thought my son going to a nursery would be so difficult but Minibugs have just been simply incredible! Couldn't recommend this nursery and all their staff highly enough! Thank you Minibugs Liskeard, for everything you do!

When I moved into the area I was little anxious for my son starting a new nursery. But on his first day, they made him so welcome at the nursery, which made him nice and calm.
Now he's been there for a month and he has settled in very well and the staff are very friendly.
One happy mum.

Minibugs Nursery Liskeard is a lovely nursery and brilliant staff. My little girl loves coming to nursery and doing all the different activities. There is so much outdoor space for my little one to play in, she loves it.

My grandson loves going to Minibugs, the management and staff are all amazing and make you feel very welcome. They all spend time with you letting you know how the children are getting on and what they have been doing in each session. My grandson is so excited to go in each session and goes straight
off to play, we have had no problems with him settling in.

We have a funded place for our son and he is now into his third week at Minibugs in Liskeard. We are thrilled so far by everything.
Our son thoroughly enjoys his sessions there,and having only just turned two and previously only ever staying with myself, Daddy or Nanna, he has quickly transitioned
into the nursery. This is solely down to each of the nursery staff. They are all fantastic and all seem to genuinely love their jobs and the children under their care. My son recognises the safe and friendly environment that the staff have created, and is thoroughly flourishing as a result. They seem keen to embrace each child's interests and positively encourage them in milestones, big or small. And they have all been great giving us lots of feedback after each session (even during sessions when Mummy felt anxious!)
We love the outdoor area, which is just amazing. My son loves to run down the ramp and be able to run wild in an area where he is completely safe to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.944 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Liskeard) is based on 12 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2, which has been reached with 12 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.
