My daughter has built a fantastic relationship with the staff, especially her key worker which she adores.
The nursery is very clean with a wonderful variety of toys and activities for the little ones. It's also great that they provide a variety of healthy food and snacks which is slowly helping my daughter to eat better.
I love that I can access updates and photos throughout the day and see what my little one has been up to and what new things she's learnt.
I would highly recommend Minibugs to anyone looking for a fantastic nursery.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.763) out of 10 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.885 for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.885
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 4.878 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Minibugs Nurseries Ltd (Wincobank) is based on 13 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.878
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.
