As a mother of a child that attends this nursery, I am pleased with the way my child is happy when he gets there. He gives his teachers a hug which shows he loves them and they must have been good and nice to him. I appreciate that.

Our son started in May having moved house and nursery (before welcoming a sibling!). Little Learners have been amazing in ensuring he settled in quickly and he has handled the transition so well which wouldn’t have been the case without the staff being so welcoming of him. He comes home happy after
every session and we’re confident he’s cared for well and has fun every time he goes. We would definitely recommend Little Learners.

Our son has been attending Little Learners Nursery School Chester for over 18 months and we are extremely happy about his time there. His days are incredibly varied with sports, Spanish, sensory, singing and so much more. The staff are friendly and personable and very quick to respond to any queries
or concerns. The food sounds amazing, and he seems to eat absolutely everything there! Our daughter is due to start in May and we had no hesitation at all about sending her there.

Our little boy has been at Little Learners for a year now (having started at nine months old). He is our second child to attend there after the first went through all the rooms from nine months old until he started school. We have had nothing but a great experience with all the staff in this nursery
and the way it is run. We had no hesitation in sending our second child here! All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it is obvious they all actually care about the children and aren't just there for any old job. They go to extra lengths, from making birthday cards with the children for family members to bringing in extra maths games to play with our eldest child when he needed more of a challenge. They are constantly changing the environments with new activities to stimulate the childrens interest. Also, the chef's cooking must be amazing! Our little boy seems to eat everything put in front of him! Good work, Little Learners - I can't recommend you enough!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both of our children have had a very positive experience at Little Learners. Our son spent just over a year in preschool and our daughter started in Tigers and is now in Upper preschool. The staff are without a doubt what makes this nursery so wonderful; it's like leaving your children with your own
family. They get to know each child as an individual and bring out the best of them. Both children adored their key workers (they did change from time to time initially due to staff turnover, but this has settled more recently) and we also have a great relationship with the staff and are kept well informed of the children's progress. The app is fab for keeping in touch and regular reports and observations are always really informative. The setting is fairly compact, particularly the outside areas but they make great use of the space. The resources are excellent and they do a great job of getting the children ready for school. Thanks for taking such good care of our little ones.

I highly recommend Little Learners. The staff are absolutely lovely and really care about the children. The nursery has been very helpful with settling in my child which has not been easy. They are always on hand to offer tips and advice and their communication is 100%. I can’t fault them in any way.
The facilities are great and the activities, visitors and events are very well thought out.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she has attended Little Learners since she was eight months old and has developed great relationships with the staff and children.


The staff are fantastic and always give updates on how her day has been, either through the app or face to face when

she is collected.


The staff in her room provide great learning opportunities, they make the most of their outdoor area and she loves her ballet classes too. They are able to cater for allergies and our daughter loves both the food and the chef!

Little Learners is a very well run nursery dedicated to children's care and development. They provide excellent communication tools like the family app and the catering and menu is top rate. The staff are very hardworking and the activities organised are inventive and inspiring. Overall the service
is value for money. The location is convenient they maximise the use of the gym, however - the outdoor space is the weakest point and is in need of improvement.

We were initially unsure when looking at nurseries due to the outside space but I couldn’t be happier with our choice to go there.
The efforts that the team go to with the children is fantastic. They are always doing fun and educational activities in a very caring setting. They also keep parents updated
regularly through the app which is a great way of staying connected. Meals are prepared on site by a wonderful cook who is lovely and my daughter loves all of the team there. They also do more outside activities as the kids get older which is more than enough to alleviate my original concern. Great place, would recommend.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

We got such a good feel from this nursery when being shown around by the then manager. The nursery have been welcoming and flexible and our daughter is slowly starting to settle in well. The team are quick to respond to queries and will put anything in place to support. For example, her key worker now
ensures she collects our daughter from the door (due to Covid restrictions) as previously she was being collected by staff she did not know and this was making her anxious. Our daughter has lots of opportunities to engage in activities that have provided us with inspiration for entertaining her at home. Although the outdoor space is small she loves this and I’m told she often wants to be outdoors. One improvement that could be made is the communication via the parent app as this is not always reflected accurately in terms of timings. It would also be nice for one or two photos to be loaded onto the app so that parents/carers can see what a child has engaged with that day.

Reply from Ellie Tew, Nursery Manager at Little Learners Nursery School Chester

Thank You for your lovely, honest review, Emily. We have loved welcoming you and your little one to the Little Learners' family, and are glad to hear we have inspired you at home, if we can think of any more ideas we will be sure to pass them onto you. We will also make sure that we continue to upload photos onto our app so you can see your daughter engaged at nursery.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners since April 2018 and has loved every moment. The staff are truly amazing and are so passionate about their jobs and obviously care deeply for the children they look after. I have never felt any concern or worry when leaving her with them and this is obvious
when I come to collect her. I can not fault any of the staff in the nursery and will be sending my soon to be born daughter without hesitation next year.
They also offer a great selection of meals on a rolling menu so that everyone gets to try everything, and if for whatever reason your child doesn't eat they are always offered an alternative.
The management is extremally approachable and accommodating and will do anything they can to help should you require extra sessions or even just advice.

My daughter attended Little Learners Nursery for over one year and graduated last August to start Primary School. I highly recommend Little Learners Nursery. Our Daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time there and we watched her grow and develop. The staff are extremely professional but add their own personal
touches that allow them to build loving relationships with the children.
Our daughter absolutely adored her key worker and the additional staff that supported her. She made lovely friends and looked forward to going to nursery each day where her confidence grew so much.
I am so grateful to Little Learners for encouraging our daughter and preparing her for the next stage of her journey to school.
As a family we just can’t thank you enough.

Little Learners Nursery School Chester has been nothing short of fantastic since our daughter joined a little over a year ago. The team are all super, friendly, and our daughter loves spending time there.
Our daughter was diagnosed with a food allergy, and the whole nursery team, including the chef,
have been so accommodating to all her needs. We feel very reassured that all the nursery staff are adept in handling the specific dietary requirements of their children.
Due to some recent health issues, we have had to increase our daughters’ days at the nursery on short notice. The nursery manager and her team have exceeded all of our expectations and have been unbelievably accommodating and supportive throughout the whole process. We can’t thank them enough!
We would highly recommend this nursery to any prospective parents, and we look forward to our daughter spending another 2-years there.

Since our daughter started nursery in 2019, the staff at Little Learners could not have been more helpful, friendly or accommodating. No matter what our request they have accommodated us. This is our first child, and so we were nervous about settling her into a nursery full time. We needn’t have worried;
she seems to love it and love the staff. She holds her arms out to go to whatever staff member greets her with a smile in the morning. Using an app to keep us updated on her activities, food and sleep during the day is so reassuring. I always felt the nursery was very clean, however, since Covid and returning to the nursery after a few months at home it has got even cleaner. The steps the staff have taken to keep everyone safe and well are above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.873 for Little Learners Nursery School Chester is calculated as follows: ( (441 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 497 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 Little Learners Nursery School Chester is based on 42 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 42 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.
