Little Learners is brilliant. We couldn't ask for better care for our daughter. All staff are so friendly and caring and have helped our daughter progress whilst at nursery. If you have any doubts about where to send your child - forget them and use Little Learners.

I love Little Learners! My daughter used to attend a different nursery before and we had to switch nurseries at very short notice due to me starting a new job. Now fast forward to 7 months later, my girl absolutely loves it there. Everyone is always nice always smiling. They are very passionate about
the kids. They are also very good with parents. They are always available to chat and have all the information that a parent might need.
The biggest test was definitely the last couple of months with the Coronavirus situation. They were amazing with everything. When it was time for my daughter to restart nursery, they were very understanding that she was trying to settle back into the old routine. They were incredible and helped her to settle back in very quickly. Lovely staff, HIGHLY recommend.

The nursery has been fantastic with everything. My daughter only attended for a short time prior to the Covid-19 outbreak but she loves the nursery and can’t wait to get back.
The staff have been in regular touch throughout and we have arranged her days for September.
I couldn’t recommend them highly
enough. Great value too.

Lovely nursery with wonderful staff who are friendly, caring and hard working. My son really loves it at Little Learners. The door to their garden is always open for the children to play in and on a bad weather day they take them into the gym for a runaround. There is always a friendly hello and goodbye
from all the staff even if my son is not in their room. They were very accommodating during the lockdown period and worked hard to provide a service to key workers. It may not be the biggest of nurseries but it more than makes up for it in the amazing care and attention that they provide to all of the children.

I am delighted that our daughter attends Little Learners Nursery School Chester, as the staff are committed and always happy to discuss any concerns I might have. She was only nine months old when I had to leave her, so it was an especially tough time for us both. Now I know that my worries were completely
unnecessary as my baby is in good hands and she is very happy, so this only confirms to me the quality of the nursery. She has developed so much and keep surprising me every day with her motor skills. I would definitely recommend Little Learners Nursery School Chester with no hesitation.

My son has been going to Little Learners since he was 18 months old, he is now in the preschool room and will be starting primary school in September.
Little Learners has always been a great nursery but since the Coronavirus pandemic started they have really been amazing. They stayed open for key worker
children and at the same time provided endless support for families of children that had to stay home. Everything from regular social media posts with staff reading stories and singing nursery songs to activity ideas and home packs were made for us to collect so that we could simulate activities that were done in nursery. They even arranged Zoom calls for the children to be able to stay in touch with their friends!
Settling my son back in when he went back was no problem either, he’s missed nursery so much he ran in! The ‘new normal’ has been transitioned in seamlessly. My son has loved every minute of nursery and we will be extremely sad when he leaves! An amazing nursery.

My daughter joined Little Learners in 2016 and I’ve nothing but praise for the whole establishment. She has loved every minute there and that is down to the amazing staff.
Every room she has been in, she has thrived. I’m so proud of how the staff have helped shape her. They are accommodating in every
way and really understand the needs of the child.
My daughter is due to leave this summer to go to Primary school and we will miss the place as much as her. Thank you for all you have done for my daughter.

When we were looking for a nursery for our daughter we looked at a lot, when we both went to Little Learners we knew it would be a great fit. It felt cleaner and friendlier than others we visited.
Our initial impressions were right. Our daughter has been going to LL for three years now and we have
only high praise for the staff and managers here. Especially when they have been so helpful and kept brilliant communication during Covid lockdown.
We have never had any issues with the care given, the atmosphere is happy and conducive to learning and fun.

Our daughter has been going to the preschool room since October 2019. She settled very quickly and absolutely loves going there. She could not wait to be back after the lockdown. She loves all the staff who look after her, especially her key worker. The range of extra activities they lay on for the
children make it seem great value. Management have always been flexible and accommodated our needs.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All of the staff go above and beyond to ensure that your little one is in the best care.
The curriculum is varied and age-appropriate within/outdoor play areas, woodland walks, Spanish lessons and swimming.
The staff are very attentive to you and the little
ones' needs. The daily feedback and progress reviews are informative and relevant.
The food is great and the cook is very amiable to individual needs. The proprietor is also very much involved, ensuring good quality service provision.
I can not praise this nursery enough, a real family feel, with professional/highly qualified staff that are led by an outstanding manager.

The parent communication and child education experience has been excellent. The staff are fantastic with our son and he loves his time there! Over the lockdown, the management have kept engaged with us and provided additional activities.

This nursery is run by the most passionate team, they all are so dedicated to the children and their development. My daughter has been there for nearly 2 years and loves attending. She would go 7 days a week if she could as she has so much fun.
The team pulled together through COVID-19 ensuring
the children came first as always and felt safe in such troubled times.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent as your child will thank you for it and you know you are leaving your child in the best hands possible.

My three-year-old son absolutely loves nursery. The staff there are very caring and supportive. Whenever I drop him off, I know he's in safe hands. He has been attending for the past two years full time as I needed to return to work full time. This in itself was a hard process (for me really!), as it
didn't take long for my son to settle in. During lockdown, they have been very helpful with advising and providing home learning packs. He is looking forward to returning back to nursery.

Absolutely love this nursery. Got a great feeling right away. Really welcoming and my little man felt right at ease. They have worked with us when we have had attachment issues and really helped both me and him settle. He has done really well with toileting there, showing me they listen to and understand
my child. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

My daughter has been attending Little Learners in Chester for just over two years now. She started off in the baby room and the love and care she has received have been second to none.
Her favourite part of nursery is definitely the food!. All the staff at Little Learners are fantastic and it’s nice
dropping her off and going to work not having to worry about her, I know she is in safe hands.

I have two children at the nursery, with my first going since 2017. I cannot recommend Little Learners enough, they are fantastic. The staff are so lovely and nothing is too much trouble. My children absolutely love going! We will be sad when our little girl has to leave to go to school.
I also wanted
to say how brilliant they have been with my children who have now returned to the nursery after the lockdown. Again, they have settled the children so well and they were soon back into the routine. All the necessary precautions in place without the children really noticing a difference. Brilliant!

All staff are very friendly and caring. My ten-month-old son has settled much quicker than I expected. They are accomodating and listen to parents. They have been excellent throughout the Covid pandemic - pragmatic and sensible for us as key workers. My husband and I are very happy with our choice of
nursery. One member of staff in particular is great but all the staff we've come into contact with are amazing. Thank you.

Everyone in this nursery is very positive, helpful and caring about our kids.
I'm extremely happy with them. They take over my daughter when she was 18 mounts old and they helped me to go through very difficult times for my little one.

As any first time mother, I was extremely anxious for my 15 month old little boy starting nursery. However, I was soon relieved of my fears. My son loves his day there and runs into the room. The staff have been exceptional in their care, very encouraging and loving to him. They asked a lot of questions
to make sure they were able to make him happy and comfortable. At pick up time, they give a lot of time aside to talk about his day and progress. the room and toys are always clean. The outside space is excellent and the children get to use the sports hall for activities.

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.
