My daughter absolutely loves this nursery, she has a smile on her face when going and sometimes is reluctant to leave, which says everything.
I cannot fault the staff or facilities, it's an amazing nursery and all staff members always have a smile ready and are attentive to my child's needs.
My daughter's
development has also come on leaps and bounds since attending, my only criticism is that they're helping her grow up too fast with their excellent teaching methods, as she seems to learn a new thing daily. 10+!

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. Your daughter is a star, who as you know is thriving at nursery. We are thrilled that she is learning so rapidly as it shows the impact the learning opportunities provided by the team have such a positive impact. Thank you once again!

I write this review mostly for the manager who is the most friendliest, cooperative and pleasant nursery manager I have ever come across. I'd like to take this time to value her hard work and perseverance
She has been a godsend in getting my child into nursery.
The trip that was organised to the local
mosque was amazing and the manager took so much interest, it gave me a really good inclusive feel.
I also thank two other staff members who are amazing with my reluctance to go into nursery child. They work so hard with the children, one of them always takes her time out to reassure me
I don't think they know how valuable they are, I don't get the time to tell them but glad I can through this review.
The place has been renovated to a high standard, the menu is amazing and makes your mouth water! It's been a pleasure to have been a part of this new nursery since it opened.
I know my child actually eats here as I've watched her, whereas at home she doesn't at all! Well done to all the amazing staff.

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

It is so important for us to develop relationships with both children and their families to ensure that you as parents feel reassured and that your child knows that they are well supported during their time at nursery.

I am very happy I chose Early Learners for my son. He was just over 13 months when he started and I could tell the staff took great care of him to make sure he settled nicely. I appreciate timely and comprehensive updates on my child via the app, it is very convenient to communicate with nursery too.
Every day at drop off or pick up we are being greeted by managers, makes you feel very welcomed! In general the place is well located, plenty of parking, the premises are large, spacious, lots of light and great outdoor space. I feel my son is happy there.

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

Thank you for your lovely review. Your son has settled so well and really enjoys all the care and attention he receives, not to mention the fun activities. We are so pleased you find the app so useful, and we are glad you feel so welcome!

We moved our two boys to Early Learners from a large nursery chain when we relocated to the area. We are so happy that we chose this setting and our children genuinely love it there, which is priceless. The staff are caring, fun and so well trained, we know our children are in the safest of hands. The
team set up wonderful learning opportunities and enriching experiences for the children, and the observations we receive each week show how well they know our little ones already. They place such an emphasis on the social and emotional aspects of learning. The environments and resources the team create are out of this world, and we feel our boys’ interests and individuality are really being nurtured. They also love the food and we as parents feel that this is of such a high quality. We particularly love that the children are invited to get involved in the kitchen. If I could give more than 10/10, I would! Can’t recommend Early Learners highly enough.

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Both your boys have settled so well into nursery and are a credit to you both. They fully embrace everything and have built amazing relationships with the team in their respective rooms. The team love creating meaningful learning experiences for the children to help develop and extend their knowledge, and we know all our children absolutely adore their meals!

A wonderful environment for my daughter to develop and grow. All the staff are lovely, helpful and so nurturing and I feel safe in the knowledge that my child is well looked after. My partner and I get regular updates about her everyday activities including nappy changes, naps and mealtimes via the
Famly app which also keeps us at ease. The physical space and facilities are exemplary - there is so much to see and do. I'm extremely impressed with Early Learners so far and would highly recommend it.

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

Thank you so much for your feedback. Your daughter is an absolute gem and a pleasure to care for. We think the app is brilliant too as it makes it so easy for us to share everything with our families.

I can't rate this nursery enough! The staff, the management, the grounds - everything. It's absolutely fantastic and best of all, my little boy is thriving there! He would not have developed and reached those little milestones if it wasn't for the input of the Manager and her team. They have all rallied
around my (very testing) son, taken every effort to get to know him, analyse and learn his behaviours, and then go on to implement strategies to ensure he is at his best, happy and cared for as much as is physically possible. Also to add, this has to be one of the cleanest and well-maintained nurseries I have ever been to. (Mum of 3 boys) I will actually be sad to see him leave once the time comes.

My daughter started in preschool in September followed by my son in babies in November and both have settled in amazingly. All the staff are really friendly and they continually think of fun activities for the kids, which include trips out and weeks focussed on different topics like art, family or culture.
The nursery is super clean and has great indoor and outdoor space for the kids to explore. We receive regular updates through the app to see what they have been up to and importantly how much food they have eaten, it always gets the thumbs up! Both the kids love nursery and are developing really well, definitely happy we chose to send them here.

Reply from Claire Oxley, Nursery Manager at Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle

My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly a year now and has absolutely loved it. The staff and carers are amazing and have made her feel so welcome. The attention to detail in the nursery is brilliant and I feel so confident dropping her off with the team.
Would definitely recommend it if you're
looking for a local nursery.

Having been unwell and entrusting the nursery with my baby was a big decision for me and they have been very supportive over this difficult period for me.
The personal touches of handmade cards from my baby to bring home are extra special.
My baby runs into nursery each week so happy to be there.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.956 for Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle is calculated as follows: ( (368 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.956

  • 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 Early Learners Day Nursery, Cheadle is based on 32 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 32 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.
