Day Nurseries Owned by Bright Stars Nursery Group Ltd in Dunbartonshire

A wonderful nursery that has been a big part of our family's journey over the years.

Thank you for everything you do!

I had a traumatic experience with childcare before so I value a safe and healthy environment so much. Couldn't be happier.

This is one of the best nurseries I have used. Staff are amazing and everything is tailored to each kids individual needs. Would not use any other nursery. The nursery offers opportunities to be both indoor and outdoor which for my kids is important as they don't like being cooped up indoors for long periods of time.

the nursery provide great facilities for the children inside and outdoor the nursery, i feel please each time I leave my child knowing my child is safe.

My little boy absolutely loves this nursery, since starting in September he has came on so well. The staff are absolutely amazing & the bond my little boy has with the is amazing! They keep you upto date with everything that happens from when they get changed and what they've had to eat.. Copeland loves coming here!

As a parent of a child who has been in nursery since he was 1 and now he is 4 years old.

The nursery teachers, yes teachers not assistants, teachers have all been amazing teaching our son how to socialise, use his imagination, and have knowledge about the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colours, and many other things that they teach in nursery.

Most importantly our son enjoys going there and seeing everyone. They are very child centred and take into account every child's interests, hobbies, and preferences. The nursery has ideas and experiences for our son that us as parents would not have thought to implement this into his skills.

The nursery has been amazing to our son and has resolved any issues I have had in the past very professionally and implemented solutions by the managers Karen who was the manager and now Natalie, who has continued these on.

Overall our experience has been finomonal with this nursery knowing that our son is happy and content being there.

Our son has been here since 6 months old and we couldn't be happier

The staff genuinely care. It's evident in the small things: reassuring messages when he's taken a moment to settle after a holiday, consistent updates and photos throughout the day. The app is brilliant for peace of mind at work - knowing when he's napping, eating, and how his day is going.

One team leader has been exceptional in understanding our son's needs and ours. She knows who she is, and we're so grateful.

His learning journal shows real progress and we've watched him thrive. Management are incredibly accommodating - when we've needed extra days at short notice, they've gone out of their way to help, often confirming late on a weekend.

The family activities - trips, stay and play, Christmas fete, Halloween trail - create a real sense of community.

Reviewing an online purchase is one thing, but endorsing those looking after the most precious thing in your life is different. This was the best decision we made

Thank you

My wee one has been in this nursery since he was a year old. As he is now three I could have requested a place in one of the local authority nurseries but as of the excellent care of this nursery staff it was never a consideration. My wee boy loves going to nursery, doesn't even look back at us in the morning. The experience and learning opportunities they create are amazing and have helped progress my wee one. The app they use is amazing for getting updates and communicating with them. You can see on a daily basis your child's day and also get picture updates. We also love the Stay and Play's, as it allows you to see your child's in there environment and the work they have been working on. They also have a Parent/Carers council which also members to support the development and the work the nursery are doing. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

The recent Graduation ceremony in June was a great success. The children were all wonderful at performing their group and individual performances on stage in front of a large (mainly adult) audience. This showed me that the staff at the nursery had worked hard to give the children the confidence to do this. I can only give them high praise for this achievement. The children were the "stars" on this day but I have to give all the staff at the nursery my congratulations for all the organisation that went into making the graduation ceremony a very memorable day for myself and other family members who attended. It was very emotional too. Thank you again to all the staff at the Nursery Times by the River for all your hard work.

I started my daughter here in February 2025 to return to work. My daughter settled instantly and has got such a beautiful bond with not only her key worker, but all staff who work within the playroom she attends. She loves it so much that at the end of the day, instead of coming home, she wants me to join in with her play. Luckily, there are frequent stay & play's available meaning I get that chance to play with my daughter in an environment she loves and thrives in. I can't thank the staff enough for looking after my girl and being her biggest cheerleader

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 11 months old and is now due to start her next adventure at school this August. The staff at this nursery are amazing and our daughter loves going to nursery. They are always on hand to offer support, advice or deal with any issues that arise. They are kind, caring and welcoming to all the families that attend. The nursery keep us updated about our childs day through apps and handovers at the end of each day. Our daughter has been so supported in her learning and development throughout the years. We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Thank you for everything you have done for our daughter, we will miss seeing you all every week.

Wonderful nursery very happy with the service they provide.staff are all lovely and are always providing me with updateds on my child's progress. Great facilities for the children inside and outside the nursery

My child enjoys going to nursery

My daughter has enjoyed every bit of her stay here and she comes home happy. She is a very active child and the nursery gives her enough activities to keep her busy. The staff are so wonderful and are quite flexible for working parents. If you are looking for a messy nursery that would allow your child paint, draw, dance, listen to music, engage in outdoor activities etc then this is the right one for you.

The nursery is well organised, i have great communication with them , i love the app its very good , and I find the staff are friendly and helpful , my child's gets on well with his peers and the other children.

Staff are very friendly and welcoming each and every morning. Very informative with each individual child. All 3 of my children and grandchild have attended this establishment over the years. I highly recommend to all family and friends and will be our 1st option if possible for any future babies in the family.

My son has been attending nursery here for almost 4 years and has enjoyed every minute. The nursery is small which gives off a warm inviting environment. Due to it being a small nursery all the children are very close and have built good friendships & the parents of the children have also bonded through trips and nursery events. My son has had some additional needs during his time at nursery which was been managed well from the manager, the different keyworkers he has had, along with other staff at the nursery. He will be leaving to attend school this year and will leave with lots of fun memories and friendships he has built during his time at the nursery.

My son attends the nursery and always looks forward to going. The staff have build great relationships with him and provide amazing learning experiences for the children indoors and outdoors. My son enjoys the outing into the local community and interacting with other children. The staff are always so caring and welcoming and keep us up to date throughout the day.
