Day Nurseries Owned by Bright Stars Nursery Group Ltd

Lyth Hill has had a lot of change over the past 12 months but the staff have ensured consistency for the children and informed families well. My son has moved rooms during this time and we have been well supported throughout.

He has made good relationships with his key workers and the other children in all the rooms. Information about the learning and curriculum has improved significantly and we get good updates on the app and from pick up conversations about how parents can help reinforce what the children are covering e.g. colours, books, counting.

The building and location is fantastic with so much outside space which is used daily. A huge reason why we chose the nursery initially. They also use local providers for activities during the week.

Barnkids has made huge progress since their last Ofsted report, and is back to how it used to be. Our children (23 months and 3.5) have always been very happy there. But we are now back to recieving regular (and very detailed) observations and good handovers. The rooms are looking lovely and activities are set up daily. There is now a solid staff body again who really know the children well - we really appreciate both the old faces and the new who came with the new management team. The new management has been exceptional and has worked so hard in really turning this nursery around, and communicating with us regularly.

Since the new management has come in we have been really impressed with all the changes and improvements made. The communication to parents is open and honest and we really feel like we're part of the journey to improving the nursery. They have updated many policies and procedures to give assurance about our daughter's safety and we love reading the observations each week. It's a welcoming environment - parents are encouraged to see what the children get up to and we are very happy.

My children have made great friends. We've been on holiday with nursery friends. I've also made great friends through the nursery.

We really appreciate the care and attention they have given, and we feel confident knowing our child is in such good hands. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive setting.

We moved our daughter to this nursery from another setting, and we're so pleased with how quickly she settled in compared to her previous nursery. We genuinely feel we made the right decision.

The great reviews were one of the reasons we chose this nursery, and we can now say they truly reflect the quality of care. Our daughter is in the baby room, and the staff are incredibly caring, attentive and gentle with the babies.

Having iCam access gives us extra peace of mind, as we can see our daughter throughout the day. What we see on the camera matches exactly what the staff tell us, which gives us complete confidence in their care.

The staff are wonderful, and the detailed updates we receive at pick-up are always so reassuring. We couldn't be happier with our decision to change nurseries.

Thank you to the whole team for taking such great care of our little one. Keep up the amazing work!

My daughter was at Little Pips from age 15months to starting school so we have experienced the baby, toddler and pre-school rooms. All of the staff are very friendly and clearly very caring towards the children. They spend lots of time outdoors which was important to us. The activities and communication were fabulous including visits from Morris Dancers, therapy animals and the fire department. They taught her so much over the past 3 years and we have very fond memories of our time there. The food is varied and nutritious. They always answer the phone or messages and send lots of photos via the secure app to show you how your child is enjoying their time there. I would highly recommend Little Pips for parents who are anxious about choosing a nursery for their little one. We were sad to say goodbye!

My son has been attending the nursery from 10 months of age. He is now starting his pre-school year. The new management have brought positive changes to both the environment and procedures. Staff have always been first class. Their care, focus and attention shown to my son has helped him thrive.

It's obvious how much the staff care for the children, I never have any concerns about how well he's being looked after.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our daughter. She absolutely loved her time there, and we always felt so happy and reassured knowing she was being so well looked after.

The staff are all such lovely, caring people and genuinely treated her like she was one of their own. You could always see how much they cared about her, and that meant so much to us as parents.

I genuinely cannot fault the nursery or the team at all. We're so grateful for everything they've done for our daughter and for making her time there so happy and special. We'll miss everyone so much!

Our experience of Little Forest Folk has been incredible, Leo's loved everyday he's been there, Karlenne and the team are amazing, he has a fantastic time there exploring the forest, doing various activities at base camp daily. His speech has come on incredibly well too since he's been there and given him so much confidence. One of the best things is that he feel so safe in the environment and that for us as parents is all we can ask for. Highly recommend Little Forest Folk Winkworth.

I can honestly say there was never a day when my daughters didn't want to go to nursery. They loved every minute of it. The range of activities i

The contrast in quality is stark. Standout staff make a wonderful difference, but management must address the passive culture and care errors in Fox Cubs.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the care and support our son has received at Three Gables.

All of the staff are genuinely caring, kind and incredibly friendly, and you can tell how much they truly care about every child. They have provided fantastic support and always made sure he feels happy, settled and well cared for.

The nursery has excellent resources and facilities, and communication with parents has always been brilliant. We have always felt kept informed, supported and listened to.

We couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience and would wholeheartedly recommend it to other families. Thank you to all the staff for everything you have done for him!

I have two children at this setting. With the arrival of the new manager earlier this year I've seen a considerable difference in my children's development and behaviours. The staff are very engaging and I'm confident that my children are getting the best possible care. Well done and keep up the excellent delivery and service. Would highly recommend.

My son has been at Daisy Chain since early 2023 and he is about to leave for primary school. We've always been very happy with Daisy Chain nursery despite any change of staffing that has happened. Our priority is always that our son is safe, fed and happy whilst he is there and despite some emotional drop offs over the years he has been very happy. Making friends, making connections with staff. Gaining important skills and also just having fun.

Recently the nursery has undergone a big renovation and it looks very smart and the garden is huge, lots of space to use energy - it looks great.

Communication sometimes could be slightly better but we always get answers to any questions we ask.

I would recommend this nursery for others looking for one in Emsworth.

Thank you Daisy Chain staff past and present.

Overall we're so happy we chose to stay, our daughter is happy and cared for and the last piece to the puzzle will be a permanent manager.

I highly recommend Little Forest Folks!

Barnkids have made tremendous steps forward in the last few months following the arrival of a new manager. Every week, the communications are thorough about the changes being made, and this makes us hugely hopeful it's all moving in the right direction and back to the Barnkids it once was.

Regardless of all of this, the most wonderful thing to see is how happy my child is, and that's not changed. He's ALWAYS come out of nursery happy about his day and talks very fondly of nursery. He's made friendships with other toddlers and is developing well, and all of this reflects the care he gets whilst he's there.

As unsettling as the recent Ofstead was, it doesn't detract from the happy, well cared for child that comes home from nursery and the joy we experience at drop off and pick up knowing he's in a great place.

Highlight - the garden spaces are wonderful! Big spaces, age appropriate, and used regularly in all weathers. Free range babies. The rooms are all homely too

We couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They are kind, caring and genuinely invested in every child's wellbeing and development. The facilities are fantastic and provide such a stimulating environment for learning and play.

Most importantly, our daughter has absolutely flourished since joining. She has grown so much in confidence, loves going in each day and has been supported every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend the school.
