My Son loves his nursery! He walks in without being asked to and clearly loves being there. He knows the staff and feels safe with them. Secure location, professional staff and well ran nursery. As expected you can't just walk in, so security is a thumbs up. You are usually greeted by a member of the
nursery staff to hand your child over, which is good. Staff are professional, and the whole place is well run.

We love Shining stars nursery! I always look forward to dropping off my son as I know he will have the best time. It makes a difference that the staff greets us with smiles, and upon leaving tells me briefly what my child was upto throughout the day. He loves spending time there and returns very happy,
learns new skills, makes crafts, plays with other children. It didnt take long for my son to settle in. All staff very helpful, quick to respond and overall lovely people. I chose this nursery because I felt very comfortable when I went to view it the first time. I knew straight away I made the right decision. My son and I are very grateful for your dedication to all the children that attend this fantastic nursery.

All the staff are lovely at Shining Stars. My son has been going since he was a baby, and now is in preschool. My daughter has just started in baby room and she settled in really really quickly. I would highly recommend.

I have no words to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support, care, and kindness you have shown my two daughters over the years. We truly couldn't have asked for a better place to start their educational journey.
Thank you to every member of the team-nursery teachers, assistants, support
staff-who contributed to making their years there so positive and wonderful. Your passion and commitment have made a lasting impression on my little one's

My son has attended since September last year and he has always come home and wanted to express his excitement of being at nursery. Even with a rocky start in settling and bonding the staff went above and beyond to help him settle as quick as possible. His speech has improved so much and I would always
recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you so much

Shining Stars Nursery has been absolutely amazing for my daughters. The staff are so warm, caring, and dedicated - they've created a nurturing environment where my girls have truly thrived. It's been wonderful to see their confidence grow each day. I couldn't ask for a better start to their early years!
My youngest has graduated from pre school today and we're going to miss all the staff so much!

My 2 oldest children came to this school a few years ago and now one of my youngest daughters, who is autistic non verbal and unable to walk has been here since April 2025. The last few months have been incredible, seeing how much my daughter has come along since she started! I can't recommend the team
enough for all they do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery since last year, she always comes home with the biggest smile on her face telling us about what she has done that day. She has come on leaps and bounds with her vocabulary and speech since attending and I believe that this is down to the staff that put so
much work in with them. My daughter always comes home with art work that she has done that day, which is lovely. The baby days app is always updated accordingly and prompt and staff always ask how my daughter is before dropping her off for the day to ensure that they can look after her properly. Overall a brilliant nursery and I would recommend it anyone:

My daughter has an amazing time at Shining Stars. She has a really good relationship with the staff and her key worker has worked very closely with her to ensure she's settled. They encourage a lot of outdoor play and learning on all topics and she always comes home with lots of pictures and artwork.
I can not thank them enough for the support they give her and my family.

Our child has been coming to this nursery since August 2024, at first he was apprehensive about going but now he really enjoys going 4 days a week, the staff are so fun and caring towards the children, the children get upto loads of fun activities painting, messy play, outdoor adventures and playing
on the race track! Sometimes they even venture to the local park and go on the swings and slides!
Everyday parents are updated with how the child has got on and pictures are posted on our secure child's app, if there is any problems during the day the office calls and lets you know the situation! Overall we are pleased and happy our child has settled in with the nursery and team

Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School I highly recommend. My son went there for two years, now my daughter is attending. Both my children thoroughly thrived at this nursery and loved going. All the staff are so lovely especially one staff member in particular who has always been helpful and understanding
with both my children. Another staff member deserves a special shout out especially who is always so kind and great especially with my daughter now. Also all the other staff. Highly recommend Shining Stars.

My child started at Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School shortly after they turned 2 years old. They were going through a clingy stage and struggled to settle in. The nursery worked with us to find a settling in schedule which worked for our child which allowed them to form a trusting bond with the nursery
workers. Our child runs in now and is his confident happy self and it's been so lovely to see him thrive socially and emotionally in this setting.

Shining Stars is a fantastic nursery. Our nearly 3-year-old has been there for a year. She has hearing loss and possibly some additional needs, she loves to go to nursery, she has formed a fantastic attachment to the staff there. They treat her individually and give her allocated time to help her with
her sign language amd to help her speak. The staff are friendly and caring. We are always told about her day there and they have an in-depth understanding of what she needs as her communication is a struggle. I have recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they have meetings with us for our daughter's aims and goals for her development. As a rainbow family we feel accepted and happy and included in all aspects of nursery and themes ie Father's Day we have Grandfather's Day instead and this is inclusive for our daughter and for Mother's Day we have two cards. Our eldest child also goes to the holiday club here. Fab nursery

This nursery setting is the best in Malvern, they have helped my son grow so much, especially with the Senco team, and also learning about his rare genetic disorder. They have helped me too. Honestly, I don’t think my son would be going to mainstream school if it weren’t for the staff on helping push
my son to achieve so much in the year he’s been with them. Hands down, the best setting in Malvern.

Fantastic, welcoming team where everyone feels so welcome! My daughter asks to go to nursery (even when we have just left!)
Communication with the parents is brilliant and they treat every child's needs individually.
My child's confidence has bloomed since starting and my older child is always desperate
to come back for holiday club.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.942 for Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (411 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 434 Ratings = 4.942
  2. 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 Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
