This is a small nursery with excellent staff, truly affectionate and warm towards kids. My son loves it there and is happy to go there every morning. There is a lot of activities happening such as field trips, theme weeks (e.g. nursery rhythm week) outings. Food is prepared freshly on a daily basis
and the nursery can accommodate children with various food intolerances. Good atmosphere and feedback for parents. I would recommend it highly to other parents.

Staff are always welcoming and friendly and genuinely care for my child's development - my son has learnt so much vocab and skills in only 11 months of full-time care. Daily feedback is given when I pick up and I am given updates on personal development.

My son is my second child at Happy Stars, I could not have thought of a better nursery to send him to. The staff are friendly, approachable and always try and help or provide any information that we may need. When my daughter graduated in July we were in tears because of the amount of love she had received
and she had developed tremendously. The nursery always encourages parents involvement and their breakfast mornings are a great oportunity to see children in their environment and spend time with them. The nursery is also excellent in listening to feedback on behaviour and activities that are happening at home and following through while there at the nursery.

Thank you for your fantastic feedback. We are glad you choose Happy Stars to send both your little ones to, they both have and are doing extremely well. Thank You so much for all your support.

Happy Stars Day Nursery is a wonderful place. Both of my children love this nursery.
Staff are friendly and very enthusiastic with the children. The nursery is filled with all sort of activities: sand, water, toys and even a garden area where children can look after the plants. The nursery is also
offering extra activities as music and drama.
Furthermore, there are times when children can visit our local library, and rent some books.
I would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Happy Stars Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Our son started age 3 and has been there for almost a year now. In that time we have watched his social, and verbal skills, and imaginative play transform. He very clearly enjoys his time at Happy Stars and has really bonded with the staff too.


I

am also very impressed with the effort that the nursery and staff make to ensure a diverse learning environment through theme weeks (e.g. Rhyme week) and creating ever-changing play zones for the children to interact with. They also host stay and play events for the parents so that you get to see your child in their daily environment. Furthermore, they really go over and above when hosting one-off events, e.g. Halloween where all the staff dressed up with the children, the nursery was decorated and all events (painting and cooking, etc) were Halloween themed.


We are very pleased we found Happy Stars!

I cannot praise Happy Stars enough. I was nervous about sending our one-year-old daughter into a nursery environment, but all the staff were so caring and diligent. Now she loves it and loves all the staff. All the staff are so kind, fun and caring and everyone is very involved including the owner and
the cook. Kindness, safety, and fun - what more could a parent ask for.

My twin boys love going to Happy Stars! It's a wonderful environment for them to learn and develop - the staff are caring and attentive to individual needs and provide stimulating and fun activities for the children. The resources provided are varied and aimed at supporting learning and the nursery
engages parents very effectively, including through a dedicated website and daily contact. The food provided is delicious and carefully planned to support nutrition and the children are encouraged to help themselves and develop their independence. A wonderful nursery - I'm so happy my boys get to go there.

Our son has been attending Happy Stars for 4 months now and we are extremely happy with the nursery so far. The staff are all so caring and really seem to have bonded with our little boy. There are always lots of different stimulating activities on offer and the outside area is brilliant for a London
nursery where outdoor space is often limited. Every day when I come to collect him he is doing something different, and he always has a smile on his face.


I am continually impressed by the level of detail the staff give me about his day - they always know exactly what he has eaten, how long he slept for, which new words he has said or activities he has tried. It really shows how much attention they pay to each child.


We are so pleased we chose Happy Stars and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

My son has attended Happy Stars Day Nursery since the age of 1, he is very happy and enjoys going to nursery. His language, communication, awareness and behaviour is impressive and continues to improve, I feel that the values and education at Happy Stars have helped with these developments.
As a
parent I can say that the partnership with the nursery/management team has been fantastic, the staff are excellent in terms of communication and interaction with the children and I feel this is a safe environment for my son.
I would recommend this nursery to parents /guardians.

Awesome nursery and staff. They do lots of activities with the children and keep us up to date all the time with emails and newsletters. They ensure to take photos of the kids regularly and only parents can see these. There are regular parent updates and even celebratory events when parents can come
to the nursery and join in the fun.
They take the kids out regularly on nearby day trips to a local supermarket, parks, post office etc and teach the kids about day to day life. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the staff- am really glad we are sending our child here!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending Happy Stars for almost two years and has loved every moment of it. The staff are thoughtful and caring and make a real effort to build a relationship with each child. Every day has a variety of activities to keep her interested and stimulated. I also think it is great
that they build activities around different religious and other festivals that take place throughout the year - the diversity of interests and backgrounds is, in my opinion, helping to raise a very well rounded little girl. They also get parents involved, even hosting a Father's Day breakfast which was very well received.


Food is cooked freshly on-site and includes a broad range of options. They have a wonderful outside area which the kids all love.


I feel very lucky that my little boy also has a place and will be starting shortly and I can't recommend it highly enough to people.


Everyone there should be very proud of the work they do and making it such a special place. Well done!

I have nothing but good comments to say with regards to Happy Stars nursery. I have a child who currently attends the nursery but a few years ago my daughter also attended. I was familiar with the nursery and extremely happy with all the staff and felt my child would be well looked after and safe therefore
I did not want to send him to another nursery. There are various activities he is involved in throughout the day and regularly comes home with drawings/objects he has been involved in making. I am given an update when I arrive to collect him on how his day has gone which is useful but also observe him myself and can tell he is thoroughly happy and always has a big smile on his face. Throughout the year various plays are put on and the children will get dressed up which is very entertaining and lovely to see all the kids involved in.

Happy Stars Day Nursery is a fantastic establishment which has created a great foundation for my son to start his early years. Since he started from the age of 1+, his development has been remarkable, it's all thanks to the hard work, dedication and support of my sons key workers and the Manager.


The

nursery provide us consistent weekly feedback on his progress and development, detailing activities/interests he enjoys.


Our son looks forward to going to nursery and tells us all about his day each evening which is a great satisfaction to have as a parent, we feel that happy stars provides us and my son a safe environment to enjoy his early years.


Thank you Happy Stars!!

It's one of the best things I've ever done choosing the above nursery for my child to attend. I have seen my daughter grow and develop so much more than those children that stay at home. Till this day my daughter surprises me and continues to. I have seen her knowledge and skills grow in areas which
most nurseries would not touch upon, e.g numbers, alphabets and general activities, i.e cooking, modelling, acting etc. The nursery not only fits into my working lifestyle, but I have the peace of mind that my child is in safe hands. Thanks to a nursery like this that has made our life easy.

My son has loved his time at happy stars, he barely looks back when we drop him off in the morning. I have always felt confident that he is safe and well looked after during the time he is there. The staff are caring and have built a strong relationship with my son. Since starting nursery my son has
made great progress with his independence and social skills. He has participated in a range of activities and has already been on a few trips. We have really appreciated all the hard work the nursery does, making my return back to work so much easier. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I couldn't have dreamed of a better place for my children than Happy Stars Day Nursery! All of my 3 children have been attending Happy Stars (the oldest daughter starting at Happy Stars in October 2008) and they all were (and are) very, very happy there. The care is of exceptional standards with professional,
friendly and always welcoming staff. Children get a chance to engage in a wide range of activities, which enhance their learning experiences and they take parts in various trips i.e. to library, local shops or cafés and even fire station (so they get to know local environment too). Nursery also works closely with parents, keeping us updated of everything that's going on in this busy nursery. Parents do get a chance to get involved in the life of the nursery, with open/activity mornings, fetes or special events often organised, which creates 'family' like atmosphere. Children do learn a lot at happy stars, I can see great progress in their social, physical and emotional development

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.790)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.790) out of 10 for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.990 for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.99
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd is based on 8 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 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 = 3.8
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 8 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.
