My daughter started there when she was 2, she is 4 this year and will be going to school. She has progressed so well and loved being at nursery. My son will be joining 2025 and I can't wait. The staff and manager are lovely and very kind and listen to my views. Amazing nursery.

I have now had two of my children go to Rising Stars. They have both thrived whilst being there. The setting looks great and has such a wide range of activities. They cater very well to my son's additional needs and the special educational needs coordinator has been a massive support and help to not
only my son but me as well.

The nursery staff give so much guidance and knowledge to the children. My child is very excited every day she attends and tells everyone about how much she loves her teachers. I know my child is very safe in their hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves nursery. He has grown and shines with his grown-ups and friends at Rising Stars. There are no bad points for this nursery. I recommend time and time again. I took him to nursery a few days ago. The babies were all sitting looking at the Senior Practitioner who was singing so beautifully
the colours of the rainbow. This not only captured the babies but me also. This happens regularly with Rising Stars staff. They are all amazing and go above and beyond. I can't thank you ladies enough.

Review from Olu E (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Rising Stars Nursery is truly an amazing setting and stimulating learning environment for a child. Our initial contact with the nursery was an enquiry over the telephone, and we haven't once regretted placing our children in this nursery. The staff and managers are warm, friendly, and understanding.
This has made it so easy for our children to build relationships with their key persons. As parents, we also appreciate the online updates and observations tracking the progress of our children. Having had experiences with other nurseries in the past, Rising Stars Nursery is truly exceptional and stands out. I will highly recommend Rising Stars Nursery as a good start for any child.

Review from Rebecca (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What an amazing team at Rising Stars, our daughter left almost 2 years ago and our son now goes 3 times a week which we have slowly built up. Both children built amazing relationships with all staff and children. Our children's Keyworkers have and had strong bonds with each child and this has been
clearly apparent when they are excited to see them and if they needed comforting. All staff have and do support us in areas we need advice or have needed to concentrate on to help the children develop and flourish. Our son loves the new outside area that is brilliant for development and socialising with his new friends. The nursery have recently started the Tapestry program, this just tops off how brilliant the nursery is knowing that we can see daily/weekly what our son is experiencing. We can see how much he is learning and at what level he is developing at. We can also share our fun and games we have with family and friends on the programmed too, Staff and parents can also add comments. Our son has been out on local trips to the park and the shops, in the holidays they collected, brought and cooked a lovely breakfast which was very much enjoyed by all. We can't thank all the staff enough for what they have done for our family.

The nursery is a very nice place for my daughter to be in, the environment is nice and friendly with lots of outdoor activities to be done outside in the big playground, and indoor activities. My daughter loves going to nursery and always looks forward to going. The staff are very friendly and always
keep up to date information on my daughters performance per day.

Very happy with all the care my son receives, he is very happy to go to nursery and loves telling me about his day. He has learnt so much since starting and has turned into such a lovely little boy as he struggled with new situations and people before coming here.

My daughter loves going to nursery! She was quiet and clingy before starting at Rising Stars, but with help and support from amazing staff she has completely come out of her shell and her confidence is brilliant to watch. I would recommend this nursery to everyone, the kids are happy, safe and comfortable
and are learning so much through playing. I can't praise Rising Stars nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.827) out of 10 for Rising Stars Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Rising Stars Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
  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 3.827 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rising Stars Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.577
  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.
