Bright Stars Day Nursery is a privately run day nursery based in Leatherhead caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years, 52 weeks a year.
There are four different rooms within the setting. There is a calm and cosy baby room where babies can learn, explore and discover the world through sensory based play. The exciting and fast paced pre toddler room where children are encouraged to express themselves and learn through their play, the brand new cabin which caters for older toddlers. The bright and inviting Preschool room is where children are encouraged to take steps towards independence and school readiness whilst still enjoying their learning-based play. Each of these rooms have direct access to their own fully equipped gardens where children have constant free flow access to extend their learning in the outdoor environment.
At Bright Stars Day Nursery, the team work in partnership with parents to ensure that children develop socially, intellectually, culturally, physically and emotionally in a caring and secure environment. Staff encourage parents' contribution to their child's learning and work closely with them to gather information about their child's learning at home.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 6 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 18 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We have been overall very happy with this nursery. My son started there in May this year and we were able to settle him in gradually with us staying with him and then letting him spend an hour there without us which has really helped him settle well. We find the updates from the staff on the app so helpful and they will always update us quickly in the morning if he has been upset at drop off which is really reassuring. They do so many varied activities with the children and have recently bought in a new food menu which features lots of varied foods that our son is loving! We are very happy with it and our son is very happy there to!

Every member of nursery staff, including all the room leaders and management are great; truly caring people who have a passion for what they do and take pride in the activities the children do throughout the day.
Great food provided for the children, and plenty of updates via the app to keep you informed.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are glad you are happy with everything we offer and the staff love all our little people very dearly.

They do a wonderful range of activities every day, and spend so much time in the lovely outside spaces. Communication is fantastic, and I love the app. All the staff are so friendly and helpful.
Our experience at Bright Stars has been wonderful, and I'm so glad we moved my son here from his previous nursery.

Like most parents, we were anxious about sending our child to nursery but the staff at Bright Stars Day Nursery have been amazing. Each one of them has shown warmth, support and enthusiasm towards both our little girl and us as parents. We highly recommend this nursery to friends when asked. Our little one is growing in confidence and learning so much from interacting with the staff and other children here. Everyone always has a friendly smile and a positive attitude.

Fabulous nursery, great communication, range of activities and facilities. We live about 30 minutes away but didn't want our second child going anywhere else. The hours are also great, and the staff are all very helpful and knowledgeable.

I am always impressed with the communication and updates provided by the nursery, as well as the activities, balanced meals and milestone-focused development they provide. In every area possible, my son has developed and I definitely put some of that down to the hard work they put in every day. Whilst being professional, the staff are also nurturing, kind, patient and fun. I have no concerns whilst my son is in their care and that is priceless. He is happy and stimulated throughout the day and is consistently learning new things. They provide sessions that allow parents to have an insight into nursery life throughout the year and give comprehensive reporting around parents' evenings. With the cost of childcare being a constant topic of conversation, Bright Stars has been and continues to be worth every penny. I would not hesitate to recommend them, over and over again!
Thank you so much for such a lovely feedback. We are so happy you are happy with the care you receive.

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2023 and it is like a second home for him. The staff are so attentive, kind and friendly towards his additional needs. The app updates are amazing and reassuring for parents who like to know what their child is up to and the activities put on for parents, like sports day, breakfast club, parents evening etc., are all fab additions to his care. They provide good updates at pick-up and are always there for support and guidance. If you'd like your child to attend a nursery where they genuinely care about your children, send them to Bright Stars Day Nursery!
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback. We are very happy that you are happy with the care you receive.
My son has been going to this nursery for approx 6 months and loves it. They seem to understand his personality and talk really kindly to him. Always helping with any last minute requests and advising of any key concerns. My son loves his key worker and frequently mentions her at home.

The staff put in so much effort and care about the children as if they were their own. It’s a beautiful place full of nurture and care, we’ve been thrilled with it. The activities are varied and we’ve had plenty of contact and feedback about how our son is doing there.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bright Stars to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children. The caring and committed staff, along with their focus on individualised care and holistic development, make it a truly exceptional place. My boys' time at the nursery was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for the positive impact it had on their lives.

This nursery has been brilliant for my child, who moved from another local nursery. I have been so impressed with how efficiently the staff (both carers and management) communicate, and how much information we get about what the children are getting up to. They seem genuinely so enthusiastic about early years care and are always coming up with exciting activities and sensory play for the children. They are also very transparent and often have events where parents can attend with their children during nursery hours, for breakfast for example.
