Excellent nursery. It's so nice seeing updates and photos each day of how my child is getting on. Excellent communication through the app.
The timings for the nursery are great and they have been so flexible with us which has been amazing.
Thank you!

Bright Stars is a fantastic and friendly nursery. My daughter smiles upon morning drop-off and enjoys the daily sensory/activities the nursery puts on. The nursery has a fantastic app which logs your child's food intake, naps and nappies, which for a first-time mum, was reassuring. The app also allows
staff to upload your child's development along with photos. What more could you want! All staff are very helpful, friendly and contactable via the app as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have no words to describe how happy I am with Bright Stars. My little girl started in September when she was almost 14 months old. She settled really well in less than a week. By the beginning of the next week, she started to smile while I was parking in front. The staff are amazing. Very friendly
and patient with the parents and the kids. Plenty of activities every day, varied and healthy menu, nice garden and room space with separate sleeping area. Live reports every day including all activities, food taken, sleeping times, etc. Huge thanks to all staff in baby room, who are doing some kind of magic with all babies. The most important thing is the smile and happiness of my little girl every morning and evening. No better proof than that. Highly recommend to everyone.

My daughter started at Bright Stars in September 2021 and it literally took her just one day to settle there. The nursery staff are utterly lovely and so personable with all the children. The communication from the nursery is generally excellent. My son also joined in September this year and because
of the positive experience with his big sister, he also runs in every day! I highly recommend!

My son has been attending Bright Stars Day Nursery for a couple of months now, and I have been so impressed with everything. The staff are wonderful with the children, and they do lots of brilliant activities. The outdoor play area is also great and allows the children plenty of opportunities to play
outside as well as indoors. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Friendly and helpful staff. My son loves going and has lots of fun stories to tell us about his days at nursery. Staff always give time at pick up to discuss his day with whoever collects. Our son talks about all his friends and is happy on the days he gets to go to nursery.

My child moved up into preschool just before he turned 3 and I was very unsure to begin with as I felt he was too young and hadn't had much settling in. After speaking with the staff they reassured me that he would be fine and he was. The staff in preschool were very lovely and welcoming which made
me feel at ease as well as my little one. In the morning he is very happy about going in and there is always a friendly welcome when greeted.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Bright Stars for 15 months now, since her first birthday. I can't recommend the nursery enough; the staff are caring and compassionate and always have a smile on their faces which I can imagine is no mean feat after a day with lots of toddlers! Our daughter is always really
excited to go in, and we receive regular updates about her progress. Staff are always happy to chat at the end of the day about any concerns or observations.
The site is on the small side, but they make the very best of the space and have regular excursions, so I dont think it's a negative at all. I never worry about my child's safety in their care. The size of the nursery is perfect, as it really feels like a little family - overall, we have been very happy, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to families in the local area.

Very lovely nursery with great staff.
Love being informed about what my child gets up to during the day.
Never had any problems, and my son loves all the workers and talks about them and what they have taught him.
Very accommodating with dietary requirements and allergies.
Well-trained staff and
all training staff are on a board that parents can see, which is nice.

My little boy has been attending Bright Stars now for two years, and he couldn't be happier. He absolutely loves going and really loves the girls in his room. He will speak highly of the setting on many occasions and always speaks about the different activities he has done throughout the day. He enjoys
the food and eats well every time he is there, and I couldn't be happier with the progress he is making.
Thank you so much for caring for him and making him feel so welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had our son at this nursery for just over a year now and are very pleased with his development in this time and we feel his time at the nursery is a big part of this. The staff at the nursery are all very passionate about their job and have created a welcoming and friendly environment for him
to be in. The nursery provides a wide range of activities for him to get involved with and he has enjoyed his time there so far. The small size of the nursery has meant that he knows all the staff and many of the children there and there is no feeling of him being overwhelmed. Overall we are very happy with our choice of nursery and would recommend others to sign their babies and children up here.

All the staff are very welcoming and friendly and try their best to understand the children as individuals.
Despite their location (at the end of an industrial/office estate) and size, the nursery makes the best of the local surroundings. The staff do this by walking to the nearby park and exploring
the few trees right next to the building.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 1 year old and has been there for just over 2 years. She has been through the Baby and Toddler rooms, and is now in the Pre-school room. She loves it there. They are given ample opportunity to play and learn in a diverse range of activities. The outside
space is compact but full of things to do and the children are given loads of time to play outside, which is great. The staff are professional, friendly and helpful and have a great rapport with the children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Bright Stars Day Nursery 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.907 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.907
  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 Bright Stars Day Nursery is based on 17 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
