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.

They care for our children like they are their own and have taken the time to get to know our whole family. The staff are happy to see my children and the boys love telling me about their teachers and carers.
The range of activities on offer is relevant, seasonal and different every day. The team put huge effort into planning and arranging a huge range of activities and trips, which our children really enjoy.
The communication with parents is second to none and there are regular events to keep parents informed, connected with other parents and informed about curriculum updates.
I can’t recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for the superb job they are doing. I am looking forward to my youngest child starting later this year.

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.

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.
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...
Thank you so much for caring for him and making him feel so welcome.
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.
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...
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.
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.

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.
The team at Bright Stars Day Nursery are wonderful, they are incredibly caring and really look after and entertain the children in their care. They are always happy to help and do the most they can for my child. I really appreciate all that work there!

The best nursery with the most caring and attentive staff, our daughter absolutely loves it and it's a home away from home. Thank you so much to all of the staff for being so absolutely wonderful - we are so very lucky.

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.

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.

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.
