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.

Review from P M (Father of Child) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our twin boys have settled very quickly into the nursery. They are developing their social skills and this is largely thanks to the care and dedication shown by the staff.
It is a comfortable and inviting environment with good outside space for the children to explore and play. More importantly, the
boys feel safe at the nursery and don't hesitate to approach the staff if necessary. The boys are assigned key workers who always provide a detailed daily review on pick up.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son is always happy to attend nursery and I always collect him in a happy mood.
He tells me about his day and what activities he has done which are varied and interesting.
He has become close to staff members and he is always happy to see them when I take him into nursery.
I feel very happy to
leave him with the staff knowing he is well cared for.

Review from Katie I (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Bright Stars when she was 1 and she loves it!
The baby room feels very home from home and the staff are wonderful - they certainly made it as easy as possible to leave her for the first time. She has recently moved up to the toddler room and loves the additional space inside
and outside and the range of toys (sometimes it is difficult to get her to leave!). The range of activities is great (and saves me having to deal with the mess at home) - she regularly comes home with paintings, baking, new favourite books. Bright Stars offer a good range of outings to the local library or parks and activities that parents can get involved in. The food seems to be a good variety and I love the fact that they get outside in the fresh air every day.

I can not thank the staff enough at Bright Stars with the settling in of my baby girl even from visiting whilst I was still pregnant to now they have been impeccable, so friendly, comforting, accommodating and professional nothing is ever too much trouble which made my little one settle in with ease
and now even after just a month she absolutely loves it and has such a fab time doing all sorts play and activities. It’s like home from home which is what I wanted in a nursery and I know she is in the very best hands when I leave so thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.923 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.923
  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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Stars Day Nursery is based on 13 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 13 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.
