Little Stars is an incredible nursery. I have my two children, a boy and a girl under the age of four attending, and I am more than confident in the care provided by the staff. My son has thrived so well in his learning and growth, and my baby girl has settled well with her primary person. I can't recommend
this nursery enough. The staff are wonderful, polite and keep you informed daily. The front-of-staff management has a well-rounded handle on things. I am so happy we found them. Thank you, Little Stars team; praying for increasing growth and wellness in the nursery.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.
I was nervous about leaving my daughter for the first time without me - she is quite shy.
However, as soon as l met her key worker and l saw how they interacted together, l calmed down.
My daughter is very excited about going to the nursery, she talks about
what she was doing there, and she asks about her key worker, even at the weekend.
I'm very grateful, and l can't recommend them enough.

I can't thank enough all the staff at Little Stars Day Nursery for the way that they take care of my baby boy. My older one was there too and they were the same with him. Thank you all.

Good dropping and picking up times for full time working parents. My son went to school holiday club for the first time.
He was very tearful on the first day because he didn't know anyone but at the end of the day, he didn't want to come home!
The staff are very nice, they have lots of activities,
visits to local museums and parks. My son was always happy and excited to tell me what he did every day when we went to pick him up. He can't wait to go back next holidays!

Cannot thank the staff at Little Stars enough for everything they do! I was nervous when my little one first joined at eight months old however I was updated using the baby days app and the staff were so kind and caring I knew my son was in the best possible care. Fast forward to my now four years old
who is due to start school in September and I cannot thank the staff enough for preparing him for the transition to school, for everything they have taught him and continue to teach him! He also now eats a range of food, things that I wouldn’t necessarily cook at home and I know he is getting a healthy balanced diet whilst at the setting.

The best nursery in Peterborough for all three of my daughters. We have been using this nursery since 2014 and still do for holiday clubs. The childcare provided to my girls was amazing, they thoroughly enjoy coming here and feel at home when seeing everyone in the setting.

Both of my children have gone to this nursery and they have both loved it. The staff are lovely and friendly. I’ve recommended this place to all the people I know with kids. Sadly my youngest will be leaving here as of September to go to big school but I have loved bringing my kids for the last 4-years.

I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter at nursery, knowing that she is so happy there and well cared for. All of the staff are approachable and have made the effort to get to know my daughter. She is encouraged by her key worker to keep developing and meeting her milestones and I think nursery has
hugely helped with her speech and confidence.

I registered my son to come to this nursery in April 2021. I moved from a different city and the manager has been outstanding in ensuring my son settled in well with all staff, is always kind and has made our experience absolutely amazing. Two other members of staff are very good with my son and make
him feel happy being there. Highly recommended. Excellent nursery and I feel that money is well spent, especially as they've got a caring manager and employees. I can see a massive difference in my child in terms of speech and happiness with this nursery compared to previous ones.

Only the best recommendations! My daughter is attending this nursery now for nearly two years and she is still always excited to go there. Her group educators are always responsible and helpful, she is very connected with them. My daughter is always learning something new and after these two years,
she is very independent and wants to do everything herself. I am definitely happy with choosing this nursery!

We have had a good experience so far. This is our first child, and we were very worried, but the staff made the process very easy. The transition and settling of our child has been excellent, and we love the portal where we can see what our child does during the day.

My child is in the baby room and enjoys going to nursery. My child is also happy when walking to nursery and tells mummy what she's been doing when I pick her up. The staff are lovely, they look after my little one very well. They provide a healthy variety of food which my little one loves. They also
listen to the parents and work with them to help the child in their development.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.328)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.328) out of 10 for Little 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 12 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 4.896 for Little Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.896
  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 4.432 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Stars Day Nursery is based on 12 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 = 3.8
    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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.632
  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.
