Since my son has started to go to this nursery, he has been enjoying it a lot. He is always pleased to go there and the staff are amazing. They have treated my son very well and take great care of him. He always brings posters, drawings, colouring and cards home. I would really recommend this place.

Review from Humaira K (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The reason I chose Little Stars for my child is because of the outstanding Ofsted rating and the reviews I have seen from other parents.
My child has really enjoyed his time at Little Stars, he has made good bonds and relationships with the staff and enjoys coming to play each day. There is always
a range of activities for the children to do and I like how they have free flow play constantly from the garden to indoors. The app they use is really good as all the relevant information such as daily nappy changes are recorded, as well as photos and observations so you always know what’s going on throughout your child’s day.

My daughter loves going to nursery - she really enjoys playing and interacting with the other children and the attention she gets from her teachers.
The staff and whole team have been very helpful with caring for her special needs regarding her allergies and very mindful of it.
Overall, I am happy
with her learning progress and happy with the nursery setting and the whole team at Little Stars Nursery. Thank you.

Well, what can I say? These guys and girls are fabulous.
They blooming know what they are doing.
The setting, from what I know and what I can see, is age appropriate. They do what all should do and that is to have fun!
I'd say for someone who's anxious on leaving their child, these people have
calmed my anxiety. That's how great they are.

Found staff very friendly and supportive when my little one joined. Was having issues with having hot meals so was helping her by allowing a small pack up to encourage her to finish her meal. Has responded to my queries when registering effectively and efficiently.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I first went back to work I was really nervous about letting our baby go to nursery but Little Stars have been brilliant throughout and we really couldn’t have asked for better. I remember visiting after having been around other nurseries and as soon as I put my daughter down in the baby room to
chat to the staff she instantly started to crawl around and play with the staff. This hadn’t been the case at the other nurseries we had visited. I could tell she felt safe there, that it was the sort of environment she would enjoy being in and, for me, this was more important than their outstanding Ofsted report.
That was 2 years ago and she is now in the preschool room. Her key workers have all taken ample time to get to know her and you can tell they genuinely care and want the best for her. The support with any problems we have faced and communication has been great and we feel very lucky to have found such a great nursery. We would definitely recommend Little Stars to others!

I couldn’t be happier with Little Stars Nursery. The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. It’s a home away from home. I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities she does
each day is amazing which has helped my child's development tremendously. Her key worker has been a vital part of my daughter’s improvement and care.
I would like to say many thanks to her and all staff from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with nappy changing and potty training, caring when she was not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to which was also very important.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.921 for Little Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.921
  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 4.895 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.895
  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.
