I was super nervous to send my little one to the nursery; however, the ladies there made me feel comfortable and reassured me loads. I'm glad I chose Stars for my daughter; they treat her like their own, and she loves going every day. Thank you so much.

My son started this nursery a few months ago. Since then I have seen that it was the best decision choosing Bright Stars Day Nursery for him. All the staff are lovely and kind, through them my son has been happier than ever and developed many new skills. The children always do many activities to keep
them busy throughout the day and my son always enjoys them. The children are always provided with a different range of foods by their chef. The nursery is great value for money, I highly recommend this nursery. Thank you to everyone at Bright Stars Day Nursery.

Cannot speak highly enough about this nursery. My child has been there since she was a baby, the care and feedback has been outstanding throughout. Each member of staff cares deeply about all the children in the setting and makes it a fun place for children and parents to be, whilst ensuring the children
continue to progress and develop in creative and engaging ways. 10/10 would recommend this nursery for the reliable, quality and all round wonderful care given to my child and all children I've seen in the setting.

Since my little boy has been attending Bright Stars Day Nursery he has come along so much and developed such amazing relationships with his peers. The staff at Bright Stars are amazing and bend over backwards to help. I'm so glad I chose this setting for my son, it's his last year with the nursery and
I will be sad when he leaves. Keep on being amazing everyone at Bright Stars!

I am so happy I chose to send my child to Bright Stars; they are a fantastic nursery. All the staff are so friendly and supportive. My son really enjoys going to the nursery. They have really supported him and helped him to settle in so well. They are making great progress with him. I really love the
nursery app; it helps me to keep up to date and see photos of what my child is doing throughout the day.

All of the girls at Bright Stars Day Nursery have been fantastic, settling my son into nursery. They look after him so well and he always looks happy, interacting with the staff and the toys that the nursery provide.

Communication has been amazing, from all the staff and the photos, private messages and extra support that's been needed. Can't fault anything at all. Even on days off or to my child being poorly, communicating and checking up has still been open.

I can honestly say it’s the best nursery ever. My child has had so much support and doing extremely well. Extremely sad that my daughter will be leaving in September, but will never be forgotten.

I was your typical anxious Mum bringing my daughter to nursery. I even cried getting the application form whilst speaking to one of the workers. I look back now and wonder why I was so worried! My daughter still has days when she doesn't want to do but there is never a day she doesn't come out smiling
and excited. My daughter starts school in September 2022 and because of the workers at Bright Stars Day Nursery, she is 100% ready. They have been so amazingly friendly and caring, lots of fun whilst learning. Thank you so much Bright Stars you're amazing at what you do.

My little boy has been attending Bright Stars since he was a baby and will be turning 3 years old next month. My son is currently in the toddler room and absolutely adores the girls! They provide some lovely stimulating activities and I always look forward to seeing his photos and what he's been up
to that day. They keep me updated with what he's been up to and set good boundaries and routines, which is important to us. But most importantly, he is happy and we couldn't wish for more. The girls treat him as their own and really do go above and beyond! Thank you for everything you do for our boy. He's coming on leaps and bounds and that's due to everything you guys do with him. So thank you.

Anyone who knows my child knows he is a cheeky boisterous, active little typical boy! I was worried about how he will follow the nursery routine and in general. I am so proud of him and the credit all goes to the wonderful team at Bright Stars. The staff at preschool know exactly how to work around
my child and he absolutely loves the staff. He comes home all cheerful and talks about what he has done throughout the day, I can see he absolutely loves it! I am so glad I moved my son from the nursery he used to go to because I think preschool staff have really prepared my son for school. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.978 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.978
  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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Stars Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769
  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.
