Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at brightstars have been amazing from the start. Very understanding and helpful. Our little girl was shy and a bit overwhelmed with going in each morning and they made that a breeze for her, she can't wait to go in now. A medical diagnosis recently has also been handled fantastically and
we have no issues or worries when it comes to the care she receives whilst she is there. A fantastic team that the children clearly love to be around.

My daughter started at bright stars at 9 months old and is just about to start pre school. She has loved it here. All of the staff are amazing + so friendly. She enjoys all of the activities, the outside space and has tried many different types of food.
Thank you to all the staff.

My son loves his time at Bright Stars - the staff are great; they always make time to ensure he is settled and cared for, consistently - every day.
Always lots of different activities and games on offer for him - overall we're really happy.

My little boy has been attending Bright Stars since he was six months old. All the staff have been brilliant with him. He can be very tricky with food, but they are very understanding of his difficulties. He is always excited to go and has so much fun every day! I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our son enjoys Brightstars and the staff are friendly. However I do think the preschool room is lacking as they don't seem to do anything structured (or at least very rarely). I would like to see more work on numbers, letters and pre-reading skills as I would day our son is ready for it and is not really
mentally stimulated. That said the team are lovely and he enjoys being there which is great.

My daughter has been at Bright Stars since she was 10 months old. Started at the Baby Room and has since gone up to the Toddler room. Her whole time there we have been blown away. They are so attentive to the children and always go the extra mile. Her development has gone from strength to strength there.
She was so nervous when she first joined but they were so patient with her but since then she has become so confident and friendly and chatty and knows the staff all by name and asks for them outside of nursery too. Its a lovely building, nice and bright, and you can tell its just a really lovely atmosphere. We couldnt be happier with our choice sending her to Bright Stars and her key workers have been unbelievable (as have all the staff).

My son has been at Bright Stars Childcare for two months now and I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are so caring and friendly which clearly helped his speedy settling in. He gets to do a mix of activities inside and out, smiles to see me at the end of the day but is very happy to
be left there at the start of the day! I honestly couldn't have hoped for a better start to our family nursery experience. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started with Bright Stars in September 2023 and I have nothing but positives to comment on. The baby room has been fantastic in settling her in and ensuring we are kept up to date with what she’s eating, drinking, nappies and naps, as well as how much she is enjoying her time there. Her
key worker changed at Christmas and there was a really smooth transition with minimal disruption to her. Since the lady has joined the activities which she is doing while at nursery is having such a positive impact on her development and wellbeing. We couldn’t be happier and love that she enjoys her time there so much. We have recommended it to many other friends and would be happy to send any additional children to Bright Stars in the future.

Bright Stars Childcare is such a fantastic nursery. They have been so supportive in caring for my daughter. She has additional medical needs and they have really gone above and beyond to make sure she has everything she needs. They have supported us as a family during her time in their care. The staff
are so caring and great fun with the children. My son also attended and has fond memories of his time there. The outdoor area is fantastic and accessible. I would highly recommend Bright Stars Childcare and I'm very thankful to have found them.

Our daughter started at Bright Stars when he was nine months old and is now in Pre-School. We have been incredibly fortunate that her key worker has remained the same throughout. She is fantastic and has built a wonderful relationship with our daughter, as have other staff members. Staff have gone above
and beyond, especially through the pandemic. They have adapted events and created lovely videos so not to miss out. Our daughter has always loved attending and enjoys every day!

We are very happy with the care provided for our child. We know that she is safe, happy and entertained at Bright Stars. The children are provided with fun, stimulating and age-appropriate activities. The staff are very professional and have communicated clearly with us about how our child has been
through the day. They have also been very respectful of our wishes for our child.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.108)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.108) out of 10 for The Lindens Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 11 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 4.708 for The Lindens Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.708
  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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Lindens Nursery School is based on 11 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 = 3.775
    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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.625
  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.
