Review from Sara D (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Smiley Stars in September 2019 at 10-months-old. Since then, his development has come on leaps and bounds. The app is great for seeing how he is doing each day he is there. He is always smiling or looking curious with an object in the photos and is always happy to be left with his
ladies, who are so kind and appear to love him. We loved reading his recent developmental review and to hear more about what he gets up to at nursery.
I cannot thank the staff at Smiley Stars enough for all they have done for our son. He absolutely loves it there.

The staff are very helpful and friendly considering that we were new and recently relocated. Very understanding and they guided us on what to do and gave us all the information we needed. Even my son loves it there and loves his teacher. We would recommend to anyone.

Review from Ross C (Father of Child) published on 8 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After reviewing many nurseries deciding which one to choose to send our daughter to, Smiley Stars has greatly exceeded the expectation we have had.


The use of technology for the facilities as well as learning, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds and every child looks happy when I pick up my

little girl.


The staff cannot be more friendly and accommodating. They listen to the needs of the parent, as well as a child, which helps relieve stress as we know it can be heartbreaking to leave our child even for a few minutes.


The staff are a credit to child care everywhere and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate for the security and care they provide for our daughter.


Thank you, ladies.

My 18-month old son has been attending Smiley Stars for 3 days a week for the past 4-months or so. During that time he has come on in leaps and bounds with the excellent team ensuring that there's never a dull moment for him and that he learns and grows through play every day. How can I be sure? Well,
for one thing, there's the app that the team uses to provide written updates and photographs of key moments in the day. There's also an online learning journal to record key outcomes and update us on speech, language, creative and motor skills and whatever else his wee mind is exploring. In person the team have been superb, even dealing with his recent teething pains like the experts that they truly are. The nursery areas indoors are clean, bright and homely with plenty of stimulating activities. The wee ones also get outside to the garden as often as practical so there's a good balance of activities. My son loves attending and I'd happily recommend Smiley Stars to friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two girls have been attending Smiley Stars since they were each one year old. The nursery provides educational, structured play on a friendly, bright and homely environment. The staff are all so kind and accommodating. Both my children look forward to going to nursery and seeing their ‘ladies’. We
get regular updates via the Famly app and Learning Journals. The nursery has recently undergone a major renovation and the results are exceptional.

Brilliant Nursery, don’t regret picking this nursery for my child. All the staff are extremely friendly and lovely. They take into account your child’s needs. Ever since starting the nursery my little boy's speech has come along amazingly. He has learned a lot too. Would recommend this nursery to anyone
looking for a nursery to send their children to.

This is a fabulous nursery. My little boy is incredibly happy here. He is cared for, nurtured, encouraged and comforted. He has formed positive relationships with all the staff and continues to show a high level of progress thanks to their support.
The communication on a day to day basis keeps me
informed of his day, activities and I love receiving pictures of him having fun! This makes leaving him a million times easier and still makes me feel involved.

Smiley Stars is a wonderful nursery to send my little girl, it truly is a home from home environment. The staff are fantastic a great team together and very hard working. The Famly app is amazing as I can see what my little one is up to throughout the day which is awesome. The staff have helped develop
and given my daughter skills that will help her throughout her time at the nursery and onto school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Mansewood 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.932 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Mansewood is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.932
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Smiley Stars Nursery - Mansewood is based on 16 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
