Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has come on so well since starting Bright Stars - been going for around a year and they absolutely love it!
Nothing is ever an issue for them and the staff are so lovely and understanding. Things being logged on the app could be logged a bit better but understand that staff can be busy so
isn't always going to be a priority so as long as my child is enjoying herself, I'm happy! Wouldn't mind a bit more detail when picking up at the end of the day but not a major issue at all!
Lots of fun things to do both indoors and outdoors so kids are never bored. Love seeing photos of what they've got up to when they're posted.

Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Nice facility but room for improvement. Rarely got pictures or updates or knew what child got up to in a day. Kids were always watching a tiny tablet at pick up and handover was always just 'all good today'. And if I sent medicine in it was never logged if the kid had taken it. They do have a nice outdoor
area and it is very secure.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.299) out of 10 for Bright Stars Childrens Day Care Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.217 for Bright Stars Childrens Day Care Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.217
  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 3.082 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Stars Childrens Day Care Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.082
  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.
