My daughter loves the lindens and her teachers. They care for her and treat her with love and genuine attention. However my child is on the quiet side and sometimes I do feel she gets lost or staff aren't sure on how to engage her properly. Other than this kids are always clean and happy and the nursery has undergone a new renovation so the facilities are wonderful and safe
Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that your daughter enjoys her time at The Lindens. We also appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with the team.
My eldest daughter attended this nursery and now my second daughter attends. I love it just as much now as I did then! My daughter is only 1 but gets SO excited to go to nursery in a morning. So much so, I can use it as a bargaining chip to get her to put her shoes on, etc!! She's got a wonderful bond with all the staff and gets really happy to see them all. Will 100% also be sending my son when I return to work in January!

My son thoroughly enjoys his time there and is always excited to go in each day. It's so reassuring as a parent to know he's in such a nurturing and supportive environment. Thank you to all the wonderful staff in Hedgehogs for everything you do - we couldn't be happier with the care and attention you provide.

Couldn't have picked a better nursery for my little boy to attend as he absolutely loves it here.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are absolutely delighted to hear how much your son has enjoyed his time with us and that you have seen such incredible progress in his development. We look forward to continuing to support him as he learns, grows and thrives.
All four of my children have attended the Lindens (formerly Bright Stars) and I don't trust anybody else with my children the way I do the members of staff here. Every member of staff treat my children as they would their own with endless compassion and love, it's definitely home from home. I've had the pleasure of watching the nursery grow over the last 8 years from a small (but still lovely) nursery to the bigger nursery it is now. I definitely recommend the Lindens to everybody!
Thank you for your recommendation and for being such a valued member of our nursery community.
The lindens nursery have been fabulous with my little boy. I was so so nervous leaving him for the first time it broke my heart but he absolutely adores it there. He gets so excited to go into nursery and always comes out happy. They provide amazing home cooked meals that he loves and all of the staff are amazing. 100% recommend them.
Thank you for placing your trust in us during such an important stage of your son's development. We feel privileged to be part of his early years journey and are so grateful for your wonderful feedback.
Lindens is a fantastic nursery and staff have a wonderful child approach and amazing communication with parents informing them and keeping updated with their child's day with regular updates through the app. My daughter thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery and has progressed massively in her development during her time here. The staff are always so supportive and helpful always putting parents at ease.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with The Lindens Nursery School. We are delighted to hear how happy you are with your daughter's time at nursery.
My daughter started in September 2025 in one of the toddler rooms and she absolutely loves it. Settled so well and she can be quite anxious/quiet so I was really nervous to start off with but she loves every single staff member that works with her not just her key worker and they are all so kind and caring. Everyone is so accommodating, understanding and supportive. I couldn't be more grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Will always recommend to others and have any future children attend here.
Thank you for your trust, recommendation, and lovely feedback. We look forward to continuing to be part of your daughter's early years journey.
My daughter is happy to go into the nursery,she loves the time she spends there and all the ladies on her group. She has made a very nice and friendly friend there which she is so excited to be with them every day. Happy with time she goes there. Thank you!
We are delighted to hear that your daughter enjoys coming to nursery and has built such positive relationships with both her friends and the team. It is wonderful to know that she looks forward to seeing her friend each day and is so happy during her time with us. Thank you for your trust and support.
One of the biggest signs of how happy he is there is that he's always excited to go in. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he's in such a supportive and nurturing environment. We're very grateful for all the hard work the team puts in.

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that this is one of the best nurseries around! My little boy has been attending since he was 9 months old, and the experience has been phenomenal. All of the staff in every room are attentive, amazing, and full of so much joy. You can really tell they truly love what they do.
My son absolutely loves going; he has developed such an amazing connection with everyone. They greet him readily at the door and adapt to any needs I put forward without question. Even on days when he wants me to walk him all the way up to his room, they are always accommodating and say yes.
I really cannot thank them enough. He has only just turned 2, but I am already dreading his last day here! Every member of the team goes above and beyond-I cannot emphasize this enough. From the practitioners to the office and catering staff, everyone is incredible. I whole-heartedly recommend this nursery 1000x over and always will
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and recommendation. We are absolutely delighted to hear how positive your experience has been with us since your little boy joined at just 9 months old. Thank you for trusting us with your son's early years journey.
After a bad experience with a different nursery with my eldest daughter and changing her to this one it's the only place I wanted my youngest to go. All the staff are amazing with what they do and really helped my girls feel like they were in a safe place. Could not recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you for your trust and support. We feel privileged to have been part of your daughters' early years journeys and are incredibly grateful for your recommendation.

We moved our child from another nursery to this one earlier in the year and it really has been the best thing for her. Her speech has come on so much, her confidence and understanding of the world. BrightStars really do take time with your children to understand their needs and find best practices on how to bring them on to their fullest.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear how well your little one has settled and the wonderful progress she's made. The team take great pride in getting to know each child and supporting them to thrive, so your kind words mean a lot.
I can't thank them enough.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your son loves Bright Stars Childcare and is thriving. Our team takes great care in providing a supportive and communicative environment, and we truly appreciate your kind words!
My son has been coming for over a year, he started upstairs in the baby room and I cannot thank the baby staff enough, they went above and beyond for him and was always there for me if I needed them. He then moved up to toddlers and again, the staff are amazing with him, he's come so far since being at Bright Stars Childcare. All of the staff in the nursery are so caring and friendly and make play fun! I'd recommend 100%.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It's amazing to hear how much your son has flourished at Bright Stars. Our team is passionate about creating a nurturing and engaging space, and we're so grateful for your kind words and recommendation!
My son started in January of this year. As he did not know anyone, he would act out, but thanks to support of the staff he has now made new friend and feels comfortable at the nursery. He also was upset when leaving him, but now seems to look forward to going. They have done a fantastic job in helping him to improve his communication skills. I would recommend sending your children here.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear how much progress your son has made and that he now looks forward to nursery. It's great to know our team's support has helped him build friendships and improve his communication skills. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
