Review from georgia w (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended here since 2023, and has always loved it.
This place is absolutely incredible and my little boy has developed massively since attending here.
the staff are so loving to the children and it's so clear to see how much they love their job.

Couldn't have picked a better nursery for my little boy to attend as he absolutely loves it here.

Review from Lauren T (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

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.

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.

Overall Experience
Today's visit to your open day nursery in Sutton in Ashfield was wonderful.
The staff were very welcoming and informative.
The lucky children who attend have a wide range of activities etc to keep them occupied and happy in such spotless, pleasant and caring surroundings.
It felt like home from home.
I can see why our grandchild loves coming to nursery.

A huge thank you and well done to you all.

Review from Agnieszka C (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm very happy that my daughter is attending the Lindens Nursery School.
Teachers and Management are very well spoken, carrying and always approachable.
Me or my husband always gets a summary of the day when we pick our girl up.
During the week we get photos to see what is she doing.
Whenever I wanted to double check how she is doing or just ask a question I have never felt unheard.
Today( at the opening day) I was able to meet future teachers and explore the rooms and the garden( which are beautiful).
There are so many activities happening daily in the nursery, and we can't recommend it enought.

Our daughter loves it. And so do we.

Review from Tayler P (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Adrianne H (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, which has made a huge difference for our child. Since starting here, he has come on so much in his development, and it's been wonderful to see his confidence grow.

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.

Review from Danusia T (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

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!

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery! Every day she is learning and doing something new which is amazing for her development, she has gone from unsure of going to walking herself straight in. I am so grateful for the patience of the staff, they all put in a great effort to not only look after but give each and every child the attention they need. Thank you again bright stars!

Review from Sian F (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at The Lindens Nursery School

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.

Bright Stars Childcare is outstanding. My son loves to go there. He is well looked after and picking up English with children and lovely stuff. Handovers are thorough and detailed. It is easy to communicate and get feedback regarding development, behaviours and daily activities.

I can't thank them enough.

Review from E C (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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%.

Review from Andrew C (Father of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Daniel C (Father of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended since he was 9 months old. He absolutely thrives, he loves the staff in all rooms, he's moved from babies to Toddler 1 and the transition was smooth. The handovers are always very detailed and he loves coming in every day. The staff in the rooms and management team go above and beyond to help with any queries which makes us feel at ease. Highly recommend this nursery.
