Review from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. Every single member of staff is so friendly and approachable. Not only are they amazing with the children but the parents also. After a difficult time recently, I've had many conversations with lots of the ladies and those chats mean everything.

Review from Jessie R (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has just started at Bright Starts Childcare Services and I'm already impressed with their care and approach. The staff have been exceptionally welcoming, helping him settle in quickly and comfortably.
What's truly exciting is the progress I've seen in such a short time. His speech has improved remarkably and it's clear the nursery's language-rich environment is having a positive impact.
I'm also thrilled to see how his ability to play and explore has blossomed. The nursery offers a stimulating setting that encourages curiosity and learning through play.

Overall, Bright Starts is proving to be an excellent choice for our family. The nurturing atmosphere and focus on development are exactly what we hoped for in a nursery. I would 100% recommend them.

Overall Experience

My twins started in April 2024 after the Easter break and they loved it from the get-go. They fit in straight away and it was clear how much they were learning and developing immediately. They love the staff and it's clear the staff love them. I am overjoyed with my choice to place the twins there!

Review from Georgie F (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Bright Stars in January 2024 and loves it! I had a look around for other nurseries before we chose Bright Stars but they were at the top of my list because my oldest daughter attended Bright Stars before she started school and also loved it. The reason we looked around was because we wanted to explore cheaper options but at Bright Stars, you get what you pay for and us as parents couldn't put a price on our daughter's happiness and development. The staff are incredible, caring and kind and you really get a homely, loving feel when you go. Bright Stars are like an extended family and my baby girl comes home happy and quite frankly, fuming that we've picked her up! We can't recommend them enough and my partner was extremely anxious putting our little one in a nursery at such a young age (10 months when she started) but the staff made him feel so much better and calmer - so thank you for everything you do!

Review from Danielle N (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery when he was 2 all the way until he was 4 when he left for school, when my son started he didn't talk much, was shy around new people and never left my side unless myself or his dad was with him and was never confident. The change in him for those 2 years was absolutely incredible! The care and time spent on him, I will forever be in their debt! He always learned something new every day! I really couldn't recommend Bright Stars enough! I have so many fond memories! And any children following my son I will be sure to send them here! Thank you all so much!

I have two children in the nursery. The nursery has evolved from a small to one with several additions over the years. It has a great outdoor area for all ages. Staff are very professional and friendly. I feel my children are very well looked after.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming here for around four years, and my son since February 2015. Bright Stars are a very well established nursery. The girls in the baby room are fantastic, it's like home from home for my son. My daughter gets collected from school, she really enjoys her time here. Everyone is great.

Overall Experience

Bright Stars has been home away from home for my two daughters. They're cared for in a safe, loving environment with the opportunity to learn new things everyday. Basic care is excellent and are given a healthy and varied menu each week for snacks/lunch. The staff are all very lovely and helpful. Facilities are fantastic and always very clean. There's no other place I'd rather take my two little girls. I think its great and always recommend it anyone who is looking for a nursery.

Review from Vicky S (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We are delighted that our daughter has a place at Bright Stars. The nursery was highly recommend by a good friend. Our daughter often greets staff by putting her arms out, which makes us feel confident that the staff are doing their job right, as she wants to be there. She can't wait to start playing when she arrives each day and begin joining in with the daily activities. She seems to enjoy all the different varieties of food that she is given.

When I first visited Bright Stars I knew there and then it was the nursery I wanted my daughter to attend. I love how homely it feels and the staff are so experienced. My daughter loves it here and there is no where else I would want to her to go. The facilities are amazing, indoor and out! I would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience

Our little girl started at Bright Stars almost a year ago and we have been impressed by all areas. The staff are wonderful, taking account of the personal interest of our child. My daughter's key worker is a credit to the establishment. She is always keeping us well informed about our daughter's progress and what she has been up to. The Bright Stars setting is what we all love about the nursery, it is a home from home. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone.
