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.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that our team has been supportive and welcoming to both you and your child. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us!
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.
Hi Jessie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback. Thank you for recognising our dedication to creating carefully created spaces that children can learn and grow in. Thank you for choosing us!
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!
Thank you for leaving a review and providing your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our team and that your twins are having a positive experience at our nursery. We are grateful for your choice!
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!

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!
My son attends twice a week whilst I am at work. He really enjoys it and he is learning new things every day. Very informative website, regular updates my sons daily learning and diet.
Lovely, caring, friendly, family orientated learning environment. Really pleased with all our encounters with Bright Stars. Caring, honest, open staff. Interested in the children's wellbeing. Lovely team. A* Facility.
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.
My daughter has been here since June and has settled in brilliantly. The staff have been excellent and always consider her needs. They are very friendly and professional and will do anything to help. We get updates everyday of what she has done including pictures which is fantastic. I am very glad we chose this nursery and would definitely recommend.
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.
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.
Excellent nursery. My son comes home very happy. I can tell he is developing great skills whilst being at Bright Stars
I am impressed with Bright Stars day nursery. My child settled very well, and seems very happy and is extremely well cared for. All of the staff throughout the nursery are very professional, friendly and approachable.
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.
Our daughter really enjoys her time at nursery. The staff are brilliant with her, so kind and caring. I would thoroughly recommend to others.
I am very happy with my daughter's time at the nursery so far. She enjoys her time here and gets so excited and can't wait to go.
I would recommend to friends and family.
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.
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.
