Review from Katy B (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended since September 2019, and all I can say is a fantastic nursery. Lovely people. Well thought out activities, encourages children’s independence. Teaches them about hygiene and emergency services. The staff really care about the kids, and they handle difficult situations brilliantly
with care and explanations. They encourage the kids to tidy up after themselves. I feel really positive about leaving my kids in their care. I feel like the things I teach my kids at home is reinforced there, which makes things easier. I can’t recommend highly enough. In fact, I didn’t want my son to start nursery until he was three, but it’s such a great setting, he’s starting next; week six months earlier than I planned.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is currently at Shooting Stars Preschool. The staff here are just simply amazing. My son started preschool really struggling with speech and now a couple of months on he is communicating clearly and is saying sentences. The staff and management have been really supportive and have put on communication
groups whilst he is learning and playing and really have encouraged him to achieve with positive interactions, good praise and beautiful activities which he has chosen and they have extended. The setting is set out every day the room and garden and all the children have free flow and use the space lovely. Management are always about throughout the day, welcoming and checking that everything is ok and that all parents and children are happy. I'm so pleased we chose this preschool it has been the best decision for our son, he is happy, enjoying his time there and learning more and more each day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Shooting Stars Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 5.000 for Shooting Stars Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 5
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shooting Stars Pre-School is based on 17 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2016

I have been in childcare for over 20 years. It has always been a passion of mine to help give children the best care and education in the early years of their life. I first started with Stars Day Nurseries as a room leader when they opened their very first setting. I then returned years later as a manager in 2016 after doing a BA Honours in Professional Studies in Early Years as well as an Early Years Professional Status.
I have been at Shooting Stars Preschool since 2019 co-managing with Sallyann where we have worked together alongside the team to build an outstanding setting.
