Stars Pre-School Welland is a nursery where children can attend the nursery in sessions between 8 am – 1 pm, or from 1.15 pm – 4.15 pm.

The nursery can also offer 1 pm – 6 pm session and arrangements to accommodate children in receipt of the funded 30 hours entitlement.

The children learn through play and interaction and are encouraged to explore their environment with a qualified key carer where they build strong relationships with children, parents and families right from settling into nursery through to the transition to school.

The key worker will do individual observation, planning and assessment in line with the early years foundation stage curriculum (EYFS).

There is also an excellent outdoor area where the children are encouraged to explore their natural world.

Cannot rate this nursery enough. Staff are amazing, the setting and day to day activities are great. My now 7 year old went here and it was without a doubt where I was sending my 2 year old and she loves it just as much as my 7 year old did

The nursery is wonderful in every way: the environment is very cozy and well-suited for children and their various daily activities; the teachers are friendly, warm, and incredibly creative, but most importantly - they truly love and sincerely care for the children! My highest personal recommendations!

One of the staff is my son's key person, she is lovely and kind always! She makes a lot of time for my son and always keeps me updated with how his days are going at nursery and his progress. This key person is always bubbly and has a smile on her face. She is an amazing key worker to my son.

My experience has been amazing with Stars Welland. 3 of my children have attended this setting in the last 9 years and I have always had a wonderful experience. The staff are all amazing. They always go above and beyond. My son's keyworker is amazing too. My son has autism and they accommodate his needs
perfectly and always ensure he is well cared for. I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from C C (Father of Child) published on 21 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started this nursery in May 23' and has settled in very well. She has made friends and doesn't stop talking about them and the activities she has done throughout the session. She gets very upset on the day she doesn't have to go. The teachers are respectful and approachable and will give
sound feedback about her day whenever I collect her. I like the fact a teacher recognised that my child was a slow/fussy eater and gave advice on how to encourage her to eat more. I'm happy we chose this nursery for my daughter and would recommend it to anyone who wants to enrol their child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Welland is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.935 for Stars Pre-School Welland is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.935
  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 Stars Pre-School Welland 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, 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.
