Since my two-year-old started Stars Pre-School, all I can say is how much praise I can give them. My two-year-old was not settling at first but the staff have gone above and beyond to encourage him to stay and play. I can honestly say he now does morning until the end of the session.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to thank all Stars Pre-School Parnwell staff for the love and support they showed when our little one started nursery. My child was really hard to deal with as this was his first time to be with other kids and be away from us his parents. We had no hope that he was going to get used to
playing with others with his parents being away. All staff showed love and supported us. My child is now used to going to nursery, and he is also showing some changes at home with his day-to-day activities. Special thanks to the team - we are grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has blossomed here and has made such great bonds with all the staff. She has become more social with children her age outside of her setting due to the confidence she has gained here. I have seen my daughter welcomed for the first day with open arms and she loves going every day! The
staff go above and beyond for their children and it shows in all the kids' behaviour!
Reply from Lisa Barry, Manager at Stars Pre-School Parnwell
Thank you so much for this, Hazel; she is such a little cutie.

Our son is in the setting. Not full days, but the experience is positive, and we can see how he loves the nursery. We have a new best friend now, and he can take her home. Wish for more outdoor area activities and for our to be there for more hours.

The setting is always full of smiles and laughter from not only the children but the staff as well. I feel safe leaving my son in the care of his key worker, who is in tune with my son's needs. The staff are always on hand for a quick chat about any concerns and will assist in any way possible. The
staff are quick to adapt to new children and make strong bonds with them.

Review from Chris H (Father of Child) published on 7 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent preschool. The staff/practitioners are very friendly, always welcoming my son in attendance and saying goodbye when leaving for the day. They have a range of activities/themes which encourages learning. They encourage healthy eating, ensuring fresh water is available, applying sun cream/hat
in warm weather, and encouraging toilet visits. They demonstrate a real care for the children and their development. Their social media updates are excellent, and weekly upload pictures of my son on their app. The best feedback is from my son, who says at home in the morning, "I want to go to preschool", and when leaving for the day", I love preschool".

WOW! What a great review. Thank you so much; such a lovely family, so helpful and supportive to our preschool.

When I came to visit the preschool looking for a place for my daughter, the staff were really helpful and very friendly. The school has good space and enough toys for the kids to play with. They have plenty of staff, so I know my daughter is in safe hands. Just want to say thank you for making my daughter
feel welcome and enjoy being here. Thank you.

I am very happy with the people who work there, for being helpful, smiling and friendly. My second child is attending this preschool right now, and he feels great there. Once again, my child gets a super babysitter who he absolutely loves. I recommend this place.

I am so happy with the care that my daughter gets at Stars Pre-Scholl. It is a really special place for children to play and learn together. My daughter talks about it all the time. The communication I receive is excellent, always knowing exactly what the children are up to and what they have not eaten.
Highly recommended! 10/10.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Parnwell 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.899 for Stars Pre-School Parnwell is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.899
  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 Parnwell is based on 20 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
