I have no faults about my experience with the nursery. My daughter has settled in so well and is above and beyond her milestones. They have helped her confidence grow so much, and they reassure me as a parent with any questions or issues I have. The staff are friendly, lovely and just altogether amazing
kiddies.

I am happy with this nursery. As we are going only second week, I don't know a lot of things yet. Anyway, I'm really happy about this nursery app as I can see how my child is spending his time. Also, my son told me that he likes it there, which is most important to me.

My daughter has been attending Stars for two months, and the staff are friendly and approachable. My daughter has settled in well and seems to enjoy it. I am pleased overall with the care and attention she receives. She has a key worker, and that has helped encourage her in the setting. Staff seem to
care for children and have a good relationship with them. I would be happy to recommend the nursery to others.

Thank you, Meriel, she is a delight. A very warm and caring little girl. We are glad you are happy with how she has settled.

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.
