The staff at Starlings Nursery endeavour to work with parents to develop confident children who thrive and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.

Staff encourage, nurture and support children throughout their time at the nursery.

At Starlings Nursery, staff ask themselves, 'Would they want this for their own children or family members?' It’s a great question that guides practitioners and managers and ensures each child is at the centre of everything the nursery does.

Review from Hayley T (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined Starlings last year and found it hard to settle at first, but all the staff (especially one member of staff) has proved that every child will ease in slowly, and it is always possible when I had no hope.
My son brings home tons of drawings and activity papers he does daily. It is great
to see Starlings are constantly doing something new.
Everything my son has done in nursery he has raved about when coming home, and we are so pleased that we chose Starlings Nursery after trying many others previously, including well-known and high-end nurseries.
We are always greeted with a smile at the door
Communication with the staff and management is always delivered promptly, with one large room split into two and two outdoor spaces for children to enjoy is amazing. I can not thank all of the staff enough for giving my son the primary education every child should receive. If I could rate the nursery more than five stars, I would.

My daughter has been attending Starlings Nursery, and she loves it absolutely. She brings home unlimited amount of paintings and activities she has done during the day and loves to talk about it. Everyday there is a new activity or experience planned, and she seems to be really thriving from the variety.
The staff are very friendly and have great rapport with the children. All the needs of my daughter have been tendered for tremendously with patience and care. There is a significant improvement in her when I look at her now and when she started nursery. It is a positive and optimistic environment for children. She started writing her name and counting objects in a blink of an eye. She struggled with her shapes then; a personalised approach was set for her to understand them through an exciting and a fun way. She has learned them now.
If there was a choice to rate the nursery beyond five star, I would with no hesitance.

Amazing nursery. Our son settled in pretty much on the first day. He loves the staff - all of them are very caring - and has made tons of friends with the children in his group. Activities are well planned and appropriate for his age. We will def send our second there as well when the time comes.

My daughter comes home singing songs and performing dances she's learned at the nursery. She loves to count and loves to write her name. She is inquisitive about letters and numbers. This has all happened in the last year since she started at Starlings. She is happy to go there every morning and is
sad at the weekends when she cannot go. She also loves her teachers. The staff are friendly, welcoming and encouraging. The nursery communicates a great deal with parents and are always happy to accommodate any needs.

Extremely polite, kind and helpful members of staff.
My daughter loves her teachers and the atmosphere in the nursery.
Myself, as a parent, I couldn’t be any happier to know that I leave my child in safe hands.

Amazing nursery. Kids go with smiles. Absolutely everyone is smiley, happy and helpful. Seeing loads of parents bringing their second siblings to nursery after 5-years just shows how good everyone is! Love it, and keep doing what you do!

I am very happy that I chose this school. The child's interests increased. A happier baby now. Socializing and participating in activities thanks to the school. Children's happiness is more important than anything else. Being happy at school is worth everything.

This nursery worked really hard to settle my daughter in quickly when she joined in January and continues to make her feel welcome every day when she arrives. They provide a great range of activities and keep me updated regularly through informal chats and drop off and pick up and notifications on the
app. It is a great nursery, well run and with a really small family feel to it. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing environment which allows their child to feel safe, make friends, have fun and develop their learning!

Thanks for your support me and my daughter
She has started to eat food and stopped breastfeeding.
She likes to go to the nursery, and she is excited to get ready in the morning, this is a good sign that means your nursery is her second home!

Starlings Nursery is the best nursery we could ever wish for.
My daughter attended this nursery since September 2021 until now. Unfortunately, we moved out of London, otherwise, I would love my daughter to stay in this nursery.
My daughter settled very quickly because the staff are so lovely and nurturing.
We will really miss all the staff, as they are just outstanding and very professional, and our daughter flourished into a happy, confident child who really enjoyed going to nursery.
The nurturing and loving environment that Starlings Nursery provides is exactly what you want for your child.
We will miss all the staff greatly!
I would give a million stars to this nursery if I could, (not only 5).

Having worked in Early Years' settings for over 20 years, I cannot recommend Starlings highly enough. My daughter attended in 2017, and my son is currently there. He loves his friends, teachers and all the activities and proudly shows me all the work he brings home.
The staff have been so supportive
during a difficult time and ensured my son had continued love and care in their setting. His key worker has been outstanding, and I love receiving the almost daily updates on the app. My son looks forward to going each day and has learned so much. I'm sure everything he has learned is from nursery as he won't do it at home and suddenly is beginning to read and write! The communication is excellent, and nothing is too much trouble for them. We shall miss them immensely when he leaves for big school in the summer.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My daughter's teachers are very nurturing. I felt so relaxed knowing she was in great hands. One of the teachers is amazing and so sweet, you can see how much she loves the child. Another teacher is fantastic too; she is informative and
offered great advice to my daughter, who suffered from constipation. My daughter loves being love being there. I was referred by my sister-in-law, who had nothing but positive things to say. I even recommended the nursery to my friend, whose daughter now attends. The manager is very helpful too!

We absolutely love Starlings! They have been amazing at helping my little girl get settled as she is quite clingy and nervous in new social situations. The staff have been so caring and lovely. Special mention to two ladies who have looked after her so well and understood her personality and how to
encourage and challenge her. We have loved seeing our little girl develop and grow in her interests during her time at Starlings, and we also know that she is being so well looked after. Thank you!

We highly recommend Starlings; it is a fantastic nursery! The staff are so caring and friendly, and the atmosphere of the nursery is great. It is well run, all the activities are very well planned and shared with parents daily via the app, which is always lovely to see. Our son loves going to nursery,
his development has progressed significantly during his time at Starlings, and that's a credit to the staff and key workers who have all been incredible.


We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we look forward to our daughter joining Starlings soon.

Starlings Nursery is a brilliant nursery! My daughter has been attending for the past 2.5 years, and I have absolutely no doubt that it is the best place for her pre-school learning. The staff are exceptional... they are extremely caring and make the children feel loved. A special mention to my daughter's
key worker. She is extremely patient, friendly and a good teacher. As a result, my daughter has tremendously grown in confidence and is quite ready for primary school. I feel relaxed that my child is safe and secure in this environment. The nursery has a wide range of learning tools and resources. The outdoor space is also well-equipped and children enjoy playing there. Children have great learning activities, and parents are updated on their progress through the app. Cleanliness is given utmost importance here. The nursery is well-managed and has only grown from strength to strength over the past few years. Last but not the least, the nursery offers immense value for money.

A fabulous nursery! The staff are extremely caring and approachable. Our child has thrived there and made wonderful progress, and the support and care he has received are bespoke for his specific needs. The staff are proactive and keen to work in partnership with parents and nursery/home communication
has been excellent - both through the daily logs on the app to informal chats at the end of the day and also phone calls when needed. The team also work really well with outside agencies and are quick to spot any potential SEN needs of a child - with their prompt action, our child’s needs have been investigated quickly and targeted and appropriate supports have been put in place that is regularly reviewed. This is an amazing nursery, and any child would be lucky to go there - we are only sad our child will soon be leaving for primary school! Thank you so much to the manager and the team!

Starlings Nursery is amazing. My child has been going here for two years now, and I am extremely happy with his educational progress and growth.
He started when he was two years old, and the staff, especially his key teacher, made sure he settled in really quick and well. He loves going to this setting
and learns something new every session.
The team, teachers and management are all very dedicated and caring. We are always kept fully up to date with everything. I am so grateful we picked up this nursery. I highly recommend this setting.

We highly recommend Starlings Nursery. I have had 2 children attending the nursery over the last 5-years, I do not have a single complaint. The whole atmosphere of the place is a positive one, which is built by professional and friendly staff. Both my children have loved their time at the nursery, and
I believe set them on the right path for school. The nursery is well run and has a lot of facilities including outdoor space for the kids to use. All the daily activities are very well planned, and we can see that on the app with photos and videos and comments. Starlings is truly an amazing nursery with lots of wonderful and exciting learning opportunities!
We couldn't have found a better setting for our kids.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Starlings Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.970 for Starlings Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.97
  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 Starlings Nursery is based on 14 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 14 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.
