I have both my children attending Bright Little Stars Watford from the age of 11 months and now my eldest is 4.5 and youngest 2.5 and I can’t sing enough praises. Honestly, the team are incredible, my children have learnt so much and with my eldest getting ready for school in September I have no doubt that Bright Little Stars has given him the best foundation to build off. I would recommend them to anyone.
As he has continued and moved into the Orion room, support from the staff in his new room has also been great. He is always excited to tell us all the new things he’s done and learnt at nursery.
My son has attended Bright Little Stars since he was ten months old, and he has thrived. All the staff in the Milky Way room have supported him so well, and he has absolutely loved it. Making the transition from part-time to full-time was the best decision we made for our son. Since he has been attending the setting full-time, he has grown in confidence, and we have been able to witness the development of his personality. I would also like to add that the staff at Bright Little Stars make every effort to know each child well, which really makes a difference. Our son's key worker has made every effort to ensure that she caters to all of our son's requirements to provide him with the optimum experience and has really made every effort to recreate the routines we have at home for him in the nursery. He once shied away from going to nursery, but it has become one of his most loved places, which is incredibly reassuring as a parent.
The staff are tremendous - in each room (Milkyway, Orion and Supernova). They are such fun, and have boundless energy - and they provide such an amazing range of activities for the children. Thank you, Bright Little Stars; you really are amazing, and we are so grateful for all you do!
My daughter has attended Bright Little Stars Day Nursery since she was 10 months old and has thrived and settled in so well with the wonderful staff who are kind, loving and so much fun. My older son attended this nursery also from the age of 10 months to 3 years and when it was time to choose somewhere for my daughter to go whilst I was at work there wasn't a doubt in my mind this was the place I would be sending her. The staff treat every child so special. They have so many activities and so many different theme days that every day is different and fun on its own accord. The food they offer is great and varied and at the end of each day at pick up, you not only get a diary of their day but the staff talk to you about how your child was during the day, what they have done, what they enjoyed. This place is very special to us and I could not recommend it more!
They really helped us with potty training, continue to encourage her using Chinese language.
Our daughter has a lot of allergies and under the care of the staff, we have always felt she is in a really safe environment as everyone knows what she can and can't have.
When we were expecting our second child, the team at nursery helped us with tips on how to talk to her about her new sibling and during nursery time, they spoke a lot to her about new baby coming and allowing her time to role play having a brother.
This really helped as she was so excited when he arrived.
We have already enrolled our little boy to attend the nursery as we have seen the support and development they have given to our daughter have.
Our son has special dietary requirements, so we were thrilled to hear that they were able to meet his needs as this was one less thing for us to worry about.
We enjoy getting updates of him engaging in several different activities via the app, as well as accessing the nursery camera to see what he is up to. We also appreciate the various parent workshops the nursery offers.
We continue to recommend the nursery to our friends and family!
I am thrilled to hear that you feel part of the Bright Little Stars family! We believe that our staff, children and parents are our most important priority! Staff training is reviewed regularly to enhance their skills and provide the best care possible! All our managers have an open-door policy for all!
My daughter is 4 years old now and soon to leave Bright Little Stars to attend primary school. I highly recommend the nursery for so many different reasons, my daughter not only gained great independence but she has also thrived participating in the many opportunities Bright Little Stars have given her from learning Spanish, phonics, and sports to name a few. My daughter always loves going into nursery, the staff are always so friendly and welcoming, I really like the fact that all staff get to know the children by name and it feels very family orientated, you can tell it’s more than just a job to the staff, they genuinely care for the children. My second daughter is also at the nursery and I’m so glad she will follow in the same footsteps as my eldest daughter. Thank you Bright Little Stars Watford!
My son has been attending this nursery part time since May 2022 and I cannot fault the nursery and staff one bit! My son has been so happy attending the nursery and absolutely adores the staff there. The standard of care is beyond excellent! They monitor and are mindful of every little thing and staff do not hesitate to contact the parent if they have any questions or concerns. They not only provide such an amazing service for the children but also provide evening workshops and training for the parents in first aid, potty training etc. It is THE BEST nursery and I cannot wait for my son to attend there full time.
Our daughter has attended Bright Little Stars, Watford for almost a year now (time has flown). During her time she has gained her confidence, learnt to walk, talk, eat just about everything and developed a good social peer group of nursery friends. She is happy when dropped off and sad to leave in the afternoons, which is testament to the nursery staff and environment. The location is easy to get to and the staff really go out of their way to provide you with updates on their daily progress, via photos and app updates of their developmental progress versus the curriculum. We have recommended the nursery to many friends. During the pandemic, it was great to see extra steps taken to ensure child, staff and parent safety and this provided us with a level of comfort, that our child was in a safe and secure environment. Thank you to the Bright Little Stars team for their help so far and we look forward to the next few years of nursery.
My daughter started nursery in November and although she had a really hard start, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and understanding and always going the extra mile to make my little one feel welcomed and comfortable. All the activities they do, the way they interact with the children, the feedback they give you on a daily basis regarding your child’s day, it’s just amazing! It was the best decision to bring my little one here and we are so grateful for them having us!
Bright is probably the best adjective to describe this nursery… not only is the ambiance positive and modern, but the food is also nutritional, the support for our boy goes beyond normal and we love that. The fact they provide extracurricular activities as standard removes any concerns about the fact they care about my child
My son has been in the setting since he was 9 months old, he is now 3 and thriving because of this place! He loves going so much that he gets upset on days that he doesn’t go in. He has always loved the extracurricular activities and the random themed days that they do. Dressing up for certain occasions etc. We have both made so many friends there, parents, children and all the staff are so lovely. Some of the staff there have now been there for 5 years! I highly recommend it to all new parents looking for a nursery, being able to log into the camera helped me so much because I could see that he was fine throughout the day!
My son started Bright Little Stars at 9 months old and I can see he is thriving in their care. I love receiving photos of his day and seeing how going to nursery has made such a positive impact on his development. He happily goes into the nursery, putting his hands out to his carers. He eats and sleeps well at nursery and I know he has truly settled in so well, with the help of this key person and other nursery staff. The nursery has excellent facilities and incredible resources. My son really enjoys the messy play activities as well as the special events such as sports days and dress-up days. He also loves his outdoor area where he is given the opportunity to climb safely on the equipment. The nursery has been amazing providing two types of food for him at meals, mushy for his nutrition (so he actually eats) and normal food to practise the next stage of weaning. The nursery staff are always welcoming, happy to help and reassuring, which is greatly appreciated as a first-time mum.
To describe Bright Little Stars Watford in 1 word = faultless! All the staff are absolutely incredible, they always go above and beyond to make sure my son's needs are met. He has been attending the nursery for 18 months now since he was 1 yrs old and he just loves it. He has developed in ways I couldn't imagine, his confidence, his speech, everything. The team are constantly finding ways to improve, no wonder they achieved Ofsted Outstanding! Big shout out to the most attentive key person's my son could ever have. Thank you thank you thank you!!
I have always been a parent who is quite strict on routine and diet for my children and Bright Little Stars have always made me feel completely at ease when it comes to this. I always feel like my child is getting the best care, and is treated like an individual rather than a number. Any worries or concerns I have or new routines are well communicated throughout the team and I feel like as a result Nursery has become a home from home environment for my children which provides me with so much reassurance that they are completely happy.
Since my son has been at Bright Little Stars he has loved going in and has thrived and grown so much. He has developed massively in all areas and it is all thanks to the hard work of the Staff at Bright Little Stars Watford. Thank you
My son has been at Bright Little Stars since he was 1. We have seen him progress and develop wonderfully over the last few years. The staff are helpful and understanding and he loves attending nursery. The extracurricular activities are brilliant and the food menu is very varied. He really enjoys the outdoor play area and we feel very confident each morning knowing we are leaving him in a safe and caring environment. It’s also very comforting to know that we can log into the classroom camera and see our son happily getting on with his day.
Great nursery and very helpful staff, especially during the Covid period very supportive and they keep you well informed. Both of my children attend and they love it. The only fault is I wish they had more parking spaces.
He enjoys his time there, learns so much while having fun, and I’ve always felt at ease leaving him there.
All the staff are exceptional, the facilities are great, and I especially love the variety of food on the menu for the children. The extra classes they have are fantastic too.
This year has been a tough one with Covid, but I’ve been very happy with the steps they have put in to be Covid secure and how they have helped the children adapt to such a strange time and helped the parents feel comfortable with sending their babies into nursery still.
