Review from Aaisha A (Mother of Child) published on 3 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After viewing a few different nurseries, BLS is the one that stuck out and felt like the right fit from the start.

After my second child, I didn't need to look elsewhere for another nursery as I'd had a very positive experience with my first. The nursery provided a great foundation to independence and phonics, integrating him well for the transition of nursery into reception.

The staff are very nurturing and give a lot of care and attention which is very reassuring especially in the early stages. They support the home routine at nursery ensuring synchronicity. Daily feedback is prompt and thorough as well as regular observation posts which helps keep connected.

The management are very friendly, approachable and open to feedback and ensure parents views are heard. Very happy with my child's key worker and I couldn't be more thankful for her genuine care and attention and I'm seeing improvements in my child's adjustment every week since starting only a couple months ago.

Our son has settled beautifully into the Milky Way room, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The team are kind, attentive and genuinely supportive, making the transition to nursery feel easy and reassuring. He goes in happily each day and is clearly thriving. Highly recommend BLS Stanmore.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started in the Milky Way room at the end of September at 11 months. We have had a really positive experience since she started and Lorna the administrator was very helpful answering questions and setting up funding. The staff are fantastic with my daughter and she has transitioned into the nursery really well and is very happy to go in each day. She also has a very nice relationship with her key worker, and all the other members of staff in the room. Thank you BLS Stanmore.

Overall Experience

Bright little stars in Stanmore is a lovely nursery. The staff are all very warm and friendly and get to know the children very quickly. I'm particularly impressed by how efficient and organised the admin/ management side of the nursery is. The facilities and extra activities are also better than any nursery I've come across- would definitely recommend to future parents.

Review from Shaheeda B (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After viewing several nurseries, Bright Little Stars Stanmore instantly felt right. From day one, my daughter was comfortable and settled, which made the decision easy.

The staff are amazing - welcoming, professional, and truly wonderful with the children. I have no concerns at all when my daughter is there and feel complete peace of mind. The educational activities are varied and engaging, and the food has great variety, which I really appreciate.

What stands out most is how much parents are included. It genuinely feels like a community, with support and training opportunities to help us improve our children's development. I also love the daily diary updates, photos, and room access, which keep me connected to my daughter's day.

And the biggest sign my daughter loves it so much that on her days off she brings me her nursery rucksack Thank you to the Bright Little Stars Stanmore team - we're so grateful to be part of the family.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending the nursery for nearly 3 months, and we could not be happier with the care he has received. He has truly thrived in this environment and formed strong, meaningful relationships with several members of staff, which has been a joy to see. The team consistently demonstrates warmth, professionalism, and genuine dedication to each child's wellbeing and development. We are extremely grateful for the high standard of care provided and are delighted with our decision to choose Bright Little Stars. We would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other families.

Review from Baseer F (Father of Child) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with Bright Little Stars Nursery in Stanmore has been absolutely wonderful. Our 3-year-old has thrived in every room-from Milky Way to Orion, and now Supernova. Each transition has been smooth, and the care provided has been consistently excellent.
The staff are brilliant-engaged, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's development. Communication with parents is strong, and we always feel informed and supported. The keyworkers in particular deserve special thanks for their dedication, warmth, and personalised attention.

We're truly happy with the level of care, support, and nurturing environment the nursery provides. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for your amazing work-you make a real difference every day!

Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son loves going to nursery and when I come to pick him up he is excited to share everything he did, sometimes he is having so much fun he is not ready to go home. Everyone is very friendly and really care about providing great experiences, like forest school and trips to the library or local shop. They take the time to really get to know the children by listening to them and giving them the chance to share their life experiences with the class, which is so important and means alot. My son has so much confidence in himself due to the approach they take in teaching.

Review from Esha B (Mother of Child) published on 9 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter joined BLS nursery last June and she had a seamless settle in. She has a lovely rapport with her key worker and all other carers and enjoys going to the nursery. We receive frequent observations and development updates which is extremely helpful to know how our child is developing. She is soon going to move to Orion room and the transitioning has been quite structured with the nursery providing us a face to face meeting with the new key worker and a tour of the new room. The entire BLS team has always been very welcoming and is definitely worth a 5 star rating.

Review from Alpa V (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Stanmore BLS since last Sept and she loves the carers, other kids and the Milkyway room itself. She tells is what she played with on a nursery day, how she put her coat on/off etc.

She has a lovely rapport with her key worker and all other carers too. She gets excited at the mention of Nursery!

She is soon moving up to Orion and the team have arranged frequent visits to the room in advance so she settles easier - she seems to love the new room and I can see from the room visit that she will have a play-adventure everyday.

Also happy with the webinars and learning resources BLS offer - I just attended the potty webinar this week and on the back of that we will soon be ready to implement the tools and advice to our daughter.

We are very happy that we chose Bright Little Stars as our nursery for our daughter. It took a few weeks for our daughter to settle in but now she goes in very happy and waves us goodbye when we leave. Bright Little Stars offers a range of extra-curricular activities which our daughter loves. The staff are lovely and caring and the food is very healthy and nutritious. Communication and feedback are also great. I highly recommend Bright Little Stars.

We were recommended to Bright Little Stars by a few people and couldn't be happier with our choice of sending our twins there. We feel that they truly care and take the time to listen and try to understand your child and their individual needs. The staff are very engaging and friendly. If you are facing any challenges with your child then they will work with you to come up with a solution that works well for all. Our babies are very happy there and are developing fantastically. The meals also sound yummy!

Review from Vanessa U (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bright Little Stars Stanmore was our first choice whilst pregnant after being recommended by so many and was the best choice. We were supported right from the beginning as first-time parents, making everything so easy. Our son is quite a shy and clingy boy but the staff at Bright Little Stars are so good with him, he literally started flying out of our arms within a month, happy to be at nursery which is reassuring for us as parents. Everyone at Bright Little Stars is so friendly and supportive, they don’t miss anything. They support not just your child but your entire family, they genuinely care. They have exceeded our expectations. Our son has gone from a shy baby to a thriving toddler and it’s down to everyone at Bright Little Stars Stanmore. Thank you!

Bright Little Stars Stanmore is a perfect choice for the nursery for our daughter. She's absolutely loving it there. Always so happy to leave home, knowing she's going to be playing with her favourite teachers. Also, many, many thanks to the Chef, who found time to help my baby to settle in the first few weeks. The level of care and education is exceptional, by far has exceeded our expectations. We could not have chosen a better place for our little star! Thank you to everyone at Bright Little Stars!
