Review from Zirena Z (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with Bright Little Stars Stanmore. The staff in my son's room are very caring and pay close attention to children's needs. There is a wide range of extra-curriculum activities throughout the week. My son thoroughly enjoyed the activities and very quickly picked up new songs and words.
The facilities are excellent, including nurserycam which allows parents to log in anywhere and look at their children's daily activities from time to time. Thanks to Bright Little Stars Stanmore, I can go to work every day feeling assured that my son will be well taken care of.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having looked around at other nurseries, we found this nursery stood out for us as it was bright, airy, colourful, spacious and inviting. There are some neat little touches too, a webcam, a portal to check regular updates with photos of your child’s progress, which are also emailed.


The staff are

nice and friendly. They also provide extracurricular activities for children eg, parties, heuristic play, French classes, sports and music. They have local days out and an in-house chef.

BLS Stanmore (Bright Little Stars) is a very good nursery. After looking at a few nurseries we decided to go ahead with BLS for my daughter.The staff here are very friendly, and it is very clean and organised, as well as they have an in-house cook, so I'm happy that my daughter gets fresh meals every
day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outstanding - My son has come on leaps and bounds in terms of speech, sentences, understanding of the alphabet. I feel confident that he will be in great stead when joining primary education in Sept.


Staff at BLS Stanmore (Bright Little Stars) - Considerate, energetic, enthusiastic with a positive

can-do attitude with results shown in the children’s exterior.


Excellent on-site chef - Variety with snack plentiful.


Cannot praise BLS enough.


Thank you.

After doing a lot of research and visiting nurseries I found Bright Little Stars a very accommodating nursery. The facilities are very good and cater for all ages up to preschool. The staff are very helpful and always available to answer your questions. The nursery is well managed and kept very clean.
My son enjoys going to nursery and comes home with a big smile on his face. I couldn't fault anything about Bright Little Stars.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Bright Little Stars Stanmore 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.873 for Bright Little Stars Stanmore is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.873
  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 4.769 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Little Stars Stanmore is based on 12 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.769
  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.
