Stars Day Nursery are a fantastic setting. All the staff are more than caring for the children. The Stay and Plays are brilliant, the app access is great, and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds. She loves nursery and seeing her come out smiling makes me happy.

The nursery is lovely. The staff are all so kind and caring. I have no concerns about my child's care. I know she'll be well looked after by everyone. Though she definitely has favourites, I appreciate the gentle and kind care she receives from everyone.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The setting is extremely well managed and a very welcoming for children and parent/carers. I also really like the change of parent collecting the children from there room which gives us time to see how they have been and to get some feed back from nursery staff about there day. Also its lovely that
the children are able to sit and have breakfast with there friends. Finally, I also like that the nursery workers are helping my son with his phonics and motor skills.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonIt is so lovely to hear your positive feedback. We love that you love the changes we have made recently, we love them too! It is such a privilege to watch your son grow and develop in Nursery and that you are so proactive in this too.

Nursery offers a wide range of activities, resources and experiences to stimulate and engage your little one. Having so many different things for your child to discover and explore, helps to develop their interests and encourages them to try new things out for themselves. Every member of staff is kind,
welcoming and caring. As a parent, you feel reassured that your child is safe and most importantly, happy!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Woodston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.820 for Stars Pre-School Woodston is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.82
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stars Pre-School Woodston is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 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.
