The setting has been incredibly flexible and accommodating, with extra hours at late notice, which is greatly appreciated. This month we have been kept up to date really well with comms on staff changed. It makes you feel well-connected. It has been a great month at Stars Woodston.

The team strive to make parents a big part of their child's journey at Preschool, as we believe it is so important for you to be as involved as possible.

Since our son has been attending Stars Woodston, he has come on so much! He is an ASD person, and the way the setting and the staff have been for him is amazing. He loves coming to the setting every day, and as a parent, seeing your child happy and settled is the best thing.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonThank you so much for your kind words and recognition of how hard the team work; they all do it as they are so passionate about providing the best level of care and education for every child in our care.

Star Day Nursery is a wonderful place for little ones. The staff here are very cooperative and understanding. They take care of the kids nicely. My son found it quite difficult to adjust initially, but they helped him settle well. Each child is given individual attention and is loved and cared for.
I would like to thank the staff for all the efforts they put in to make our kids happy.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonThank you so much for your kind and supportive words towards the whole team, we truly appreciate it.
We are so happy that your son has settled in well and he continues to learn lots and build good bonds with the team and the children. Having great relationships with our parents is so important to the development of all of our children so thank you for working with us.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My kid joined the institution in late September, being the first school she joined since birth. Her attitude towards school is great and always in need to attend school even on a weekend. This is brought about by a team of dedicated teachers, supportive and with good communication to me as a parent
and all this is observed in the kid's behaviour too. Teachers are always available and on time while dropping and picking the kid up. This is so encouraging and I may wish to congratulate the entire team of Stars Pre School Woodston to continue with the good work they are offering to my kids - kudos.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonThank you so much for your lovely feedback. It is so important to us that we have positive bonds with our parents so as together we can support your child's development so thank you for working with us to ensure this happens. We are so happy that she enjoys Preschool, and we look forward to her learning and progressing more with us.

I have no regrets about having chosen this pre-school nursery for my son. The staff are all amazing, they greet you with a smile and gave me lots of assurance, support and care when my son was struggling to settle in, because of this amazing team my son looks forward to going/coming to nursery. Have
seen different activities on the board outside for kids to engage with daily. Also, lots of different toys for the kids to play with.
Personally, I want to use this opportunity to thank each and everyone for the excellent job, care, support and love you show to our children.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonThank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to all of us to hear how positively you speak of the whole team and the setting.
We love how well your son has settled in and that they enjoy the activities and challenges set out by the ladies every day. It is a pleasure to watch your son grow and develop so well at Preschool and we look forward to continuing to support their development.

The staff are very friendly and always happy to answer questions.

The staff are friendly and professional. There are a lot of activities, and kids can choose what they prefer. My child learns a lot every day. Parents are included (events to come and play in pre-school) and well informed (giving feedback about the child's day in person, parent consultation days, and
all important information in parent's board, e-mail, Facebook and the app).
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonThank you so much for your lovely words. We value our bonds with our parents and strive to provide the best care and learning opportunities for all of our little ones; thank you.

My daughter has made lovely bonds with the practitioners at Stars nursery and regularly talks about them at home. She loves to be busy, and there is always something to do and bring home! The great scheme of developing children's pre-school skills before school is also apparent when she comes home with
lots of new information and skills. I would recommend Stars Pre-School to anyone who wants a friendly environment for their child.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonSo lovely to hear. Thank you so much for your kinds words. We love having your daughter with us, and she loves the time she has with us too, learning new skills and always talking about her activities inside and outside of Preschool to us and her friends.
Thank you so much for your recommendation too.

My son looks forward to going to school and is always full of smiles when I pick him up. I think the staff are exemplary in teaching and keeping the children excited about learning. I love picking my son up and hearing about his day or any new songs as he likes to sing and play with his little sister.
I have seen a great change in my son after sending him full time getting ready for receptions. I am grateful to his teachers.
Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School WoodstonWe are so happy that your son enjoys his time with us.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
We have seen a great amount of progress in him too, and he loves his time with us. He is such a caring and loving little boy and a delight to have as part of our Woodston family.

I can't praise the staff and management at Stars Pre-School Woodston enough especially during Covid-19. All possible cases were dealt with efficiently and I was notified straight away. Since my son started almost 2 years ago, I have always felt at ease and reassured that my son was looked after as their
own. My son goes into nursery now so much more confident and rarely goes in sad or upset due to leaving me. He goes to 'big school' in September, thank you all for an amazing experience and first stepping stone in his learning and school life. We will miss you all.

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.
