Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We absolutely love this nursery! The big garden is such a bonus - my kids spend so much time outdoors and come home happy and full of stories. All the staff are so lovely, caring, and genuinely interested in the children's well-being. They're great at keeping us updated, which really helps you feel
involved in your child's day.
After the initial settling-in period, both of my kids now love going, and it's such a relief knowing they're happy and thriving. The nursery has truly become part of our village, especially since we don't have much family nearby. We're so grateful for the warmth, support, and community they've given us.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Growing star nursery. From the very first day, the staff made our child feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. The environment is warm, welcoming, and designed to support early development.
The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly passionate
about what they do. We've seen so much growth in our child.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. It's a wonderful feeling knowing our child is in such capable and nurturing hands every day. Highly recommended .

The nursery environment is safe and well-organized. I noticed how clean everything was, and the staff took care to keep things secure for my baby.
Also, it's the most comfortable place ever my baby learnt so many words and he's just 2 years old.

Before my daughter started the nursery, I came to visit and I had a very nice feeling about it. I had visited 3 more before but this one was the only one I had a good feeling and vibe.
January 2025 she started nursery and all I can say she is very happy about it, she can't wait to go in the morning.
They are doing lots of activities, they take great care and pay attention to their needs. The staff is amazing, happy and careful all the time. The food is great and fresh every day. I am more than happy to have my daughter here, was the best choice for us.

My son has recently started the nursery and the staff have helped him settle in quickly. He is excited to go in each day and tells us stories of the fun things he has done and learnt. One of our favourite things about the nursery is the extracurricular activities that they provide such as dance and
drama and forest school. The staff are very friendly, approachable and welcoming.

Growing Stars is more than a nursery it's a second home, it's a second family. I can promise you you'll never find a nursery that cares and loves your kids the way Growing Stars staff do. My daughter has a family for life within these girls and I couldn't be more thankful. Nothing is ever too much,
the activities, the outside companies that come in to teach and "learn through play" are out of this world. Growing stars was and is the best decision I ever made for my little girl. Thank you for everything.

Outstanding setting. Having looked around a number within the area, I was so pleased to find Growing Stars. I knew from our tour that this was the place for my son and I have not been disappointed. The staff are kind and very observant, I get a full report every day about how my son has done. He settled
in straight away with no issues and loves going to 'school'. He gets loads of time with staff but loves playing with his 'friends'.

Absolutely love this nursery, my daughter attended a few years ago and left as a confident young girl after thoroughly enjoying her time there. My son now attends this nursery setting and I can't fault them with the care they provide whilst my son suffers from severe eczema and allergies. I can't express
in words my appreciation! The staff are like family. Thank you so much! Thank you to all the staff! You've all been so supportive through the very, very lows and the highs of my life right now.

As a parent, entrusting someone with the care of my children is an immense responsibility, and Growing Stars has exceeded all my expectations in every possible way. The staff at Growing Stars are incredibly dedicated, compassionate, and skilled. They have a genuine love for children and it is evident
in every interaction. Each day is filled with engaging activities that are not only fun but also highly educational.
Communication with parents is excellent. They provide personalised care and support, fostering an environment where children feel valued and respected. Growing Stars Nursery has been a second home where they feel loved and cherished. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact they have had on my children's growth and development. I highly recommend Growing Stars Nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing, stimulating, and loving environment for their children. They truly deserve their name Growing Stars. Thank you for all that you do.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Growing Stars Nursery Harrow Weald is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.950 for Growing Stars Nursery Harrow Weald is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.95
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Growing Stars Nursery Harrow Weald is based on 25 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 25 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.
