Such a beautiful nursery with lots of outdoor space!
They are welcoming and friendly staff. Such an organised nursery. My little boy has been thriving and progressed so much in his development.
The care and development of my little boy is brilliant. "I always feel 100% confident they will be well
looked after." "They do a variety of activities and my little is always excited and wants to attend nursery even on weekends."

Growing Stars - The name says it all.
I got my daughter in Growing Stars in September 2023. Before attending the nursery she was very hesitant to new people. I can see a huge difference in her after her journey in Growing Stars.
She is now ready to reach new people, starting to learn new things. I
can very well say that Growing Stars is now playing a vital role in her growth. Mainly the staff members, they all bend down as kids and get the kids engaged and enjoying. Thanks to the entire team.

My son started in September with Growing Stars Nursery and I can say that I have seen a big change in his behaviour and his knowledge, he started to be more confident in himself. I am very happy with his development at this nursery. All the girls from Growing Stars Nursery are very nice and friendly
with parents and our kids as well. They have many activities for kids. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and progress my daughter has made at this nursery. My daughter has faced speech delays, and the nurturing environment at this nursery has played an instrumental role in her development. The dedicated staff have gone above and beyond to tailor
activities and communication strategies that suit her needs. The patience and encouragement provided have not only helped her overcome barriers but also boosted her confidence in expressing herself. The progress she’s shown in her speech is remarkable, and it’s evident that the nursery’s efforts have had a lasting positive impact. I highly commend the team for their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to each child’s unique journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Growing Stars Nursery are fabulous! I currently have two children attending, so I have had experience with both the toddler and pre school groups.
The staff are all amazing! They are great with my kids, who can be a handful at the best of times. They are helpful and have really helped my kids grow,
learn and develop.
They really show they care about the kids and have such great activities for them to do and be involved with and having the big outdoor area is fabulous for my kids who live to play outside.
I really can’t speak highly enough of Growing Stars Nursery and the wonderful staff there.

I moved my daughter here from another nursery and it was the best decision I've made in my life. My daughter stopped screaming and crying when she has to go to nursery (in the previous nursery we had a big problem). The nursery organizes many attractions for children (farm animals, meeting with firefighters,
family picnics and many others). My daughter hugs key persons which proves how much she trusts them. My daughter has made great progress in counting, using the toilet, dressing, good behaviour and many others. Thank you for your hard work.

My child has built so much confidence since joining the nursery he now runs in as soon as he sees the doors open. All staff are so happy and welcoming at drop off and pick up time. I love that they use makaton within the nursery.

This nursery is wonderful for my son, he likes it very much. The staff is very friendly and very well trained and they maintain a very good communication with the parents, the children have a lot of extra activities in which the parents also take part. I couldn't have made a better choice.

The staff have gone above and beyond for my son, I have always felt that he was safe when he wasn’t with me which is a huge thing for any parent! The staff are welcoming and take time to get to know each of the children which especially helps with my son as he tends to prefer adult interaction.

Growing Stars Nursery has really made my child feel so settled and happy. They are really kind and caring and really made me assured that my concerns are addressed. They are always greeting parents and children with smiles on their faces and you can really tell the whole team really work together to
make sure all the kids are well cared for. My child in particular has improved so much in his development and I cannot thank this nursery enough for helping him grow and enjoy learning new things.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After reading glowing reviews we felt it was the best nursery for our son, and they were right. We have been attending for 6 months now. The staff are amazing, well trained, friendly and caring. The garden is huge, plenty of space to explore and play. The range of activities provided is excellent, from
discovering animals to exercising and learning about health, to creating various artworks, alongside the play kitchen, sand and water play stations, dress up corner and more. We are very pleased with our sons progress, for which we receive regular updates, and most importantly he has settled well and is happy at his nursery.

My daughter started here with Growing Stars Nursery in January 2023 and has loved it from the start. She settled in pretty much straight away thanks to the amazing team at Growing Stars Nursery. There are constant updates regarding my daughter's progress through the parents' app which is great to get
and see the activities, games and learning she does each day she is at nursery. I am also advised about these activities when I pick my daughter up each day after nursery from the staff. It is a really lovely environment for the children and would highly recommend to any parent looking for a future nursery.

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.
