Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We found this place through a recommendation and are so glad we did! The staff are so friendly and have built up such a positive, strong relationship with my son, who when he first attended had struggled in previous settings and was lacking confidence with peers and other adults. We have seen huge changes
in him and credit this nursery with helping him feel happy and confident away from home. We love the Christmas and summer parties, there's one for the whole family each year. Recently, parents were invited in to play with their children during a session (my son is still talking about this weeks later, he loved showing us all the toys). There is also parent coffee mornings and special things for the kids such as parties and regular visits from outside groups (ft. animals, ballet, exercise). The outside space is large too. The staff absolutely make this place so special and are so creative with how they help children learn and have fun. We cannot recommend Growing Stars Nursery enough!

Growing Stars Nursery is an amazing place for my child to be. He wakes up every morning, very excited to go there. He is happy when he sees the staff and his friends which he made there. For us, the nursery has been a big help with our child's development. When he started, he wasn't very talkative but
through the months of attending, he started to open up a lot, play more with children, and understand more things. I'm happy with everything and I have been recommending the nursery to my friends.

Where to start! This nursery offers so much more than just playing and friendships. From a large garden at the back to external companies coming into the nursery doing different activities and experiences. Whether that be sports, dancing, forest school, drama or animal encounters. The staff are always
warm and welcoming, encouraging and friendly. Really happy that we chose this nursery for our son.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. On the open day, the staff were nothing but kind, helpful and reassuring. In the short space of time, my son has come on leaps and bounds and is absolutely thriving! The nursery goes above and beyond with keeping us updated and in the loop with our children's learning
and general day-to-day. My son loves being outside and they have a great outdoor space, which a lot of nurseries don't. The staff are always so friendly and always got smiles on their faces. My son runs in when he hears his key worker's voice and that to me is reassurance enough, he loves it there. I'm grateful my son got to go to this nursery.

I am extremely happy with this nursery, from the beginning I felt very comfortable leaving my son there. The nursery staff are loving, caring and very friendly management. They have themed activities every week, children learn and play. The environment is so nice, they have their own garden and everything
has been very well thought out to suit the children's needs. I have a personalised update each day detailing the timetable of my child. My little boy is very happy here and loves his teachers. Can't recommend this place enough.

My son has recently joined Growing Stars Nursery. From day one they have been absolutely amazing! My son has autism and was given a limited time to attend a previous nursery, I contacted Growing Stars and without hesitation, they accepted him. Everyone has been so amazing with him, caring and hugely
supportive of his needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a preschool or nursery for their child. Thank you to everyone there!

My son joined Growing Stars in April 2022 and he absolutely loves it. I only have good things to say about it, all carers are lovely, they do all sorts of activities with the children to instigate imagination and learning, they promote coffee events to keep the parents engaged and several events for
the children too. It's always a pleasure dropping my son there every morning and seeing him running in with a big smile on his face, to me that's the best feedback any nursery could have!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since January and I honestly cannot praise the staff enough! The environment is very clean, the staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to help you with any enquiry, the daily activities are thoughtfully planned and my daughter leaves every day very

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is truly amazing. Teachers are kind to parents and children, they take time to talk to you about your child. My child learned in this nursery how to dress, put shoes on, hold a pen, count and the alphabet. The manager is outstanding and she chooses outstanding personnel. The nursery strictly
adheres to rules and regulations. By the way, they have a garden with real grass, little garden that one of the staff plants each summer (strawberries, tomatoes) and quite a lot of corners in the garden for children to play in (little kitchen etc). The nursery hosts a farm from time to time (animals come to the garden), also supportive seminars for parents (toilet training, picky eaters etc). Great nursery!

My daughter has been attending Growing Stars Nursey for over a year now and she is so happy there – it feels like a second home to her. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative
and the admin team are so efficient.
I would highly recommend Growing Stars Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my daughter.

Our second son is now attending Growing Stars, as did our first. The staff are very friendly and caring, especially in the early days when it’s difficult to leave them but all the staff show genuine enthusiasm and care. The part I love the most is the encouragement for playing and exploring their garden.
They
have also been extremely proactive in providing feedback and also a supporting app providing pictures of our son's day at nursery and updates.
Overall a very strong recommendation from us because of all the staff and learning development.

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.
