I looked for a nursery for my little one since she was one year old but I didn't like any so far. Then I went for a visit to Growing Stars Nursery, straight away felt positive vibes and the whole team are welcoming. When my little one started nursery, she didn't speak much apart from a few words and
in six months she now talks non-stop. She knows her 1 to 20 and has lots of creative and motor skills too. Highly recommended to every parent looking for a friendly and supportive nursery.

My daughter recently started Growing Stars Kindergarten, and I can't tell you how grateful I am to come across this kindergarten. She started breeding at Growing Stars at the age of 2, and she enjoyed it from day one. She didn't even blink when she came in on the first day. The staff is so friendly
and she immediately felt it. The care and attention they paid to my daughter made Growing Stars her second home.

Growing Stars is an excellent nursery, my son has settled in really well since he joined and is very happy. The staff are wonderful, caring and really look after the children. They work in small groups which is nice as they are able to concentrate on the children’s needs better. They encourage play
and learning through various different activities they do throughout the day. My son has gone from being shy to really confident around his teachers and friends. Staff provide lots of feedback on what the children have been learning and give daily feedback at the end of the session. I would highly recommend Growing Stars Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started going to Growing Stars when she was two, she adapted very quickly, mainly because of the warm and care of all the staff. They are top professionals in terms of child care, the way they speak to the children, the way they have different activities and themes every day, it is amazing.
There is a lot of effort and thought put into the planning and management of the nursery, and I really like that. They have sessions with the parents to talk about different topics, like potty training or how to manage tantrums. My daughter loves her nursery, she has developed a lot since she started, in terms of language and expression herself but also to be independent, putting her shoes on by herself etc. Also, this nursery has a huge garden area, which is great because they carry out a lot of outdoor activities that relate to nature. I would definitely recommend Growing Stars. For me, it is the best nursery in the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Growing Stars Nursery since September 2020, going from nursery to pre-school room and every day since day one she has come home so happy, excited and talking positively about her day with her peers and teachers.
They have helped our daughter to grow in so many ways
and I am forever grateful for that, they have really helped her to build confidence in being social, which is something she struggled with but now, she has made so many friends being here.
This nursery offers something that is rare to find, a community, it has such a homely comforting energy and all the staff seem genuinely happy when they speak to all of us parents and each other. As someone that worked in nurseries for years, I completely understand how much it requires mentally and physically so I have nothing but respect for all of the staff.
Looking back this was the first nursery we looked at and we went on to see many more but something brought us back and now we know why.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I don’t have words to describe how excellent this nursery is. My son has been here 2 years now, he has SEN and he is progressing really well. The teachers are amazing and they have an excellent knowledge on what they are doing, he’s progressively getting better and better. They make us feel like a family
which is very much appreciated. The facilities are excellent, very convenient and spotlessly clean. I’d definitely recommend this outstanding nursery to friends and family, it was and still stands a very good choice for my son. Also, I would like to say thank you to all the staff for the support that they gave us due to unfortunate circumstances that occurred in my family, it’s beyond appreciated.

I would highly recommend Growing Stars Nursery. I have had two children attend this wonderful nursery and one is still attending. The management and team at Growing Stars go above and beyond to look after the children. The staff are very approachable and very helpful with any issues you have regarding
anything! The nursery itself is very clean and to a very high standard. The safety of the children is paramount and not to mention the added bonus of a massive garden where the children can do numerous activities and blow off some steam. Also, they have an app where your updated weekly with pictures and are updated with what your child has been doing throughout the week and how there. If you want peace of mind knowing your child is cared for, this is the nursery you should choose! Thank you to all the staff and management at Growing Stars Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Going back to work and finding the right nursery is such a difficult decision. My son has been at Growing Stars since he was 2, he turns 5 in September and I feel like it was the best decision I have made for him. He was a shy boy who barely said a word and now he’s a confident little chatterbox. I
wanted a nursery that was like another little family and that’s what he has - he knows all the staff members and know him through and through. He’s learnt so much and is so prepared for school - they have helped him through some really tough transitions. I will miss the team so much in September when he starts school but know he’s had the best start to education through fun and nurture.

My son joined when he was 2 years. I found Growing Star Nursery far better than any nurseries around. It is huge and bright. The biggest plus point I think is the super friendly staff who are so helpful, hands on and moreover so approachable. My son was so well looked after and settled in so quickly.
I would definitely recommend Growing Stars Nursery to my friends and family without any second thoughts as I know the children are so well looked. A big thank you to the staff.

We love Growing Stars nursery, our son has been here for almost a year now and looks forward to going in every day.
The staff and facilities at the nursery are amazing, my son loves to talk about his friends and all the fun they have. He has learnt so much, every day he says something new. He's also
a very happy confident caring little boy.
My son has a number of allergies as well as asthma and eczema, so I was a little worried when we were looking at nurseries. The staff talked through their policies and put our minds at rest.
I highly recommend Growing Stars to anyone looking for childcare for their little one. This is a wonderful nursery.

Very happy with the nursery and the staff. My daughter goes 4 days a week and she has lots of different activities every day, she is very happy. I decided to put her because my eldest son was here as well and I knew that there is no better choice for my daughter.
Lovely nursery, lovely staff, highly
recommend.

My son started in January after having to move to his third preschool due to circumstances. The staff have been so helpful, friendly and accommodating. They have been amazing with my son and he looks forward to seeing his friends and teachers every day. He looks forward to finishing the weekend to come
in. One member of staff especially has been very discreet and helpful in all personal aspects of our situation. I am truly grateful and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. My only issues was no space for just fifteen free hours.

I have a two year old girl attending the nursery and it is divine. An absolute heavenly place with kind, patient and attentive teachers, a wonderful array of activities, peaceful, happy, inspiring vibe and a real community. My daughter has simply blossomed at Growing Stars Nursery and is extremely happy
as are we as the parents. I could not recommend it more! Well done to the Growing Stars Nursery team, you really have created something special.

I would highly recommend this nursery. Both my little people went here. My son had previously been to another nursery but had SEN issues. Both myself, my husband and my son came to look at this gem of a nursery and never looked back! Not only did our son survive nursery years he thrived and left a very
happy confident little boy. My little lady also had the most amazing learning journey. She left a very confident bright little star. The nursery is one big family. I have kept in touch with some of the mums from when my children went there and honestly can't thank them enough for all their efforts with my little people. They really do go above and beyond to make every day special.

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.
