Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Growing Stars Nursery since she was two and a half and after only six months I can see a big difference in her behaviour. She is very enthusiastic to go to nursery every day and I was very surprised to see how much she improved her language. Growing Stars Nursery staff
is very professional, caring and dedicated as an extended family. I am really thankful for their efforts.

I cannot stress enough how good this nursery is and how lovely the staff are. My son has been attending for around 2 years now and from the first moment, we went to view he loved it. He is so excited to attend his daily sessions and has made lots of friends. The staff are lovely caring and helpful.
It can be a worry leaving your child; however, this nursery put me at ease and made me comfortable to leave my son with them. They also update via an app with pictures which is lovely and gives weekly reports on what the kids have been doing. The parent community at the nursery is also nice and friendly. I would also like to make a note of how well the nursery have operated during covid and their safety precautions etc. A great nursery for your kids to help them grow and get ready for school.

I will highly recommend this nursery! All the staff is very nice and friendly and the most important thing is that my daughter's development has highly increased since she start the nursery, and she is so exacting every morning to arrive in there and to spend the day around the other kids!

Growing Stars is a fantastic nursery. The staff are exceptional at what they do. The care and creativity they bring for each child individually is hard to find. The children learn so much, not just the EYFS curriculum, they learn about themselves, their emotions and feelings. I can't recommend them
highly enough.

Review from Nikki W (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend this nursery, it is absolutely amazing! We were apprehensive about sending our son off to nursery as he was super shy and hated being away from me, but his whole world changed when he started at Growing Stars! The nursery was recommended to me, and rightly so!
I remember his
first settle in session when he cried when I picked him up because he wanted to stay longer! He was always so enthusiastic about going to nursery. The team are so lovely and really helped to build my son's confidence and social skills to prepare him for school.
He started nursery when he was 3 and I wish we’d sent him sooner so he would have had more time there! When our 2nd son is old enough he will absolutely be going here!

Growing Stars Nursery is an amazing nursery run by the most professional, responsible and caring staff.
I went to visit 5 other nurseries before I chose Growing Stars Nursery and I instantly knew my daughter would be safe and happy there. It's bright and spacious and has a huge outdoor space.
All
the staff are exceptional and have built wonderful relationships with the children and parents, very approachable and helpful. They make the activities so interesting and fun, keeping us parents well informed about the day too.
My daughter learnt so much, she is now in reception and still asks to go back.
Honestly, the best decision I made was sending my little one to Growing Stars Nursery, I couldn't recommend it more!

Growing Stars Nursery is the best place for a child to be. Staff are amazing, they have a huge garden where children can safely play. I would give it a 5* for care, safety, cleanliness. It is peace of mind for a parent to know that their child is safe and happy at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What an amazing nursery. Growing Stars Nursery have performed miracles in helping my son go from tantrums to smiles and excitement. Inside the classrooms, the staff are incredible and encouraging of every single child. My son learnt so much through structured, tailored teaching through play and the
creativity that goes into each activity is astounding. The staff not only teach the curriculum but also how to be kind, caring, responsible human beings. My son has had some behavioural problems, triggered by his lack of understanding of his emotions and how to regulate them. The work that the team have done with him is beyond exceptional. He has always been a kind and affectionate boy, but now everyone can really see the immense change in him since he has learned to express his emotions with his words thanks to Growing Stars Nursery. Thank you so much to all the amazing staff who looked after my son so incredibly well and made his pre-school period the experience it should be – nurturing, fun, exciting, educational and happy.

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.
