Review from Tasneem P (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been attending this nursery since they opened-being a fussy mum about where I place my child I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the nursery, the staff and the care they provide for my child. My son has developed incredibly since he has been attending and the facilities
are the best that I have seen compared to other nurseries; putting my mind at ease knowing that he is in the best of care. All the staff are friendly and attentive and most importantly always listen and take action on any feedback given by the parents. The facilities such as extra activities and the camera service is also a great plus and Bright Little Stars certainly is at the forefront of demonstrating cutting edge nursery care. I have recommended the nursery to many and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else in the future. Great work!

My son has been at Bright Little Stars for about 6 months now and has had a wonderful time. The staff are warm and friendly and we know he's in good hands. While we do get updates on the details of his day, it's always nice to be able to check in with him using the nursery's webcam service. Very glad
we made the choice to go with Bright Little Stars.

My son has been with Bright Little Stars full-time since May 2021.
He loves going to the nursery. The nursery is a multicultural and inclusive nursery which is reflected in their staffing and children activities.
My son is based in the Milky Way room. His room leader has been doing a great job. She
ensures that the children are exposed to different areas of EYFS through the activities that she planned for them. She also ensures that they are learning through plays and cultivates their strength.
My son's love of reading is nurtured by the existence of quiet corners and different books made available to him at the nursery. The nursery also has their own chef who makes things from scratch in the fully equipped kitchen on the premise. Another unique selling point of the nursery is the nursery cam that allows parents to check on their children remotely via indoor CCTV for a max of 15 minutes per day. This allows me to check on my son remotely when I miss him or just want to know how he is.

Review from Renata S (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Our daughter has been going to the nursery since August 2021 and loves it. She moved to Bright Little Stars from another local nursery and we couldn’t be happier with the change. The staff are caring and welcoming, the facilities are great, and they have a really good learning approach in the pre-school
room. Our daughter has been learning a lot and there’s a weekly newsletter with information for parents about what the children are learning and how we can support them. The children also spend time outdoors, which was important to us. There are regular webinars for parents on different topics, and the sessions I attended so far have been helpful and informative.

My little one has been going to Bright Little Stars Stratford since July, shortly after they opened back in May, and she couldn't be happier!
The classroom facilities are beautiful and spacious and they also have a really cool garden for sunny or rainy days. The staff is really caring and it's visible
how well taken care of the kids are.
My daughter also loves the food and is great to know they are very consistent at providing fresh, healthy balanced meals throughout the day.


Can't recommend Bright Little Stars Stratford enough!

I am pleased to write this review for Bright Little Stars - Stratford. We arrived in the UK in May 2021, and despite the challenges of a new place a new environment, my daughter settled in very well. All staff members are professional, supportive, and caring. The nursery is very new, hygienic, and spacious,
unlike other nurseries around the area. I did not hesitate to register our daughter soon after the tour and was fortunate to have her attending full-time. I truly recommend Bright Little Stars and trust that all parents will have a positive experience!

Review from Rebecca U (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Little Stars in Stratford is a very special place. We visited 4 other Nursery’s locally – then signed up as soon as we’d finished the tour! Some key things that stood out were the diversity represented amongst the staff, and the toys and books available. Also impressive is how well the staff
are looked after and the extra-curricular activities...for parents too! And nutrition is clearly very important and a passion of the chef and the manager. The garden is also beautifully designed and full of things to do.
Any anxieties we had about our lockdown baby going to Nursery were made so much better knowing he is in such excellent hands. The manager and her team are naturally kind and thoughtful – the insights they all share with us at pick up show they not only listen to us but take time to nurture relationships with the children.
We feel very lucky to be part of the Bright Little Stars Stratford family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The settling in period that lasted 3 days was exceptional. You are greeted upon arrival by a member of the senior management team with warmth and professionalism. The tour of the nursery was brilliant and thorough.
Despite the circumstances of Covid they were very flexible and accommodating in allowing
me to be in the room during the settling in phase.
Since then my child has settled in very well and I can definitely attest to Bright Little Stars Stratford being a conducive safe environment for growth, fun and learning

Review from Mira v (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one started at Bright Little Stars Stratford in May, shortly after they first opened. The staff have been extremely welcoming and professional from day one, and they have gone above and beyond to help my child settle in. The setting is stunning! As an experienced Early Years educator myself,
I could not have dreamed up a better environment for my child. The communication with parents is top-notch, and with daily observations via an app and the ability to log into the indoor CCTV to check on your child, it really does put you at ease leaving your child as you can see for yourself that they are in good hands. Bright Little Stars also offer free parent workshops and the manager at Stratford is approachable and supportive. We couldn't be happier that we choose to be part of the BLS family!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.281) out of 10 for Bright Little Stars Stratford 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.981 for Bright Little Stars Stratford is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.981
  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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Little Stars Stratford is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.6
  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.
