We have been delighted with Rising Stars. Our daughter is thriving at the nursery and absolutely loves it there. All of the staff are fantastic and genuinely care for the children. The activities are well-rounded and varied, keeping the children engaged. Honestly could not be happier with them.

I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. All of the staff are approachable, kind and caring. They genuinely care for the children attending and my son is very happy here. The staff have based activities around his interests and are always able to talk about the day he has had. I greatly appreciate
the daily feedback when I collect him and love seeing the photos of him on the app each evening. A great place through and through!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been with the nursery for 6 months now and we absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly, my child is very happy every day and everything is just easy. We have had issues in the past with a previous nursery but all the anxiety from that nursery has slowly gone away and Rising Stars have been
amazing.
They keep us updated in advance and handover is detailed. Everything is shown at the end of the day on an app so I know what my child is doing. Photos are provided daily with parents' evenings and term reviews too. The food is great, they don’t have an outside area attached but they do many outdoor activities including daily walks and playing in their community garden.
As my child is developing, any behaviour issues from the last nursery disappeared within weeks and I couldn’t ask for a better nursery!
Thank you all!

An absolutely amazing nursery. The staff are brilliant and always happy, friendly and welcoming. My son is doing so well there and is always happy to go in. The rooms are nice and clean with plenty of toys and things for the children to do.

Lovely staff. My child has come on so well since being here. They really bond with the children and are always so happy when greeting the children.
The meals are freshly cooked and they provide a sufficient amount of snacks during the day.
The app is amazing also as you can track your child’s progress
throughout the day and you also get photos.

My daughter moved to this nursery in March 2023 and I can not believe how settled she was so quickly! The staff go above and beyond at every opportunity. Every time I arrive at the nursery, the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. They may not have a direct garden, but they have a garden space
they use and I love the fact they go on nature walks and my daughter loves this also. I really can't recommend this nursery highly enough. Well done to you all for such a lovely nursery.

Amazing nursery, they give amazing updates each day. It’s so reassuring to see pictures of your child and what they’ve been doing. One member of staff has been absolutely amazing he’s like a big brother to my son. Communication is very quick in responding. Brilliant nursery clean and tidy, food served
is great and caters for all allergies or dietary requirements. Could not ask for a better nursery. Great job everyone.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since March and I am really happy with the progress she is making in herself. My little one was very very fussy with food and she would only want to eat the same things every day but just shy of 2 months she’s been eating all normal food which is amazing! Staff
are also lovely and I love how they take the children on walks and their activities are educational and fun, including a lot of sensory activities. Highly highly recommend and they also accept funding too which is helpful to know.

My daughter has been at Rising Stars Grove Hill for 5 months now. She seems to be thriving physically and mentally month by month and walks straight into nursery every morning without a fuss. This tells me she loves going to nursery and feels safe and happy around all the staff and the other children.
This gives me alot of confidence as I was very very nervous about leaving my baby at nursery because she had a seriously difficult start to life however, the staff have been so caring and diligent while allowing her to thrive massively. Thank you Rising Stars Grove Hill.

Absolutely love the nursery. My son started in September 2022 and he absolutely loves it, as do we. Staff are friendly and caring, there are lots of activities, and despite not having an attached garden space, they go out daily on walks or to the local community centre for outside play.

Great nursery. The staff are very caring and friendly and my son loves going to 'school'.
Communication is great and my son is thriving in the environment. Kudos to the owner and staff for creating a safe and fun place for kids to flourish their little personalities.
Even though they don't have outside
space, they make the most of the park and walks which is lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters attend Rising Stars, my 4-year-old has since November 2021 and my soon-to-be 2-year-old since March 2022. The staff are brilliant, I receive detailed updates about their day, what they've been up to and pictures. The staff put so much effort into making the setting fun for the children
too, for example, the Christmas carol concert, which I got to attend, and taking them on walks and playing in the garden. My 4-year-old looks forward to seeing her key worker and friends, she asks me each day if she's going to nursery today. Her speech has also improved a lot since attending. My youngest has also started picking up so many more words, she was quite a 'clingy' baby before nursery but now she's a lot more independent. They always come home happy!

We had some issues with a previous daycare setting and my daughter moved to Rising Stars who took us on at short notice. Since joining you can see the change in my daughter who is now excited to go to daycare and talks about her key worker in such a happy way.
The updates each day have also been fantastic
and I couldn't recommend this place more.

Review from Malak H (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience has always been, amazing at Rising Stars.
We put our son in the nursery from the moment it opened as it was local to us. My son loved it, he loves his teachers and the support he has been given is incredible. I know I can put my little one in there and he will be enjoying himself learning
and growing.
We have struggled with getting support for my little one in regard to ASD and their support and care has not gone unnoticed.
They always go the extra mile all the staff are caring and one thing I love is that the staff are one big team. I don't see changes in staff every two weeks which shows their work ethics.
Brilliant nursery filled with great support and staff and so much for children to do and learn with.

My son previously went to a different nursery and was screaming and having a meltdown about going in. At Rising Stars, he goes in with ease and is so excited to play and see his friends. The staff are very kind and informative and I've never had any issues. It is a massive weight lifted off your shoulders
when you are confident your child is being cared for and enjoying themselves when you are not with them!

My daughter has been going to Rising Stars since March and I can tell that she loves it there. She is excited to go every morning. When I pick her up she is always happy. Plus she is always clean and neat. I have recently recommended the daycare to my neighbour as I am so comfortable there. The staff
are amazing and always welcoming to talk to.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.416)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.416) out of 10 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
  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 3.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.333
  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.
