Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The fact that my child asks to go even on Saturdays says it all! He absolutely loves the staff and children. The atmosphere and homely feel are second to none. They do so much with the children and make great use of the small outdoor space. It's such a calm, happy environment. I've worked in many nurseries
myself and would have loved to work in this one - it's truly special.

Such a lovely nursery. My child has such a lovely time here. Lots of dedicated staff who give time and attention to the children. I love that the children get out and go on little trips around the local area. Overall I can't recommend this nursery enough!

My children both go to this nursery and it has been the best experience I have had in settling my children. We had attended another nursery before but the care that the staff at Rising stars does not compare to any other. The love, devotion and deduction they give it incredibly. It's a homely environment
but still professional at the same time.

My little girl started in December 2023 in the baby room but now in the 2 year old room, the staff are amazing and make you feel comfortable leaving your child here as they comfort and settle them. We as parents have lovely relationships with the staff members, they listen to any questions we have about
our child's needs and offer as much advise as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been in this nursery since when she was 7 - 8 months and now she is just over 2 years old. I have seen the Nursery change and get better over time to reflect the demands and change in a way that best suits the kids and the parents. I know my daughter is looked after and cared for when
i leave her in the morning and collect her in the evening. All the staff is very friendly and always ready to help - they have gone above and beyond more than once to accommodate our requests.
There is ample communication on a daily basis through the app and a good handover chat both times. In the end, what matters most to me is that my daughter comes back home healthy and smiling.

The nursery is very welcoming and has a nice feel about it. My son settled nicely and is at ease with the staff which makes me feel happy. They are always informative about his day. I love all the different activities they do every day and how they focus on events/ seasons. The sensory room is so much
fun. When I collect my son he is always happy and I know he has had a good day!

My son started here in April this year and absolutely loves it here, his development has been amazing, especially with his speech, and he looks forward to going every week. The staff are lovely and very attentive, there is always such a wide range of stimulating activities provided. It's also great
to have the app which is updated daily with everything they have done that day. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son absolutely loves Rising Stars. It’s a great setting, always clean and organised and the staff are all lovely. It didn’t take long for him to settle in and is thriving in this setting. The daily updates about what he’s eaten, the types of nappies he’s had and what he’s done are fantastic! We
feel involved and informed 100%! The pictures are great too, showing him doing different activities. We can really see how much he’s learning and improving in both speech and aptitude. We highly recommend Rising Stars Redbourn and wouldn’t be without it. Thank you to the whole team. You’re amazing!

This is a real gem of a nursery. My 1-year old started in November 2023, a little before her first birthday and settled in almost instantly. Her development since starting has been incredible and she very happily goes in every day without any fuss. The activities are varied, look really fun and the
children all seem to engage very well with the staff. I really cannot fault the staff either - they have really put us at ease and give our daughter so much attention and fun throughout the day. Everything is immaculately clean, the menu looks great and the daily app-based updates make a real difference. Highly recommend!

My son started this setting in October 2023 and has settled in amazingly. The caring staff create a warm and stimulating environment. Our child loves the engaging activities, and we appreciate the open communication with all the members of staff as well as the use of the app. The setting itself is clean
and tidy, with a wonderful variety of toys and equipment for the children to engage in. A fantastic nursery experience! Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old started in August attending two mornings a week and has increased to four full days a week now. Since he joined the nursery, he has excelled in his speech and his ability to learn and play. The staff are friendly and helpful. The daily reports at the end of each day send reassurance, knowing
your child is learning, having healthy balanced meals, is safe and being well looked after; it certainly helps when you are at work, and you know you don't have to worry about their well-being. I would strongly recommend the nursery to others as I have seen a huge improvement in him since August.

Set in a quiet location away from the town hustle and bustle, the nursery is newly renovated with beautiful natural toys and activities with a real Montessori approach.
Absolutely incredible nursery; the staff are so lovely and tailor their approach to each child. As a new parent, I was worried about
leaving my little one in a new setting; however, the staff are amazing, very understanding, and keep you updated throughout the day, and you can tell they really do love their jobs. My little one has absolutely thrived at Rising Stars Redbourne, and would highly recommend it to others.

My 2 year old twins started the nursery beginning of September. It's been absolutely amazing. I've already seen a difference in the twins as they both were worrying me. The staff are absolutely amazing. They are so lovely the environment is amazing. My twins most of the time cry as they do not want
to leave. Thank you to the whole team, they are amazing with the children and already have made a big difference to our lives. They keep us updated daily with pictures of the children through the app which is fantastic. Thank you to all the staff. Absolutely loving the experience.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Redbourn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.944 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Redbourn is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Rising Stars Day Nursery Redbourn is based on 15 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 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.
