  • Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School, London
Rated Good by Ofsted (June 2017), Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

The Nursery is just off the Edgware Road, close to the tube. It's a large purpose-built setting with two gardens, one for toddlers and pre-schoolers and one for babies.

The experienced staff have set up the Nursery as a free-flowing educational space. Every day is different! The children enjoy gardening and getting messy in the mud kitchen, rounders, yoga, science experiments like ‘Sink or Float’, dialogic reading, and more.

A dedicated chef prepares all meals and snacks using recipes from LEYF’s nutritious menu.

Very good nursery with caring and lovely staff. My son has been there for nearly 2 years and generally quite happy. The outdoor space is another key highlight for kids to run around.
I also like the fact that they respect different culture and embrace British value. Everyday my son ends the day with
a very happy face.

Our child is very happy and enjoys her days at nursery. All the staff are very kind and take great interest in her.
They are very proactive in providing feedback and updates on how she's progressing.

Excellent outside space and equipment both inside and outside for the toddlers. Workers are very caring and my children like going to nursery every day. Also very much appreciate the healthy and varied menu, which both kids enjoy.

We are so happy with the experience at Micky Star! We have had our son in their care since he was young. The staff are all wonderful, and they have such a positive way of engaging with the children. Our son really feels at home there and we know he is in great hands.

I couldn't be happier with my two girls' nursery! The staff are absolutely fantastic, especially the nursery manager and room leaders, who are always approachable and ensure everything runs smoothly. Both the baby room and toddler room offer wonderful activities that have really helped my children develop
their skills, creativity, speech, and play. Every day, they come home excited about what they've done and learned!
The only small improvement I'd suggest is making sure the food menu is followed more consistently. Other than that, it's a brilliant nursery, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and engaging environment for their little ones!

Caring and dedicated staff, excellent meals and learning activities in the baby room. Teacher to baby ratio is great and they all know the babies so well as a result and are able to provide personalised attention. The faculties are also very well kept, always neat and cleaner and safe.

Micky star is the best nursery for both my baby and me. He does so many activities during the day, has so much fun with his friends and teachers. I couldn't have found a better nursery. He absolutely loves it there and so happy when I drop him off in the morning!

Excellent nursery. Large spaces, very nice outdoor garden. Lots of trips, lots of fun, very nice and caring staff in the baby and toddler room. Our daughter is enjoying her time there. The staff was supportive when she was struggling to settled in at the beginning.

My daughter has been going to Micky Star for a year and has just started full time. I'm very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend. The teachers are wonderful and prepare great stimulating activities for the children. Also, the outdoor space is quite sizable for central London.

A brilliant nursery. The staff in the baby room are incredibly kind - just the best - and helped our daughter settle in, reassuring us all and providing lots of feedback. They do so many great activities (music, craft, books, yoga!) and are outside twice every day which she loves. The baby room has
lots of resources, plus a separate sleep room which is great. The big outside space is the best we saw of all the nurseries around. We get lots of updates on the app, a check in with her key worker each term, and lots of chance to come in and be part of what's going on through parties, concerts etc. Our daughter has learnt so much (her speech is coming on every day!) and is clearly really happy and brilliantly looked after. We would 100% recommend.

Nursery is really good, and it has a great equipped garden and playground. Staff are great and children look happy. We are so pleased with the rapport our son has built with the many staff at Mickey. He came to the country, didn't speak English and was very shy; but with the connections he has built,
he has grown in confidence and really been able to show his personality.

Our daughter has been going to Micky Star Nursery for a year and she loves it! She attends the baby room, where the play area is large and there is an independent sleep room and eating area (which isn't always the case in London) - and we love the big garden too! The staff is very kind and welcoming;
the management is very passionate and dedicated. One down side is that I feel there has some turnaround in the staff lately (which could be a concern) but it doesn't seem to have affected our little one who is always very happy to go! In any case, we highly recommend this nursery.

The nursery has amazing facilities, with a garden that they make great use of. The children are well cared for and happy and definitely enjoy the food! There has been some staff turnover whilst we were there, which management was good at keeping us up to date and the new staff is always good. I would
definitely recommend it!

Our daughter has been going to the nursery now for over one and a half years and she is absolutely loving it. Especially the garden is a plus for London and we value the various crafts they do with the children. One improvement would be the variety of food as it's very repetitive and carb-heavy.

Lovely nursery with beautiful outside garden where children spend a lot of time. Welcoming and accommodating staff. In-house cook catering to specific nutrition needs. The classrooms are big and equipped with many different activities and toys. The baby room also has a dedicated room for sleeping. Opening
times are working parent-friendly. Our baby has thrived there and we heartily recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.718)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.718) out of 10 for Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.718 for Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.718

  • b) 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 Micky Star Nursery & Pre-School is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
