  • 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.

The staff at Micky Star have been supportive to myself and my daughter and I'm more than happy to leave my child in their extremely capable hands. They support in all aspects of her development, at nursery and at home and I consider them family.


The best testament I can give is that my daughter,

after being there for almost 3 years, will not pick a favourite teacher as she thinks they are all amazing and cannot wait to go to see them every day.

The team is great and dedicated. You have daily follow-ups with them. They understand the issues working parents can have. The 8am to 6pm timings are great. The outdoor space is amazing and so rare in Central London. My 2 and a half-year-old daughter: “Mummy, I want to stay in nursery” when I come
to pick her up.

Since we visited the nursery, we knew it is the one for our son, despite it being a bit further than I would like.
We were very pleased when a place came up for him. My son started in this nursery last month. He settled-in in no time at all! He seems so happy there! They have nice big space for the
children and separate sleep area. Meals are freshly cooked onsite. The outside area is fantastic too! Absolutely no regrets at all! Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent nursery with amazing staff and who are very caring.
At first, I was not sure whether I was doing the right thing by putting her in from an early age as I felt guilty as a mother but seeing her progress in 1 year and talking non-stop with excitement makes a big difference. My daughter looks
forward to going to nursery every day and is always happy, singing and her vocabulary is so much better.

My son is growing into a strong independent, free-thinking child.
He loves the teachers very much and the teachers are very approachable for parents.
My experience of the nursery has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent nursery with caring and thoughtful teachers. We feel comfortable having my child taken care of by the childcare and would have our second child enrolled when he comes of age.

The nursery is very clean and staff are all lovely and friendly. The staff have supported my child with transitioning well between the baby room to the two-year-old room and I feel they pay close attention to the development of my child and her needs.
The manager is also a true asset to the nursery
and is always willing to give her time whenever I need it!

My daughter is extremely happy at this nursery and settled in so quickly. She can't wait to go to nursery each morning. She's always singing songs she's learnt in nursery and looks forward to weekly show and tell. She's learning letters of the alphabet and the days of the week. All the children are
friendly and well behaved. The facilities are excellent, clean, well resourced play areas and child friendly toilets. Most importantly of all the staff are very friendly and experienced and understand child behaviour. I trust them completely to care for my child and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.

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.

Hello, my name is Beverley and I've been the manager of Micky Star since 2009 and have worked for LEYF since 1995.


Our family-friendly nursery is warm and welcoming, and a real part of the local community. Parents particularly like how we celebrate current events and include the whole family. We have lovely large and spacious rooms, and a fabulous outdoor space, which includes a new covered learning area.
