All the staff at Happy Stars have been so supportive and professional, providing outstanding care for our child. I feel confident our child is not only enjoying their time at the nursery but learning key skills to help in their development. Happy Stars is such a happy place for the child and parents!

My son has attended Happy Stars since he was 1-year-old and I have been amazed by all the staff who work hard to create a wonderful and caring environment there. The staff are always so friendly, kind and show a real interest in the growth and development of all children. I am always surprised by the
range of creative and educational activities that my son experiences at Happy Stars. My son loves attending this nursery and comes home in the evening happily telling me about what he did that day with his friends and his teachers. Happy Stars is a great nursery and I send him there knowing that he will be safe and well cared for. I highly recommend Happy Stars!

My daughter has had a lovely time at Happy Stars. The staff are very caring and she settled in well. It is great to see pictures of what she gets up to during the day. It has been so nice to have carers who genuinely care about the development and wellbeing of my child. The staff have been proactive
in their care (such as asking if they should apply any creams for dry skin rather than waiting on the parent to ask) and have been supportive through childhood transitions such as welcoming a new family member. We are delighted with the nursery.

We’ve had our two daughters (entry ages 1 and 2) in this nursery. Both are extremely happy there and can’t wait to go there every morning. Teachers are lovely and the kids/parents all lovely. Nice and positive vibe about the place. Lovely management and investment in place to keep progressing and improving
all the time. Staff has been there for a long time too so they’re a lovely team. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Both kids are loving going to nursery, they are both talking about their friends and teachers on their return and when they are not there. Couldn't have wished for a better place for my kids to develop their personalities, learning about all the curiosities in the world and important values in life.
The teachers are the most wonderful people who dearly care for all the children. I can only say thank you to the entire team for looking after and caring for our two little ones.

Reply from Joan Byas, Manager at Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for this amazing review - it such a pleasure to have both little ones at Happy Stars and to watch their development. We love watching them when they see each other throughout the day and how they give each other cuddles.

Happy Stars is an amazing nursery.
My son has been attending for the last 8 months and since the first day he's always been very happy to go, he even talks about nursery at home. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive with his development and we can notice improvements in his vocabulary
and skills on a regular basis.
We receive feedback every day and also have regular 1:1 meetings with the key teacher, which gives us the opportunity to have a consistent approach when it comes to challenges. We are so glad our son goes to this nursery, especially in this challenging time, Happy Stars has been a wonderful place for him to interact with peers and teachers and get the right stimuli and encouragement to develop.
The manager and staff are always very approachable and welcoming, which has made it so easy for him to settle in and get comfortable within the nursery environment. Thank you Happy Stars!

Our son's not been going for long but the staff have all been wonderful with settling him in and reassuring us. Which has been particularly kind considering he was born during the first lockdown and hasn’t been to any kids groups etc so this was a completely new environment for him, and likely quite
a shock.

Reply from Ms Joan, Manager/ Owner at Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for this lovely review, even though it's only been a short time since he been in our care, he is doing amazing in his new environment.

The staff are warm, loving and caring towards him, as well as being highly trained and professional in their roles. The manager is highly efficient

My husband and I are delighted with the level of care and attention our son receives at Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd. He has settled in very quickly and I had no qualms leaving him in the capable hands of his key worker/ nursery staff. The atmosphere in the nursery is wonderful - My son rarely wants
to go home at the end of the day as he is having so much fun! There is an excellent partnership between nursery and home and I've been impressed with the constant variety of activities on offer. Highly recommended.

This is a small nursery with excellent staff, truly affectionate and warm towards kids. My son loves it there and is happy to go there every morning. There is a lot of activities happening such as field trips, theme weeks (e.g. nursery rhythm week) outings. Food is prepared freshly on a daily basis
and the nursery can accommodate children with various food intolerances. Good atmosphere and feedback for parents. I would recommend it highly to other parents.

My son is my second child at Happy Stars, I could not have thought of a better nursery to send him to. The staff are friendly, approachable and always try and help or provide any information that we may need. When my daughter graduated in July we were in tears because of the amount of love she had received
and she had developed tremendously. The nursery always encourages parents involvement and their breakfast mornings are a great oportunity to see children in their environment and spend time with them. The nursery is also excellent in listening to feedback on behaviour and activities that are happening at home and following through while there at the nursery.

Happy Stars Day Nursery is a wonderful place. Both of my children love this nursery.
Staff are friendly and very enthusiastic with the children. The nursery is filled with all sort of activities: sand, water, toys and even a garden area where children can look after the plants. The nursery is also
offering extra activities as music and drama.
Furthermore, there are times when children can visit our local library, and rent some books.
I would highly recommend it!

Happy Stars Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Our son started age 3 and has been there for almost a year now. In that time we have watched his social, and verbal skills, and imaginative play transform. He very clearly enjoys his time at Happy Stars and has really bonded with the staff too.


I

am also very impressed with the effort that the nursery and staff make to ensure a diverse learning environment through theme weeks (e.g. Rhyme week) and creating ever-changing play zones for the children to interact with. They also host stay and play events for the parents so that you get to see your child in their daily environment. Furthermore, they really go over and above when hosting one-off events, e.g. Halloween where all the staff dressed up with the children, the nursery was decorated and all events (painting and cooking, etc) were Halloween themed.


We are very pleased we found Happy Stars!

I cannot praise Happy Stars enough. I was nervous about sending our one-year-old daughter into a nursery environment, but all the staff were so caring and diligent. Now she loves it and loves all the staff. All the staff are so kind, fun and caring and everyone is very involved including the owner and
the cook. Kindness, safety, and fun - what more could a parent ask for.

My twin boys love going to Happy Stars! It's a wonderful environment for them to learn and develop - the staff are caring and attentive to individual needs and provide stimulating and fun activities for the children. The resources provided are varied and aimed at supporting learning and the nursery
engages parents very effectively, including through a dedicated website and daily contact. The food provided is delicious and carefully planned to support nutrition and the children are encouraged to help themselves and develop their independence. A wonderful nursery - I'm so happy my boys get to go there.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.458)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.458) out of 10 for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd 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:

    • 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 = 3.125

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.333

  • 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.
