My child's experience at Little Stars has been wonderful, with great staff, a great environment and a range of enjoyable activities provided for my son. I can happily send my son to this nursery without any doubts and worries regarding my child's safety and would highly recommend this nursery for other
children.

My daughter has been attending nursery for six months now. She absolutely loves it and runs in every day. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery.


Every day there is a new activity or experience planned and she seems

to be really thriving from the variety. Our regular catch-ups with her Miss are informing and reassuring. The general communications from the team at Little Stars Preschool Nursery are also exemplary.


We feel so lucky to have been able to secure a place and are so grateful to the team at Little Stars Preschool Nursery!

My son started nursery in April, and the staff were very welcoming. He adjusted pretty well. He's learnt to play alongside other children and he is moulding into his own person and learning to share. Looking forward to him starting preschool.

A wonderful setting for all ages. Kind and helpful staff with a genuine love for kids. It has been a remarkable experience for my daughter who went in as a shy cocoon and came out a confident butterfly. Very impressed with the facilities and cleanliness on the premises. Learning the ropes in the early
stages of your life is extremely vital and the management along with the teachers have done a fantastic job in moulding the clay with love and discipline. Keep it up Little Stars

My daughter, who is 3 years old, started attending Little Stars at the beginning of November. She settled in straight away. She always comes home happy, with lots of stories to tell. She talks about her teachers and the activities they provide. Little Stars is a good environment for her, I feel that
my daughter is safe there and well looked after. Highly recommend.

My daughter went to Little Stars and now my son. This has been the obvious choice for my wife and I. The management is very caring and professional. The set-up is clean with a strict policy on cleanliness. The set-up is multicultural, with children from all ethnicities, all who interact which each other.
The level of teaching is at a high level where it does not only focus on learning but also basic life skills such as eating oneself, cleaning up, socialising and group work. I would fully recommend little stars.

She has increased in confidence, communication and social skills since she joined in April this year. Staff helped her settle very well, and since joining, she is always happy to
attend nursery. There are a variety of activities set each week and meet EYFS requirements. She loves to play, interact with her peers and is fond of the amazing staff, who communicate well with parents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Little Stars Pre-School 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.984 for Little Stars Pre-School Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.984

  • 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 Little Stars Pre-School Nursery Ltd is based on 16 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
