My daughter joined this setting in January and just after spending a few months here I noticed very positive changes in her. She is now more confident, her behaviour has improved, the way she interacts with her fellow classmates has improved and most importantly she started sharing her stuff with other
kids. This is very important to co-exist, she started loving going to the nursery, she always felt safe there and being a mother her safety was my top priority. I am glad that I never noticed anything which is of concern. As she is joining reception soon Little Stars Pre-School played an important role to prepare her to move ahead in life. Thank you to the staff for helping her grow, I owe each and every one of you a big thank you.

Today is my daughter's first day at Little Stars Preschool and she is very excited which is evident with her repeating 'nursery' with a big smile throughout the day. I was looking for a warm, nurturing and supportive environment and of course conducive to my daughter’s individual learning and development
needs with the flexibility of timings that fit in with other commitments. She had a happy and positive experience on her visit to the nursery where she met all the staff and instantly engaged with her new fun learning environment. The staff led by a fantastic manager were amazing. I found the manager's professionalism exceptional as she listened attentively to my concerns as a parent of a child that is waiting for a heart transplant and whom has spent most of her two years of life so far in an intensive care hospital ward. All I can say is that I’m very pleased to have found this amazing place where my daughter will thrive and achieve despite the huge stress of a serious and life-threatening condition.

I am extremely pleased with this nursery as they have a lot of flexible options in their timings that suit me as a parent.The staff are extremely helpful and courteous and seem to have a knack of settling in children very quickly. I have personal experience of the person in charge who is very firm and
straightforward in her dealings especially with parents like me, BUT is extremely loving when it comes to children. A great communicator.


The experience can be seen from the parents' meetings and the progress reports of my child.


I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

When my son started at the nursery for the first time, he didn't speak in English at all but now he has started to understand almost everything and is happy to spend his time with staff and other children. I'm really happy with all staff from here and I don't have anything to complain about. Every day
is getting better and better and this is making me happy. Thank you for everything and what you are doing. Very good job.

My son attends Little Stars Pre-school as well as my eldest daughter. I am very happy with both children's development, especially my son. He has started making friends, and tries to be independent. He is always very happy and excited to go to Pre-school. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

When my daughter started at the nursery a year and a half ago she could not even speak a word of English, now she understands everything and talks a lot. She loves her teachers, she loves to go to the nursery every day, and she is talking so much about her friends there. I am impressed that she is eating
her food, even if I cook something that she will not eat at home, because she is watching all the kids eating she wants to finish as well. Very organised, I am very happy with my daughter's progress.

My child is extremely happy after joining the nursery. He has started conversing more with other children and I can see him being more confident. The way of learning is actually very good and support the child in a way to build his self-confidence.


Being a parent I am satisfied to see my child progressing.

Also, the staff are very helpful. Their opinions and suggestions are good with helping my child to progress in his development.

I find that this nursery is one of the best I found having children and using nurseries before, I am delighted I found this one.


The staff are not only friendly but professionals dedicated to improving your child development and nourishing them with knowledge, love and affection.


My child has

blossomed in the time that he has joined the nursery. He is happy and I have noticed that he is more confident, his vocabulary has expanded and overall a great improvement.


One of the carers and the manager is responsible for this with the care and attention to my son and to the rest of the children.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.980 for Little Stars Pre-School Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.98

  • 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 13 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 13 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.
