Bright Stars Day Nursery is a privately run day nursery based in Leatherhead caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years, 52 weeks a year.

There are four different rooms within the setting. There is a calm and cosy baby room where babies can learn, explore and discover the world through sensory based play. The exciting and fast paced pre toddler room where children are encouraged to express themselves and learn through their play, the brand new cabin which caters for older toddlers. The bright and inviting Preschool room is where children are encouraged to take steps towards independence and school readiness whilst still enjoying their learning-based play. Each of these rooms have direct access to their own fully equipped gardens where children have constant free flow access to extend their learning in the outdoor environment.

At Bright Stars Day Nursery, the team work in partnership with parents to ensure that children develop socially, intellectually, culturally, physically and emotionally in a caring and secure environment.

I absolutely love Bright Stars Day Nursery! My daughter has been there since around 10 months old and I have watched her grow and progress in all the different rooms thanks to all the help of the amazing staff! All the staff are so friendly and approachable and I have got to know every single one of
them who have a great connection with my daughter even though they work in different rooms! Which makes it so nice and personable. The nursery have excellent facilities, including outdoors and they are always expanding and making an effort with their displays and resources. Communication is great and I have complete confidence and trust in her being there and looked after! Thank you for being the best!

My son joined Bright Stars Day Nursery in August when he was 12months and our experience has been fantastic. The nursery are so kind, flexible and supportive with everything! They have the children's best interests at heart and it feels like home from home. My son has settled so well and they have
100% contributed to his intelligence and development.
Huge thanks to the team, we are so lucky to have you, special thanks to three members of staff in particular, you have made my journey back to work after maternity leave so amazing, thank you for all you do for us xx

Bright Stars Day Nursery has surpassed all my expectations. My son has been going to the nursery since January 2024.
I am always impressed with the communication and updates provided by the nursery, as well as the activities, balanced meals and milestone-focused development they provide. In every
area possible, my son has developed and I definitely put some of that down to the hard work they put in every day. Whilst being professional, the staff are also nurturing, kind, patient and fun. I have no concerns whilst my son is in their care and that is priceless. He is happy and stimulated throughout the day and is consistently learning new things. They provide sessions that allow parents to have an insight into nursery life throughout the year and give comprehensive reporting around parents' evenings. With the cost of childcare being a constant topic of conversation, Bright Stars has been and continues to be worth every penny. I would not hesitate to recommend them, over and over again!

I love Bright Stars Day Nursery. The staff care so much about the children, there is always some creative activity which encourages both the imagination and development.
They have been instrumental in leading my son's potty training and speech. He loves going in, I rarely get a second glance at drop-off.
Thank
you girls!

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2023 and it is like a second home for him. The staff are so attentive, kind and friendly towards his additional needs. The app updates are amazing and reassuring for parents who like to know what their child is up to and the activities put on for
parents, like sports day, breakfast club, parents evening etc., are all fab additions to his care. They provide good updates at pick-up and are always there for support and guidance. If you'd like your child to attend a nursery where they genuinely care about your children, send them to Bright Stars Day Nursery!

My son has been going to this nursery for approx 6 months and loves it. They seem to understand his personality and talk really kindly to him. Always helping with any last minute requests and advising of any key concerns. My son loves his key worker and frequently mentions her at home.

Bright Stars Day Nursery provided exceptional care and support to my twins. The dedicated staff created a warm environment, tailoring activities to their needs. They went above and beyond for my son with ASD, developing a personalised plan and fostering language skills. The nursery prepared them for
school academically and socially. In addition to the exceptional care and education, they also provided a wide range of stimulating activities and opportunities for creative expression. Communication and regular updates were outstanding, and the staff was always approachable and willing to address any concerns or questions I had.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bright Stars to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children. The caring and committed staff, along with their focus on individualised care and holistic development, make it a truly exceptional place. My boys' time at the nursery was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for the positive impact it had on their lives.

This nursery has been brilliant for my child, who moved from another local nursery. I have been so impressed with how efficiently the staff (both carers and management) communicate, and how much information we get about what the children are getting up to. They seem genuinely so enthusiastic about early
years care and are always coming up with exciting activities and sensory play for the children. They are also very transparent and often have events where parents can attend with their children during nursery hours, for breakfast for example.

My children love attending Bright Stars and as a nursery, they have exceeded my expectations in every way. We have attended other nurseries locally and Bright Stars is excellent by comparison.
They care for our children like they are their own and have taken the time to get to know our whole family.
The staff are happy to see my children and the boys love telling me about their teachers and carers.
The range of activities on offer is relevant, seasonal and different every day. The team put huge effort into planning and arranging a huge range of activities and trips, which our children really enjoy.
The communication with parents is second to none and there are regular events to keep parents informed, connected with other parents and informed about curriculum updates.
I can’t recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for the superb job they are doing. I am looking forward to my youngest child starting later this year.

Bright Stars is a fantastic and friendly nursery. My daughter smiles upon morning drop-off and enjoys the daily sensory/activities the nursery puts on. The nursery has a fantastic app which logs your child's food intake, naps and nappies, which for a first-time mum, was reassuring. The app also allows
staff to upload your child's development along with photos. What more could you want! All staff are very helpful, friendly and contactable via the app as well.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.899 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 Bright Stars Day Nursery is based on 14 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
