The only nursery we use so we can't compare it to other places, however, we are happy with the progress our children have made so far.
Staff members are kind and helpful. We are updated about our child on a daily basis and by use of a user-friendly app.

All my 3 kids have attended Little Stars Day Nursery. I have never experienced any problems. The staff are very polite and cooperate and listen to parents needs. My daughter recently joined last term and had no problems settling in thanks to the staff for making her feel welcome. Highly recommend.

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery. The first changed from another due to a house move and was very supported in that change. The second has gone since she was 10 months old and the staff worked very hard to get her settled. They both love the outside space, it makes a big difference that
they can explore outside often together despite being of different ages.
The food is also great with both eating well despite being fussy at home and also being supported in allergy and dietary requirements.

The staff are very helpful and friendly. They are able to establish an immediate connection with the children. My son settled in straight away and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the session.
The outdoor play area has plenty of activities for the children to explore and embrace their learning.
The management is very approachable and always available and willing to give time should you need to speak with them.

We have two children at Little Stars Day Nursery (past and present), and we are very pleased we chose this Nursery.
The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The rooms are bright, and the children have lots of toys and activities to choose from. All rooms recently refurbished.
We are kept informed
of each child’s progress, and enquiries are responded to promptly.
We would highly recommend this nursery to other parents!

My son started at Little Stars when he was 14 months old, he has become more confident and he learns something new every time he comes to nursery. The staff helped him settle in very quickly and made us all feel very comfortable and at ease. Nothing is too much for the staff or managers. Our son has
freshly cooked food every day and they work with the parents and provide food for every dietary requirement. I can not recommend Little Stars enough and we would not have our son anywhere else. The quality of care and safeguarding is outstanding. We can't thank Little Stars enough for all there help.

My son has been attending Little stars Day Nursery since September 2017. He has built up amazing friendships and relationships with both staff and other children. I have noticed his confidence in completing tasks and trying new things has increased since attending the nursery. He consistently does new
things and says new things on a daily basis that amazes us and can only be factored down to the nursery having such a positive impact in his life.
He still finds it hard at drop offs but there are certain members of staff he has built up amazing relationships with, who take him off and make him feel comfortable to leave me. I am currently pregnant and feel strongly about sending my new addition when needed, to this nursery also.

All the staff at the nursery are amazing. They have been very supportive of my son, who has some delayed developments, including speech.
The facilities for the kids to learn and both educational and fun.
My son particularly loves the mud kitchen and the water stations. He has come on leaps and bounds,
especially thanks to his key worker!
The staff at the nursery have been very supportive in attaining the extra help that my son needs in regards to his development. My son can be quite challenging at times, and they deal with it so well in a way that empowers him and helps him settle. Can't recommend them enough.

This nursery has been excellent. My child is a special needs child, she needed a lot of support in different areas, such as eating, behaviour and sensory support. This nursery provided me with so much support on getting the right help my child needed. They have supported my child since she was 1 1/2
years of age and are still supporting her now. I am very thankful and appreciate everything this nursery has helped me with.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Little 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 4.7 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 4.904 for Little Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.904

  • 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 4.737 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.737

  • 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.
