Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe is open 08:30-15:30 Monday to Friday (term time only).

The nursery offers a 10 per cent discount for siblings and provides government-funded sessions from 9 months old through to 4 year olds.

Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe has a nature garden where the children can grow vegetables and herbs, go for bug hunts, create pretend campfires and mix different materials such as mud, sand and bark in the mud kitchen.

Each child has a key person they will build a strong relationship with the child, parents and families from enrolment through to the transition to school. The key worker will also offer individual observation, planning and assessment in line with the early years foundation stage curriculum (EYFS).

Parents will need to supply children with a packed lunch, however, snacks are provided in the mornings and afternoons.

My son has been at this nursery for 2-years, and they have been so helpful in any concerns I have had, and look after my son so well. Will be missing this nursery so much when he starts school in September.
Thank you.

My son enjoys going to school and likes it there. I feel comfortable leaving my son there as they have a system where they let you know what your child been up to so you do not have to worry about your child.

My daughter loves this nursery every morning. She is always looking forward to 'being dropped off' as she says.
The staff are all lovely and caring towards each individual.

At the moment, my child is going through a challenging period, and the staff are all supportive and encouraging. I’m happy that when I leave my child for his morning session, he is in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.905 for Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe is based on 19 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
