Our daughter joined Bright Stars in September 2024 when she was just 9 months old. We can honestly say the nurturing provided by the staff including the management team has been incredible. The team take on board any concerns we have and work in partnership with us to ensure best outcomes for our daughter.
They have a tailored approach to meet her individual needs which is reassuring for us.
Our daughter has settled in well, and we are happy with the progress she is making.
When choosing a setting for our daughter we wanted a smaller baby room environment enriched with calmness and that was the choosing factor with Bright Stars for us.
We are grateful to the Bright Stars team for going over and beyond for our daughter, we cannot thank them enough.

Brilliant nursery!
My daughter goes to the baby room and she loves it there. Unfortunately, she didn't settle in her previous nursery but cries on her days off to go to Bright Stars Day Nursery. She will happily leave family members to go to staff as soon as she arrives, which says something in itself.
I am so glad I made the decision to send my daughter here. I used to always think about my daughter when she was in the previous setting, however, since she has been here, I rarely think about it. I have that peace of mind now and the mum guilt has disappeared.
The manager and supervisors are amazing and always willing to go the extra mile.

Staff are really competent and nice. My son has some issues with socialising and he doesn't want to stay anywhere without me, the nursery made him really better, staff are so loving and patient that he has to be dragged out on occasion. Super.

They have been very understanding of my situation and supported in any way they can and the staff are very welcoming and friendly and helpful with anything you need, I would definitely recommend this nursery to others. They help your children settle down if they are upset after you leave and they keep
the same faces to help the children coming in as my son knows some of them and is happy to go to them, especially one member of staff in particular.

My daughter joined the nursery about 6 weeks ago now. I was really nervous about sending her to nursery, however, the staff there have really made it easy for her to settle in. She absolutely loves nursery, has made lots of friends and adores the girls in the room. They often upload on the app with
pictures which really puts my mind at ease. Special shoutout to two members of staff who are absolutely wonderful. They are both always so friendly and lovely and my daughter loves them. The staff in the office are also fantastic, and always happy to give me an update on how my daughter is getting on - even if I phone 5 times a day! Really wonderful nursery with staff who really care.

My 3 year old daughter settled in straight away and enjoys going there. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, to both me and my daughter which is so nice to see. We both feel at home when we come. She recognises the staff straight away and points to them and tells me they’re her teachers!
Management
are very responsive and professional. The setting itself is clean and organised, with different types of toys and activities for the children.
I also get regular updates throughout the day and follow up messages about her if she’s not been in due to being unwell, which is lovely and very caring. I can’t wait to see how much she develops by the end of the year!

It's hard to say anything now, because we've only been going to this nursery for a month. So far, everything is satisfactory, a very friendly and welcoming team. I am satisfied with how they communicate with my child - openly and lovingly, this is very important to me.

Well what can I say about this nursery other than it is absolutely fantastic! My daughter started here when she was only 18 months old, she is now 3! When she started she was very anti-social due to lockdown but now she is a completely different child who has come on leaps and bounds and with so much
sass. On a few occasions she has been taken quite poorly and each and every time they have gone above and beyond for her like she was their own child.
Thank you Bright Stars.

My son has been attending Bright Stars since he was nine months old; he is almost four now. We are very pleased with the level of communication, facilities, educational activities, and, most of all, the level of care. We feel he is loved and cared for when attending, and this is the most important criterion
for parents.
We feel he is in a safe environment, and all specific requests have been met straight away.
He looks happy and comfortable there and never said anything for us to be concerned. He is always giving us great feedback, and we all know children speak the truth.
All the staff are brilliant, and we thank them for being a part of our life.

My son wasn't happy at his last nursery but since moving to Bright Stars, he is much happier now. For over a year he cried going into nursery, now he has a hug and off he goes. He loves being out in the forest school and has an excellent bond with the staff and has made friends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) 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 4.920 for Bright Stars Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, 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.
