Our boy started this nursery in January 2022 after attending two others prior - he loves going there everyday and misses it when he's off! The forest school is probably the best part of the nursery for him as he loves the outdoors!
The staff are all so lovely, friendly, and helpful - our son doesn't
stop talking about them and his peers at home and looks forward to seeing them open the door each morning!

At the minute we are really satisfied with the nursery as my daughter got used to it really quickly I would say, the teachers are really friendly and tell you about your kid what they been doing during the day, what they had to eat when you pick your kid up. I was really happy about the baby room that
they have their parent's pictures in the room so they can see it all the time. My daughter started to talk much more when she started to go to nursery. Overall really happy with the nursery.

I have been sending my son to Bright Stars for 2 months now. The staff are so welcoming, especially the ladies in the Baby room. They always keep me updated throughout the day as to how my son is getting on which is really reassuring while I'm at work. I'm so glad I have sent my baby to this nursery
- definitely would recommend it!

This is our second year with the nursery, and me and my daughter are satisfied with everything. Even if she attends only one day a week, she can’t wait for when the day comes. Every morning I am waking up to the question, nursery today? The staff are very helpful, and there has always been very good
communication between the staff and the parents. A very good environment for a child.

My son attends Bright Stars Day Nursery. He loves going there. I've never had any issue with any of the staff meeting my son's needs. He can be quite a hand full at times, but they are so understanding and are always there to help me and my son. All the ladies there are very helpful and so kind. Whenever
I have a question, they are always there to answer it and give me daily updates on my child, so thank you.

We sent our son to Bright Stars and as soon as we knew we were expecting our daughter, our first thought was to send our daughter there. The baby room staff are so helpful and kind. We know how well they look after our daughter as she always smiles as soon as her key worker comes to greet her and is
all smiles when we pick her up. If we have queries or questions, they are always answered promptly and there is never a delay in getting an answer. I can’t thank everyone enough for how well our daughter is looked after.

My little boy has only been at Bright Stars Day Nursery for a couple of weeks and when we pull into the car park he gets so excited and runs over to the gate and runs down to his room door. We both get a lovely warm welcome at the gate from his key person who tells me what will be happening in the room
throughout the day activity-wise. I get lovely photos of my little one sent to me of him playing, detailed feedback through the app of what and how much he's eaten, slept and nappies and get very detailed feedback in person when I pick up too. His key person and other staff in the room talk really nice to him and are absolutely amazing at what they do (this clearly shows as my little boy has settled straight away). I can tell he is comfortable with all staff who care for him during the day by the way he acts when he is around them and in the room. We couldn't be happier with the nursery as a whole, everyone is super kind and caring.

Reply from Kirsty Wislawski, Manager at Bright Stars Day Nursery

What a lovely review Rianne, thank you. Your little one has done amazing at settling in, and we cannot wait for him to transition into the big boy room.

Our baby girl just started this nursery and already has bonded with her key person. I’m so glad that we chose to send our little girl to Bright Stars Day Nursery one of the best in Peterborough, the setting is lovely and the staff are amazing. The care and love they are providing to all the little ones
while complying and adhering the Covid rules is absolutely great. Thanks to all the staff and management for their services and care for our little one.

From when my daughter first started at Bright Stars back in September 2021 she has come on leaps and bounds with her development. She has the best relationship with all the staff and I can not thank them enough for all they do for her and for myself. The activities they do to support her development
are amazing, from tuff tray activities to forest school, she adores them all. Highly recommend Bright Stars and I'm so happy my daughter is a part of the Bright Stars family as this is what they are.

All of the staff at Bright Stars are and have been working tirelessly during the Pandemic, and it has been very much appreciated by me especially as I need to work every day and I rely heavily on the support that all the staff has been giving me throughout the past three years. It has made a big difference
in my working life and also to be able to have time for myself. All the staff are great and very understanding of my child's needs. Thank you for everything.

Bright Stars have been amazing with our little one. From the day he joined up to now we couldn’t have asked for better practitioners. Always attentive and caring nothing is too big or small to deal with. Activities are great, menu options good, and he has a great time. Recommend to friends and family.

Bright Stars daycare and pre-school is the best nursery to take your child. It works around your schedule they open at 8 am and close at 6 pm. The manager and staff are very organised, very caring and polite, they are easy to speak to. My child loves going to preschool and talks a lot about the teachers
and friends. The teachers always give me updates online or in-person to let me know how my child is performing.

I have a 3.5yr old at this nursery currently who has been here since under a year old and her sister attended previously for three years after moving from a different nursery that she didn't enjoy.
We love everything about this nursery. The building and gardens are very secure.
The rooms are bright
and airy and there are plenty of activities for the children to choose from. The gardens have plenty of bikes, scooters, slides and other play equipment.
Both of my children have learned so much from this nursery, staff are more than happy to support in any particular areas on request and there are regular parents evenings to discuss development.
The best thing about this nursery is definitely the staff. I trust them completely and both my girls absolutely love them all.
We are always greeted with a smile whether that's the managers or the staff and they're always interested to hear what we have been up to at home.
Can't fault this nursery at all!

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.
