The nursery has been a wonderful support since my child started two years ago and especially over the last year dealing with Covid. My child absolutely loves the setting, especially forest school. Keep up the good work.

This is the best nursery ever I found for my little boy. Fantastic staff, very friendly, I get all information about my boy. My little boy always goes and comes out with a big smile on his face that says everything about this setting. I am really glad I got the perfect setting for my little boy when
he learns the best things.

The nursery is amazing! I was so nervous to put my one year old into a setting because she had been in lockdown her entire life but these ladies have made it such a smooth and amazing process. My daughter has only been attending two weeks and she absolutely loves it! The staff are the loveliest ladies
and I trust them with my daughter completely. Thank you girls.

It’s an amazing nursery, my son loves it there. Brilliant and friendly staff, excellent facilities that are ten out of ten. My boy could barely speak before he started there, just a couple of simple words and noises but within a few weeks he could almost string a sentence together, now he can speak
perfectly and he understands letters and numbers, he has progressed so much since being at Bright Stars Day Nursery.

Thank you so much for this review, Jay, we love having your son with us and know he is going to thrive in school later this year. We couldn't do what we do without the support from the parents, so thank you - Kirsty.

I lost count of how many nurseries and childminders I looked at when searching for child care on my return to work. At 9 months old my son just didn’t seem big enough for me to leave him. A friend recommended I look at Bright Stars after I complained nowhere quite felt right.
As soon as we looked
around we felt the family atmosphere over one of a business. We were so warmly welcomed and the children all seemed really happy. It was spotlessly clean and the facilities were excellent including a huge garden. It just felt right. I signed on the dotted line the same day!
I’ve been overwhelmed with how lovely the staff are to both my son and the whole family. They were incredibly understanding of how hard it is to leave your baby and let you call as much as you need.
I can’t recommend the place highly enough.
Their response to the COVID pandemic too has been fantastic. The measures they have put in place seem thorough and keep us informed and updated regularly.

I've been using this nursery since January 2011. I’ve sent 3 of my children, so I can easily say that this is the best nursery in the whole of Peterborough. Staff are very friendly and highly qualified, all equipment and activities are well prepared, everyone always ready to help and preparing all the
children amazingly for school. I’ve got very high expectations when it is coming to my children especially when they are spending most of the day in the nursery. So it’s a second home for them and I can happily say that this nursery easily reached my expectations. I would really recommend this nursery to everyone.

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.
