I have 3 children who attended Shiny Stars Day Nursery, one of which has SEN he has multiple & profound needs & other complex needs. The staff were fantastic they helped get support for my child, put interventions in place & helped with school readiness. Through every step, they worked in partnership
with us. They supported us with what to do at home to support our child. My firstborn went to this nursery she was prepared well for school. Her abilities in all areas of the curriculum were exceeding. In the first term of her going to school the teachers praised is for how well she was doing, she was awarded first position in a reader's competition in West Yorkshire. We put it down to the hard work & dedication the nursery staff had in educating our children & giving them the solid foundations they needed in their early years. My child with SEN has had his first week at school, with the SENCo's help we chose the right school for our child. Thank you. Highly recommend this nursery.

The best place in Bradford for your child is Shiny Stars Day Nursery! The staff have been amazing from the offset. My child has attended the nursery for six weeks, and there are no complaints from me or my husband. I love the fact that we receive a daily report on what our child has eaten and what time
her nap times have been as well as her nappy changes, with extra detail on timings and how much or how little she has eaten and what type of nappy she has done. The baby room has recently been refurbished with a new ball pit, play gym and lights, which is fabulous for my daughter as she loves to play! Receiving pictures of what my daughter has been up to in her activities really pleases me as I feel as though I'm there with her. The staff have been hands-on and very supportive with everything; for example, I was running late one morning, and the staff kindly washed and dressed her for me at the nursery, and she always comes home with a smile! What more could you ask for?

Shiny Stars Day Nursery is brilliant. Both of our children have been very happy there, and I have felt comfortable leaving them and knowing they are happy and safe while I work long hours. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They do loads of fun creative, educational, and sometimes messy activities
whilst exposing them to different cultures and religions through celebrations. I particularly love the community feel with family involvement at Mother's and Father’s Day celebrations, Christmas events, and fundraising activities.
I highly recommend this nursery.

I have used Shiny Stars Day Nursery since 2013 - both for full-time childcare and the holiday club.
I can truly say the whole staff team treat the children as if they were their own.
The early year's input is the perfect foundation for children starting school.
The management is flexible with individual
needs and works to support both parents and children.
Our young people could not want for a better start to their development and learning needs.

Reply from Hameeda Zaman, Owner/Manager at Shiny Stars Day Nursery / Holiday Club

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.875) out of 10 for Shiny Stars Day Nursery / Holiday Club is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.750 for Shiny Stars Day Nursery / Holiday Club is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shiny Stars Day Nursery / Holiday Club is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125

  • 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.
