We are so happy with our daughter's nursery. The staff are amazing and always go the extra mile for her and us. She is well stimulated and we can clearly see her growth and development and her confidence increase since joining the nursery.

My daughter has been attending Little Stars for four months and absolutely loves her days at nursery. She took a couple of weeks to settle in, and the staff were great at putting a settling-in plan in place so that by the time I started back at work, she was happy and settled, which made leaving her
a bit easier.
The ladies in the dragonfly room are fantastic; you can see they genuinely care about the children. There is always a great range of activities, and they are keen to understand the areas of development you are working on with your child so that they can support you. My child has had some big developmental milestones since starting nursery, and I have no doubt the activities, support and encouragement from the nursery have been invaluable. The ladies are great at keeping us updated, and I love getting the pictures to see what fun activities they’ve been up to!

Our little girl has been at Little Stars for over a year now. The care the staff take of her is amazing, and we know that she is in safe hands. She absolutely loves the nursery. There is nothing the staff wouldn't do to help and are always going above and beyond. The fundraising and other events around
special days are always fantastic. The nursery space and outdoor area is outstanding and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

My two sons have both been attending Little Stars since they were one (one's now nearly 4 and the other 2) and they love the nursery. They get on great with both staff and other kids and the staff have been truly phenomenal and life-changing. I don't say that lightly. Our youngest was recently diagnosed
with an illness and part of that diagnosis is thanks to the team at Little Stars who identified that he wasn't his usual self. The facilities are up to a great standard, they actively encourage the children to play, read and learn without pressure and are always doing things as part of the community. My boys love the nursery and so do I.

My husband and I started our wee boy at Little Stars Stirling when he was 7 months old. He is now almost 16 months and is thriving. I believe that a big part of him being such a sociable, happy boy is due to the staff at Little Stars. The care is excellent, the staff genuinely care, the management are
very flexible with myself and my husband. I feel comfortable leaving my little boy and know that he's loved and cared for.

5 star - My little girl started in the Dragonfly room and is now in the Caterpillar room and the girls take such good care of her. The love and support they give to my baby is invaluable! It’s always hard leaving your child with others but I know they take good care of her and the learning development
is amazing.

As a first-time mum, I was really nervous about sending my little girl to nursery when I had to return to work. The staff at Little Stars made us both feel so welcome!
The girls continuously keep me up to date on her progress and development which has also really helped with learning and playing at
home. Although she can get upset when I drop her off, she is always smiling when I pick her up. The staff are always introducing new and fun activities for all of the children and always manage to get them outside no matter what the weather! My little girl is now 18 months and I cannot fault the support we have both had at nursery.

My child has been attending this nursery for just over a year now and I have no complaints! The staff always give us a warm welcome on arrival and a lovely send-off at the end of the day. The staff showed interest in my child but also our family too. My child has been in 2 rooms over the last year and
learning experiences have been exceptional in both.
The children have amazing resources outdoors which I’ve seen them using regularly. My child particularly enjoys the bikes and scooters. I feel my child is safe in Little Stars and have full confidence in the staff team!
Thanks for everything you do!

Our little one has settled perfectly at Little Stars and I can't be any happier myself, this nursery breaks the mould of stereotypical nurseries not being flexible, they are always happy to accommodate where they can which is a huge help to us with one parent working offshore. The ladies are always
friendly and communication is excellent. Look forward to a number of years for our girl here!

My little girl has been at little stars for nearly ten months and she loves it! She is so happy going into nursery in the mornings, and can’t wait to get in the door! Activities are varied which is great for little ones! The staff are great at keeping us up to date with her day, and we love the little
diary that is filled out every day to see what she’s been up to!


We couldn’t wish for better care for our daughter. Thank you everyone!

I absolutely love this nursery for my kids, I have had both my children in this nursery from ten months. I am approaching a point where my eldest will be leaving after the summer to go to school nursery, although we have made this decision to help our daughter progress and prepare for school I will
be utterly gutted that she is leaving.
The girls in the baby room and bumble bee room are amazing, I genuinely can see the bond they have with my children and can tell how much they care for them. They are genuinely interested and care for them with love and attention as a parent would. They are always doing activities and they are outside playing too, you get an update of what they have done every day and pictures on the app which I love to see. It’s been hard through covid with my youngest as we couldn’t properly take him in but he loves it. It must be such a difficult job but I hope they know how brilliantly they do! The staff make it.

My son has now been at Little Stars Nursery for almost a year, and we are so grateful for the wonderful staff that look after him. Our son is genuinely excited every time we drop him off, and we have noticed such a difference in his communication and development. It makes a huge difference knowing that
your child is safe and happy when you are at work, and I would recommend Little Stars to anyone.

From day one the staff have been so amazing with my daughter. I was concerned about her going to nursery due to her young age - but its obvious that she loves attending. She always smiles when I drop her off with a staff member - and it's clear they all really love their jobs! I really appreciate the
regular communication too. This is in the form of daily journal notes (what my daughter has been up to, feeding, nappies, etc.), a weekly newsletter, and the online journal (where I adore being able to see photos of my daughter taking part in activites).

My son loves going to nursery. He has settled in well and loves the staff. He is full time, and we feel calm knowing that he is happy and enjoying himself at nursery. He learns loads and is developing his skills really well thanks to the staff. I like the balanced snacks, and also how the nursery accepted
cloth nappies with no problem. Really helpful staff and easy going. Definitely the best choice.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.507)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.507) out of 10 for Little Stars Nursery Stirling is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Little Stars Nursery Stirling is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 4.532 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Stars Nursery Stirling is based on 10 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.532

  • 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.
