A wonderful place; very well run. We have now trusted Smiley Stars with our children for 6 years and have a great relationship with all of the staff. Neither of our kids has ever complained about going to the nursery and it has given them a great start to life. In my daughter's case, she was so well
prepared for primary school, and that is certainly also true for my son who starts school in August this year.
We will be sad to leave the nursery, and the great friends that both the kids and we as parents have made in our time there.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone: a small and personal place where the kids are safe.

My nephew has been attending this nursery for about 4 years now and I am so proud of my little nephew. His vocabulary is absolutely amazing and he understands things so clearly. He is always informing me about what he is learning at nursery and what food he loves having when he is there. He is always
a happy child coming from nursery and I know that he is in good care.

My son has attended Smiley Stars Nursery for over two years and during his time at the nursery, he has grown into a confident and happy little boy. He has made lots of friends along the way and is very fond of the ladies.


The environment is clean, safe and there are loads of toys/learning equipment

and alternative play areas on site.


I have found the staff to be very supportive during the various life changes, for example, potty training and the arrival of a new baby.


I feel very confident my daughter will thrive during her time at the nursery too.


Location is great.

My nephew has been attending the nursery since the baby room and is now going to school this year, he has come on fantastically since being at the nursery and has learnt so much, he is definitely ready for school.
My niece also attends the nursery and is in the baby room, she only began to attend the
nursery in February 2019. She has settled very well into the nursery.
Both children really enjoy nursery and are eager to go each day.
Staff have always been very friendly, helpful and approachable.

Smiley Stars Nursery is a friendly and well-presented Nursery. I could not ask for better staff to look after my little one. They treat her as if she was one of their own. She cannot wait to go to Nursery and at times doesn't want to leave. Since my little one has been there she has come on leaps and
bounds and I want to thank everyone at Smiley Stars.

Excellent nursery. A friendly environment in which the children can learn. Very caring staff and lots of updates as to how your child is getting on. A wide range of activities and I like how they encourage social skills such as sharing from an early age.

Fantastic home from home atmosphere for my daughter, she has been in the nursery from 7 months old and has developed so much, she's always happy and the staff are fantastic, especially 2 in particular who have worked closely with my daughter to bring her on so much, definitely recommend to anyone in
the search for child care, I go to work with the reassurance she is safe and well looked after, very important when I work full time and I am a first time mum. Thank you, everyone, for everything!

Fantastic nursery and amazing care for my two children. I can't thank the staff enough for everything that they do, not only for our children but also the relationship they have with us as parents. Very reliable, approachable and loving nursery and staff. Highly recommend.

My boy, 4 years old, has his first year at the nursery. He was crying every day not wanting to go to the nursery. The management and staff very professionally trained in how to let him settle fast and he started asking to attend the nursery every day. Really appreciate that after a bad experience with
the previous nursery. 2 months they could not settle him.

I love the diversity of the nursery, which has an excellent learning structure for kids. Staff are approachable, listen to issues and attempt to assist with solutions to accommodate all the kids who attend. Security is taken very seriously.


Our son loves his days at nursery and interacting with staff.

The staff have helped us build and develop a strategy to tackle his separation anxiety in the morning and continue to provide ongoing support. So individual support is considered, where required.


The nursery takes pride in their community and encourages everyone to participate. This helps reinforce the message we can all make a difference to our surroundings.


Educational activity and level continue to impress me with my son's knowledge and language skills noticeably improved. I receive an ongoing update about activity in the nursery along with an educational record of activity.


Overall I'm very happy with the service provided and the fabulous start it's given my son in education.

I think the best proof is when my daughter gets her hat, coat and shoes on to go to the nursery on the weekend!
I go to work not worrying about my child knowing that she’s been looked after and is happy, which makes it a stress-free process for me also, there are some days when I collect her that I
need to try and coax her to come home.
I would gladly recommend this nursery to other parents.

My daughter loves the nursery. It is the best place to leave her as I go to work. She loves the staff and she is always excited every morning to go.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Ibrox 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.924 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Ibrox is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 Smiley Stars Nursery - Ibrox is based on 11 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
