Little Stars Nursery is a well-established purpose-built building. It has been built to accommodate up to 98 nursery aged children throughout the year.

Internally the playrooms are bright and spacious, and all have access to a huge outdoor space via bi-fold doors, allowing a free flow from the playroom to the garden.

They have a forest school approach to outdoor learning and encourage children to discover and explore nature, along with science and problem solving, early language and communication skills. The children are supervised at all times in a secure learning environment by qualified experienced staff, led by their highly experienced management team.

Their aim is to work in partnership with parents and carers as a team, to ensure that the children get the very best experience from attending Little Stars and become happy, confident caring individuals ready for the future.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our wee one has been placed at Little Stars Nursery Alloa since March, and we have found the nursery to be nothing other than excellent. From getting her settled in, which was initially challenging and required some adjustments through to now when she quite happily toddles into the nursery herself without
batting eyelid.


There are a variety of activities that the children are involved in each day - along with involvement in other events - such as Halloween/Children in Need. We have lunches provided by the nursery which are always varied and healthy.


Communication with the nursery has always been good, however, has further improved over the past few months with the advent of a weekly newsletter, further information on noticeboards and emails being sent. All staff are approachable, and knowledgeable and show a genuine interest in the children. A welcome addition recently was the parent's evening where we had the opportunity to stop by at night and have a walk through the whole nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Little Stars Alloa is our 5th Nursery (job and availability issues) and is undoubtedly the best childcare facility we have put both our children into. The kids come home exhausted from all the meaningful play and engaging activities the nursery staff put on and they sleep much better for it.


Communication

is second to none and we as parents feel informed of every step of progress from the online learning journal, the take-home diary and the handover at home time.


Our oldest daughter has ASD which presents significant challenges. Little Stars (Alloa) have taken her with a warm embrace and moulded a plan to make her feel included as well as focus on her development. The management have worked tirelessly to help us access funding and extra support.


Truly cannot rate this place any higher. They feel like an extension of our family who we trust with the care and upbringing of our kids. 10 / 10 and exceptional value.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Little Stars Nursery Alloa is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.667 for Little Stars Nursery Alloa is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 4.816 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Stars Nursery Alloa is based on 16 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.816

  • 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.
