The nursery really is a 'home away from home', my little boy has grown immensely since being at Little Stars. His speech and confidence have developed so much. The manager and the team really listen to you about the care of your child and really tailor the care and activities around your child's well-being
and developmental needs. There is structured and independent play at the nursery so that the children get to learn both routine and explorative/imaginary play. I also love how we are greeted every morning with 'Is everything ok?', which allows a safe space for a chat if it's needed about your child. You can tell through parents' evening and chats around pick up and drop off that the manager and the staff really do love caring for our little ones and are super invested in their futures. Thank you millions girls, superwomen!

My child found a home at Little Stars and she enjoyed the place and friendly staff who welcomed us with open arms and listening ears. Also in terms of brain development, the facility offered our child with the best there is to offer.

Both my girls have been to Little Stars Daycare, my first before and my youngest is currently there now. Honestly could not wish for a better nursery. It really is a home-from-home environment, they get fresh-cooked meals daily. To the point, my youngest asks to stay till after tea time because she
loves the food that much!
They have a lovely garden area for the children too, with lots of equipment and activities to keep them entertained. Getting updates via the app too really puts your mind at ease and allows you to get an insight on what your little one is getting up to throughout the day.
If you’re looking for a home from home environment for your children, little stars is definitely the nursery for you. We love our Little Stars Daycare family. My girls wouldn’t have gone anywhere else.

My child has been attending Little Stars Daycare for a year and a half, and hand on heart I can truthfully say they are the best nursery I have ever dealt with. When my child first started he was 14 months old and struggled to be away from me due to the covid pandemic. All of the girls listened to my
worries and concerns and helped ease him into nursery whilst making him feel safe and comforted. Even after the first taster session, I knew he was going to be absolutely fine there and love it. He is now nearly 3 and he is thriving, also the nursery always does lots of activities to help children grow and develop different skills. They are also great with dealing with his multiple allergies/intolerance which helps out my mind at ease, and have been amazing with my son whilst he has transitioned from nappies to potty. They have an app which keeps you updated throughout the day, and always, always take lots of pictures and videos which I love. Such a great nursery that I feel are now like family!

My daughter has been going to the nursery for the last year now and she's really enjoying it she has come on amazing and loads since starting. The hours are really suited for my job role and the prices are also reasonable as well as food snacks and nappies are included. There's alot of different activities
for the children to do and learn and a lovely big garden for the summer days.
The staff are all lovely and amazing with the children of all ages and welcoming in when on arrival and departure of the nursery
Any queries are answered straight away also there's an app and Instagram with updates which is ideal when working long hours you can see everything they've done or eaten and naps during the day.
I'd recommend this nursery to anyone I know with children and I already have recommended alot of my friends with children.

My daughter joined this nursery a month ago and is struggling to settle, however the girls are so welcoming and patient.
There’s a really lovely outdoor space for the children and is off the road making it safer to get to!

Little Stars Daycare is an amazing nursery! Our son loves going there. He comes out of there full of beans, telling us about all the fun he and his friends have had that day. We are updated with lots of posts throughout the day on Instagram stories which we love as we can see how happy he is and how
much he’s enjoying. There’s also an update on the app which lets us know what meals he’s had and a description of what theme they’ve been learning that day. I can’t thank the staff enough, they are always so friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to book in for extra sessions last minute when we’ve had childcare issues. He has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery, he is thriving and I’ll be sorry to see him leave the nursery. It really is an amazing place.

My son started at Little Stars Daycare 2 years ago and is ready to go to pre school now in September. I’m gutted he’s leaving. Little Stars creates a warm, nurturing environment for all the children the girls are amazing with him, they are incredibly kind, patient, empathetic, full of fun and enthusiasm.
There are lots of updates and pictures throughout the day and the communication is brilliant, creating a smooth transition and a home from home experience. The outdoor and indoor facilities are brilliant, sensory play and role play which is all vital in any child’s development and he is thriving. I could go on and on, all I would like to say is a huge thank you to you all x

Clean, organised, very caring nursey. The staff are very friendly and they have many activities in the nursery. They always go the extra mile to make your child feel comfortable at a new setting. Their willingness to always help the children in their care, whether it be with supporting additional needs,
advice and support for parents or listening to any concerns you may have about your child, they are always there and genuinely care for the children in their care. Their menus are healthy but also enjoyable for children.

With starting a new job, my children needed somewhere to go for breakfast and after-school club. After reading the reviews, I knew this was the one. I was offered in to view the setting beforehand, and my children fell in love with it, and so did I. They love going in the mornings and after school.
There is so much to do there with lots of activities and crafts. The staff are amazing and have made the children feel so welcome. Would highly recommend Little Stars.

I absolutely cannot fault the effort and lengths this nursery goes to for the children who attend. I travel 20 minutes out of my way just to bring my child here rather than have free childcare in my village as the service exceeds all expectations from a daycare provider. I have never witnessed nor heard
a negative comment about the staff or setting. My child went through a misbehaviour month what was a real struggle at home, when I informed the nursery, they put a rewards chart in place just for my son there that encouraged him to listen at home - if he came in and had been good, he'd get a sticker and for every 15 stickers, he'd get a reward. I have a number of young family members who have attended other nurseries and never have I witnessed the care and consideration like this. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone.

He has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery and he loves it there so they’re definitely doing a brilliant
job!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Little Stars Daycare 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.859 for Little Stars Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 Little Stars Daycare is based on 13 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 29 number of registered child places is 5.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
