Our son started at Bright Star (Kilburn) two days a week last November. The staff are so warm and kind and we are particularly grateful to everyone in the nursery room for caring for him in the early months as he has adjusted to being at nursery. Since starting, our son comes home singing songs and
his ABC. The staff also helped to nurture his social skills. We saw the impact of this at the park when our son saw another child from Bright Star and was so happy playing with his ‘nursery friend’. They do arts and crafts, grow things and have even watched ducklings hatch from eggs! There is outside space for the children to play and I feel confident that he is in safe and nurturing hands. The manager sends out newsletters to parents and is very responsive. We met our son’s keyworker for our first parents' evening and saw photos and comments about our son’s development which was wonderful. We have recommended the nursery to other parents and are happy to have found Bright Star for our family.

My youngest has been attending Bright Star Day Nursery (Kilburn branch) for almost 2 years now and loves it. All the ladies at Bright Star are wonderful caregivers, friendly, loving and nurturing. Management are amazing and always happy to help, talk or listen to concerns. The curriculum taught at the
nursery is very comprehensive and I've seen such wonderful development in my child over the past months. The facilities and nursery itself are lovely, with lots of space for the children to explore, learn and play. Monthly newsletters are sent out which are always informative and a nice insight into what's going on and what there is to look forward to. My firstborn attended the nursery when he was a baby and continued till preschool - he enjoyed his time there immensely and was the main reason I had no doubts to enrol my youngest there too when the time came. I have total peace of mind my son is looked after and cared for in a safe, educational and caring environment. I highly recommend.

My son used to love going to Bright Star and we are still in touch with other kids (and parents) from his time. We had a bad experience before that, and Bright Star Day Nursery gave him his confidence back. My daughter is now going and seems to have integrated pretty quickly. When I drop her in the
morning, she is not looking back. Lovely people and everybody is very caring. The fact that the nursery is open from 7 to 7 and 51 weeks a year is also very helpful as we have no other support.

My daughter loves attending the nursery! The staff is very friendly and has supported and encouraged her development. I just wish they included more veggies and protein in their meals. Apart from that, I can only say good things about it.

Bright Star Day Nursery has been providing an excellent service since we first took our first baby to the nursery six years ago. They were caring, understanding and very helpful. We felt assured our baby was in good hands. Three babies down the line, they are still the best nursery that could help with
providing childcare for our babies. The staff are very friendly, and the management is approachable and definitely goes far and beyond the usual business, and that means a lot to us.

We are delighted with the nursery.
Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Kilburn Bright Star Day Nursery. She appears to be learning well and progressing fast.
All staff are lovely - caring, supportive and always positive.
The facilities could be upgraded/renovated but besides that the place
is perfect!

Our son has attended the nursery since he was 10-months-old and he absolutely loves it. The staff have always been warm and welcoming which I believe has given him the confidence to develop, get involved, make friends and thrive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to all.

Registered my son last September and he absolutely loves going to the nursery. I find the staff friendly and helpful. Emails from the nursery regarding newsletters and events are also very helpful for me, as I don't usually have time in the morning or evening to gather this information. I have had my
son at another nursery, and I find I was missing out on a lot of what was going on.
I would recommend this nursery to parents.
Thank you Bright Star Day Nursery!

Since joining the Nursery my grandson has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going into nursery everyday. The staff and management are both warm, supportive and nurturing.
My experience of the Nursery has been fantastic so far and we would definitely recommend
to others.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I don't usually leave comments as I am a busy single parent of a very active son. My son goes to this nursery and he absolutely loves it. He started there at 6 months and as a single parent, the nursery has supported me so much with his growth and development. I am so pleased with my decision.


I

was very concerned as to where I would find suitable childcare for him so I could return to work. He is very happy there and cared for. The rooms are big and the staff is lovely. I have visited many day nurseries before and after my son's birth, they are all different etc. So it's quite difficult at the beginning.


I am happy I have chosen this one and I'm looking forward to seeing my son in his new preschool uniform in September.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.608)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.608) out of 10 for Bright Star Day Nursery (Kilburn) 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 4.7 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 4.950 for Bright Star Day Nursery (Kilburn) is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 4.658 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Star Day Nursery (Kilburn) 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.658

  • 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.
