My daughter is nearly two years old and has attended Bright Stars since she was 1 year old. She loves it, and has been developing well, talking and counting. She gets excited when passing nursery on her day off and this further confirms to me she is very happy at this nursery. I get updates and pictures
showing me what she gets up to, the facilities are vast, inside and out. There are always loads of friendly staff on site to help and answer questions. This year, in particular, I have been very impressed with how fast my daughter is developing and enjoying herself and would highly recommend this nursery.

Bright Stars and all the staff are absolutely wonderful.
Her key workers are so helpful when it comes to any concerns and work well as a team ensuring mirroring behaivior in both home life and school life.
They are both very good with my child, very understanding yet firm when they need to be with
her.
it has been an absolute pleasure to have them looking after her this past year, and both myself and my daughter will be sad when she leaves for 'big school'. The nursery has a lovely family feel to it, all the staff are so wonderful, always willing to help. I believe my child is now school ready, and that is all down to the amazing staff.

I am very happy with Bright Starts Enfield Branch. My child started attending the nursery a year ago and I am very happy with her development. The staff are very friendly. My child's key worker is also very supportive. Overall I am happy with the nursery and I would recommend it to new parents.

Nice to be able to come into the nursery space to get a feel of what the kids are exposed to. I really like one member of staff in particular, as well as the staff that care for my kids. Was a really lovely evening getting details of my children's progress at nursery. Thank you all.

Bright Stars has improved massively in the last eight months or so since there has been a change in management. My 3-year-old daughter has learnt so much since attending and the range of activities they do is great. She comes home and tells me lovely stories about what they get up to and seems very
happy there.

My son enjoys going to nursery. Lots of creative activities. After a change of the management in 2021, it has seen a lot of improvement. Good communication with the staff. Not too happy with staff changing all the time, but all the staff very friendly and helpful.

I work as a teacher so finding the right provision for my daughter was going to be difficult I thought. I went to Bright Stars and was so pleased. Excellent staff all friendly and approachable. All got to know my daughter even if they hadn’t been her key worker. It has a family feel and they were very
supportive when she was struggling to settle. She formed amazing attachments with her key people and the nursery made her school ready. They also offer an amazing drop off service to George Spicer when the children are part time and settling into school. Something that helped us out as we wouldn’t have managed the part time start with out it. An amazing provision.

A friendly and well run nursery. Both our kids have attended and been really happy, would highly recommend. Our daughter just started reception at school and her teacher told me she was really impressed by how well prepared all the kids from Bright Stars were in terms of self-care, behaviour, and being
ready to learn. High praise!

Our son had a wonderful time at Bright Stars Nursery - Seaton Lodge. He enjoyed every single day there and it's very clear to see the progress and development he has made.


All the staff there have been very supportive, caring and lovely towards our son. The nursery has had a very considerable effect

upon his formative years. Thank you so much!

This nursery was my number 1 choice to check out for my daughter and we both loved it on our first visit. All the staff are absolutely lovely, treating kids like their own, looking after them really well. All the girls are very friendly and caring. My daughter enjoys every day spent there, always
happy and does not stop telling me about her days. Also, all children get lots of activities they need and are developing great. Changes are very obvious.

My daughter started the nursery when she was 2 years old. She could not speak English. She was also used to eating food cooked only by me. She settled in really quickly. She started loving the staff, her friends, the food and new learning experiences. She used to hold my finger and ask me to take her
to the nursery as soon as she wakes up in the morning.
Also, her communication skills were improved rapidly and she became a very confident young girl. Also, the nursery staff encouraged her to explore painting, craft and other art. She has started loving reading, singing, creative art. She loved the parties and celebrations.
The nursery took very good care of her dietary requirements. She learnt socialising, making friends, also her routine was set up very well.
The access to parentzone app is so useful. I can check her daily routine as and when I want. They also used to upload her pictures and videos of her.
I thank all the staff at Bright Stars nursery for supporting us.

My child attended Bright Stars from 2012 up to 2017. During this period, the nursery has always had the same manager, chef and some staff, meaning they all got to know my child really well.
From the beginning, my child and myself were made to feel very welcome.
The nursery is always clean and you
are always welcomed in by a staff member or management who are always smiling and showing an interest in your child.
This is the only nursery I personally know of where the management also work in the room with the children and I even see observations taken on my child during the day by management (this is in contrast to my older child's nursery where the manager just sat in the office).
Also, the manager always seems to know every child and how their day has been.
I would say the best thing about this nursery is the manager and staff that have been there a long time and show real love and care to my child as if they are family.

My daughter has attended nursery for roughly a year and a half. In that time she has excelled in her speaking, confidence and overall development. Bright Stars were great at helping and supporting our daughter with toilet training and at almost three years old she is fully toilet trained. We are grateful
and happy with the care, support and kindness Bright Stars have shown to our daughter. Her personal key workers are truly amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Kindred Enfield Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.847 for Kindred Enfield Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 Kindred Enfield Nursery & Pre-school is based on 20 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
