Stars Pre-School Welland is a nursery where children can attend the nursery in sessions between 8 am – 1 pm, or from 1.15 pm – 4.15 pm.

The nursery can also offer 1 pm – 6 pm session and arrangements to accommodate children in receipt of the funded 30 hours entitlement.

The children learn through play and interaction and are encouraged to explore their environment with a qualified key carer where they build strong relationships with children, parents and families right from settling into nursery through to the transition to school.

The key worker will do individual observation, planning and assessment in line with the early years foundation stage curriculum (EYFS).

There is also an excellent outdoor area where the children are encouraged to explore their natural world.

I could not ask for my 3-year-old to go to a better preschool. He was very upset for a few weeks leaving me, but the staff here have been very supportive and understanding. He now loves preschool. It is well organised, friendly, helpful staff, who go above and beyond to support you. Would 100% recommend
Stars Pre-School Welland to everyone I know!

Fantastic experience with this playschool. The staff are kind and very friendly. I have had all four of my children go to this playschool and would recommend to anyone to send them there. Communication between the staff and parents is excellent. My children loved/love this setting. The staff are amazing!

One of the best decisions I've ever made is choosing Starts Pre-School Welland for both my children. My little girl is attending pre-school currently. She has a great time there, and she is always extremely happy being there. All workers are friendly, helpful and very professional. I am very happy that
my both kids had a great journey there, and I do really believe they will always remember this amazing place deeply and gratefully in their hearts.

My eldest joined this nursery in 2018. My experience was really good with the nursery, so I selected the same nursery for my younger daughter. She joined this nursery when she was two. I must say the staff are really helpful, especially the manager and another member of staff.
My daughter loves her
nursery, and I'm glad because my daughter loves to go there.
It is safe and clean for your child - highly recommended.
Thank you to the wonderful staff.

Amazing staff, all friendly and welcoming.
My child loves going to nursery as she has so much fun and all her needs are met.
Staff are always available to talk if you are worried about your child.
They have different activities for the children each day.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
I'm sure going to miss all their smiling faces next September.

I have two daughters three and four. My eldest used to attend the school, and she loved it. They supported me through her different learning ways and understanding how to help her improve. Thanks to her key worker and her one to one with my eldest, she is defiantly excelling in primary school. My second
child is doing amazing. The way they help children learn is amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my children to go. The staff and the managers are amazing; they supported me and my girls through a lot. Thank you.

My eldest started in January 2020. He wasn’t much of a talker and I had some concerns about his speech delay, but since starting Stars Pre-School Welland, he’s come on leaps and bounds. He talks a lot more clearly. He’s learnt so many nursery rhymes alongside the actions, and he knows the words for
many objects. Every time he comes home, he seems to have learnt something new. He loves the staff there also and has learnt to interact with other children.
Lovely staff - never had an issue with leaving my children in their care.

I would highly recommend Welland Stars nursery to friends and family. Always clean and always friendly. Will resolve issues to high standards and will report back ASAP to parents. Outstanding nursery, both of my sons have gone here, and one is currently still in the setting. Manage and keyworker made
me feel welcome and comfortable when leaving and returning to collect my child, always polite and always smiling.

Stars Pre-School Welland is an amazing nursery. This nursery has a positive atmosphere and a variety of areas inside the nursery and in the playground for the children to learn and explore. The staff at this nursery are wonderful. They are a pleasure to talk to and they are very hardworking. The staff
are very supportive and always ready to help. The staff at the nursery encourage, motivate and help your child to develop. The staff created such a strong and loving bond with my children which made their experience at this nursery memorable. I also feel that my children have become confident and have learnt a lot from this nursery. I only have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery from my own experience. I feel that this is an amazing nursery that deserves a lot of recognition for the hardworking and dedication that all the staff put in. I always recommend this nursery to family and friends. I also recommend this nursery because it’s a brilliant nursery to attend. 10/10

My daughter absolutley loves her pre-school. She is very close to her key worker and has made lots of friends. The staff are amazing and have made her transition into pre-school a wonderful experience for her and for us.
My daughter comes home every day with stories about what she’s been up to, new
information and new songs she learnt. I would definitely recommend StarsPre-School Welland! I’m glad we chose this setting for our little one.

My little girl started here in September, and I couldn’t be more proud of how much she has come on since doing so. She has the best relationship with her key person and key-buddy, and I know when I leave, she will be getting lots of love and care from the staff there.
Being a full-time mum can take
its toll and your esteem when you know your little one needs to go into the nursery. However, I know she’s getting the best care and learning when I do go off to work myself.

We started our journey with Stars Preschool Welland back in 2016 with my eldest son and continued with my other son who started in 2018. They both absolutely loved going to their nursery. The staff are amazing and very caring and the boys treated them almost like a part of the family. They both made
some great friendships and developed some amazing life skills with the help of lovely ladies. I would most definitely recommend this nursery and to be completely honest there is not even one negative thing I can recall related to the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Welland 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.936 for Stars Pre-School Welland is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 Stars Pre-School Welland 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
