Myself as a parent and my daughter who attends this nursery both find it an amazing nursery.
The staff are all so lovely and welcoming, my child loves all the teachers here.
The setting always looks lovely and tidy and clean and different activities and toys are set out daily. I would highly recommend
this nursery and am pleased my child attends here.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. They always update me about my child's day at the nursery. Most important thing for me is seeing how happy my daughter is when she's going in.
Since she's started going to the nursery until now, I see a huge difference on her. Thank you all for making her
morning always exciting.

Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe Day Nursery is a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for young children. The nursery is well organised with a variety of interesting activities that encourage learning and play. The staff are highly trained and attentive. They ensure that each child received individual
attention. They briefed us at the end of the day the progress of the children an suggest to us ways for further improvement. The children's routine include creative play, outdoor activities and early learning exercises. These are very helpful for our child development. Hygiene is good.

I have been sending my little girl from November 2025. Stars Day Nursery has been extending all sorts of support to my girl's physical, social and communicative development. The staff have helped me to take my girl through various challenges and tasks like potty training. I would say all the staff/manager
are compassionate, caring and highly dedicated in looking after these children. Thank you.

I highly recommend this nursery. The ladies are very nice and caring towards children, high quality of teaching. They really try hard and take care of every detail so that the child feels good. The ladies take care of what the children eat, they always notice when the child hurts himself, and this is
very important. I am also very happy that my child attends the session when I need to go to work and I have no one to leave him with before my husband comes back from work. And when I pick up my child from nursery, the ladies always tell me what the children did. I recommend it with all my heart.

My daughter loves the Pre-School. The practitioners are polite and helpful and keep me up to date on my daughter's learning. My son attended the pre-school so I knew it was the right choice for my daughter.

My son wasn't comfortable at the very beginning. Stars Pre-School team has provided my son such a warm comfort that now he likes only school. Since he wants to stay longer for school. He has been cooperating with his friends and has been learning a lot of things. They have very experienced carers, they
give us information. Especially the manager and two other staff members in particular, they are stars. I hope they are provided more respect.

Since my daughter has been going to Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe, her confidence has come up loads, she has learnt loads, the teachers are amazing. My daughter loves going to nursery, she loves all the teachers as they help her, explain to her, and spend time with her, my daughter is always talking
about her teachers. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents as my daughter has come a long way since starting with her people skills, writing, learning her ABC's and the teachers are amazing, even helping myself with nursery and school bits when needed. They have gone above and beyond for us.

Today we had a stay and play session. I felt that all the staff were extremely helpful and made sure all the children and parents had plenty to do to keep us all occupied.
When we first entered, it was so nice to see all the children so calm and relaxed enjoying a story and even though we were a distraction,
the children still engaged with the teacher who was reading.

Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe staff have been amazing. They have greatly attributed to my child's development, emotionally and socially. They made sure that we are always updated about my child's progress and their daily activities. I would definitely recommend Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe to my friends.

My child has been attending Stars since end of April 2021. He has been happy to attend and it has helped him with speech. Any concerns raised with his support has been given. I can not fault Stars, they have been fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.947 for Stars Pre-School Ravensthorpe is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 Ravensthorpe is based on 19 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
