Really positive experience. My daughter recently moved rooms and her new keyworker was really attentive to ensure a smooth transition. The staff really care and the spaces are great for kids. I'm really comfortable leaving my daughter here and highly recommend Bright Stars.

So far my experience has been positive, it provides peace of mind knowing that my child is well looked after.
I like the app used for posting daily routine where I can keep updated during the day, so I can see what she eats, sleeps, etc.

My son started at Bright Stars at the beginning of September. He started with a settling in week that I found extremely helpful and the staff there was so friendly and helpful, really putting my mind at ease. He has now been there nearly 3 months and can honestly say I have been so impressed, the staff
all have time for you, his key worker is great and they use the parent zone app so you can see what they are up to during the day. My son is really enjoying his time there and his developments have come on so much just in these 2 months. They also do observations of how he's getting on and send pictures over too. I truly recommend this nursery for any child.

The nursery is very friendly, there is always enough staff for the amount of children. They provide good food and the children's equipment is of a great standard. They do lots of activities too. It's great that they have a website and post on it what the children have done that day.

I've been very pleased with my daughter's development since she started at the nursery. I've been very anxious and unsure whether this is the right setting for my daughter but after a few weeks she settled in beautifully and became confident and willing to try new activities etc. The staff members in
the starlings room have been brilliant in reassuring us parents but also giving our little girl as much reassurance and attention (and lots of cuddles) as she needed. I would highly recommend Little Stars at Cheshunt.

I truly believe Bright Stars Nursery is the best nursery in the area of Cheshunt. I have never had to complain about anything at all. My daughter has progressed and improved since going to Bright Stars - everything is perfect. The price might be a little too high but I guess that's normal for the service
they provide to both parents and children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Kindred Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.916 for Kindred Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (395 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 429 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 Cheshunt Nursery and Pre-School is based on 36 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 36 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.
