The purpose-built indoor and outdoor environments promote creative experiences to inspire play and learning, by providing resources that every child who attends Pre-School can learn through play.

Whether your child loves the great outdoors or enjoying messy play there is something for everyone to have a wonderful day at the Pre-School!

The Pre-School has an enthusiastic team who are all highly skilled, caring and supports all children to help them grow in confidence and develop physical, mental and social skills. Each child is assigned a Key Person who works closely with them to support their emotional and educational development during their time at the Pre-School and always providing those much-needed cuddles. The team has strong parent partnerships and are always welcome to meet regularly with their child's Key Person to discuss their child's progress.

Nursery offers a wide range of activities, resources and experiences to stimulate and engage your little one. Having so many different things for your child to discover and explore, helps to develop their interests and encourages them to try new things out for themselves. Every member of staff is kind,
welcoming and caring. As a parent, you feel reassured that your child is safe and most importantly, happy!

Reply from Jemma Lane, Manager at Stars Pre-School Woodston

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback it means a lot to us. We love how happy your little one is and she really enjoys her time with us!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Stars Pre-School Woodston 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.766 for Stars Pre-School Woodston is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 Woodston is based on 27 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 27 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.
