Stars Pre-School Woodston cares for children aged two to five years within the ground of Woodston Primary School. 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.

The Pre-School provides endless opportunities for children to thrive. 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! Each child is considered unique and activities are individually tailored to enable them to express themselves and explore their individuality and personality, while closely following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

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.

My daughter has made lovely bonds with the practitioners at Stars nursery and regularly talks about them at home. She loves to be busy, and there is always something to do and bring home! The great scheme of developing children's pre-school skills before school is also apparent when she comes home with
lots of new information and skills. I would recommend Stars Pre-School to anyone who wants a friendly environment for their child.

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

So lovely to hear. Thank you so much for your kinds words. We love having your daughter with us, and she loves the time she has with us too, learning new skills and always talking about her activities inside and outside of Preschool to us and her friends.
Thank you so much for your recommendation too.

My son looks forward to going to school and is always full of smiles when I pick him up. I think the staff are exemplary in teaching and keeping the children excited about learning. I love picking my son up and hearing about his day or any new songs as he likes to sing and play with his little sister.
I have seen a great change in my son after sending him full time getting ready for receptions. I am grateful to his teachers.

My son loves the place. The environment is excellent for learning. Many creative activities. Unfortunately, after leaving her contact with staff is worse. I'm happy that the manager is always happy to help.

I can't praise the staff and management at Stars Pre-School Woodston enough especially during Covid-19. All possible cases were dealt with efficiently and I was notified straight away. Since my son started almost 2 years ago, I have always felt at ease and reassured that my son was looked after as their
own. My son goes into nursery now so much more confident and rarely goes in sad or upset due to leaving me. He goes to 'big school' in September, thank you all for an amazing experience and first stepping stone in his learning and school life. We will miss you all.

The ladies/girls are all lovely and are really kind, caring and supportive with the children and adults/parents. My girl really enjoys nursery. I can't recommend the nursery enough they were especially great through the lockdown - sending work for me to do with my daughter and was always in contact.

My daughter really looks forward to going to nurse. Since starting, her speech has come on loads, and she's so much more confident. She's not only made some lovely relationships with other children, but also with the staff. Can't fault the staff; they're lovely, nothings ever too much trouble for them.
My daughter goes in with a smile on her face and comes out with a bigger one, so I know she's always had a fantastic day with all the amazing activities that the staff set daily. Definitely puts a parents mind at ease when their child is attending such a safe, clean setting like this one.

Although my daughter recently started going to Stars Pre-School Woodston but right from the day I called to enquire about the school, I have had a positive feeling about the standard of the school from the response of the staff I spoke to. And I am happy for my daughter to attend, she is happy too.
Her response every school day about her day so far has always been I had a good day, so much fun today. She is four years old and has a practice of talking about events of the day she witnessed.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.738 for Stars Pre-School Woodston is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 328 Ratings = 4.738

  • 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 28 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 28 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.
