Can't thank the amazing staff at Bushfield enough for being absolutely amazing as always since my two little boys started back in November. Both of the boys struggled to settle at first (always been with me) but they have both now settled absolutely beautifully and I generally believe this is all down
to the amazing staff and the relationships they have both built!
Whenever I have spoken to them in regards to anything they have always gone above and beyond to get an answer / find a resolution!
Thank you team at Bushfield! You're all angels!

A wonderful nursery with a warm and nurturing environment! The staff is caring, attentive, and dedicated to each child's development. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped with engaging activities. My child loves going every day and has made great

Both of my kids absolutely adore this setting. Was extremely nervous around settling them into a new place after moving my eldest to this setting and it being my daughter's first time in a nature's setting. They've been extremely attentive and supportive, always willing to work with you to support through
any issues that arise. All staff are smiley, welcoming and approachable. Have treated my children better than I could imagine and they are so excited to go to nursery. Some days they don't want to come home!!

The nursery staff are always positive, friendly and welcoming to all of the families, they are always helpful and try hard to meet all the differing expectations from parents at drop off and hand overs.
I first viewed the nursery on social media and could see that the children really enjoyed all
the beautiful activities that were on offer.
We also love that parents and family members are invited to attend open family play dates to join in the fun.
We are very happy with this nursery.

Lovely staff who are still looking after my 10-month-old daughter since she was 6.5 months old. She has dietary needs and so they have given me the opportunity to choose what I can do with her dietary requirements. She is already walking and seems to be thriving at this nursery which I wanted her to
socialise in and learn new experiences. Experienced paint, sensory experimentation, water play, outside play, seasonal fun, new toys and socialised. Settled in well after the initial settling-in process, despite me thinking she may not. Good use of the app, daily pictures and verbal updates when I collect her on how she has eaten/slept/nappy changed etc. and I have always had good customer service from the emails sent. I was in reception and heard how a child who pushed boundaries was dealt with and it was very calm, clear boundaries and the child understood what had happened and apologised. As a pivotal teacher, I think this was very good. Bubba was changed frequently too. Would recommend.

We are very satisfied with Stars Day Nursery Bushfield. The staff are friendly, they always welcome you with a smile, knowledgeable and professional. My son has been going to this nursery for one and a half years and he has made a lot of progress, especially with his speech. He loves going to nursery
and he always has a smile when I drop him off or pick him up. I highly recommend this nursery.

My little one is 3 but functioning much younger. Stars Day Nursery Bushfield has been exceptional in dealing with his needs, showing compassion and understanding of his feelings. They are always happy to offer advice and help with tips to make our lives easier. All the staff are wonderful and I would
recommend this nursery. My little one is always very happy to go and play and he has bonded with his key worker.

We have had the most amazing experience with Stars Day Bushfield. My son settled really quickly within his first week here and we saw him transformed into a very friendly little boy.
He was always happy to go every morning and we could genuinely see the love from the entire staff.
He was engaged in
a good variety of activities and he enjoyed various healthy meals and snacks too.
It is quite sad that he has to stop going because we are relocating abroad and we can only hope that we get a nursery as good as this.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was six months old. I am continually impressed by her speech, development and growing confidence in terms of her social skills. This is absolutely a reflection of the incredible staff that work with her, who she adores. My daughter enters and leaves the

Our little daughter has been attending this nursery since she was ten months old; she is now four years old, and I can't even begin to say how wonderful the staff and the setting are! We had an amazing experience, and if we had another baby, he/she would definitely attend Stars Day Nursery in Orton
Bushfield. I love that the staff are trying to create a home away from home for our children, and the experience is very personal; they get cooked meals and engaging activities for everyone, and at the end of the day, every parent gets a quick chat about their child's day. Absolutely wonderful people and I'm so happy my little one got to know them!

We love the nursery. My daughter doesn’t want to go home at the end of the day. She’s been going there for four months now and has never cried not wanting to go in. She loves all the staff. We had some incidents, but they have addressed and resolved the issues. She has learned a lot of things since
she’s been there.

The team at Stars Bushfield have been amazing for our son since he joined in January 2022, aged nine months. He is always excited to see the staff in the morning and always leaves with a smile. The staff clearly work hard to build a relationship with the children. They regularly do a wide range of activities,
often linked to current events (eg Christmas, Valentine's Day, Children in Need, World Book Day etc), and our son is proud to bring home things he has made or created. Our son is always well-fed and enjoys the meal times at Stars. The communication from staff is excellent, with frequent updates using the Baby's Days app, with lots of lovely photos of the things they get up to each day. Cannot fault the service we have experienced so far.

I would highly recommend this nursery setting to anyone looking to place their child in a nursery for the first time. All the staff go above and beyond to ensure your child thrives to their best ability. The level of care and support that I have received has been phenomenal. Everyone is so friendly
and down to earth, and the level of professionalism is outstanding. The support they provide with SEN children is absolutely brilliant. The management team are honestly amazing. I can not thank everyone at the setting enough for everything they have done.

The team at the Stars Day Nursery Bushfield has been fantastically supportive with our baby settling in. The nursery was the last thing we thought of, but work and uni compelled us to make that tough decision. We really weren't sure, and the siblings even objected to the idea of a nursery. However,
upon meeting two particular ladies (the way and manner she held the babies) on my first visit and how well kept the environment looked, I had made up my mind even before confirming with Dad. They took the time to study our baby to know the likes and dislikes and made it possible for our baby to settle. A miracle baby after 11-years, being pampered at home is an understatement, so we knew it would be a struggle to settle in, but the lovely ladies and the whole team made it bearable for us as a family. I would personally recommend that any concerns, go via one particular staff member, she is such an awesome, loving, and caring mother. Big thanks to the lovely, smiley ladies.

We have currently had our child in this nursery for just over a month now, and the whole experience so far has been very satisfying. We are particularly impressed with the daily interaction through the app. This allows us to follow our child's progress whilst providing us with a great insight into the
manly daily activities and adventures that take place. Great work by all the team at the nursery, which is always very much appreciated by two happy parents and one happy child.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Stars Day Nursery Bushfield 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.830 for Stars Day Nursery Bushfield is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 Day Nursery Bushfield is based on 12 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
