My daughter started in October 2024, neither of us had been apart from each other so we knew starting nursery would be difficult for us both. Everyone was so caring and welcoming, I had updates on how she was settling in and often saw pictures which made me feel at ease. She absolutely loves going to
the nursery and always talks about the staff and her nursery friends. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly and I felt they went above and beyond to make sure my little girl settled quickly by putting things into to make things easier for her. She walks straight in now excited for the day ahead. The manager and the team are wonderful, I feel lucky we found a fantastic nursery for our little girl.

Such a lovely nursery. My son settled in there so quickly and the team were absolutely brilliant in helping with that. He’s so happy there. The staff are really caring and supportive and do such a great job in looking after the children - I really can’t fault them. I get regular updates on how my son
has been each day, which is also very helpful. The nursery itself is on the smaller side but this doesn’t seem to hinder at all as they really make use of their outdoor space and seem to have lots of different activities going on each day.

I cannot recommend this nursery more. Wonderful management team along with the other members of staff. My daughter loves going there every day, she has learned a lot since she first started. Almost every day she brings home some artwork. She sings so many songs and since September her speech has developed
so much. I feel comfortable talking to the members of staff about my concerns etc. They had helped me a lot during the difficult episodes we had. Thank you for everything!

The staff are very good along with the manager and are always able to help when I need extra care for my child.
Could do with a bigger space for children but I understand is not possible due to the size of the building.

My son loves going to nursery, the staff are so helpful, friendly and caring.
Communication is great, I’m always kept upto date and it’s wonderful to hear what my son has been doing during the day. If I have any concerns or need any support they are always there to listen. I have had two children
attended and would highly recommend to friends and family.

Since my child joined the nursery in September 2023 I cannot fault the nursery in any way. The staff are amazing, the setting is great and the care shown towards my child has been outstanding. I would 100% recommend the nursery to anyone and wish my child had longer at the setting.

My experience with the nursery has been overall positive. My son has additional needs, and the nursery has been very supportive. He is preverbal and has been taught to use communication tools (Mackaton). The SENCO representative is always on the ball with his needs. My son is always very eager to go
to nursery as he enjoys being there. I am very happy and satisfied with the service the nursery is providing my son with.

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Hi, thank you for your kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the past months and your Little Oak has made so much progress. Thank you for always working with us as a family. Many thanks.

We moved to Peterborough in May 2022; therefore, needed a nursery for our three-and-a-half-year-old son. Moving from London was stressful, but knowing that we found a great nursery for our son was reassuring. All staff are friendly, helpful, and most of all, approachable. My husband, son and I are very
happy. Staff at the setting are very understanding and listen to our needs regarding our son. Well done to all staff for their continued support and care.

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Hi, thank you so much for your review. It has been such a pleasure working with you and your family, and I am so glad we made your move into the area positive and less stressful - that is lovely to hear. Many thanks.

My daughter is always so happy to go into the nursery and comes out with a smile on her face every day. She has formed such wondering relationships with all the staff at Stars Day Nursery and especially her key worker.

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Thank you so much; she has been an absolute pleasure to have, and I agree - her relationship with her key person is so lovely to see. She has learnt so much during her time with us and made so many friends. Many thanks.

An outstanding nursery setting - Stars Day Nursery Oakdale goes above and beyond for all children - nothing is ever too much of an ask.
I absolutely love all the free play that they offer; it's very child-led, and the staff are absolutely incredible at getting stuck in with all children making sure
their having the best day!
You can see the staff are team workers - making such a huge impact on the nursery!
The ladies are all spoken about very highly in our household by our little girl.
Attending the nursery is such a joy and a positive, happy space for our daughter - I feel at ease knowing she's in such a child-led, calm, joyful environment.
Thanks to all staff at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale for your exceptional support and hard work - it doesn't go unnoticed!

My child has only attended this setting since September but has been welcomed, and I am reassured that he is happy. The staff are caring and seem to be helping his development and helping him settle in, especially after he was off sick for a week and started getting distressed going in.

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Hi, thank you so much for your review. It has been so lovely getting to know your Little Oak and your family. He has really settled in so well now and is thriving.

My experience at the nursery has been up and down due to my child.
I have found getting the support difficult for my child due to needs but they do help to get the child settled.
It's been very hard, due to Covid, settling my child properly.
My child does have a good relationship with the staff
and now starting to get their needs met.
The transition with the new management has been really good and smooth.

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Thank you so much for your review. Whilst there have been obstacles to overcome, you have always been there to support us, to support your Little Oak, so I can only thank you for this. Thank you for your continued co-operation and hard work supporting us.
Many thanks.

Since my daughter started attending this setting, she has blossomed with confidence. She can't wait to go to nursery and is always full of it when she comes home. The staff are so caring and have time not only for the children but to inform you of everything they've been doing. The activities the children
do are lovely, the meals are yummy but healthy, and communication on all levels is excellent. The most wonderful nursery!

Reply from Lucy Tirone, Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It has been so lovely welcoming your Little Oak into the nursery and seeing her blossom and develop these past months. Thank you again.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Stars Day Nursery Oakdale 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.858 for Stars Day Nursery Oakdale is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.858

  • 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 Oakdale is based on 16 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
