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

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.

My children love coming to Stars Day Nursery Oakdale. The staff are fantastic and really support my children. They have daily activities to complete, which make their experience educational as well as fun!

Reply from Sandra Coulson, Nursery Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Thank you so much for your kind words. The children have really settled in well to the nursery, and now they are confident will explore such a wide range of activities in the nursery. Both children have progressed well, developing their skills and making friends.

Great management, a very friendly and welcoming environment.
My child has settled in well - in comparison to other nurseries she went to in the past.

Reply from Sandra Coulson, Nursery Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

Thank you very much for your feedback; she has settled very quickly into the life of the nursery and has started to play with a group of children on a regular basis creating some great play activities and developing her skills bank both indoors and outside.

This nursery has been amazing with my little boy. He did find it really hard to settle to start with, but the nursery, and especially his key worker went the extra mile to make him happy and feel safe. He now comes out with a smile on his face. The staff are very supportive and always let me know how
my son has been. My son has a milk protein allergy, and the staff have been very knowledgeable and understanding about his diet. I definitely would recommend sending your child here if you want a caring, supportive environment for your child.

Reply from Sandra Coulson, Nursery Manager at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale

We are so pleased with how well he has now settled and watched him play with the new friends he has made, this is a true indicator that he is happy and confident in the nursery. Thank you for the positive feedback, we do have a very robust policy and procedures around dietary conditions and understand we need to support children at mealtimes and make sure they still feel they are eating the same as others at the table, creating a positive safe eating environment for all. I am sure we will continue to see him become a very active, confident little boy in the setting.

Stars Day is a fantastic nursery with excellent staff and facilities. My son absolutely loves to go to nursery, and he loves the staff there. The staff make clear communication with us and give reassurance to parents if any concerns. Staff are really kind, caring and approachable.

Star Day Nursery Oakdale for us is and will be by far the best nursery that we could ever imagine finding. Since my sons attend the nursery, there was not even one time not willing to go. He is always very happy to be there. The team are very friendly, and I feel I can always talk to them. I really
cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, and we really feel blessed that we found a space in such a lovely nursery. Thanks to all the team.

Oakdale nursery is a fantastic setting. All staff members and managers go above and beyond with the children in their care. They look after my daughter extremely well, and she is always happy to attend. Quite sad that my daughter leaves this year! Best nursery in the area!

I write this review for the whole time my child has been there. What an amazing group of staff at the nursery. We are so grateful for all the support, advice and care you give to both our child and us. Through challenging times, we worked as one and can see such a change and improvement in my child's
life. I just thank you all for this sincerely. My child loves to attend your nursery and talks with many friends; this is all down to the dedication and understanding of your fab team! Thanks again.

The best, so caring, understanding and patient with our boy, who has taken longer to adjust to preschool... especially in different and difficult circumstances. He has come on heaps and that is credit to all at this nursery, especially his key person. Thank you so much for everything you have done and
do.

My son joined last year in the middle of the pandemic, and I found the whole team very comforting and knowledgeable in helping my son fit in in these unusual times. They are friendly, and I feel I can always talk to them, and they always tell me and give me input. Also, they don't just watch him, they
care for him helping with speech, toilet training tips etc. My child seems to love it and seems happy and fulfilled there.

My daughter is in Stars Day Nursery Oakdale – she absolutely loves it. Even on weekends, she is asking if she can go to school. Teachers are brilliant and friendly – each day we received feedback and a small review of my daughter day. I really hope we will be able to send our next baby there. I think
this is the best recommendation! I much appreciate all time you invested in our pressure! Thank you.

My daughter has attended this nursery ever since they opened. We tried few different nurseries before, and she never settled well, but with the Stars Day Nursery, she pretty much loved it from the very beginning.
The staff are great, and the kids love them.
I, myself, cannot recommend this place
enough. Friendly, helpful and clean.
The best one in the area.

My son really enjoys his time at nursery and talks about what he has been doing when he gets home. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. The managers go out of their way to help if needed, such as adapting things if the children want to approach something differently or helping out with queries
around hours and funding. The children do a wide range of activities and spend lots of time outside. I'd recommend the nursery to anyone. Thank you Stars Day Nursery Oakdale.

This is a fantastic nursery. I am a teacher and cannot fault the outstanding quality of care, education provision and love my children have received. One of my children left last year and has thrived at school. My youngest is currently at Stars Day Nursery Oakdale and he will be leaving for school this
year. My children have enjoyed their early education, leaving me with a smile at the start of the day and leaving shouting bye to all of his friends and adults. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

All the staff are so lovely here. My son loves his time at nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since he started. Despite very trying times, we are greeted with massive smiles every morning. I really cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, a fantastic job by the whole team.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at the preschool. The staff are all so attentive, very easy to approach and always so friendly. They have all gone above and beyond. During the pandemic my daughter hasn’t stopped going and she is such a happy little girl, she misses the staff during holidays.
The staff have kept the doors open and always give me a break down of my daughters day. My little one loves the food and even requests it at home.

The staff are truly amazing and really care for the children.
My daughter loves going to nursery and always says she's had a lovely day when we pick her up.
There are pictures and updates sent, so know what she's been doing for the day.
Can't fault them; they have gone above and beyond throughout
Covid.
Couldn't wish for a better nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.863 for Stars Day Nursery Oakdale is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 13 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 13 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.
