Our son started at Bright Stars a month or so ago. He has already settled in really well and that is in no small part due to the fabulous staff that have a genuine passion and caring attitude to their work. Our son's key person is absolutely wonderful and we are so pleased that she has helped our son
so much to make him feel welcomed and loved there. Would I recommend Bright Stars? 100% yes.

Reply from Jane Walters, Director at Bidford Bright Stars

Many thanks for your kind words, all of which have been passed over to the staff. Here at Bright Stars, we pride ourselves on having wonderful, caring and passionate staff that ensure all children are cared for and nurtured to get the absolute best out of them, so they can go on and thrive once they leave us.

My son has attended Bright Stars since he was 10 months old and I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. He absolutely loves going in every morning and comes out full of stories and super happy. The staff are really welcoming and really get to know you and your child. It really feels like they
care about each individual - even if they aren't in the class or know them directly.
Over the past three-plus years he has learned so much - he can write his name, count with confidence, letter recognition and sings so many songs he has learned there. The key worker always encourages him and if there are any issues they find solutions and listen to our perspective as parents. Would choose this nursery again 100%.

Reply from Jane Walters, Director at Bidford Bright Stars

I wanted to thank you for your kind review. Everything we do here is for the good of the children and it is super important that they are encouraged and nurtured into becoming confident little individuals so that when they leave here, they are more than ready for their next big adventure. It has been an absolute pleasure to have your little man here at Bright Stars and to watch him grow and develop. Thank you.

My little girl has been attending from seven months old and is now in the preschool rooms. She absolutely adores going to Bright Stars; she is really stimulated each day, and I particularly like how much she loves the staff and they always respond so kindly and enthusiastically back to her too. As parents,
we have had no problems; we've had food allergies and skin issues to deal with, which staff have been very helpful and careful with. Definitely recommend!

Our own personal experience has been fantastic. This has been from 2021-2023. What makes a childcare facility successful is the operation and staff. The staff here provide my children with a nurturing and engaging environment.
Leaving your children in the care of others is difficult for a parent. Knowing
they truly care for them is such a reassurance. That they will be encouraged to participate, socialise and be consoled if upset.
The education here is creative and has helped my children in their development. To begin to write, count, draw and sing. More importantly, to grow with confidence and as their own individual personalities.
I am grateful for our time here, the compassion and understanding of flexibility when it can be offered to assist with our ever-changing family life.

My daughter has attended Bidford Bright Stars since April 2022 and to say we're happy is an understatement. The staff are attentive, and supportive and have a genuine passion for what they're doing and the children in their care. More importantly, our daughter is happy there, and has made lots of lovely
friends, and her dad and I feel safe in the knowledge that she is in the very best hands. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bidford Bright Stars to any new parents.

Reply from Jane Walters, Director at Bidford Bright Stars

Thank you so much for the lovely words. Children are at the forefront of everything we do here at Bright Stars, and our parent partnerships are super important to us.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.575)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.575) out of 10 for Bidford Bright Stars is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Bidford Bright Stars is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bidford Bright Stars is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.2

  • 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.
