The staff are great, they are great for including the children. The daycare accommodate different individuals' needs and this was an important factor for us. They do different activities regularly and they will even try to help and assist children with different diet requirements. Couldn't recommend
more.

My son attended Superstars for several years after moving house we have since had to leave due to moving house however we miss it every day! My wee boy came on leaps and bounds after being at Superstars and the staff will go to the ends of the earth to ensure your child is given plenty of attention
and cater to their needs. I couldn’t recommend Superstars Daycare enough and if I had a choice he would have stayed there until he was old enough to do without day-care.

My daughter has been attending superstars for over six months now, she looks forward to going and that says it all really. The staff are all very pleasant, helpful and the communication is brilliant. The app is particularly great, giving updates on my child throughout the day of meals and even pictures
of her engaging in the various activities available to her. For anyone in need of childcare I would highly recommend Superstars.

My child has been attending Superstars since it opened in December 2020. The development in her speech and social skills over the past 15-months has been amazing. The activities the staff do with the children and being able to see everything on the app is great! Highly recommend Superstars!

Honestly the best nursery setting! I have worked myself in daycare, but never came across a more well laid out nursery. The staff are amazing, and the children are doing something different every day. The app shows photos to your child’s profile of what they are doing each day, what they have eaten,
etc is just so reassuring to see the pictures of happy faces having so much fun! My child goes in every day so excited and just absolutely loves it. I cannot praise this nursery or the staff enough and feel so fortunate my son gets to attend such a great wee setting. Even when I first went in to see the nursery, myself and my child were made to feel so welcome, and I just loved the layout. Would highly recommend.

The manager and her team are the best; they are kind, caring and considerate of not only the children’s needs, but the parents too! I sent my little girl to Superstars after she had a bad start at another nursery, and the girls have been amazing and so reassuring! The app they have is fantastic, as
they keep parents up to date with lots of pictures most days, which I love to see as it puts my mind at ease that my little girl is happy! It also lets you know exactly what snacks she has eaten, which is great to know! And the facilities are fantastic with a high standard of cleanliness, but it's not the facilities that win it for me, it's all the fantastic activities and themes they do for the children is amazing! Such a fun-filled nursery with lovely staff. If I could give it 10-stars, I would!

I can honestly 100% recommend Superstars! My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here in August 2021, he has some sensory issues and needs that extra bit of support. I was very nervous putting him into daycare part-time, but I needn’t have been - the manager and her team have taken him under
their wings and have given him independence and room to grow. I only wish I had taken the step sooner - he absolutely adores Superstars. They also have a fab app, so you can keep in contact with staff, and you also get nice wee updates/photos!

The manager and her staff are very professional and passionate about their ambitions to provide a high standard of teaching and care for all the children. Superstars Daycare & Afterschool create a warm welcome to both the parents and the children in a safe, positive learning environment. A flexible
settling-in process agreed with parents in accordance with their child’s needs is very beneficial, as this allows both the parents and the children to be at ease. (My child flew in and loved it from day one. I feel he engaged with the staff and felt safe straight away.) There is also an app, this allows the staff to put updates on for the parents, which again is very beneficial, especially parents that have never sent their children to daycare before and or are a little anxious.
5 out of 5 stars would definitely recommend, and I hope anyone that reads this review that it will help make your decision and you send your little ones to this daycare; you won't be disappointed.

From the moment I went to view it here, I knew it was the perfect fit! I was so nervous, my little one doesn’t leave me ever, and with being in lockdown since he was 18-months, it got even worse, but the constant communication/updates through the app and messages put me at ease. They worked with me
with recommending how many days my little one would work well with, it’s helped give him a routine, and it’s given him so much confidence; he absolutely loves going to ‘school’ and is now fully potty trained, which Superstars helped me majorly. They made an anxious time enjoyable for him. Their app is amazing, I can’t help but tell everyone about it; it helps keep an anxious mummy at ease, and I feel included in his day to day while he is there.
It’s helped him majorly with his speech; they constantly do new things with him, and it’s great to see the progress in him.


I have never felt so confident in a decision as I have with choosing here; even the rate for here is well priced as well. Win-win for us all.

Superstars is a fantastic nursery, has great staff, and my son loves it. He has really developed himself, and he has a ball every time he goes. They have a great app that keeps us up to date with everything he does, and he always comes home happy.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.678) out of 10 for Superstars Daycare & Afterschool 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 3.7 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 Superstars Daycare & Afterschool is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 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 3.678 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Superstars Daycare & Afterschool 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.303

  • 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.
