I am pleased to write this review for Bright Little Stars - Stratford. We arrived in the UK in May 2021, and despite the challenges of a new place a new environment, my daughter settled in very well. All staff members are professional, supportive, and caring. The nursery is very new, hygienic, and spacious,
unlike other nurseries around the area. I did not hesitate to register our daughter soon after the tour and was fortunate to have her attending full-time. I truly recommend Bright Little Stars and trust that all parents will have a positive experience!

Bright Little Stars in Stratford is a very special place. We visited 4 other Nursery’s locally – then signed up as soon as we’d finished the tour! Some key things that stood out were the diversity represented amongst the staff, and the toys and books available. Also impressive is how well the staff
are looked after and the extra-curricular activities...for parents too! And nutrition is clearly very important and a passion of the chef and the manager. The garden is also beautifully designed and full of things to do.
Any anxieties we had about our lockdown baby going to Nursery were made so much better knowing he is in such excellent hands. The manager and her team are naturally kind and thoughtful – the insights they all share with us at pick up show they not only listen to us but take time to nurture relationships with the children.
We feel very lucky to be part of the Bright Little Stars Stratford family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

The settling in period that lasted 3 days was exceptional. You are greeted upon arrival by a member of the senior management team with warmth and professionalism. The tour of the nursery was brilliant and thorough.
Despite the circumstances of Covid they were very flexible and accommodating in allowing
me to be in the room during the settling in phase.
Since then my child has settled in very well and I can definitely attest to Bright Little Stars Stratford being a conducive safe environment for growth, fun and learning

My little one started at Bright Little Stars Stratford in May, shortly after they first opened. The staff have been extremely welcoming and professional from day one, and they have gone above and beyond to help my child settle in. The setting is stunning! As an experienced Early Years educator myself,
I could not have dreamed up a better environment for my child. The communication with parents is top-notch, and with daily observations via an app and the ability to log into the indoor CCTV to check on your child, it really does put you at ease leaving your child as you can see for yourself that they are in good hands. Bright Little Stars also offer free parent workshops and the manager at Stratford is approachable and supportive. We couldn't be happier that we choose to be part of the BLS family!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10 for Bright Little Stars Stratford 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 Bright Little Stars Stratford is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 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 4.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Little Stars Stratford is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.467

  • 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.
