Both my daughters attend Rising Stars Day Nursery in Markyate and they absolutely love it there. Staff are lovely and accommodating always keep you up to date with your child’s activities. They have been very helpful if I have needed to add on extra days at short notice and with both my daughter's potty
training. I can’t rate this nursery enough.

Where do we start! My daughter started here in February 2023, and it has been the best thing for her! She has come on in leaps and bounds with her speaking and her confidence! Thanks to the staff for always encouraging her and praising her and my daughter being with other children helped her grow her
confidence, they always send a detailed review on what she has done throughout the day with pictures and what she has eaten! They also spend time outdoors, learning about the world, the planes, the animals, and this is all detailed in her report and gives us a great insight into her day. The staff are very accommodating to the needs of each child and really get to know the family and child personally, the chef there is also 10 out of 10, my daughter has a milk allergy and they cater to her need extremely well with a wide variety of food every week for her to try! I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! They are the best in the business! Thank you!

An outstanding nursery that truly has made our daughter feel welcome, included and safe. Our daughter had come from a previous nursery, where she was not looked after and Rising Stars Day Nursery Markyate has given her a new confidence to start again. The nursery focuses on child initiated play whilst
following the national curriculum for learning. In our fairly short time joining the nursery, we have already been invited to parent's evening, sports day and more. If you are looking for a nursery that will love, teach and help your child grow then I couldn’t recommend Rising Stars anymore.

I can not begin to explain how happy I am that my daughter attends Rising Stars Markyate. The love and care they show her each and every time she is there is exceptional and that can be seen by the smile on her face when we collect her. The app used is efficient and always updated so we know exactly
what she has done that day, what she has eaten, how she has slept. The opportunity to play outside daily come rain or shine is another reason we chose this setting. The children are taught skills like helping tidy their plates after food and sign language. Every member of staff knows our daughter even if they don’t work directly with her and it just shows the care and interest they have for all of the children in their setting. Having been at a nursery before this one and having to remove my daughter due to lack of care, I can not recommend Rising Stars enough! Thank you!

My little one has settled in wonderfully at this nursery, I get regular day accounts via the app and she seems to really get stuck into all the activities. She is also getting to try a variety of food that I may not cook at home helping to diversify her palette. The staff are very friendly and immediately
put you at ease that you are leaving your child in their capable hands.

My grandson loves going to Rising Stars. He has grown so much in his social skills and verbal development since joining the very calm setting.
I believe he benefits from the caring staff who have taken the time to get to know him, and what he likes and dislikes.
The staff always give a him a warm
welcome and write up the diary each day giving us the information we need.
Thank you.

I loved this nursery from the moment that I stepped in to view it. All the staff here are welcoming and make you assured that your baby/child is safe.
This is the first time I have left my daughter and they made me as comfortable as I can be. Even giving me a little care package in the morning of
her first drop off which I thought was so cute.
It is clear they take the safe guarding of your child very seriously and have their best intentions at heart.
My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery which is one of the most important things to me and I must mention that the deputy manager is absolutely amazing and is a massive asset to Rising Stars Day Nursery.

My son has been attending this nursery for most of a year now and has developed very strong bonds with the staff. He has so much fun there and is very well looked after. He is also deaf and the staff work hard to make him feel included, for example by using sign language and teaching everyone 'signs
of the week'. This is very much appreciated and has definitely helped him develop confidence and language skills. I highly recommend Rising Stars!

My daughter has attended since June 2022 and we've experienced such a great journey so far! The team are all so friendly and welcoming. The setting although pack away, expands and enjoy pirates everything the children need to explore, learn and free play. The structure incorporates play but also learning
and will cater to each child's needs, which was really important to me. Our daughter's speech and social skills have excelled and she can already read a simple book.
We believe the nursery has really helped her growth. She has made lots of friends with the others toddlers but also all the staff know her too, not just her key worker.
I highly recommend the setting.
Thank you Rising Stars, Markyate!

My daughter has been attending here three and a half days a week for nearly a year now and absolutely loves it. Always tells me what a great day she has had and always comes running out with a big smile on her face. We talk about all the teachers and all of her friends at home nearly every day! She
loves all of the staff and in my dealings with them, they have been nothing but lovely and professional. My daughter enjoys the food there and she has come leaps and bounds in her speech and general learning. They have even spearheaded potty training her and we are nearly done after just three weeks! Would recommend them to friends and family!

A very caring nursery with lovely staff. They have gone above and beyond to ensure our deaf son is settled and fully integrated in the setting. They are supporting his language development brilliantly and have started learning British Sign Language and incorporating a sign of the week into the curriculum
for all children. We would recommend Rising Stars Day Nursery Markyate very highly to anyone looking for a local nursery.

I can't thank the team enough for taking such good care of them

My little boy started here back in October and I was really conscious about him settling into a new environment, as I went back to work. The nursery were really accommodating with organising a phased introduction and gave me a complete run down each day I picked him up, as he settled in and within a
week, he was comfortable enough to nap there! The staff are so friendly and loving towards the children and they really cater to each and every child's needs. Now my son beams with delight at drop off and reaches out to be cuddled by the staff on arrival and even at just 12 months old, he has come on leaps and bounds with his social skills, eating and gross motor skills, since being there. I can't speak highly enough of the nursery and I love getting the breakdown of his day on the app every day, to see what fun he's had and how well he's eaten and napped.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.098)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.098) out of 10 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Markyate 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.972 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Markyate is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 4.126 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rising Stars Day Nursery Markyate is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.526

  • 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.
