My child started here a few months ago and its honestly been the best. All the staff are friendly, welcoming, and good with the kids. They provide excellent updates when your child attends and put focus on helping the children develop as well as being competitively priced. Five stars all the way!

A great nursery with lots of updates about the progress of our daughter who loves going in every morning. The activities are very well planned and varied from day to day. Often, we receive photos of daily activities. Our daughter likes the food as well. We definitely recommend this nursery.

Moved my son here from a larger environment and my son loved it. He has come on leaps and bounds and has formed really great bonds with his room team, especially his key worker. They are great at enrichment and making sure there is something new to do every day. So happy with his development and how
settled he is there. I was worried about the use of the outside space as it is separate from the nursery but they go out to the space often and also around the local area. My son loves seeing different things when he is outside and the team manage it so well.

Popped in to support Rising Stars Hemel coffee morning for MacMillan with my grandson, we had a great time colouring in and playing with the toys, Staff were so friendly and made us feel very welcome we didn't want to leave, they can make a good cuppa too. The play area was super clean and you could
see the staff were so attentive to everyone's needs. What a great place and team. Thank you

We are so pleased with how our son has settled into Rising Stars nursery. He has been there since the end of August and we can already see such a positive change in his development and social skills. The staff are all so friendly, they are happy to answer any questions and always have time to talk to
us. Phone and email contact is always great too. The children go outside during the day which offers a great chance to see the local environment and community. We especially enjoy getting a daily diary of his day, it gives us so much detail about the activities he has done, his sleep and what he has eaten. The photos are also wonderful to see. We feel very lucky to have our son at Rising Stars and highly recommended them.

Amazing nursery with the most caring and supportive staff. My son has been going here since it opened in January and has absolutely thrived. It's much like a home from home with lots of great learning opportunities. My son runs in every morning without looking back, and always leaves smiling and happy.
They use an app that provides you with daily updates on what your child has been up to, pictures and regular reports on their progress and celebratory moments. The staff are incredibly patient, kind and always happy to help. I can't fault Rising Stars at all and will sad to leave when my son moves up to school. Thank you for everything.

My daughter started Rising Stars in November 2021.
This nursery and staff are amazing! Her speech has come on leaps and bounds, she always comes home singing the alphabet, telling me the days of the week and is really excited to go nursery.

Brilliant preschool. My son has never been away from me, so starting preschool was a big step. The staff made both myself and him very comfortable and at ease. He now absolutely loves it and goes in without a single problem. All staff are very helpful and always there to help with any questions, always
a warm welcome. I especially love the app, where you get daily updates of what your child is doing and photos, you know when nappies are changed, what they have eaten etc. They do not have a garden for themselves, however, they use the local park or the community centre, which my son loves! Overall, an excellent preschool.

I moved my child to Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill to help him prepare for school as I felt he needed support and to learn more about the school environment. My child has loved coming to the nursery and goes in with a smile every morning. He has enjoyed the garden visits but especially the walks
and visits to the park! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and take time to get to know each child and their interests. The staff have been amazing with the teaching they have given my child and the time they have spent with him to prepare him for school. Before he started I was worried he wouldn't cope at school as he wasn't confident with new people, but now I believe with the time and support the staff have put in my son is now ready to take the next step and is now school ready. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! They are amazing!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.965) out of 10 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 Rising Stars Day Nursery Grove Hill is based on 12 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
