Have been very impressed with Smiley Stars Pollockshaws. We are moving house so sadly having to move nurseries and our little one has been in the caterpillar room for just under a year.
Staff are always enthusiastic, reliable and helpful. They seem to do some imaginative games and take advantage of
the parks nearby and go out on wee trips at least once a week. There have also been some improvements to the nursery with a new play area outside and other areas. Would strongly recommend this nursery to others.

Best in the area and the staff are very good. My wee one was very happy all the time when he was there. They strive to do everything that is possible to keep children happy. Very satisfied with their service. The facility is very well placed, off from a busy road.

The team at Smiley Stars have made settling my little one such a nice experience. They have taken their time with her, adapted to her needs and ensured she was happy and supported. She enjoys going in and comes home with new skills which is so lovely to see. The team keep us updated with activities
they get up to during the day and having the ability to check in on the app for naps/food eaten is really reassuring. Such a good nursery and pleased we picked this one for our little one to grow and learn.

I appreciate the warm welcome every time I enter the nursery; it creates a positive atmosphere. The variety of daily activities is fantastic, fostering a sense of togetherness among the children. It's a significant improvement from my daughter's previous nursery, which lacked such engagement. The consistent
communication and information updates are reassuring. However, during a recent bathroom visit, I noticed mould on the sink and taps, which raises concerns about cleanliness and hygiene. Addressing this issue would greatly enhance the overall experience.

Reply from Tamara Marashi, Managing Director at Smiley Stars Nursery - Pollokshaws

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.521)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.521) out of 10 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Pollokshaws is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.813 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Pollokshaws is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Smiley Stars Nursery - Pollokshaws 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333

  • 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.
