BLS have been proactive from day one since our son joined the nursery. They have provided vital information on both state and independent schools, as well as weekly guidance on what to prepare for in class — from phonics to suggested home activities. The nursery also provides a truly enriching curriculum and teaches independence from a young age, which has been evident in our son’s confidence and approach to learning. The recent introduction of Academic Success has had a very positive impact on our son academically, in his general knowledge, and behaviourally. The Head of Teaching has also been instrumental in supporting us throughout the 4+ preparation journey, ensuring we never felt alone and were guided at every step. We were successful in obtaining offers from various schools, and we genuinely couldn’t have achieved this without the strong triangular support from BLS between us as parents, the nursery, and Academic Success. Most importantly, the staff are incredibly caring and genuinely invested in each child!

Our daughter started in the Milky Way room at the end of September at 11 months. We have had a really positive experience since she started and Lorna the administrator was very helpful answering questions and setting up funding. The staff are fantastic with my daughter and she has transitioned into the nursery really well and is very happy to go in each day. She also has a very nice relationship with her key worker, and all the other members of staff in the room. Thank you BLS Stanmore.

Bright little stars in Stanmore is a lovely nursery. The staff are all very warm and friendly and get to know the children very quickly. I’m particularly impressed by how efficient and organised the admin/ management side of the nursery is. The facilities and extra activities are also better than any nursery I’ve come across- would definitely recommend to future parents.

As a mum, choosing the right nursery is such a big decision – I viewed several before making my choice – but the moment I stepped into Bright Little Stars Stanmore, it just felt right. My daughter appeared so comfortable from the very beginning, and that feeling has only grown stronger over time. The staff are truly amazing. Every single member of the team is welcoming, professional, and absolutely incredible with the children. You can feel how much they genuinely care, and as a parent, that reassurance is priceless. I honestly have no concerns at all when my daughter is there – I know she’s safe, happy, nurtured, and learning. The range of educational activities is fantastic and so thoughtfully planned, supporting all areas of development in a fun, engaging way. The food variation also deserves a huge mention – nutritious, diverse meals that my daughter clearly enjoys. One thing I really love is how much parents are included. Bright Little Stars Stanmore truly makes you feel part of a community, not just a nursery. The training opportunities and guidance for parents around how to support our children’s development are such a valuable touch and show how invested they are in the whole family, not just the child. We’re also kept so well informed – the daily diary updates, photos, and room access for a period of time mean I never feel disconnected from my daughter’s day. It gives such peace of mind and makes you feel involved even when you’re not there. And honestly… the biggest sign of all? My daughter loves it so much that on the days she isn’t in nursery, she brings me her nursery rucksack like she’s ready to go anyway 😂 LOL. That says everything. Thank you so much to the Bright Little Stars Stanmore team. We are so grateful to be part of your family and couldn’t have asked for a better start to our daughter’s early years journey 💫

Our son has been attending the nursery for nearly 3 months, and we could not be happier with the care he has received. The team consistently demonstrates warmth, professionalism, and genuine dedication to each child's wellbeing and development. We would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other families.
