When looking for a nursery for my little boy there was never a question or doubt to where he would go. My little boy was a lock down baby and when he stared at 10 months old he would cry at anyone who would speak to him, he had never been left with anyone and hadn't had the chance to socialize at baby groups or even see strangers in shops. Now at 21 months and a year at Bright Stars he has grown into such a confident and happy little boy and that is down to the work of the amazing staff at Bright Stars. The staff are very supportive and honest, they would tell me if he had struggled or had a hard day which was very important to me. They helped me and my little boy get used to separation and the fact he settled so quickly was down to the staffs caring and welcoming nature. Bright stars is definitely a home from home and the staff have become an extension of our family. The staff are all highly qualified and experienced and always happy to offer help and support, my little boy gets excited when we talk about the staff at nursery and looks forward to going to see them. Nutrition has always be important to me and I wanted my little boy to try a wide range of foods to build healthy habits and have a positive attitude to food, The food is amazing at Bright Stars, my little boy has always had a big appetite and has always been offered seconds if not thirds on his meals when he wanted but equally is never pressured to eat more than he wants. I get photos daily of the activities my little boy has been doing and the learning and happiness is always clear to see which make leaving him so much easier. Brights Stars approach to educate was what attracted me to the nursery as my little boy is given time and space to explore and learn at his own pace with amazing resources and facilities through the best way possible, play, making everyday fun and magical for him. I felt my little boy had missed out on so many experiences during lockdown Bright Stars has definitely help make up for this with so many fun and magical experiences. We look forward to our days at Bright Stars and couldn't recommend the nursery more.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 9 months old and she is now 4. I will be sad when she leaves Bright Stars in Sept 2022 to go to school. I can't praise them enough, they're a professional, caring and proactive childcare setting. You feel like an extended member of their family and you know they genuinely care about each and every one of the children that attend. My daughter is always excited to tell me about her day and the staff always take the time out to tell me what she's been talking about and ask questions about her home life. My daughter has got used to a range of quality food at Bright Stars and they change their menus weekly and have a great variety of food for the children to try. My daughter has been through each stage with Bright Stars, from the baby room to the toddler room and onto the preschool room and has loved every minute of her time there. As a family we have been through so personal issues and Bright Stars have always been consistent for her and I couldn't thank them enough for their support. If I had more children I would pay the extra for them to attend Bright Stars because they're an impeccable service.

My 4 year old daughter just left Bright Stars to start school having been there since she was 8 months old. We have been nothing but impressed and grateful at everything this home from home has to offer. The staff are amazing and invest so much into everything they do. The facilities are beautiful and the quality of provision is second to none. My daughter loved every second and when we had our second baby there was no hesitation about where we would send her. Second time round at Bright Stars is proving to be just as amazing as the first.

My 3 year old has been going since he was 11 months and I now send my 1 year old as well. I would always recommend this nursery, the staff are amazing both my children come home happy, cared for and my oldest always talks about the amazing things he has done. The reason I chose this nursery is it felt like a home not a just a boring building to place a child, it is so cared for and looked after. The range of activities my children have both done has supported their development and they learn so much every day. It makes me so happy as a parent who has to go to work to leave them somewhere I know the staff care and look after them so well. Every single one of the workers and owners have always been so supportive, they are amazing

Unfortunately do not recommend. My son went to a 1 hour settling in session, after this we decided to place him into a different nursery for various reasons. I notified the nursery immediately the next day that he will not be attending, to unroll him from their nursery before he officially starts and questioned them in regards to some of the fees i had payed as I don’t see why i should have to pay for a month of child care there if he isn’t receiving even one day (£150)! They then proceeded to ignore my emails (3 in total), i rang them on two separate occasions and was told i’d receive an answer that same day (on 2 different days) and again didn’t and was ignored for a further 5 days over email. The attitude over the phone, when i told them he wouldn’t be attending their nursery, was quite simply rude. They asked personal questions into why he wouldn’t be attending and made me very uncomfortable knowing they were this annoyed over me not accepting their place and felt as though they were only bothered about losing the funded hours. This made me very wary of how personal they take things and so now i won’t be advising anyone else to go there.
