Both of my daughters have attended this wonderful nursery, starting from 12 months old. My eldest has just left to start Reception, and I can honestly say she was more than ready thanks to the fantastic start she got here. The care, education, and support she received were second to none. My youngest daughter is still attending, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s growing and developing in such a warm, nurturing environment. The nursery has a real family feel — all the staff are incredibly welcoming, and it genuinely feels like a second home for our girls. Parental involvement is a big focus here. They’re always finding ways to get families involved, whether through events, updates, or just keeping the lines of communication open. They go above and beyond with themed days and special activities, making every week fun and exciting for the children. We’ve been supported through so many parenting milestones — from potty training to starting school — and have always felt like we’re in it together with the nursery team. They’ve never made us feel alone, and that kind of support is truly priceless. We’re so grateful for everything the nursery has done for our family. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and inspiring place for their child to grow

My daughter has been at bright stars since January and the staff in both the toddler room and the pre school room have been absolutely lovely. They take the time pickup to speak to me about her day, always have a bright manner and smile, receive her with care and enthusiasm and this is consistent with every member. Any concerns I may have had have been met with a wonderful attitude. My child is very fussy and the team, particularly the management team, have been fantastic in creating action plans for her. At the moment she is still very fussy with her food but I am hopeful that her time at bright stars will help her become more comfortable with eating different foods. Would certainly recommend this family run nursery!

I honestly can’t recommend this nursery enough! My little boy started here 5 months ago at 22 months old and we’ve already noticed how much he’s thriving. When he started he was still yet to start talking but the staff took their time to understand his ways of communicating. Since then he’s started babbling more and even saying a couple of words. I’m always updated about what he’s up to throughout the day and on pick up there’s always someone to tell me about his day. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and you can tell they really care about the children. My little boy absolutely loves it here and has created lovely bonds with the staff. I know he’s so happy when he’s there and he even points to go back sometimes after pick up 😂 I can’t thank everyone at Bright Stars enough for being so amazing!

This nursery is truly amazing! Both of my children attend here, and the staff, managers, and owners consistently go above and beyond to ensure the children are well cared for while having fun and learning. As a parent, seeing my children enter the nursery full of smiles and excitement to play and learn makes a world of difference. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!
