Inspector highlights
- The leadership and management of this nursery is worthy of dissemination to others. All staff, managers, senior managers, and directors have the same vision: to provide only the very best early years experience for each child and their family.

- In all rooms of the nursery, staff's interactions with children are of the highest quality. These contribute excellently to delivering the curriculum content according to every child's needs and preferred learning style.
- Staff give children a rich set of experiences that promote an understanding of, and respect for, people, families and communities beyond their own.
- Without exception, staff are eager to share their extremely high levels of enthusiasm for their role and demonstrate this in all that they do.

My daughter has been at Bright Stars since November 2016. The staff at the setting are extremely committed to meeting the children’s needs. They are always friendly and welcoming. They have always supported my daughter with settling in and transitions into the next room. The team are great at supporting her with her development needs. The social aspect of nursery has also supported her social skills and her self confidence, which is extremely important to us as a family. She really enjoys her days at nursery and is thriving through the hard work and dedication of the team, thank you. Craig and Clair Cloke

Both my daughters attend Bright Stars and they both love going. The staff are very brilliant with them, really focusing on the children's development and social skills. There is lots to keep them busy and learn indoors, with a large outdoor area to explore as well.

From the very first visit to every pre school day this pre school gets my vote. The office staff are very professional yet friendly, approachable and listen, the ladies in the pre school room and very attentive, personable, listen to the child’s needs and are supportive with every step of your child’s progress and my little girl loves going to pre school! Im glad I went with my gut instinct from that first meet and chose Bright Stars, everyone works very hard here and deserves recognition.
