What makes us special
Our home from home environment has been thoughtfully created to feel calm and nurturing. Our variety of toys and natural, open-ended resources inspire children's curiosity and sense of wonder.
Children engage in creative and critical thinking within our Forest School play area through active, hands-on learning. They build dens, balance, climb, dig, and plant fruit and vegetables, all while discovering the wonders of nature and the changing seasons.
We design our learning experiences to match each child’s age and developmental stage. With flexible spaces and activities tailored to individual needs, our welcoming environments cater to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
We're here to help you give your child the best start in life. Our approach to education guides children to meet their milestones with flexibility to do so at their own pace.
Our activities are varied and purposeful, helping children to develop key skills, relationships with peers and adults, and a sense of security, happiness, and confidence.
Mealtimes at Bright Stars are a time for children to refuel, be sociable, and learn about nutrition.
We pride ourselves on preparing fresh, nutritious and balanced meals on-site using local and seasonal produce. By encouraging children to explore various tastes, smells, and textures of food, we nurture their sense of curiosity and adventure, leading to an appreciation for diverse cuisines and a willingness to try new things.

Thoughts from our families
My daughter has settled in brilliantly.
The staff have been excellent and always consider her needs. They are very friendly and professional and will do anything to help. We get updates everyday of what she has done including pictures which is fantastic. I am very glad we chose this nursery and would definitely recommend.
The nursery was highly recommend by a good friend.
Our daughter often greets staff by putting her arms out, which makes us feel confident that the staff are doing their job right, as she wants to be there. She can't wait to start playing when she arrives each day and begin joining in with the daily activities. She seems to enjoy all the different varieties of food that she is given.
I'm so happy my son is at this nursery, they have been truly amazing and supportive.
My son has cystic fibrosis and isn't easy to figure out what he needs day to day, but the team have never made me feel like a burden and just adapted to him and his specialist needs. I love my son going here, they are truly amazing.

At Bright Stars, we offer high-quality care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old.
Babies
Our baby room is designed to be flexible in meeting your child's daily routine and our safe and stimulating environment is perfect for babies to explore. Our dedicated team ensure your child's needs are always met and provide them with gentle encouragements and loving interactions to build up their confidence. With access to our secure baby garden, children can experience valuable outdoor learning opportunities.
Toddlers
Our calm and inviting toddler space provides children with a homely and welcoming atmosphere to explore and grow. They enjoy creative activities, small world and imaginative play, story time and singing and dancing. Our toddlers also have opportunities to meet with older children from our preschool rooms, sharing activities across the week to promote language development and support a smooth transition to preschool.
Preschool
With growing confidence and ability, our preschool room is structured to meet the interests of your child and prepare them for the next stage in their learning story at primary school. We focus on literacy, early maths, and social skills, and enable children to develop their language skills through small focused group discussions. Preschoolers also spend time outdoors in our large playground, enjoying sand and water play, construction, and mark making in our mud kitchen.
Out Of School Clubs
Amidst all that learning, there’s plenty of time for play with games, creative activities and outdoor fun.
If children prefer some time away from the hustle and bustle, our quiet area is equipped with reading books and spaces to complete homework.
Whether it’s breakfast to start the day or a hearty meal after school, all of our nutritious food is freshly prepared daily.
