Couldn't ask for better care and provision for my child. He loves nursery days so much and is always happy to attend.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they all seem to have a special bond with the children.
There is an online portal which keeps parents updated daily on things like what
food they have eaten, sleep times, achievements, observations, and weekly updates highlighting what the children have been learning about that week and what they will be learning about the following week.
5 stars from us!

My little one has formed a beautiful bond with the staff here, they are caring, supportive and encouraging him to enjoy learning through play and various activities. I cannot fault this care setting and would recommend it to others. I would even go as far as to say it has been better than sending him
to the child minder which we had previously being with children of the same age has had a real positive impact on his development

Excellent staff. My girl has always lived going to nursery here and the care she receives is commendable. The staff have a very caring nature and ensure the child is supported in all aspects of growth and development milestones. Fun activities planned throughout the week keeping the kids engaged. Good

Wonderful nursery! Great staff!
My youngest daughter has always taken a little longer than my eldest to adapt to new faces.. the staff at Seabridge little stars have been fantastic with her and she really enjoys being at nursery. Great outdoor area and lots of choice of toys/games and early learning!
The staff and especially the manager have always been really accommodating and I cannot recommend them enough.
Ideal location for elder siblings in Seabridge school and will help with easy transition to big school.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she waves us off smiling when we drop her off in the morning. They do some amazing activities and she eats some lovely food, we love getting photos throughout the day to see what she is up to. All the staff are so welcoming and have really taken the time
to get to know her. We were nervous as she was only 9 months when she started but she has come on leaps and bounds already since starting after Christmas, we are so glad we chose Seabridge Little Stars for her.

Amazing!
The staff at this nursery go above and beyond in their care for the children within this setting. My daughter has been attending for over 6 months now and we have seen her come on leaps and bounds since starting. She has never been unsettled since starting and always has a smile on her face
when she goes to nursery which as a parent is all you could want. I love that it is a smaller setting and feel that this has an impact as all staff members are involved and know her individually which make it more intimate and meaningful as she spend a lot of time there.
10/10 would recommend!

I highly recommend Seabridge Little Stars Childcare, they have been amazing with my little boy since he started last year especially with my boy having additional needs. All the staff always go above and beyond and I am very settled in knowing that my little boy is being looked after to the best standard
that the staff can give. I would not want my little boy to go anywhere else all the staff are great.

Welcoming, patient and caring staff. The love in the nursery is so lovely to see and the children come on incredible! Wouldn't recommend a better nursery. The children have lovely meals and lots of activities to do while there. The staff document the child's day and are quick to share the children's
milestones. So glad we chose Little Stars Seabridge.

Our son absolutely loves his time at this nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the care and support he receives. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive, creating a safe and stimulating environment where he thrives every day. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of engaging
activities both indoors and outdoors, ensuring a great balance of learning and play. The outdoor space is fantastic, providing lots of opportunities for fresh air and exploration, which our son thoroughly enjoys. We've noticed such positive development in his confidence, social skills, and overall happiness since starting here. The communication from the nursery is also excellent, keeping us informed and reassured about his progress. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will be truly cared for and encouraged to flourish. It's been a wonderful experience for our family.

We're really happy with Little Stars! Most importantly, my child loves it there, which gives me so much peace of mind. The staff are genuinely caring and loving toward the kids, creating a warm and nurturing environment. There are plenty of activities to keep the children engaged and learning, and my
child always comes home excited about what they've done. The nursery does have a strict sickness policy, requiring 48 hours at home if your child is unwell, which can be inconvenient-especially as fees still apply during that time. One small issue is occasional gaps in communication through the app. Sometimes details about meals or nappy changes are missing, and it can be unclear if certain things, like bowel movements, have been tracked accurately. Overall, my child is happy and thriving, and that's what matters most to us.

Since attending Little Stars, my little boy has come on leaps and bounds in every way! He was a very shy little boy and now he is full of confidence! Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff go above and beyond. I couldn't think of a better nursery to send my children to, and I would highly recommend
it to anyone looking for a nursery for their little ones!

Always been happy with the nursery and staff. I would like more notification regarding reading material used and activities planned (in advance, not on the day) which would enable me to encourage my child and familiarise himself with planned reading, etc. - and be able to carry on at home. I appreciate
our lovely British weather, however I would like to see more outdoor activities - walking, foraging and just generally playing outdoors. The outside area of the nursery is full of toys, etc. but natural logs and areas of exploration would be nice, rather than just plastic ladders into plastic 'castles' etc. Perhaps a small raised planting area for the children to grow and look after plants/herbs/veg? I've never been into the nursery but feel that this should be permitted as I'd quite like to see the space that my child spends his day in.

Reply from Vicky Recine, Director at Westlands Little Stars Childcare

Thank you for sharing your feedback; we truly value your insights and will consider your suggestions. Our garden features natural resources, like logs, that the children enjoy exploring. We also hold regular sessions for parents and carers, and we hope to see you at our next gathering. Your involvement is always welcome!

We couldn't be happier with Little Stars Nursery and the amazing care they provide for my daughter. While she might feel a little unsettled during drop-offs, we are always reassured by how quickly she settles in, thanks to the warm and nurturing staff. The regular updates we receive through the app
are absolutely brilliant and give us such peace of mind, knowing she is in the best hands. The activities they plan for the children are fantastic, and the thoughtful keepsakes they send home are so special to us. We're so grateful for the dedication and kindness of the entire team - they truly go above and beyond for every child. Seeing my daughter so happy and thriving makes us certain we made the best choice with Little Stars.

An outstanding provider in our opinion. Little stars really get to know your child and we've had two go through nursery and preschool there as well as using their wrap-around care. Our two boys love it as they go above and beyond to ensure the children enjoy attending every day whilst keeping us as
parents very well informed of everything that is happening.
