My little boy has been going to this nursery for a year and a half he's shy and sensitive but is really coming out of his shell here. The staff are always amazing with him and he comes home at the end of the day saying he wants to go back, so he must have a lovely day while he's there. I love seeing
all the activities they have been doing throughout the day on the app. They have a lovely garden and big clean rooms. It's genuinely such a lovely welcoming nursery and the staff really make a difference being so caring and helpful.

Our eldest daughter has attended shooting stars Stourbridge for the past 2 years and absolutely loves it. We cannot fault the professionalism, the supportive and friendly staff, and know that when our daughter attends she is in a safe environment.
Recently they have introduced Spanish lessons to pre
school 2 which is an added bonus that you don't often find in other nursery settings.
Our daughter has built wonderful relationships with friends and the nursery practitioners, she constantly comes home buzzing with all the activities (and occasional gossip!) of what has happened in nursery that day.

My son has been attending shooting stars for the last 3 years and they have been integral to his development and growth.
Every member of staff has been friendly, encourages him to learn new things and always willing to talk through his day on collection.
Early years education is so important for
our children and I couldn't recommend shooting stars highly enough.

My experience of shooting stars Stourbridge has been so positive. I would recommend anyone to send their child there and know they are in safe hands. The staff are so welcoming, understanding and really know how to cater to the children's needs. The food quality is excellent too. There is an added bonus
of nursery cam to be able to see the children throughout the day. It is great value for money they have an amazing outdoor space and encourage the children to play outside multiple times a day. They are always doing different activities and come back home happy after their day there.

My granddaughter has been attending since she was a baby, she loves her time at nursery. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The managers are always happy and welcoming into the nursery, and can't do enough to help. She has made lovely bonds with the girls in the toddler room, she will often
tell us about her friends and who she has played with. We are so grateful for the amazing care she receives, and the lovely homely environment and fun activities she takes part in.

Reply from Hollie Higgins, Marketing at Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge

From the moment our daughter started going to Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge May 2022, she has developed beyond belief. Her personality shines and her speech is remarkable for her age. She enjoys every aspect of nursery life and has made some wonderful friends. This is thanks to the dedication,
hard work, patience and support of all the staff. Our daughter is now in Pre-School 2 and thriving. She eats a really varied diet thanks to the amazing cooks here, even dishes that we wouldn't dream of getting her to try she enjoys.
The staff are warm and welcoming and they have all got to know our daughter and always acknowledge her. It is such a fantastic nursery. Wouldn't send our daughter anywhere else.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback with us. It's the most rewarding feeling for our staff team knowing that the children feel happy, settled, and inspired in their care.

I have to say, hand on heart that this has to be the best nursery around. My son has absolutely thrived due to the dedication and care of all the staff. My son has additional needs and the nursery has gone above and beyond to make my son comfortable and happy in his environment. The management runs
the nursery with absolute care and kindness. And in terms of myself, I am overwhelmed with the support they have also shown me every single day. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff really do make a difference in children's and parents' lives.

Our daughter started just 1 month ago and has settled in so well! The girls in the baby room are so welcoming and lovely they have made so much effort to help our daughter get settled and enjoy her stay! She has already picked up so many new things since starting and we have noticed a really good positive
change in her development. So far so good and thank you to the manager and the girls for being so accommodating!

My daughter started in the Baby Room in March 2023 and she absolutely loves it. She has so much fun every day she goes from painting to the mud kitchen to water and sand play. She does all her favourite things and even at her age, you can see she loves her nursery days. The staff are so attentive and
good with her, she loves them all and will miss them so much when she goes up to the Toddler room in September. The Nursery is well run and managed, even with handling my countless emails over additional days due to fluctuations in my work. I can't wait to see her grow more during her time at this nursery.

Our son started this nursery back in July. The staff in the baby room are incredible! They helped our son settle in as he was quite young when he started with such kindness by ensuring he was comforted when upset and by easing him into nursery life. In just over a month I can already see a difference
in him regarding his development such as being able to eat with cutlery much better, trying new foods and having much more confidence to tackle situations independently. We are kept updated thoroughly with the app and the camera access gives peace of mind throughout the day. The nursery are really flexible with additional slots too and try to accommodate us where possible. We are so glad to have chosen this nursery for our son. Everyone here does such an excellent job and make your child feel safe, loved and valued.

After a terrible experience with a previous nursery, my husband and I were very anxious about sending our one-and-a-half-year-old daughter to another nursery. We went to look around Shooting Stars Stourbridge and were instantly welcomed. It's such a bright, open, clean and well-stocked nursery. Every
staff member is professional, polite and friendly. Our daughter joined the toddler room in May and absolutely loves it. We are so grateful to all of the nursery staff. Even staff who do not work in the toddler room greet my daughter by name when I drop her off in the morning and that makes the world of difference. My husband and I are so happy we have our confident, energetic, happy little girl back, and she's absolutely thriving at Shooting Stars. I highly recommend this nursery to parents who are looking.

I cannot stress enough how glad I am that my partner and I decided to go with Shooting Stars Stourbridge. Our daughter has been going there since she was 7 months old and is now just over 2. In that time she's built bonds with the staff, made friends and learnt so much. Shooting Stars put our minds
at ease very soon after our daughter started going. We were so nervous and hesitant to leave our daughter there to begin with, but this was due to our own worries as new parents leaving our daughter somewhere rather than a reflection of the nursery. All of the staff very clearly love what they do very much, and genuinely care for the children and make sure that every day is a day full of fun and happiness. My daughter talks about the staff, her friends and her activities there and it's great to see her back home after a day of painting, messy play, reading, earning medals from sports day in the garden and more. I cannot thank all the staff and Shooting Stars enough, I am eternally grateful!

Shooting Stars Nursery always look after my daughter very well. She’s grown in confidence since starting last year and loves coming to the nursery to see her friends and staff members. She starts her move into the toddler group this month so I cannot thank the team enough for how comfortable they have
made her transition by providing her with short introduction periods within the group. Her existing key worker has continually kept me updated during her progress and it’s exciting for both my daughter and myself to take on her next journey in the toddler group at the nursery. Amazing team here at Shooting Stars!

Both of my children attended Shooting Stars Nursery and they both really enjoyed their time there. They were always happy to go in and they always talked about things they had done.
The nursery provides a range of activities that children enjoy and they have great indoor and outdoor facilities for
children to explore and play with.
The staff at the nursery are great and approachable always providing detailed feedback upon collecting your children.
The nursery setting is always clean and they have a cook on site which is great as your children have freshly cooked meals each day.
My children have now both gone to school but they always remember the nursery as “a nice and fun place to be at”.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.986 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.986

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
