Shooting stars have been wonderful from our first visit to helping our little girl settle in to baby room, including aiding us with additional settling in sessions to helping her transition to pre toddlers. Staff are understanding or parent needs in addition to child needs. My little girl is excited
to go in in the morning and you can see how comfortable she feels with the staff. She enjoys all of the activities available, having the selection of books, and also loves the outdoor time. The menu is also varied and our little girl enjoys most if not all of the offerings. Can't thank all at shooting stars for being so welcoming, helpful and kind.

I cannot recommend Shooting Stars enough. As a first-time Mom and someone who works in Early Years Education, I was anxious about leaving my little boy. I felt so at ease when visiting Shooting Stars and my little one bonded with the staff immediately. His key worker was incredible in getting him settled
into nursery life, all of the staff have been so friendly and caring. He's had so many experiences since starting; seeing animals at nursery, the farm on wheels, Christmas parties and a visit from Father Christmas. He loves being outdoors and the gardens at the nursery have a way of making you forget you're in the city. But most importantly, he's happy! He loves going and he's smiley when we collect so happy baby, happy parents! Thank you to every single member of the Shooting Stars team.

Shooting Stars Nursery offers a truly special experience, combining imaginative decor with a nurturing atmosphere that puts both children and parents at ease. From our first day, a staff member, in particular, stood out with her warmth and humour, making settling in delightful. The dedicated team at
Shooting Stars is more than just caregivers; they're passionate educators who create a fun, engaging environment filled with enriching resources. The parenting cam feature adds peace of mind, allowing us to share in our child's daily adventures. The nursery prioritizes communication, and building strong, trustful parent-staff relationships. Community spirit is fostered through events that encourage family participation, creating lasting connections. Children are active learners, exploring and developing cognitive, emotional, and social skills in a supportive setting. Our experience has been remarkable. Our son thrives with new stories of joy and friendship daily. We thank the team for their dedication and wholeheartedly.

I would highly recommend Shooting Stars to all families who are starting their children in the nursery. I couldn't think of a better nursery to have sent my child to! My daughter absolutely loved going to nursery every Monday and Friday. She met the most amazing and friendliest teachers and friends.
Thank you Shooting Stars for the time she spent at nursery she has learnt so much from you all and I'm sure she will keep the lovely memories and will miss giving high fives to you all in the mornings. Thank you!

This nursery is amazing! My son joined the pre-toddler room in September 2023 and the staff were very supportive in helping him to settle. The cuddles and smiling faces put him at ease. The activities helped him to gain confidence. He then joined the toddler room in April 2024. I saw a big change in
him. The amazing staff once again were brilliant at helping him to settle in. The warm welcome and the kindness they show has enabled my son to enjoy his day at nursery. The staff are helping him with potty training and as a result he is doing well with that at home too! His communication is brilliant and he is able to tell me all the exciting things he has done such as playing with the sand, painting and he loves the beautiful gardens. A massive thank you to the team in the pre-toddler room! A huge thank you for bringing out the best in him. We really appreciate your time and dedication. Thank you for taking the time to update us on his progress each week.

We'd recommend this nursery to all our friends and family, our little girl started 3 months and we've noticed such a change in her. She loves her time at Shooting Stars Wolverhampton, the nursery is clean, the staff are all so friendly, and have got to know her so well. I have to say the staff are always
so smiley and happy, they create a lovely environment for children. The food menu is great and we like the access to CCTV so we can see what our little girl gets up to in her day. Thank you so much!

Our little girl has recently started attending this nursery and we have been so happy with the care and experience we have received so far. The nursery is very clean, the children are all well cared for, and all staff are friendly, welcoming and passionate about what they do. I feel confident that our
little girl is in very safe hands. I really like the CCTV access I have as this provides me extra assurance and reassurance throughout the day. I would recommend this nursery to any parents in the local area.

My daughter has been attending shooting starts for 2 months now. From the initial tour to settling sessions with the pre-toddler team has been exceptional! It's very reassuring to know my daughter is being left in the care of some amazing individuals who always go the extra mile for each individual
child.
My daughter had found it difficult to settle in due to being a covid baby however my daughter's key person and room leader both went above and beyond to ensure my daughter settled by providing settling sessions alongside her normal nursery days. From statring to have lunch and breakfast in a new environment surrounded by new people can be daunting for any child however the team at Shooting Stars work their magic in a number of ways to suit the child's needs. I could go on much longer but can't say enough about this nursery and the staff! If you are looking to send your child to nursery look no further!

Shooting Stars and all the staff involved are absolutely fantastic. They provide a safe, warm, loving environment for the children in their care, and staff take the time to build bonds with the children they look after. They provide a wide range of exciting and developmental activities for the children
and fresh home-cooked food every day. Staff are always on hand to help and answer queries. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. It's been an absolute blessing having my child taken care of to such a high standard, allowing me to focus on my career.

We have had a fantastic experience since my little one started in February. The staff are incredible at settling the babies in, and as a parent, they’ve really made my experience easier leaving her very reassuring, and it’s made me feel much better about her being in the nursery for two days. The nursery
does a great range of activities with my daughter, and she really has settled even more over the last few weeks and is really enjoying all the activities, and she adores her key worker.

We returned to Shooting Stars with our daughter after a wonderful experience with our son.
Thanks to the amazing team in the baby room, our daughter settled in within a few weeks.
One lady, in particular, has been absolutely fantastic. She is so dedicated and works extremely hard to make sure the
children are happy and well cared for. Our daughter loves her!
It is also so lovely to see our daughter engaging in the various structured activities set up within the nursery and the garden, including lots of painting and messy play. This has made returning to work for me so much easier.
Quite simply, I know our daughter is in good hands!

Shooting Stars Nursery and its staff are amazing in every way. The nursery is warm, welcoming, and always full of the sound of children having the best time. The staff are like family, they always go above and beyond and know the children so well, they reassure and comfort parents whenever required.
The cameras to look in are so reassuring and you regularly get updates and pictures of your child having fun. I could not recommend them enough.

My little boy started in the baby room at ten months old doing three days per week. He loves coming to nursery and is ready to play. Now he is in the pre-toddler room and has gained strong bonds with the caring staff in the room. He loves the free-flow door leading out in the garden and spends most
his time playing outdoors.

The premises are clean, staff are very welcoming. My child thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery and enjoys the various activities throughout the day and regularly passes positive comments on the meals. I receive regular updates of observations of my child, including pictures and recently also small video
clips.
At one point due to low staff, I did feel that there was a lack of efficiency. However, if I compare last year to now, I would only say that this has majorly improved and my child is very happy here.

We have been very happy with our child's first few weeks at Shooting Stars. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that my child is settled and that we, as parents, are fully reassured before I return to work after maternity leave. My child is nurtured and supported according to his daily needs.
The staff are welcoming and supportive, and the whole atmosphere is friendly and inclusive.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.663)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.663) out of 10 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Wolverhampton 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Wolverhampton is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 4.698 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Wolverhampton is based on 12 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.698

  • 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.
