  • Shooting Stars Nurseries at Worcester, Worcester
Shooting Stars Nursery at Worcester has an established staff team caring for children aged from three months to five-years-old.

The nursery has four bright spacious base rooms, each specifically designed for a particular age group and are all well-equipped to a high standard with stimulating educational resources and community play furniture.

The nursery area is planned to emulate the child's home environment and as the children progress through the nursery, the balance moves gently but increasingly towards that of a classroom situation in preparation for school.

A delightful secure garden offers the children both open space and a variety of activities for busy hands, designed to be interesting, stimulating and fun.

There are grass and paved areas for active play, a mud kitchen and sandpit for messy play, digging and planting areas, a water wall and construction equipment. The children delight in exploring the nursery's forest school nature area.

All food and snacks are prepared, cooked and served on-site by the nursery chef following a four-weekly rotating menu designed to be both nutritionally balanced and delicious.

Our daughter has attended this nursery for over 2 years now and absolutely loves going. The staff are so welcoming and genuinely care about the children and their development. Staff go out of their way to encourage and engage children in activities and as parents, we feel comfortable that we’re leaving
our little girl in safe hands. Resources are great and the recently refurbished garden is a great space to play and explore.

What a fantastic learning environment!
My little one started last year and has loved every minute of it.
The staff and management team are supportive, creative and encouraging when it comes to developing and interacting with the children.
My little one requires extra support to build communication
and the manager and the team have pulled out all the stops to ensure he gets the help he needs.
I can’t thank them enough for also supporting us as parents too.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with Shooting Stars in Worcester. As a parent, finding the right care for your child is vital and when you find the right place, you just know it’s the place for you. That’s how I feel at Shooting Stars.


My Daughter is in the Pre School room and every day is a hive

of activity. She has so much to challenge her and stimulate her in the room and outdoor area and the activities are always new and exciting. The preschool staff are extremely knowledgable, professional and above all absolutely love and care for my daughter, respecting her as an individual and nurturing her in her own special way.


The Nursery Manager and Deputy Manager are fantastic. They will go out of their way to always help, offer advice and listen. Every day we are greeted with a warm smile and we really feel part of the family. That to me is so important and so special because I know we always have an open door and a friendly face waiting for us at nursery.

Shooting Stars has exceeded all my expectations of a nursery. The staff have an amazing passion and love of children and all genuinely seem to love their jobs. The nursery is welcoming and friendly and I feel more than happy to leave my son there. He has been there since he was 11 months and his development
has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the professionalism and loving attitude of staff at Shooting Stars. The rooms are set up to stimulate and encourage learning and socialisation and the outside space is a huge bonus. He loves the food especially.
The staff are brilliant at keeping me up to date with everything that happens and make me feel so happy and secure. I absolutely love it there and genuinely do not have a bad word to say about the place. I recommend it to everyone.

Shooting Stars is our first nursery and from the moment we walked in there, I knew it was the right one for our daughter. There is a real family feel at the nursery and that’s clear throughout all of the staff.
We get constant updates on our daughter's progress and development. The CCTV system is
something which I think really puts Shooting Stars above the rest. Anytime in the day I can check up on baby and make sure she is ok and it just gives me peace of mind. The food which is provided is always very healthy, varied and home made. The staff really care about our daughter and it’s almost like they are extended family. They spend a lot of time with her and I couldn’t be happier with the care which is being provided for her.

I have two children at Shooting Stars Nurseries at Worcester, both in two different rooms, the care they receive whenever they are there is outstanding and the communication at the end of the day when I come to pick them up is brilliant. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody, the manageress
and her staff do a brilliant job, to love and care for every single child and my boys have thrived there.

We absolutely love Shooting Stars. Our daughter has settled in beautifully, which is a real testament to all the staff who make her day so enjoyable. Key learning and observations are detailed and recorded via an app which makes it easy for us to keep track of her developmental progress. She loves going
to nursery and Shooting Stars have made my transition back to work all the easier, knowing she's in great hands. Highly recommend.

Since our son started in the pre-school room he has been welcomed and well looked after despite a couple of changes of key worker due to unforeseen circumstances. The staff are very attentive and I am always impressed at the variety of activities he has experienced, even in a half-day session (forest
school, phonics, writing, messy play, puzzles, circle time). The meals are very nutritious and the newly refurbished building layout is excellent, allowing plenty of space for the children to stretch their legs even when not outside in the garden. It's good that the children are also encouraged to get involved in regular themed days/activities and charity days e.g. Jeans for Genes Day, Children in Need, Annual Sports Day. Thank you to all at Shooting Stars for your hard work and dedication.

My daughter started in October in baby room, I can’t put into words how incredible the transition in to a nursery was. She was 7 months and our first, so expecting the worst, however, this wasn’t the case. She has amazing bonds with the nursery staff and even gets excited when we talk about them at
home. I feel at ease knowing she is getting cared for so well. Nothing is too much trouble and every member of staff go out their way if needed.
I enjoy the fact I can log in to the camera system whilst she is in nursery to see what she is up to and see her playing happily. She eats so well and really enjoys the home cooked food.

My little boy struggled to settle in initially but since moving up into the next group he has developed a really lovely bond with his current key worker and has come on in leaps and bounds! The nursery interior is great since the renovation with lots of toys and areas for them to access and learn in.
He does different activities every day and always is happy when we come to collect him! I feel like the staff care about him and have got to understand his personality which makes me really happy and confident with his care. Would recommend this nursery. Will be even better when the garden is updated too.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Worcester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.943 for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Worcester is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.943

  • 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 4.879 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shooting Stars Nurseries at Worcester is based on 16 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.879

  • 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.
