Nordic Star Nursery is amazing! I was struggling to find a nursery space for my 2-year daughter and was so happy and lucky that I had found a space for her at Nordic Star Nursery. What a special place to be. All of the staff are wonderful, caring and so supportive.
Many thanks from the heart for all
your hard work, love, dedication, and patience to the children, and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when they are not feeling well, making every day a fun environment to go to which was also very important.
They also learn the months of the year, the days of the week, the numbers, etc, through play and songs that were easy to memorise. This will make the transition from nursery to Reception very smooth.
A big thank you to all the members of staff that work there.

We couldn't be happier with Nordic Star Nurseries. From the caring and enthusiastic staff to the great environment, this nursery just ticks all the boxes. Our son is happy to go into nursery each day and settled in extremely quickly - the staff know him well and he is always greeted warmly and affectionately.
Every single one of the team is truly amazing, so friendly, helpful and attentive. They create an ever-changing array of educational and fun activities on interesting and creative themes. Have to mention the food menu too, so well thought out and nutritious! Communication works perfectly which makes everything smoother. We receive regular updates throughout the day via the app, and it is always lovely to see pictures of our son having fun whilst we are at work.

Our daughter has attended Nordic Star Nurseries for a few months now and has a great bond with her key worker. The staff continuously go out of their way to make it an amazing experience for the children and parents alike. They are always doing new and fun activities around a structured learning plan
and as a result, we have seen our daughter gain new confidence as well as learning new skills. Most of all, you can really tell the staff care and share in your child's achievements. It feels like an extended family.

We just started our daughter at Nordic Star and have had a wonderful experience. The staff have been so collaborative with us on finding a schedule that works well for her, keeping us updated on her progress and otherwise transitioning to nursery. They have helped keep this first-time parent at ease.
Our daughter seems to love the food, her key worker and all the staff. She is excited every time we drop her off and so happy when we pick her up.

Our son started to attend at 14 months, he took around two weeks to settle in and now loves it. I can tell because he doesn't cry at all at drop off in the morning and looks so happy in the photos we are sent. The settling-in period really helped as did his connection to the key worker who genuinely
seems to care, as do the other key workers. It seems to be a great environment to learn in.

My son absolutely loves Nordic Star Nursery! When he started he had just turned one year old and had issues with being with anyone but me and his dad. However, the team made his settling-in process seamless and now he really enjoys his time and has bonded well with his key worker and other members of
staff. I was also really impressed with how the staff accommodated my son's egg allergy, he really enjoys the food which is a plus! The nursery gives regular updates throughout the day of my son's activities and well-being, along with photos. Really great to see! Overall I'm so happy with the nursery, staff and management.

Our son started nursery at Nordic Star when he was 12 months old. We were worried at first because he wasn't used to being around other people, let alone being taken care of by someone other than my husband or myself. With the gentle, supportive, caring approach of the staff, our son has settled into
life at nordic star and is thriving under their care. He has had two key workers, whom he absolutely adores. We have been really lucky to have them support his transition - they are both warm, nurturing and professional.

Our son is absolutely loving Nordic Star Islington! He started just before his 2nd birthday, and all the staff have done an amazing job helping him to settle and get the most out of his days there. He literally cannot wait for Nursery days, and it's a tough job getting him to leave. All the staff have
been amazing, but a massive thank you to all the staff in Järvi room, who go above and beyond to make every moment at Nordic Star fun and engaging. It's been such a pleasure watching him develop over the last few months, and we get daily updates from him listing off his favourite staff, and all his friends. Would happily recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a setting with a difference, and the educational philosophy to back it up. Thank you.

Nordic Star has been absolutely fantastic from their onboarding procedures to their staff and the general environment they provide. We have seen amazing development in our daughter since she began at Nordic Star. The staff are truly caring and we love their energy and enthusiasm each morning. We are
also very appreciative of the daily feedback and calmness of the staff with our daughter. Overall, the staff are wonderful and we appreciate all they do. The curriculum is top-notch and really allows for development. We couldn't be happier with our choice of Nordic Star!
