I can't recommend this nursery enough! My little man came on leaps and bounds and was prepared fully to integrate into big school! The staff are amazing, kind, loving to the children and so supportive to the parents. I recommend to everyone and anyone, they made the journey from the baby room all the way up to school so seamless and easy for me and little one! The app they have puts parents at ease through our the day especially when you have a valcro baby like it did! Fantastic and I cannot thank them all enough for the fantastic job they all do!

My little girl has been going Little Stars since she was 5 months old and I can not recommend them enough. The progress she has made has been amazing and it's all down to the lovely ladies who take care of her. They reassure you, help you, and really put your mind to rest. The staff are full of great ideas to help make activities exciting and inviting. My little girl constantly talks about nursery and it's nice to hear her talk about the staff and the friends she's making!

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!

It's nearly a year that my child is going to little stars before and after school clubs. I am so happy with the way that they treated me and my child. Very responsible and respectful. They're very professional in their work.

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 meal plans. Overall very happy!

Lovely nursery inside, lots of fun activities. Food is fresh and great combination, always a good selection of choices. Staff are polite and friendly. They've brought my daughter's confidence on within days of starting her placement. Recommend this nursery to all newbies.

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.

The nursery is brilliant so supporting meet my daughter needs supported us as a family not just my child. My daughter struggles to communicate but the nursery staff are amazing with her, she's happy to go, would recommend this nursery.
06 February 2025
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.

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.
06 February 2025
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.
06 February 2025
Having sent our daughter here since she was 9 months, the staff at every level have provided quality care for our child, which has seen her develop on many levels. Excellent nursery which would be recommended to anyone.
06 February 2025
All staff are really polite and pleasant, they are great with both of my children and I would recommend this nursery to anyone as it is just a good place for your children to go to learn to play and make friends.
06 February 2025
The staff at Little Stars Childcare have been a blessing since my children started nursery in September 2024. Going above and beyond to make sure they are settled, and following routines set at home to help us as parents too. Encouraging and achieving potty training for my eldest, and supporting my youngest emotionally whilst settling in to his new environment. Each member of staff have a 'homely' approach and care for my children as their own, giving them one on one support, love and attention - this is now reflected in how much they love going and I feel such ease dropping them off to people I know care and love them. Special mentions to several members of staff for being my little boys bestfriends. To staff always going above and beyond for each child and making them feel at home.
