Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe

Experienced and friendly staff. My son loves it here, they provide lots of different activities for him. He has come on so much since being here with his speech, building relationships with his peers and how to handle his emotions. Everything they do is all geared up to his educational needs for the future. It is very well run and organised. We have a great relationship with all the staff, they all genuinely care.

My baby is two years old and just started the nursery. I am very happy with all the staff, who are all very friendly, patient, always there to help make my baby comfortable and happy. My baby just loves to go! Highly recommended.

We have been going here for 3 years now. Awesome place. My daughter is always happy going there, as was her sister before her. The staff are very nice and helpful. There are snacks offered for kids. Recommend it to anyone.

Well, what can I say!
When my little girl was due to start preschool, I was looking for a school that would support her needs as she has Down syndrome so she has a developmental delay. She settled really well with all staff, and I feel they go beyond expectations. They treat her like no other, and she’s so happy to wave me goodbye (she sees them as her little family). I have always felt like her development, speech and lots of other things have come along nicely. I appreciate everything they do for us and our little girl. Keep up the good work. Want a good preschool for your little people, please give them a ring!

Before my son started the nursery, he never spoke or communicated in any way, and I was getting worried. After being there 3-months, he was coming home and communicating with sign language and saying little words to us, I was so happy. Stars day nursery has been excellent with him and has even helped with the potty training. Thank you, guys! He now tries to communicate more and is saying more, but is sometimes hard to understand, and he gets frustrated with himself. The nursery has been amazing with this, and they picked up on it very quickly and have done a referral to a speaking and language therapist, he has been accepted, and they will be contacting me soon with a date to start his therapy. He has started to let us know when he needs the toilet, which is amazing. He has come a long way since starting last September, but there are some little habits of his that we need to work on and get him out of, which is proving difficult!
Overall, we are very happy!

Absolutely brilliant. My son loves spending time there; he has made loads of friends. The staff are amazing. The communication from the staff is great. I’d recommend anyone taking their child/children there. Keep up the amazing work.

My son is autistic and nonverbal. When he started, my son didn’t really have much of an understanding, but now he is very understanding and learning to communicate. I was very nervous about leaving my son until I met one particular lady, honestly one of the most amazing and caring people I’ve met. She gave me a sense of security with my son; not only is he smashing it now, but he also has an amazing bond with her, and when I tell him we’re going to nursery, he gets very excited to see her; he adores her, which to me, means everything.

I brought my daughter (3) here with the intention of coming a few times a week just to boost her social confidence. Turns out she comes five days now as she just loves it. Couldn’t be more grateful to the staff that work here who bring out her little personality that you would normally see just at home. You can see the improvements, and you can tell she’s just had a fun day. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Couldn’t thank the girls at Stars Dogsthorpe enough. My little boy absolutely loves going and has really warmed up to them all. Especially one lady; he couldn’t go through a day without her. She’s been amazing with him, and he really does enjoy spending his days with her!

My son joined in September 2022. He had never been in any kind of childcare setting before, so I thought he may struggle, but he didn’t; he was welcomed so brilliantly that he loves going and constantly talks about it at home. He has excellent support from his key worker and buddy, and we are always informed about his day when we come to pick him up.
