November 9, 2016 at 12:00 amBrilliant nursery, my son looks forward to going and has come on so much. The staff are really welcoming and friendly and always take the time to talk about his day with me and provide me with a daily sheet so I know what he’s been doing and what he’s eaten that day.

December 9, 2016 at 12:00 amMy little boy has just transferred to little stars as we moved house and the Staff are brilliant and so caring my little boy has muscular problems and when he has to be off for appointments they are so understanding he loves playing with all the toys and the other children.

August 4, 2019 at 12:00 amA great nursery in a perfect sized setting – not too big and not too small. I did lots of research before selecting Little Stars for my children when I returned to work last September and this came out on top. It’s good value for money, with certain discounts available too. Great selection of meals and snacks for the children, lovely indoor and outdoor space, with regular trips to the local park and surrounding area as well. The staff are very friendly and the new manager is working hard to create meaningful and consistent interaction with parents.

September 6, 2019 at 12:00 amExcellent staff. Very welcoming. Had a few miscommunications between the parent, child, staff and management when the management changed. But everything was sorted in the end.

July 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy started here in April 2021, although he only does 1 day per week his key person has gone above and beyond to settle him. He has settled and loves his time there. They offer a variety of activities and my little boy always comes home happy.

September 14, 2021 at 12:00 amGreat! Me and my husband carried out a lot of research regarding nurseries. We found Little Stars Day Nursery and honestly we cannot fault it. Our little one started there as a 2-year-old and was very attached to myself. The staff were able to settle her in easily and adapted to her ways. I have only seen her be excited about going to nursery, even on her days off she asks to go to nursery. I remember picking her up in the toddler room and it used to be a struggle to get her home. She’s been very happy at Little Stars. I have seen her grow and become independent in doing many activities. I continue to be surprised at what she can do. The manager and staff have been very supportive in her development. They have helped us through nappy training and her learning. The nursery’s consistent in uploading her progress on the nursery app, which is fantastic. Having a chef on-site, I can feel assured my little one is being fed homemade cooked meals. I know she enjoys them too as she speaks of the food.

January 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy boy is in the baby room he absolutely loves going to nursery the staff are very friendly and easy to talk to. I chose this nursery because it has very high standards and it meets all the children’s needs. My daughter also loved going to this nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to all the parents.

February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child is in the baby room and enjoys going to nursery. My child is also happy when walking to nursery and tells mummy what she’s been doing when I pick her up. The staff are lovely, they look after my little one very well. They provide a healthy variety of food which my little one loves. They also listen to the parents and work with them to help the child in their development.

February 18, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had a good experience so far. This is our first child, and we were very worried, but the staff made the process very easy. The transition and settling of our child has been excellent, and we love the portal where we can see what our child does during the day.

February 18, 2022 at 12:00 amVery happy with all members of staff who have made it comfortable for the kids at nursery. Thank you.

February 25, 2022 at 12:00 amVery happy with the nursery. The care is excellent and puts my daughter at ease. Was very hard as a new parent leaving your child, but she was settled in well and love the nursery. The team and everyone is so polite and always take their time in telling me about her day.

April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amThe best nursery in Peterborough for all three of my daughters. We have been using this nursery since 2014 and still do for holiday clubs. The childcare provided to my girls was amazing, they thoroughly enjoy coming here and feel at home when seeing everyone in the setting.
Biba M
April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have gone to this nursery and they have both loved it. The staff are lovely and friendly. I’ve recommended this place to all the people I know with kids. Sadly my youngest will be leaving here as of September to go to big school but I have loved bringing my kids for the last 4-years.

April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amAlways so helpful and knowledgeable. My little girl has settled in so well. Food is also amazing. Feel safe and confident leaving my little girl there. Love the app so I can see how my daughter is doing throughout the day.

April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amI feel so comfortable leaving my daughter at nursery, knowing that she is so happy there and well cared for. All of the staff are approachable and have made the effort to get to know my daughter. She is encouraged by her key worker to keep developing and meeting her milestones and I think nursery has hugely helped with her speech and confidence.

April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amI registered my son to come to this nursery in April 2021. I moved from a different city and the manager has been outstanding in ensuring my son settled in well with all staff, is always kind and has made our experience absolutely amazing. Two other members of staff are very good with my son and make him feel happy being there. Highly recommended. Excellent nursery and I feel that money is well spent, especially as they’ve got a caring manager and employees. I can see a massive difference in my child in terms of speech and happiness with this nursery compared to previous ones.

April 16, 2022 at 12:00 amOnly the best recommendations! My daughter is attending this nursery now for nearly two years and she is still always excited to go there. Her group educators are always responsible and helpful, she is very connected with them. My daughter is always learning something new and after these two years, she is very independent and wants to do everything herself. I am definitely happy with choosing this nursery!

April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amCannot thank the staff at Little Stars enough for everything they do! I was nervous when my little one first joined at eight months old however I was updated using the baby days app and the staff were so kind and caring I knew my son was in the best possible care. Fast forward to my now four years old who is due to start school in September and I cannot thank the staff enough for preparing him for the transition to school, for everything they have taught him and continue to teach him! He also now eats a range of food, things that I wouldn’t necessarily cook at home and I know he is getting a healthy balanced diet whilst at the setting.

April 28, 2022 at 12:00 amGood dropping and picking up times for full time working parents. My son went to school holiday club for the first time.
He was very tearful on the first day because he didn’t know anyone but at the end of the day, he didn’t want to come home!
The staff are very nice, they have lots of activities, visits to local museums and parks. My son was always happy and excited to tell me what he did every day when we went to pick him up. He can’t wait to go back next holidays!

August 10, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t thank enough all the staff at Little Stars Day Nursery for the way that they take care of my baby boy. My older one was there too and they were the same with him. Thank you all.

December 20, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are very friendly and helpful.
I was nervous about leaving my daughter for the first time without me – she is quite shy.
However, as soon as l met her key worker and l saw how they interacted together, l calmed down.
My daughter is very excited about going to the nursery, she talks about what she was doing there, and she asks about her key worker, even at the weekend.
I’m very grateful, and l can’t recommend them enough.

December 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Little Stars Nursery for sometime now and has shown great improvement in his speech. He loves it here and has adapted quickly when he first began. The teachers are friendly and very helpful.

January 4, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing staff! For my two toddlers, I used this nursery and they have the best care and support for children! I remember I decided to put my son in nursery due to him not having the confidence to mix in with other children. It took him less than a couple of weeks to gain that confidence, to make friends and mix in with other children.
The staff at the nursery are very helpful. They are on top of children’s needs, the support they require and the attention they want. My children’s development in this nursery was amazing! I started to notice their changed behaviour very early on, they could eat with the appropriate utensils, and they would use the word thank you and please.
I plan on putting my daughter in this nursery too once I start my work again.
Thank you so much nursery staff! Thank you for always accommodating my children for private care too during the holidays!

January 4, 2023 at 12:00 amI have had two children attend this nursery. The staff are all friendly and the manager very efficient. The nursery will always answer emails and phone calls and any queries or concerns I have for my child very promptly.
My child has some additional learning needs and the nursery has been proactive in helping him develop. It is a relief to know this nursery knows the SEN and EHCP system well with the borough and the manager has a lot of experience with this so I know I can work with the nursery for support for my son, instead of against the nursery and that is really important to me.
My child always enters the nursery happy, and leaves the nursery even happier! As a mum, this reassures me. The food at this nursery has also been good, my children try different things on the menu every week that they wouldn’t have at home and made excellently by the chef who puts in a lot of effort so I know they have always been fed well with freshly made food on their nursery days!
Lillian M
January 11, 2023 at 12:00 amVery friendly and caring nursery. My child loves to go to nursery and happily runs to the door to greet them each morning. Her diet and vocabulary improved with the positive reinforcement that the staff provided. There is good communication from management which makes planning work/childcare easy.

January 25, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Stars is an incredible nursery. I have my two children, a boy and a girl under the age of four attending, and I am more than confident in the care provided by the staff. My son has thrived so well in his learning and growth, and my baby girl has settled well with her primary person. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are wonderful, polite and keep you informed daily. The front-of-staff management has a well-rounded handle on things. I am so happy we found them. Thank you, Little Stars team; praying for increasing growth and wellness in the nursery.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to this nursery since she was under two and has always returned happy and satisfied. I have had no reason to complain about the care afforded to her during her time at the nursery. I have been kept well informed about all the updates in advance relating to the setting and I cannot thank enough all the staff who go over and beyond to provide the utmost care at this setting and assist children in meeting their developmental milestones.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amHaving first signed our son up back in 2019 when he was just a year old, my husband and I were so impressed with the care he received and his early years of development that we chose to keep him at Little Stars until he was of school age. Our daughter has since joined, and she is always excited to be going to the nursery; her face lights up on arrival, so I know she loves being there. I would like to thank the staff for their continued hard work. My mind is honestly at ease knowing my children are being cared for in a safe, friendly and clean environment.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amI believe all of us – parents – want our children to be safe, fed, happy and healthy.
At Little Stars Day Nursery, we get all this.
My child is happy and attends with pleasure and joy. My son is safe, thanks to the policies this place holds. The policy of the pickup, if not the parent, and using a password is very thoughtful. My son is not a big eater, but around the other children and thanks to the care specialist, his eating has improved too. The management follows the health advice from NHS and hands us over leaflets, keeps us informed re viruses and illnesses in the area. I’m grateful to these people who work so hard and with a desire to make a difference in our childrens lives.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has been going to Little Stars Day Nursery for a year. Staff helped him to settle in and are always kind and caring. My son enjoys his days at Little Stars, activities are engaging and stimulating, he comes home singing lots of songs and with lots of creative artwork he is proud to show us at home. The days and food at the nursery are planned well and provide good variety. All staff are friendly and approachable. The nursery is very clean and all rooms are bright and inviting. My son continues to love his days here.

February 7, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m very happy with the nursery, my son loves it, and the team is very helpful, My son learned a lot in the nursery, and he has a lot of friends, if he can’t attend for any reason always told that he misses the staff and his friends, I’m happy because my little one going to nursery with the smile.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been at Little Stars for nearly three years. I am a very nervous mum but feel completely at ease leaving my child in their care. Little Stars have played an integral part in bringing up my daughter who is polite, funny and clever. They always have mine and my child’s best interests at heart and have helped me develop as a new mum in many aspects. We receive regular updates daily via the app in regards to activities, foot and toilet. My daughter is always happy after a day at Little Stars and I can’t recommend them enough. The manager at the nursery has on many occasions gone to extra effort to accommodate us through a house renovation which I found particularly stressful. Flexible reliable and trustworthy. Perfect location for pick up and drop-offs.

February 10, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Stars is more than a home from home for our two – it offers more fun, more learning, more snacks(!), more stimulation and more friendships than we can offer them at home. We couldn’t be happier with, or more grateful to, the team.

February 16, 2023 at 12:00 amI have used Little Stars Day Nursery for both of my children. My oldest daughter really enjoyed her time there and I remember her always being excited to go in the mornings. The staff supported her in her early stage development and encouraged her social skills as well as transitioning to school.
My youngest daughter is still at the nursery and is currently in preschool the staff have been incredibly supportive with my daughter’s speech and language issues. She really misses the nursery on days when she isn’t scheduled in. I have always been kept in the know about any events and inset days and it’s lovely that they introduce a diverse range of cultural festivals. My daughter also enjoys having breakfast and lunch and the staff are incredibly friendly.
I feel my children are in very safe hands with Little Stars.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son learns something new every day. I am very satisfied! The staff is very caring and open to any discussion that a parent would like to have.
Also, my son is very happy there and has made many friends, and he is fascinated by the teachers.
He loves and admires them very much. He always talks to me about them when he comes home.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent child care provided. My daughter loves going into nursery and wants to go in even on her days off. All the staff are kind, keep you well informed and highly professional. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my daughter. I have used this nursery before with my son and since leaving he made excellent progress at school and I believe this is down to the teaching in the preschool. If I was to have any more children I would not hesitate to put them into Little Stars.

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amEverything about the nursery is fantastic, the children are well looked after, they learn and they are supported by exceptional staff. The support from the Manager and the team is brilliant to parents and children alike, including taking on board feedback and helping parents to feel reassured when it is needed.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amIt is a perfect nursery. My daughter goes to Little Stars Day Nursery and the staff there are really great and helpful. They provided lots of support for my daughter, always keeping me updated on daily bases on how she was doing in the nursery. She loves her teachers and the different activities that she does at the nursery. She comes home and tells me what she has done. Every time she is excited to go to the nursery. They do provide healthy food as my daughter loves it, Little Stars Day Nursery is really good and they provide lots of support. Management is great.
Really grateful. Thank you!

The staff are all friendly and really make me feel they care and enjoy their work. They make sure kids are safe and at the same time having fun. Thank you for giving my child a wonderful experience.

June 28, 2023 at 12:00 amI loved Little Star Day Nursery. I received so much patience, love, advice and support for my children. My children both loved the nursery and the teachers, they played and learned a lot. They feel happy and secure with all the members. Definitely, we recommended the nursery Little Start.

I couldn’t be happier with this nursery.
Thanks.
