November 29, 2022 at 12:00 amOur wee one has been placed at Little Stars Nursery Alloa since March, and we have found the nursery to be nothing other than excellent. From getting her settled in, which was initially challenging and required some adjustments through to now when she quite happily toddles into the nursery herself without batting eyelid.
There are a variety of activities that the children are involved in each day – along with involvement in other events – such as Halloween/Children in Need. We have lunches provided by the nursery which are always varied and healthy.
Communication with the nursery has always been good, however, has further improved over the past few months with the advent of a weekly newsletter, further information on noticeboards and emails being sent. All staff are approachable, and knowledgeable and show a genuine interest in the children. A welcome addition recently was the parent’s evening where we had the opportunity to stop by at night and have a walk through the whole nursery.

November 29, 2022 at 12:00 amLittle Stars Alloa is our 5th Nursery (job and availability issues) and is undoubtedly the best childcare facility we have put both our children into. The kids come home exhausted from all the meaningful play and engaging activities the nursery staff put on and they sleep much better for it.
Communication is second to none and we as parents feel informed of every step of progress from the online learning journal, the take-home diary and the handover at home time.
Our oldest daughter has ASD which presents significant challenges. Little Stars (Alloa) have taken her with a warm embrace and moulded a plan to make her feel included as well as focus on her development. The management have worked tirelessly to help us access funding and extra support.
Truly cannot rate this place any higher. They feel like an extension of our family who we trust with the care and upbringing of our kids. 10 / 10 and exceptional value.

December 13, 2022 at 12:00 amI would definitely recommend Little Stars Alloa. The outside space is amazing, and the staff are great. Always learning new topics. My child hasn’t had any issues and loves his time here (1 but it was dealt with quickly and correctly), runs in and doesn’t look back. He loves spending time with his friends and teachers. The rooms are clean and full of resources to keep the kids busy. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

December 23, 2022 at 12:00 amFive-star nursery. My son has been at Little Stars Nursery since he was 10 months old. The staff work so hard for interesting and engaging activities for the kids. I receive plenty of updates through the app, daily diary and also the occasional social media post on the private page. My son receives lunch and snacks provided by the nursery. It has a good menu, however, if he doesn’t eat the meal, I have found that they will make him a sandwich, so he’s not hungry. All the staff are wonderful and genuinely care for your little one. My son has built up good relationships with both staff and the other children who come to nursery. The only teeny thing I would say needs updating, is the invoice process. There should be a way that you get a breakdown of the invoice, perhaps all maintained within the app. However, that is something that could perhaps be looked at in the future. Currently, invoices are sent via email. Just would be handy if it was on the app and you could pay via the app too.

January 6, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter is attending Little Stars Nursery since she was 6 months old, and it has been the best decision. The staff is always welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic to see our daughter and she is well looked after. Our daughter has Down’s Syndrome and although the nursery did not have any experience with her condition before she arrived, they are very willing to learn and to apply what they have learned in practice. Our daughter is fully accepted and included in all activities, treated exactly the same as the other children. She is learning new things, practicing skills, interacting with the other children and thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery. Communication with us as parents is great and I love the large outdoor space. I would highly recommend Little Stars Nursery.

January 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Little Stars Nursery Alloa from the age of 1.5 (now 3.5). He has progressed through the rooms and the team have always been brilliant. The variety of learning and places for him to explore is great. He is a kid big into the outdoors so the Little Stars Nursery Alloa set-up is perfect.
The team are very friendly and informative. And also during times of change help support your child.
Would highly recommend it.

May 19, 2023 at 12:00 amTotal peace of mind for us, I can’t give higher praise. My child can’t wait to go and he doesn’t stop talking about it when he gets back! He seems very engaged in what he is doing there and is a smiley, happy little boy. Thank you.
