March 22, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is a wonderful nursery and I can’t recommend it highly enough! My daughter absolutely loves it and has developed so much since attending. There is a terrific garden which the children love, and the staff and really friendly and supportive. They offer great parenting advice and even run free workshops for parents on things like toilet training and positive behaviour management. They are flexible on how you can use the government funding for childcare and they really get to know the children and pay attention to their individual needs. Plus they are one of the cheapest nurseries around!

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amFacilities/outdoor space. They make great use of limited space. There’s a big garden with plenty of space to run around, shade under the porch and trees in sunny weather.
Learning. Children enjoy a varied and stimulating programme of learning through play.
Resources. North Star operate as a not-for-profit and do everything they can to keep costs low for parents. As a result, some of the equipment is a little worn. But there are loads of toys and games, rooms are decorated nicely with the children’s artwork.
Care. My son is cared for with sensitivity and tenderness, he has formed strong bonds with his career and is always happy to see them.
Activities. Messy play, sensory play, singing, games, reading, walks, trips, you name it!
Staff. A superb team of experienced and dedicated professionals.
Food. Balanced healthy meals which my son enjoys. Good at catering for dietary requirements.
Management/safeguarding/cleanliness. Extremely capable and consistent.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amNorth Star nursery is a brilliant environment for little people! The facility is beautifully thought through with a great range of activities inside and out. The staff are very approachable and knowledgable offering all sorts of support not only for the children in their care but also for their families. Our little boy loves his days at North Star and we have loved seeing him develop there. Thank you North star for all you do!

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is currently at North Star Nursery and thriving in the environment. My son also attended nursery here and loved it. The staff are kind, professional and highly competent. We are very happy with the atmosphere at nursery, from the range of activities to the parental support provided (with parent workshops, frequent meetings with staff, newsletters and information sheets, as well as thorough daily updates from staff in the room).

May 24, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my daughters currently attend the nursery. They are thriving in the environment. The staff are friendly and so invested in my girls and their happiness and development. They are always doing different activities and bringing home things they have made. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

May 25, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at North Star Nursery from 11 months old. North Star is a fantastic environment for children, regardless of their age.
The staff all form strong bonds with the children and remember the tiniest details about them and their interests, and develop activities in line with them where possible. The food is balanced and varied, and I feel confident that my very fussy eater (who always manages to eat all his food here, but never at home!) is well fed.
My son absolutely loves attending and has developed so much since being at North Star. Some mornings, I don’t even get a wave goodbye when he arrives as he is so happy to be there and play with his friends. The staff build in a great mix of inside activities, and outdoor. He loves the big garden (which has a lovely shady area).
From the day he started, I have felt confident that my son is being looked after by staff that genuinely love what they are doing and care about all the kids. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend.

June 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 2 year old attends North Star Nursery (started at 1 year old) and my 5 year old attends holiday club during the holidays (she previously attended the nursery from 10 months until she started school).
The nursery is fantastic, both my girls love attending and have the best time. The environment the staff have created is fun, welcoming, educational and nurturing. The nursery provides everything they need to thrive and develop. They are both confident and independent and this has been achieved because of the nursery, I really can’t imagine sending them anywhere else!
The nursery also goes above and beyond to help parents when there are any issues with behaviour/development and works fully with us to keep us updated and to provide advice. The nursery staff are extremely knowledgeable and I feel like they are part of the family, they genuinely love the children and it really shows at drop offs when both kids are happy to go straight in without any fuss!
I highly recommend the nursery to everyone!
