February 26, 2020 at 12:00 amOur 2-year-old daughter has attended Shining Stars for 18 months now. She is happy, settled and thriving within the setting. During this time we have watched the nursery grow from strength to strength. From management to apprentices all of the staff take great pride in the setting and genuinely care for each individual child. They take great care in learning about each child and planning to their needs. They also hold regular parents events which have been lovely, from bedtime story evenings to informative parent information evenings. They are currently under renovation and have a fabulous new baby room with their own separate outdoor space, with plans to enhance the rest of the building imminently. We would highly recommend Shining Stars to any parents.

October 26, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have sent our daughter to Shining Stars since she turned one, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress she has made.
The nursery was very transparent with our child’s progress through their app, where we can track progress, her eating, toileting and naps through. They even provide pictures throughout the day.
Our child was late coming on with her speech, and this was highlighted by the nursery. Working with the nursery, a plan and help were put in place to help develop her, and now she is doing great.
Our child comes home happy every day after nursery, and we couldn’t be happier with the service.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amCouldn’t ask for a better nursery. My son is now in toddler, and he loves it. The staff are always available to help and keep me updated and work well with the children, plenty of activities that change regularly to keep them entertained. Modern and very clean. Five-stars plus.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved our little boy to Shining Stars four months ago. He used to leave his previous nursery quiet, and he would scream every day and not want to go.
Since we moved, he has come out of nursery happy and chatting away, telling us about his day and singing songs he’s been singing. He asks for two members of staff regularly and is happy to go to the nursery. No issues – he just walks through the doors.
We get updates throughout the day, and the learnings are usually adapted to match his interests.
Highly recommend.

November 7, 2022 at 12:00 amShining Stars management and the friendly staff take very good care of my daughter ever since she joined the nursery. She has been with Shining Stars for the past 18 months, and her learning and discipline are well improved. My daughter feels very comfortable with this nursery, and as a parent, I feel stress-free as they keep updating my daughter’s activity in the app on daily basis.

November 7, 2022 at 12:00 amShining Stars is an outstanding nursery. My daughter started at 15 months old. Being the parent, we never worried after leaving her in the nursery. The staff took care of the rest of her day. They offer great early years learning experience, with rooms for various age ranges, and they have several play areas. They communicate everything and share pictures of what she does in the nursery, very often in the mobile app. We parents enjoy seeing her growth and her activities in the nursery. Highly skilled staff members and management handle the baby’s needs and track the learning stages and keep us updated.
Absolutely fantastic nursery in the middle of town.

November 7, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has attended this nursery since August 2020 and loved it since day one. The staff are all so lovely and helpful. My baby is due to start next year, and I know he’ll love it too. They’ve gone the extra mile to help with challenging behaviour that I was stressed about and spent time chatting to me about it and printing me off resources. I have recommended this nursery to friends already, and one moved her child here from another local nursery, and they’re much happier here too.

November 8, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery with very caring and considerate staff. My daughter absolutely loved it here. Staff ensure that the child is happy and makes sure they work together with the parents as a team! Surely would recommend it.

November 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loved attending Shining Stars. All the staff were so caring and loving. Days at the nursery were filled with fun and educational activities. My daughter really bloomed there, going from a shy little girl to a confident and social toddler. She has some beautiful memories from there.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son joined in February, and he absolutely loves the nursery. There’s plenty for him to do, and the staff are lovely. My son can’t stop talking about the staff at home and is always looking forward to go back the next day. My son was nonverbal when he joined, and by months 3-4 was linking sentences. The effort the staff has put into my son is amazing. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

November 21, 2022 at 12:00 amAmazing care for my little boy. He enjoys going to the nursery, and every time and comes out of the nursery very happy! He has grown such a strong connection with all the staff, especially his key worker! I feel like my child has come on so much since attending nursery!

March 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son started at Shining Stars after his previous nursery had closed. He’s settled really well and in such a short period of time. The staff are welcoming and promote a welcoming environment to both parents and children leaving me peace of mind that my child is not only safe but happy while I work. Even though he has only been attending for a few months, I have noticed nothing but good progression in my son’s speech and development in all areas.

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent. My two-year-old daughter started nursery a few weeks ago and has developed so much since then. She loves going to the nursery, and she is super excited when she “tells” us about her experience. The staff are really friendly, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make sure kids feel at home. Highly recommended!

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a first-time parent, the thought of leaving my baby was very daunting, but as soon as I went to look around Shining Stars and met with the staff, I was immediately put at ease. My little boy loves going to the nursery to learn and play with his friends; he is always learning new skills and is always excited to tell me about his day. The app provides you with everything you need to know throughout the day, along with pictures of daily activities. The staff not only care for your child and build a bond with them, but they also take the time to get to know you as parents as well. Overall, a fabulous nursery.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amThey are amazing! From first contact to this very day, they can’t do enough, and with ease, as they really know what they are doing, the admin team are so well organised.
If something goes wrong, which it can do when looking after a child, especially one with additional needs, they have a plan before I even arrive on how best to support.
Every single member of staff in his room is brilliant; they communicate so well via the app or phone, encourage and support interaction and play at every step. His key workers are so keen to try new things or adapt things to make them inclusive.
Really good food knowledge when it comes to allergies etc.
They have such a great space, always doing different things in different areas.
All his care workers always say he seems so happy when they visit, and they can see an improvement in his development since he started.

May 19, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. Both my children have attended the nursery and have both always been happy and well looked after. The staff are friendly and are always accommodating and happy to help. We receive regular updates throughout the day through photos and updates of what my child has eaten and how long they have slept. Seeing your child happy helps to put your mind at ease, especially if it’s been an emotional drop-off.
