October 2, 2020 at 12:00 amI have had both of my children attending the nursery. Both of my children settled in really well when they first started. The nursery offered lots of settling in sessions for both of my children to ensure they get used to the nursery environment and this was really helpful. The staff at the nursery are excellent, friendly and approachable. I also like the idea of the EyLog where you can access daily diaries, reports and photos of your little one having great fun, playing with toys, and doing various activities, which is reassuring as they spend good quality time in the nursery whilst we are at work. I also think that the nursery did extremely well during these difficult times. They remained opened for children of key workers and kept us regularly up to date with the latest news and risk assessments ensuring that measures have been in place to make the nursery safe. The nursery also has a cook on site which is great. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

November 5, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has settled in really well and loves going. The staff are really friendly and very helpful if you have any questions or concerns etc. I love that this nursery has a nursery cam as it’s really helped put my mind at ease because every time I log in, I can see that my son is having lots of fun. I would highly recommend this nursery.

August 25, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have been so happy with Shooting Stars since the moment we first viewed the nursery when pregnant. Our little boy settled in so well during Jan 2021 when he started at the age of 1. We were impressed with how well the nursery has dealt with all of the changing restrictions as a result of Covid-19 and was extremely happy to still be able to attend the first 2 settling sessions. Being in attendance makes all the difference when leaving your baby for the first time.
Our little boy has never got upset at drop off and always seems calm and settled into his routine during the day and the camera is great to check how he is doing occasionally. It is clear that the social interactions he gets and the activities they do have aided his development. The staff in the baby room have been amazing and we are looking forward to seeing how he transitions with his move to the toddler room in the coming weeks.
Thanks, Shooting Stars! We will always recommend you to others.

March 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son only started nursery in January (when he was 11-months-old) and would get quite upset when I would leave. The girls were so understanding of this, and I never felt rushed to leave him. He’s only been going for 6-weeks, and has settled in so well, he no longer cries when I drop him off… he actually can’t get in the room fast enough! I have also used the nursery cam numerous times, and I’m always put at ease by seeing how the girls all interact with my son and the other babies in the room. The photos and information which are uploaded through the nursery app are brilliant, as it helps give me an idea of what activities to do at home.

April 1, 2022 at 12:00 amI was really nervous about sending my daughter to nursery after having a lockdown baby who I’d never been away from. However, I needn’t have worried as Shooting Stars have been amazing! My daughter has attended for 6-months now and absolutely loves her time there. All the staff are wonderful and caring, and it is such a lovely and welcoming place. They have really got to know her little personality, and the updates they provide throughout the day are so lovely. I feel so lucky to have such an incredible nursery so close to home.

April 5, 2022 at 12:00 amI could not be happier with the care that our 18-month-old son has had at Shooting Stars since he started 2-months ago. As a lockdown baby, he has really struggled with separation. He went to a different nursery for around 3-months before he started here in January, and he just never settled in. He cried every time we would drop him off, he would cling to me, and we were made to feel that it wasn’t normal.
Fast forward to now, and he is so different. The girls at Shooting Stars have been absolutely fantastic with him. They’ve been so understanding of his needs and support him when he needs that closeness and care.
They arrange such wonderful activities during the day and have a fab garden space for them to play. The meals he has there are also great, and they often give him second portions; he loves it so much!
We are so grateful we found this nursery, and we no longer dread nursery days spending the whole day worrying.
Thank you!

April 5, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy started Shooting Stars in September last year after looking at a few nurseries. The second we walked in just felt like home. We both have had such excellent experiences since then, and he has formed such a lovely bond with all of the staff in the baby room, and when I say all, I mean the whole nursery. It’s so lovely when we walk in, every member of staff we pass knows his name, and that says a lot about a nursery and staff. Shooting Stars came highly recommended, and I now know why, the care given by all staff, the wide range of toys and experiences they encourage the children to play and get involved with and a gorgeous garden all with an added bonus of nursery cam which is great, I also love how staff have been at the nursery for years, which encourages me that staff love the work environment. As a qualified teacher and working within education and educational settings, I wanted a nursery that really encouraged learning through play, and Shooting Stars does just that.

April 12, 2022 at 12:00 amSince joining Shooting Stars Stourbridge in December, my 16-month-old son has noticeably grown in confidence and skills. The baby room staff are amazing, caring and obviously love their jobs. One lady is wonderful with my son, so much so that he started saying her name loads since February!
We always get wonderful little updates on the app on the day that he’s in, which clearly shows what skills he’s developing whilst playing. The activities are always varied, and he always comes home really happy and absolutely worn out.
They have been amazing at catering to my son’s cow’s milk protein allergy and have recently helped with a possible additional soy allergy. I don’t know how they do it, but my son always eats and really enjoys pretty much everything they give him as well!
The camera is a really lovely little tool as well, as it means I can pop on and have a little look to see how he’s getting on throughout the day.

April 12, 2022 at 12:00 amShooting Stars is a wonderful nursery with caring, friendly and professional staff. They all go above and beyond to ensure the children are supported and nurtured whilst encouraging and teaching them. All staff are very knowledgeable, and we appreciate being kept on top of the achievements and developments. The rooms and outdoor spaces are great offering lots of opportunities to try new things in a safe environment. Our little one loves going to nursery and always has a smile on her face!

July 28, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. My daughter has been going there since she has been 9 months old. She is now almost 4 and is starting school in September.
Shooting Stars have really helped with her development and confidence; she is certainly ready for school now.
All the staff there are great, especially one particular staff member. My daughter talks about them often. All the staff are very welcoming and happy in their workplace, which also makes a difference.
They do lovely activities with the children and have lots of fun in the garden.
I would highly recommend Shooting Stars to anyone!
Thank you for everything you have done for our daughter.

August 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t thank the staff enough who look after my little boy; they are always so pleasant and supportive. My son is taking a while to settle in at the nursery, but the staff are always so kind and make leaving my son a little easier for myself. The staff in my son’s room are very compassionate about their job, and I love when they send me updates throughout the day on what my son is doing and also his progress. All of the staff at the nursery are very polite, welcoming and pleasant.

November 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy boys are thriving at Shooting Stars, not just at nursery, but they’re soo much happier at home too. Being at another nursery previously, I can see such a difference in them, they’re excited to get to Shooting stars, and it makes me content to leave them and go to work – so much happier!
The meals are so much better than in the last setting, and the twins love dinner time at the nursery. They tell me all about what they’ve had when they come home.
The girls who look after them (and everyone else who works there) are the loveliest people, the boys adore them, and I trust them completely. Thanks for all you do.

April 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy twins have attended Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge for eighteen months and they absolutely love it! They are always happy when dropped off and picked up and have built a great bond with the staff.
The daily diaries and regular pictures/videos, together with the parent stay-and-play sessions, enable parents (and grandparents) to feel engaged with the nursery and the development of their children.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom the moment I entered the nursery, I sensed a warm and welcoming environment which would enable my child to thrive. The staff are so friendly and approachable and are certainly people you can trust to keep your children safe due to their genuine care for each one of them. I’ve also been impressed with the daily updates on my child and the communication as a whole.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Shooting Stars, Stourbridge for two days a week for the last two years. I wholeheartedly believe the nursery has massively contributed to the development of our now 3-year-old.
The nursery encourages independence, and a variety of activities, foods and environments have all helped shape our daughter’s character and imagination. The staff have all been approachable and professional and keep us up to date on all aspects of our child and the nursery in general.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amThank you to all the staff for looking after my son. It’s been challenging for him to settle down, but the staff have been amazing with him. All the effort they make for him to feel comfortable, it’s so important for us parents. Excellent nursery!

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is currently attending the Shooting Star Nursery (Stourbridge) and she is truly flourishing at this nursery!
They’ve helped her with her speech, writing and preparing her for primary school now. This is the best Nursery and honestly, I wish they have an extended part for primary school.
Love it!

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Shooting Stars Nursery in Stourbridge for one year and nine months and absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic and so friendly and supportive. The staff genuinely care for and build a lovely bond with the children, and even staff from other rooms know my daughter’s name. It’s really lovely that each child has a key person, and you feel like they have individual care and someone you can approach. The staff have always made us feel very welcome, and from her first day, it has been a warm and welcoming environment. The communication is excellent, and I really enjoy getting updates on the app, photos and a daily diary. My daughter is always happy to go into the nursery and really enjoys the different learning activities, outdoor area and toys and resources. The variety of meals and snacks is great, and my daughter always eats well and enjoys her food. Recently, we have started potty training, and the staff in her room have been so supportive of this. All in all, fantastic!

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son attends Shooting Stars three days a week, and we are so happy with the nursery.
The staff are lovely and always want to do all they can to help with a child’s development, eg I mentioned my son liked the sensory books that day they had found them out and sent me an observation of his key worker reading one to him.
I find there are lots of different activities set up for him each day, promoting different learning, and he is loving all the messy play and outdoor play.
My son is always so happy to be dropped off there, and when my husband drops him off, my older daughter is there too, and the staff are warm and friendly with her too.
My son’s key worker contacted me for a detailed development meeting, and you can tell she enjoys her role and really takes on board all feedback.
My son is a happy baby there, and it makes leaving him to go to work so much easier for me.
I have recommended the nursery to others, and other parents I know who sent their children there had lovely experiences.
