Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge

My son has been at this nursery since he was 11-months-old and is currently nearly 2 1/2. I work in Birmingham, so having the nursery cam was an extra reassurance. The nursery team are amazing and very welcoming. They take the time and care to get to know your child and their own little ways of doing things! My son thrives in this nursery environment and really benefits from all the activities they do to aid his development. I am also reassured that he eats healthy, nutritious and fresh meals that are prepared for onsite - another selling point compared to other nurseries. The manager and her wonderful team should be very proud of the nursery they have created.

Thank you Shooting Stars Nurseries at Stourbridge.

My daughter has been going to Shooting Stars Stourbridge since she was 8-months-old. I viewed a number of nurseries but had such a warm and welcoming feeling when I was shown around; I knew this was the one. The baby room was just perfect, especially for a first-time mom who was very nervous about leaving their little one, they filled me with assurances which made it a lot easier. My daughter is now 3-years-old, and it's been lovely to see her learn and develop through her time at the nursery in the several room settings they offer, which are carefully planned out for the age/development stage. She is now in Pre-School and absolutely loves the place! Loves her nursery days and seeing all her friends and the activities they do, she learns so much on a daily basis. They also have a diary log (an app) so you can see what your child has achieved during their day and learning observations. They have handled the COVID situation amazingly, and the environment is safe and secure. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend enough and thank all the staff so much for her development and the care she has received.

After recent events with COVID-19, my youngest had some time away from the nursery and returned back to Shooting Stars after more than 12-weeks away from the setting. I have been so impressed by the level of professionalism of the whole team. Ensuring all safety procedures were in place and creating a warm and inviting environment for her return. My daughter came out on her first day back smiling and skipping. She was desperate to get back the next day, she got dressed by herself and was waiting by the front door before anybody was ready!

I thoroughly recommend Shooting Stars to any parent considering the nursery for their children. My daughter is currently in pre-school and has attended since she was in the toddler room, and my son was in pre-school before starting school. The staff are fantastic, warm, attentive and professional. The children do a great range of activities, of which we're kept updated with photos on the log, as well as a daily email. The nursery has handled the current COVID crisis particularly well, putting in place policies to keep everyone safe but always prioritising the wellbeing of the children. There is a nursery cam available, but I've always been so satisfied with the information about what is happening each day and the knowledge that they're in great hands that I've never even logged in. Both children have made great progress at the nursery, but most importantly have had a lot of fun.

My daughter started nursery at 13 months and moved to Shooting Stars at 3 years, I have to say that her developmental progress in all areas but especially her vocabulary improved tremendously. The nursery offers such a wide variety of activities, my daughter has so much fun whilst learning. The app is also an added bonus, I love to see picture updates of what she’s up to and the daily diaries.

Staff complete detailed diary entries that provide me with a lot of info about how my daughter is progressing.

On their first day both my children had a brilliant time and even though things were a bit different to when they last went the staff have obviously worked really hard to try and keep as much normality for them as normal and they can’t wait to go back again next week.

During the unprecedented circumstances surrounding Covid-19, we have been exceptionally pleased with how the nursery has dealt with the changing circumstances. The communication has been excellent, including regular emails and calls. If I have had any queries as a key worker, the staff have been very accommodating and reassuring, especially supporting the return of our child to the setting.

My child has been attending shooting stars for over three years and in that time we have been fully supported with her learning and with her development. At each stage where she has transferred rooms the staff have taken time to let her settle, they have understood her needs and they have helped her achieve her goals. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe environment managed by caring and supportive people, who help children to develop and learn to their full potential.

Our son has been going to Shooting Stars Stourbridge since September and he loves it! As parents, we have been so impressed by the communication and support from all staff and couldn't recommend them enough. The variety of activities they do with the kids is brilliant, including getting outdoors which is really important. They are clearly working towards a curriculum to help the kids develop, but they do so in a fun, playful and age-appropriate way.

Our daughter started in summer 2018 in the baby room at the nursery, and we have seen her flourish ever since. She has now moved up rooms and every day we see that continue, with the dedication and caring nature of the staff. She struggled to settle into her new room at first, but with the carers patience and help, she now can’t wait to get there. The review meetings and the recording of her daily activities are a lovely way for us to see what she does, and to see how the carers feel she is getting on.

Overall, our child is very happy at Shooting Stars and has a great time each day.

Both my children have attended this nursery, my 2-year-old is currently in the toddler room. I have noticed a significant improvement in my son's learning and development since joining the nursery. I am very impressed with the electronic learning journey and daily diary. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends.

I am unable to recommend Stourbridge Shooting stars. I have used the nursery for the past 7 years, and when my eldest child attended, I couldn’t fault the nursery. However, I have not had the same experience second time around, in fact, quite the opposite. Below are some of the issues I have had; The safeguarding policy and its practices. Some staff being unprofessional when discussing children. The culture of the management and staff more interested in following processes and policies while not applying any common sense/ judgement, children being left to wipe their own bottoms, and no observations made in learning journey for 5 months.

Great nursery with caring staff and the right balance of fun and learning. High quality food, lovely setting and produces very confident children. I have been a parent here for the last 5 years with 2 kids and the preparation for school is outstanding.

Our little boy has been at Shooting Stars Stourbridge for just over a year. He loves it and often asks to go on his days off! We couldn't be more pleased - knowing he is happy and safe makes going to work a lot easier. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery place for their child.

I have 2 daughters and both have been to Shooting Stars from 8 months old, so have known the nursery for 7 years now. I love the warm and welcoming atmosphere and my girls have always looked forward to their time there. The staff are well trained and knowledgeable and the girls love them. I know they will always have a great time at nursery and it’s great preparation for school. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Shooting Stars is a welcoming loving environment. My child loves his time there. The staff are very hands on and I have found them very helpful.
