The staff members are very friendly and welcoming. My little girl absolutely loves it and she's really happy wanting to go to Stars. I feel like she's learned so much by being at preschool. Thank you to all the staff members at Stars.
Thank you for your review! Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe.
My daughter loves going to Stars. She had never been to any other childcare setting before this nursery so I was worried she wouldn’t settle well but the staff were great and so welcoming especially her key worker. I like that I get updates on her day and how she has been at the end of the session and that the kids have access to both outside and inside play. The setting has really helped her social skills and are now helping with getting her ready for school.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. Stars Dogsthorpe team.
Whatever I can say is a bit, amazing facilities with lots of activities for our children, clean environment! The whole team of Stars Pre-School is very kind and I am very happy that they loved their work so much and are close to all the children!
Thank you for your kind review. Manager and the Stars Dogsthorpe team.
The members of staff are great with my daughter, they always give a warm welcome and always give me feedback at the end of the session she is in for. They always keep the parents updated about events, such as upcoming pictures etc. The staff encourage my daughter to speak more and try new things. I wouldn’t choose any other nursery.
Thank you she is a pleasure to have at our pre school. Thanks for choosing us.
I am the happiest on earth that I chose this nursery for my kids, they absolutely love the place and all the staff are just so lovely, so caring, I haven't seen so caring staff anywhere else. Both my kids settled in really quick there as there is a so loving atmosphere every day, I can see huge changes in my kids and it melts my heart and is all because of amazing staff.
They are a pleasure to have in our setting.
Dogsthorpe Stars Pre-School is just amazing. The staff are very friendly and supportive. I love how informative they are about my girl every day. My daughter is very close with her key person. As she is a quiet and shy little girl, her key person has been amazing at making a bond with her. Also, I love to see how many new things she is learning in the nursery, which will be a good help starting a big school in September. I am more than happy with Dogsthorpe Stars Pre-School. Big thank you to the staff.

My son joined in September 2022. He had never been in any kind of childcare setting before, so I thought he may struggle, but he didn’t; he was welcomed so brilliantly that he loves going and constantly talks about it at home. He has excellent support from his key worker and buddy, and we are always informed about his day when we come to pick him up.

I have nothing but good things to say about Stars Dogsthrope nursery. They have been amazing with my child, even when she can be a handful at times. They have been brilliant with communicating with me and working together for my child's needs and best interests.
Thank you for your review. She's a pleasure to have in our setting.
Couldn't thank the girls at Stars Dogsthorpe enough. My little boy absolutely loves going and has really warmed up to them all. Especially one lady; he couldn't go through a day without her. She's been amazing with him, and he really does enjoy spending his days with her!
A pleasure to have you at our setting.
Team Dogsthorpe.
I have twins at this nursery and they settled in quite quickly. It was a shame to lose the old manager, but we gained a new manager, whom I have a meeting with over snack time, which was resolved with a plan of action. One of my twins has one leader and the other has another leader, and they are both great with the girls. They enhance areas that need work, and again, a plan to improve; I have lots of debates in my house, with who's leader is better than who's. Overall, I have no issues.
your girls are a pleasure to have in our setting.
Thank you.
Team Dogsthorpe.
My son is autistic and nonverbal. When he started, my son didn't really have much of an understanding, but now he is very understanding and learning to communicate. I was very nervous about leaving my son until I met one particular lady, honestly one of the most amazing and caring people I've met. She gave me a sense of security with my son; not only is he smashing it now, but he also has an amazing bond with her, and when I tell him we're going to nursery, he gets very excited to see her; he adores her, which to me, means everything.

I brought my daughter (3) here with the intention of coming a few times a week just to boost her social confidence. Turns out she comes five days now as she just loves it. Couldn't be more grateful to the staff that work here who bring out her little personality that you would normally see just at home. You can see the improvements, and you can tell she's just had a fun day. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you, Dogathorpe team.
Overall, we are very happy!
Thank you for your review. You and your family are a pleasure to have, and we are happy to help you on your journey.
My little one has been coming to Stars Pre-School since mid-January after numerous problems I encountered trying to get him a place within another setting. I found Stars, and they couldn't have been more supportive and understanding of our situation. My son was a lockdown baby and has always been with myself so it was very distressing for myself and him for the first few weeks when having to part. The whole team have been fantastic, and now he is thriving under the care of the stars team. Thanks so much. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy nursery.
We were very happy that we could help you and your child. We are very happy that you chose to bring him to us. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant. My son loves spending time there; he has made loads of friends. The staff are amazing. The communication from the staff is great. I'd recommend anyone taking their child/children there. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for your review. It’s lovely to hear your positive comments. You are a lovely family and a pleasure to have in our setting. Thank you.
When my little girl was due to start preschool, I was looking for a school that would support her needs as she has Down syndrome so she has a developmental delay. She settled really well with all staff, and I feel they go beyond expectations. They treat her like no other, and she’s so happy to wave me goodbye (she sees them as her little family). I have always felt like her development, speech and lots of other things have come along nicely. I appreciate everything they do for us and our little girl. Keep up the good work. Want a good preschool for your little people, please give them a ring!
Thank you for your lovely comment. She will definitely be missed when she goes to school.
My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now, and since he started, I’ve seen him progress so much. He has learnt a lot since attending and comes home so happy each day telling me about all the fun he has had. All the staff are amazing, and he loves each and every one of them! I hope for my youngest to start attending late next year, and I know he would love it just as much!
Thank you for your review, it’s a pleasure having you in our setting.
I am very comfortable and confident leaving my child in this setting. They go above and beyond in making sure all children are happy and very well looked after, and I would definitely recommend to any other parent that is looking for an amazing Pre-School to look here.
We have been going here for 3 years now. Awesome place. My daughter is always happy going there, as was her sister before her. The staff are very nice and helpful. There are snacks offered for kids. Recommend it to anyone.
She is a pleasure to have at our Pre-School.
Thank you for choosing our setting.
Experienced and friendly staff. My son loves it here, they provide lots of different activities for him. He has come on so much since being here with his speech, building relationships with his peers and how to handle his emotions. Everything they do is all geared up to his educational needs for the future. It is very well run and organised. We have a great relationship with all the staff, they all genuinely care.
Thank you for your review. He’s a pleasure to look after, and will be missed when he leaves for “Big school”.
