Somercotes Stars Pre-School

Amazing nursery, the staff really take an interest in the child to bring out their full potential and go above and beyond to help parents and their children. The meals are amazing and varied covering all dietary needs. The prices hourly are at a very cheap rate for such a well run nursery I was lucky to find it. They leave you at ease as never easy to trust a stranger with your child, as such a nurturing friendly environment.

The activities are great and imaginative. My daughter brought home amazing paintings where her foot or hands were animals, the play-doh freshly made, can't praise this nursery enough.

My daughter is small, feisty yet fearful of rough play; I value kindness, sharing, respecting other people's values and teach 'gentle hands' so the last thing I want to hear is that my kid was hurt or hit or ignored. (I've heard from parents at other nurseries about kids biting their child or taking toys away etc) and I was genuinely fearful 'would these adults care, nurture and expand the values I want for my daughter' in their setting? Yes, they do! for me, it's important to feel safe. In induction they said 'we promote strong friendly girls who are confident' they also offered a buddy systems to encourage friendship building skills. They have a lovely mixed team of male and females so there is no fear of men. They take on and shape the space to meet the kid's needs be this creating dynamic ways to learn letters from drawing on the pavement or in sand or even bringing back the home corner because the kids missed it (was supposed to evolve) which I think is awesome and child centred.

Truly a home from home environment. I can't recommend enough.

Would recommend.

My son currently goes to this nursery and my daughter used to but she has now moved on to school. They both very much love the place and the staff. My daughter wishes she could go back to "little school" as we call it cause she loved it and misses it. My son really loves it and is a "character" according to the staff. He loves going and I know he's safe and well looked after there.

Fantastic. My daughter came from a school where she would scream before we got to the door so had to take her out. Now she's at this nursery she asks to go everyday. Staff are fantastic. Would recommend this nursery to anybody, fantastic.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery, it has helped him come out of his shell and is very well behaved whilst at nursery. All members of staff are lovely and are great with all of his allergies. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
