Overall Experience

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting in January 2024. The staff are all amazing and so approachable! My daughter is much happier at drop off and always tells us how fun her day was at pick up. After a terrible experience with another nursery, it is reassuring to know she is settling in and enjoying it. I wish I found this nursery sooner! My little star is thriving so thank you!

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Little Stars for just over a year now and she’s been thriving under their care. She enjoys every moment there and is always happy to walk in herself. I love the cleanliness of the place and the large outdoor space provided for the kids to explore. All the staff know the kids and are very friendly to everyone. The app also makes it very easy to track what my daughter has been up to during her time at the nursery.

Review from Julie T (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started with Little Stars Hillington at the start of September and he absolutely loves it. We decided to put him into nursery early as we wanted him to develop good social skills, (due to him having no siblings) and just within his first month, Little Stars has helped him with this journey. He loves all the staff and a few in particular. Everyone is so lovely and happy which makes me, as a mother, comfortable, making it easier to leave him knowing he is looked after as if he was one of their own children. Can't recommend Little Stars Hillington enough. Fantastic nursery.

Overall Experience
My twin boys have been attending the nursery since March and they absolutely love it, the difference I have seen in them since attending has been amazing as they were with a childminder previously. The staff are absolutely brilliant and always give you updates on the boys' day and also they have a fab manager and assistant manager who are so helpful and my boys adore them too.

I highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Hillington Little Stars since she was just 9 months. I have been blown away with the support, care, and encouragement given to her from all the staff during the last 2 years. She is constantly occupied and learning new skills and completely thrives in their care. Cannot recommend Little Stars enough. Their facilities and team are second to none! Thanks for everything ladies, keep up the good work.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been attending Hillington Little Stars for 2 years now and has completely flourished under their care. Her confidence, personality and skills are nurtured by the whole team and she absolutely loves attending. The nursery is not my catchment area but after viewing several nurseries and meeting the practitioners it was an easy decision to send her here. Thank you to all the staff for your continuous support and development of my little one.

Overall Experience

I moved my little boy to this nursery in February, and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so helpful kind and caring with both children and parents. The nursery itself is clean spacious bright and a warming environment. My wee boy loves going to nursery and is developing so well. The outdoor area in the nursery for the children is outstanding. The online journal is also a great thing and you are always kept informed and up to date with any changes and everything that is going on in the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for one.

Review from Claire M (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Cannot rate Little Stars Nursery Hillington highly enough. My wee boy has been attending for 18 months since he turned a year old and absolutely loves it! He is happy and excited to attend and it’s lovely to see the special relationships he’s developed with the nursery staff. The nursery itself is bright and airy with a wide range of activities to keep him entertained. The staff are always friendly and have really supported his transition into nursery and when changing rooms from the baby to the 2-3 room.

We feel he has come on leaps and bounds since attending in every way and feel so fortunate we decided to send our wee boy to Little Stars.

Only just started my 9 month old at the nursery a month ago but they have been great. She has settled well and she has come on with her crawling and eating so much already. The staff have been so kind and welcoming and I feel comfortable leaving my daughter with them.

Review from Natalie R (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter moved to the nursery in February and we couldn't be happier. She settled very quickly and thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery. There is a wide range of activities which our daughter loves coming home to tell us about, including teaching us her yoga moves she learns at nursery. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The nursery itself is very clean and spacious. We feel it is the perfect transition for our little girl before she starts school next year.

My son has attended Little Stars since he was 2. He has come on so much with his speech, learning to share and communicate with others. His eating has come on great, he has made some lovely friends and comes home with a smile on his face. All the staff are brilliant and go above and beyond to make sure the children have a great education.

Overall Experience

Our little one has been going to the nursery since June this year, she absolutely loves it and has a great time. The staff are very approachable and caring and very informative. Being able to view from the app your child's day and what they have been up to and photos is amazing and gives you a real insight into their time spent there. The size of the rooms and out door area are really big and well used in all weathers.

Overall Experience

My son joined little stars in May 2021. What a fabulous nursery. I didn’t realise how great a place it was until he left his last placement. The staff are friendly and attentive and all his belongings are always accounted for. I will recommend this nursery to anybody I speak to and the location is great, with an outstanding outdoor play area! I will be sad to see my son leave in August this year.

Overall Experience

We are delighted with the service received from this nursery. We required childcare very last minute and the manager and staff were so helpful and accommodating. We received verbal updates at the end of every session and could access more information and lovely photos through his personal journal, which was always updated daily. Every member of staff came across so professional, friendly and overall, just lovely people.
