Review from Heather S (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website
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.

Review from Louise M (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have had both our daughters in Little Stars Nursery Hillington from 8 months to 3 years and they have been great. The only reason they weren’t there until P1 was because we wanted our wee ones to go to their school nursery when they were eligible to help with the transition. My two loved Little Stars Nursery and we’re sad to leave. The outdoor space is well used in all weathers. The online journal is a great way to keep parents updated with information, development and pictures of the little ones enjoying their play and learning.

Overall Experience

My little boy has gone to Little Stars Nursery Hillington since April last year, it took him a while to settle but the girls in the Sunflowers Room were fantastic with him. He’s now in the Daises Room and has completely come out of his shell and having the best time. He has learned so much from attending here and enjoys going.

Review from Verienne B (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I moved my son out of a nursery into Little Stars just before his 2nd birthday and it is the best thing I ever did. From the beginning the communication, friendliness and welcome to not just my son but to myself, husband and even my older son. The manager is very approachable and will always get back to you as soon as possible if you email. During such difficult times they have been able to reasure me that they are following all the goverment guidlines for covid and still provide a welcoming, caring environment for my son. The outdoor space is amazing given they are in the middle of industrial estate. Going to be very sad to not be bringing my son upto the nursery anymore. Finishes in June for school.

Review from Kerry C (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Little Stars Nursery for a few months now and he absolutely loves it. He has made friends with other children in the sunflower room and he loves the girls that work in the sunflower room. He has came on leaps and bounds since starting Little Stars. My son's father and I always check the online journal so see how ours sons day has been. He always has a great time and is always taking part in fun and educational activities. We were both nervous about our son starting nursery as he hadn't mixed with other children due to lockdown, but he really has a great time socialising with everyone at Little Stars. Thank you so much to everyone for all their hard work and dedication. We are delighted that our son loves Little Stars. Thanks you.

Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves nursery, we were so scared as he hasn't had much interaction due to lock down but the girls have been great and he can't wait to see them when we arrive. He has been thriving in so many aspects of his development that we have noticed since starting a short time ago. We'll done girls, keep up the good work, you are all a credit.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Little Stars Nursery Hillington since October last year and struggled with the transition to nursery, as did I but the staff and management were so reassuring and after a couple of days she was settled in and runs into nursery with such excitement to see all her friends and the ladies. I see my daughter developing new skills every day and Little Stars Nursery Hillington play a big part in that. The staff do amazing keeping her journal up to date with what she is doing in nursery and what topics they are doing. The outdoor space within the nursery is amazing and well thought out. Being a qualified nursery teacher myself I would highly recommend Little Stars Nursery Hillington to any parent.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is due to turn five and has been attending Little Stars Nursery Hillington since he was one. The staff are all very friendly and have helped enormously with the big milestones he has faced through his time there, such as toilet training and preparing for school. I particularly like that the children can play outside almost every day, the outside play area is very impressive and one of the reasons we chose this nursery. I couldn’t be happier with the care that Little Stars Nursery Hillington have provided over the years.

Overall Experience

Our son started Little Stars Nursery Hillington at four month of age and is now four years old and I have been watching him grow into his own little character. Little Stars Nursery Hillington will go out there way to make the parent feel as comfortable as well as the child, with the constant updates, helpfulness and how they go out of their way to help.

Overall Experience

My son attended Little Stars Nursery Hillington from the age of one until he left to start school. My daughter also attends the nursery and is currently in the two to three room. I can’t recommend the nursery enough, the staff are fantastic and the facilities are great. The garden space is particularly great with lots of space and toys for the children. Both of my kids have had a wonderful time there and I’ll be sad when my daughter eventually leaves to go to school.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Little Stars Nursery Hillington since he was nine months old, he is now two and a half. He absolutely loves nursery and I can't fault it one bit. They have a great big garden for the kids to play in which is a major selling point for me. The staff are amazing, anytime I've come to them about my son they have always came back with great advice, feedback and been interested in how they can help with things I have concerns about. Staff are always so welcoming and my son loves them all. One hundred percent recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Little Stars Nursery Hillington is a great nursery. I first used the service back in 2013 for my oldest child and now using it again. My other little girl has been attending the nursery since nine months old and I have never had any problems. All the staff are lovely and so caring towards the children. The nursery itself is large and great outdoor area for the kids to play. Have always highly recommended to friends and family with small children looking for childcare providers. Thanks.

My daughter has attended Little Stars Nursery Hillington for the last three years, from the baby room up to the preschool room. She loves it, the staff are all fantastic and the nursery itself is a lovely place for kids. Great outdoor space to get outside and play. My youngest starts in the baby room in a few weeks. Would highly recommend this nursery.
