Lizzie was such a big part of my daughters journey and development and we will forever be grateful to the staff at the nursery for all their love, support and kindness!
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. We miss your little one dearly at Yellow Star and have such wonderful memories of their time with us. We're so pleased we still get to see you around the village and watch them continue to grow and flourish!
We are really happy with Yellow Star Nursery and the care our daughter receives. She loves going in and has come on so much since starting in February.

Would definitely recommend Yellow Star to other parents.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. Your kind words and support mean so much to the whole Yellow Star team. We feel incredibly lucky to work with such wonderful children and families, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience with others.

We have used the nursery for all three of our kids, with our middle just leaving now to go to school. He's filled with confidence and really ready for the next step, thanks to the great start he's been given. Lizzie has become almost like family now, with the kids talking about her at home over dinner and always being excited to see her, my oldest also always goes back in to see all the staff when we go to pick up the younger ones and is welcomed with happiness and warmth.
We cannot overstate how happy we are with every member of the team that has taken care of our kids. Maddie's communication, flexibility and leadership has created a fantastic place.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We feel truly honoured to have cared for all of your children over the years, and we'll never be ready for our Yellow Star journey with your family to come to an end!

Yellow Star have been fantastic with our little one. He's been very happy going into nursery every day since day one and they have loads of activities he loves. The team are great and really flexible and understanding with parents, always keeping us informed. Maddie is so easy to deal with and Amy was our key worker in the Baby room and was amazing for us. One of the best choices we've made was to choose Yellow Star.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We feel incredibly proud and lucky to have had your little one as part of Yellow Star.
I would highly recommend Yellow Star. It's the best nursery.

My eldest has now started senior school, and I truly believe the strong foundation she received at Yellow Star has followed her throughout her entire academic journey. The start she had in life - from being a baby in this nursery - has had a lasting impact on her confidence, learning, and love of education.
The care, dedication, and consistency shown by the staff over the years has been exceptional. Knowing that all four of my children were supported, encouraged, and helped to reach their full potential has meant everything to us as a family. Yellow Star has played a huge role in shaping who my children are today, and we will always be grateful for that.
We are immensely proud of everything all four of your children have achieved during their time with us and after. Thank you for trusting us with them from the very beginning, it has been a privilege to be part of your family's journey, and we wish them all every success and happiness for the future.

From the moment he started at just one year old, Maddie and the team have cared for him as though he was one of their own. They have become an extension of our family, a support network we simply couldn't do without. Every milestone has been nurtured with such kindness, encouragement and a real understanding of each individual child. He absolutely loves going each day, and knowing he feels so safe, happy and loved is something that is hard to find the words to do it justice.
I have so many friends with children at wonderful nurseries, but Yellow Star is truly unmatched. They've given our son the happiest start, and they've supported us as parents every step of the way. We will be forever grateful to Maddie and every single member of the team for everything they've done for our family and our boy.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's a privilege to be part of your little one's early years journey, and we can't wait to see him continue to flourish and thrive as he graduates towards school.....!
The kindest, caring nursery! Very professional, experienced staff, welcoming and patient with all the children. The children are all very happy and parents seem full of praise. It's like a home from home!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We've really enjoyed having all five of your grandchildren with us. Thank you for always taking the time to comment on their observations and for being so involved in their nursery journey. We really appreciate your support.

the moment he started there we have had no question about it being the right decision. My son feels safe and cared for by all the staff and regularly comes home with funny stories, showing just how much the staff interact with play but he's also prepared for school learning phonics and writing in a interesting playful way. He recently described his keyworker Lizzie as being kind and that she makes him feel happy - that's all I could ask for.
Thank you so much for your kind words....bring on 2027 when baby number two is with us!
Two of our children have attended Yellow Star with our third starting soon. An amazing, caring nursery where the staff go above and beyond. Lizzi has been both of our children's key worker and she is amazing!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so excited to be welcoming baby number three into our Yellow Star family and can't wait for this new adventure!
Our daughter is the third of our children to attend this nursery, and once again, it has exceeded all our expectations. It's been wonderful to see her welcomed by the same fantastic teachers our boys had. Lizzie, Amy, Megan and Coleen are simply amazing, and thanks to their care, patience and...
She has made some lovely friendships and enjoys the wide range of activities on offer, including sensory play, sign language, Tiny Mites sessions and village walks, to name just a few. Every week brings new experiences that encourage her confidence, curiosity and independence in such a fun and nurturing environment.
The app is another brilliant feature, allowing us to follow her development, receive updates and photos throughout the day, and keep communication with the nursery flowing effortlessly.
Thank you to the whole team for everything you do. We couldn't recommend Yellow Stars more highly!
Thank you so much for your extremely kind words. It's been an honour to have all three of your children with us.
If you want a nursery that feels more like a family than a business then Yellow Star is for you. The staff take the time to really get to know each child, to understand them and celebrate who they are. They help them to grow in confidence and let their personalities shine.

My son left Yellow Star to start Reception in September. He is one of the youngest in his class, but thanks to the brilliant foundation Yellow Star gave him, he was more than ready. He settled into school smoothly, full of confidence, kindness, and excitement to learn and make new friends.
He still talks about Yellow Star and all the wonderful people there with so much love, and honestly, so do we. We miss it deeply, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in such an important chapter of his life.

We picked Yellow Star for our two boys and feel like it was one of the best decisions we made for them. They attended from the age of 1 until they went to school. The staff at Yellow Star gave them such wonderful nurturing care, and we really felt like part of a big family. I was completely confident that their wellbeing was prioritised, and they felt secure and safe. They came home with such fun stories about their day and the boys are so pleased to see the staff when they bump into them in the village. The Yellow Star preschool prepared the boys well for starting Reception, and made learning fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yellow Star to any other parent.

Having experience of another nursery, Yellow Star's care is brilliant - knowledge and understanding, and dealing of, of food intolerances is fantastic.
I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!
Maddie and all the staff are amazing, and they've created a lovely, nurturing, fun nursery, which also helps children develop and be ready for school.

All three of our children were lucky enough to attend Yellow Star and we have absolutely loved being part of the Yellow Star family. The staff are all incredible and always go the extra mile to nurture each individual child's development. We were so sad when our youngest left nursery but so very grateful to see him thrive at school as his sisters did because of the excellent start from Maddie and the team

Maddie has been incredible, always welcoming and accommodating. And she leads a fantastic team. Every staff member showed genuine care and kindness towards my son. He loved going in each day and always came home smiling.
The nursery regularly takes the children out on lovely walks, whether to the library or to visit the ducks, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. He also loved the enrichment classes on offer, including signing, yoga, and Tiny Mites.
We were so sad to leave, but we will always hold Yellow Star very close to our hearts and are incredibly grateful for the wonderful start they gave our son.
Yellow star are a fantastic nursery! Both my children have attended from 9months to school age and have thrived.
The teachers take care to evaluate each child for individual needs and adapt accordingly, they really prepared my boys for each developmental step and the jump to primary school....

Every one of the staff are amazing, and our daughter still talks about how much she misses it 6 months after she left. You will not find a better nursery!!
