Shooting Stars Nurseries at Hinckley

This is a fantastic nursery with friendly, caring staff providing a nurturing environment. They have great indoor and outdoor resources offering a stimulating and safe environment for the children. They also have the benefit of two gardens for the separate age groups to play and explore safely. The nursery offers a good variety of food which I believe is cooked fresh on site. They have (in my opinion) a good risk assessment and processes in place in regards to COVID and I feel content that my children are safe and well looked after there.

Highly recommended to anyone who is going to send their children.

Shooting Stars is a great nursery and my little boy has been going there for one and a half days years now. I chose this nursery as it has a lovely feel to it, all the staff are very friendly and knowledgable, and there are lots of activities to help children learn and develop. Most importantly, they genuinely care for my little boy and he loves them so much. This nursery really supported parents during the lockdown and kept our child’s place without fee whilst keeping us updated regularly with any updates. My little boy was so excited to go back and still comes out every day with a huge smile on his face. I feel very lucky to have found this nursery and the great people who work there!

My daughter has had the most amazing time at Shooting Stars Nursery. She wakes up each morning excited to be with her friends, learning, playing and totally enjoying herself. The Nursery staff are truly amazing, understanding my daughter's strengths and weaknesses and knowing exactly how to bring the best out of her. She has developed brilliantly throughout her years at the Nursery, following a structured progression through the 'classes', getting to know each room and teacher and feeling totally relaxed and involved in every activity. She enjoys the creative activities of painting, role play, building, the more academic type activities of recognising numbers and letters, loves to be outdoors in the messy play and obstacles courses and so so so much more which the Nursery offers her. My son now joins her at the Nursery where he is also showing the same excitement and development which my daughter did, really bonding with the Nursery staff and feeling part of the Nursery family.

Like many parents, I struggled with the idea of leaving my son with strangers, I visited many nurseries but the first time I went to Shooting Stars and met the women who worked in pre-school 1 I knew I had found the right place. Their warmth and genuine care for all the children under their supervision is obvious to see and my son has blossomed in their care. He looks forward to going to nursery, talks about 2 members of staff, in particular, all of the time and even occasionally cries when he has to come away from nursery with Mummy. At every step, these women have supported and reassured me and my son’s obvious happiness and development speak volumes for the care that he receives. I know I made the right choice for my son’s childcare and I would encourage anyone to go and meet the incredible staff here and judge for themselves.

Shooting Stars has been a great environment for both my children. They love to go to nursery! My child particularly enjoys the external activities that come each week.

The staff are all fantastic, caring and genuinely care about the children’s well-being. They make it a fun environment and the children learn so much through play. They also help prepare the children (and parents) for school which is really helpful.

All of the staff get to know the children regardless of what room the child is in. The love and care that they give it beyond explanation. Thank you.

Shooting Stars in Hinckley is an amazing nursery. My two and half year old has been attending the nursery since just before her first birthday. All the staff go the extra mile to ensure my daughter is happy and content whilst she is there. I also like having access to the cameras in my daughter's room so I can log in and see what she’s up to. A five star nursery and would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child to attend.

Our daughter started in the baby room aged 8 months. Our baby’s key worker is lovely and has put our mind at ease. We have all quickly settled into our new routines and that’s thanks to the girls. The webcam is a great addition as we are able to check in during the day to see how much fun she is having!

Shooting Stars is a lovely caring nursery. My little boy is currently in toddlers and most importantly he is very happy. They do lots of activities and keep parents well informed. Great outside space too. The nursery cam is a great tool for parents who wish to check in and see what the little one is up to. Lovely staff who really do care for the children. I definitely recommend this nursery for any prospective parents.

Really pleased with our daughter's development and particularly since moving to Pre School 2 where the play based learning is excellent.

Shooting stars is a fantastic nursery. The staff are great and parents are kept well informed about their children’s progress. The new eyLog is brilliant and allows parents to access learning journeys and to contribute too. Our little girl has thrived there. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

My son is about to go into preschool 2, coming towards the end of his time at Shooting Stars. He's thoroughly enjoyed every day at Shooting Stars and has made so many friends. The staff are well trained, professional and clearly passionate about what they do. They work hard to get to know every child individually, preparing a varied number of activities every day - all planned to help your child make progress. However, the best thing for me as a parent is that my son (and my older son now at school) look forward to going to nursery every morning, allowing me to feel reassured about his welfare and safety while I'm busy at work.

Extremely happy, both my little ones attend. They love it and have great relationships with the staff and have made great friends. Development pace is good and I feel at the perfect level.

My daughter loves this nursery and I think that is down to the staff. The preschool 1 and 2 staff are fantastic. There are new activities for the children to do and learn about every day and I know my child is completely safe, like a home from home.

Briliant nursery, the building/grounds is fab and well maintained. Security is very good with fingerprint recognition to gain access through the first door, with a member of staff letting you into the second door. Pictures of relatives/friends and a password is required to collect your child if you are unable to.

The staff are brilliant and my daughter loves them, they communicate well and listen to things I have said. A good handover is given at the end of every day including a food diary. The activities vary and there is a wide range to focus on specific areas of development. The staff listen to the parents and children's suggestions and interests and incorporate these into the activities. There is a parent development group and also a group for the children to tell the staff what they liked/didn't like and any new things they would like.

I would highly recommend this nursery.

I would however, have preferred more one to one meetings (progress reviews) through the time there (one was provided). In addition, I would have preferred a stronger emphasis on individualised learning and development. (However, I understand the pressures and time issues that educational staff face!)

Excellent nursery, my daughter has settled really well here and loves all the staff. Highly recommend!

My daughter moved to Shooting Stars from a different nursery and it was definitely a move for the better! The increase in the standard of care and facilities was amazing. This is moving from a good to a good as per ofsted. The food is restaurant standard. All the staff are friendly and happy to help no matter how busy they are. I am so pleased I made the decision to move her to Shooting Stars and I have recommended it to all my friends.
