Review from Nadia P (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have 2 children at this nursery and really have nothing bad to say. All the staff are absolutely wonderful and lovely and management will go up and beyond to help in any way they can. They are especially remarkable with SEN kids which one of mine is and will help you out with anything you may need to put your mind at ease. More importantly my kids absolutely love this place and are absolutely thriving. My SEN child has come along way and we are seeing more and more progress every day thanks to every step they have implemented just for their individual growth. I couldn't be happier with this setting and have absolute trust and faith in them and know that the children are all safe, thriving and very well looked after and that their care is and always has been the top priority

Reply from Sharon Fenton, Owner at Rising Stars Nursery

Thanks you so much. We want all children to be the best versions of their selves. We can see the development in both children too. Lets see what the future holds ..........

Overall Experience

Rising Stars are absolutely fantastic with our little boy who has attended the setting since January 2025. Our son is non verbal and autistic, they have helped us through the diagnosis process and support us and him daily with his communication and sensory needs. I wouldn't want him anywhere else.

Thank you so much, we want all children who attend Rising Stars Nursery to thrive and be the best they can be. It truly is a privilege to look after your son.

Review from Lucy H (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Rising Stars has been an amazing experience for our little boy. I was extremely reluctant for anyone to watch my little boy after he was diagnosed with a severe nut allergy, I didn't trust anyone but after meeting the staff and seeing the environment I decided to give nursery one shot. The staff always keep us up to date on anything our little boy is up to, the level of professionalism is outstanding as is the care, thought, and love shown to my boy. My son has settled in so easily and the process was thorough, informative, and easy. My son loves his staff and all the activities he undertakes daily are challenging, fun, and engaging. Every day, I know when I pick him up, he has had a great day, staff meet you at the door with a smile, fill you in with what they have done, eaten, and everything else you need to know, they never rush the end of day handover.

Thank you so much. We want all families to feel safe when leaving their child with us and we want each child to feel secure and enjoy and learn whilst with us too.

Overall Experience

The staff at Rising Stars have been absolutely brilliant with both of my children. I have been continuously impressed with how engaged and on top of things they are, especially considering that both of my children have special needs. They have been open and welcoming, they keep us updated with pictures and handovers, and the staff are always happy to see us. The girls have made so much progress at Rising Stars too, despite only having been there a short while!
