Review from B H (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The setting has been excellent for my child she settled in with time but I had amazing support from all the staff. The staff have overall been very welcoming and supportive because my child was very upset in the beginning when she started. I am overall very pleased with the setting itself.

Review from Justina V (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I really like this nursery, and so does my little one. It is a small nursery with a close-knit team, which I really appreciate there aren't hundreds of children running around. The staff are very communicative, friendly, and always helpful. My son loves going there, which says everything. We attended another nursery before, but this one is truly excellent. I would happily recommend it to everyone. 5 stars, if I could give more, I would!

Review from Suraj S (Father of Child) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been so impressed with the team and learning environment at Shining Stars. Our son has learnt so much in terms of his vocabulary, counting, and independence. The facilities are clean and engaging, and they spend a great amount of time outdoors, which my son loves. I also appreciate the transparent communication via the app/email. The staff are always available to chat about his progress. We feel completely confident that he is being well prepared for big school later this year. Thank you to the whole team!

I like how the pre-school feels so much like a welcoming home. All different ages get to play and learn from each other. The staff are always lovely and attentive. It's also perfect temperature in the play room which is great.
