Review from U K (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son started nursery four months ago. He wasn't talking or saying words when he started. He didn't follow instructions. Since starting nursery, he has improved so much, as he plays with his sibling now and has started saying words. He enjoys going to nursery. The staff are lovely, and they keep me updated. The manager is always there when I need her. She has helped me and my son so much. I would fully recommend this nursery to family and friends.

The nursery setting is very well presented in order to support and actively boost my child confidence for the future. I highly rate this setting environment and hope for many others who join. It is a well balanced, friendly, supportive, playful environment which is perfect for all children I believe.

Overall Experience

Very good and friendly staff. My son has settled so quick because of the staff, I am so happy about it. My son used to go to another nursery and he was not settling at all. He was crying a lot everyday but since I changed him to this nursery he’s so happy to come, so credit goes to the lovely staff who make my son comfortable.

The staff are this nursery are highly recommended; they know exactly what they are doing. My son has adapted well. To begin with, he was very nervous, but the staff made sure and put me as ease he will be fine, and true to their word, he loves going to this nursery now. Well done guys, keep up the good work.

Overall Experience

My husband and I are overwhelmingly pleased with Shining Stars. Staff have been outstanding in making every effort to nurture his needs providing him with endless time, care and love. Our son who was very shy and timid when he started at Shining Stars. He has blossomed into a confident young man in little time learning something new every day impressing everyone around. He looks forward to nursery every day.

Review from Tatjana S (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We had our first child in this nursery. After he finished nursery, we moved to another area and had a second child.
We didn’t care how far the nursery was from our house, we preferred to bring our second child here as well!
We love the nursery, the environment and staff, the staff are always waiting for kids with a smile. We always love to return here, as we always feel welcome. Shame we don’t have any more children, as both children, enjoyed their time in this nursery.

The biggest thank you to all of them!

Overall Experience

Shining Stars is a beautiful pre-school for kids, the staff are wonderful with the kids. Since my son started the pre-school I can see a lot of improvement in his activities, his relationships with other kids, playing and going on trips together. The staff are caring and relate to parents quickly of any kind of emergency. As a parent anytime I visit the school the children are always looking happy and playful.
