Staff and manger they all great and very friendly. My daughter loves them and my old daughter was here last year. They are doing a great job, thank you to you all, staff and manager. The manager is brilliant and has ensured both of my daughter's needs have been met and sought professional help to support.
All of the staff are very lovely and friendly they are always happy and when my child goes into nursery he goes in and is very happy when he comes out with a staff member. It is always clean and tidy in the room and my son can't wait to go back to nursery, I wish I could keep my older son there as they have known him since he was a baby and he loves seeing the staff too.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. It is a pleasure having your son and we can't wait to have your youngest start.
My son has struggled with going into preschool, all staff he is used to are at the door to help make it a bit easier. Thanks to the staff my son has grown in his confidence. The staff go above and beyond for all the children, they are amazing all of them.
Thank you so much for your kind words. His confidence has really grown and he is a pleasure to have.
The staff set out engaging and fun activities that enhance the children's development. My daughter is always coming home with lots of artwork and various food and craft activities that she has done. I always recommend this preschool to my friends as I believe they give children an amazing start in their development and teach them skills for life. Amazing team! Thank you ladies!
Shooting Stars is a really great setting, and my son really enjoys his time there. Adding more time/hours as this is his last year before going to school.
Child really enoys going in every morning and really misses preschool over the holidays!
Staff are always very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your kind words; this is lovely to hear.
I have very good memories of this place.
The children came back happy and satisfied.
I recommend this nursery 100%.
Thank you very much - love you guys.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure having your children attend Shooting Stars. They both achieved so much and made lots of friends.
Shooting Stars nursery staff have been amazing with my little boy. He has so much fun with the few hours that he goes. He's learnt so much from them and getting him ready for when he starts school. Would recommend their nursery to my friends.
He is also so busy when he is at preschool learning through all of his interests.
Excellent group - nothing is too much trouble.
We will always do everything to can to help the children and their families.
Well caring.
My daughter started a few weeks ago, and she loves it. All the staff are very helpful and polite. They always keep me informed on what has been going on and any milestones my daughter is achieving. The app is fantastic; they upload photos and other relevant info you may need and can also talk directly with staff.
The staffs are genuine, caring, kind, and professional, but most importantly, they go the extra mile to make sure the children are happy, well cared for and loved; as well as ensuring parents are well informed, well supported and kept up to date with their children progress. One of the ladies in charge is always welcoming us with a smiley face, she’s really nice.
There are many nurseries in and around the area (some of which are closer to my home) which I could have chosen, but I have no doubt whatsoever I made the correct choice for my daughter. I am so glad my daughter has started her fundamental education at this nursery, with amazing staff guiding her and encouraging her development.
Thank you for all your care and support.
Would and have recommended Shooting Stars Days Nursery. All members of the setting are brilliant very informative and helpful, absolutely great with the children and have helped develop my little one who shows confidence and personality.
My child loved it too.
Thank you, Cintia, it was lovely to see you at the Easter egg hunt day.
Brilliant day at the egg hunt and excellent nursery.
Thank you for your review. It was a lovely event. We are glad you could come.
We had an amazing day at Shooting Stars for an Easter egg hunt. My son absolutely loved it. Overall, Shooting Stars is an amazing place for my son to be; he's loving every moment here! Will be sending his little sister here as well next year. Thank you to the lovely staff for all the activities today.
Thank you, Elina, for your kind words. It was a lovely event which we're so pleased you could come and join in with.
My child started to attend "Shooting Stars nursery" in April this year - I regret now that "Shooting Stars" wasn't my child's first nursery from the beginning. If I could go back in time - would choose "Shooting Stars" straight away with no doubts. Very pleased and highly recommend this nursery for other parents.
Thank you!
Great nursery that looks after the kids. My daughter is happy going there. Friendly staff, every time we discuss what the children were doing throughout the day. I like the app that some photos and videos are uploaded onto and get to see what my child is doing at the nursery. I am satisfied.
There's a great outdoor play area and lots of learning and play too.
My daughter wishes she could go every day. I'm pleased she enjoys her time here, and the experience is preparing her for school.
So pleased I chose Shooting Stars Pre-School. I couldn't be happier with all the help and support they have given my and my little one. My son is autistic, non verbal and lacks understanding and they've been nothing but amazing with him.
