Overall Experience

Amazing nursery. Within a few days of my daughter starting, she was fully toilet trained. She has made so many friends there, always looking after the younger ones. She has an amazing bond with every member of staff there. Gonna be sad when she leaves for her next chapter, but we are forever grateful for the care given to her.

Overall Experience

This is a really great place to send a child to. Both my children have attended this pre-school and have both loved it. The staff were absolutely amazing, they went out of their way to help my youngest child when she needed extra help and support. They helped both my children progress with their learning. They went above and beyond to help my youngest child settle and progress. I am so grateful to the staff at Shooting Stars for everything they have done for my children. They are all stars.

Overall Experience
My son has attended the nursery since he was 2 years old and they have been nothing but supportive helping me and my son through so much. I can not thank them enough. All the staff are well and truly amazing in how they look out for each and every child in their own way and needs! My son's relationship with his key person is so positive and amazing. He always comes out telling me what he has done.

Cannot thank you all enough. Thank you!

Review from Kayleigh O (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is currently attending Shooting Stars Pre-School, he is my third child to attend here.
I cannot praise the staff enough, they are all well trained, and really care about each child as an individual and their needs.
When the staff needed to be trained, on how to administer rescue medication, for my son, before he could return to preschool after being seriously unwell, all the staff stayed behind well after the end of their day to have the training.
I know my son is safe and happy. His relationship with his key person is so positive, and he has made progress within the preschool, especially with his speech.

There is always a wide range of activities that are always very well thought out and imaginative. The children have free flow play through to the well-equipped garden. The 'stay and play' days are always looked forward too, and we always have an amazing time.

Review from Katy B (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended since September 2019, and all I can say is a fantastic nursery. Lovely people. Well thought out activities, encourages children’s independence. Teaches them about hygiene and emergency services. The staff really care about the kids, and they handle difficult situations brilliantly with care and explanations. They encourage the kids to tidy up after themselves. I feel really positive about leaving my kids in their care. I feel like the things I teach my kids at home is reinforced there, which makes things easier. I can’t recommend highly enough. In fact, I didn’t want my son to start nursery until he was three, but it’s such a great setting, he’s starting next; week six months earlier than I planned.

Review from Frangya (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is currently at Shooting Stars Preschool. The staff here are just simply amazing. My son started preschool really struggling with speech and now a couple of months on he is communicating clearly and is saying sentences. The staff and management have been really supportive and have put on communication groups whilst he is learning and playing and really have encouraged him to achieve with positive interactions, good praise and beautiful activities which he has chosen and they have extended. The setting is set out every day the room and garden and all the children have free flow and use the space lovely. Management are always about throughout the day, welcoming and checking that everything is ok and that all parents and children are happy. I'm so pleased we chose this preschool it has been the best decision for our son, he is happy, enjoying his time there and learning more and more each day.

Debbie Goakes
I have been in childcare for over 20 years. It has always been a passion of mine to help give children the best care and education in the early years of their life. I first started with Stars Day Nurseries as a room leader when they opened their very first setting. I then returned years later as a manager in 2016 after doing a BA Honours in Professional Studies in Early Years as well as an Early Years Professional Status.

I have been at Shooting Stars Preschool since 2019 co-managing with Sallyann where we have worked together alongside the team to build an outstanding setting.
