Really loving and caring staff members. Absolutely trust my daughter with everyone working there. Thank you so much for being professional and for taking such good care of my daughter. You always support me and my daughter. I'm really grateful!
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.
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.
Cannot thank you all enough. Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
