Set within a stunning Victorian property in the peaceful Barbourne area, Shooting Stars Nursery & Preschool, Worcester offers a warm and inspiring environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. The nursery’s location provides easy access to major transport links, making it ideal for commuting families.
The nursery is arranged into five age-specific rooms, each carefully designed with premium Community Play furnishings and a rich selection of educational resources. As children grow, their learning spaces evolve to introduce more structure, helping them transition smoothly and confidently toward school readiness.
The teaching approach blends child-led exploration with adult-guided learning, ensuring full coverage of the EYFS framework. This balanced method encourages independence, creativity, and curiosity while supporting children through key developmental stages.
To help parents stay connected and reassured, the nursery offers ParentCam—a secure CCTV system that provides live access to their child’s day. The nursery app complements this by sharing daily updates, photos, and insights, fostering strong communication and a collaborative relationship between home and nursery.
Outdoor play is a cherished part of the daily routine. Shooting Stars Worcester features separate garden areas for under twos and over twos, as well as a woodland forest garden that promotes imaginative play, sensory exploration, and a love of nature.
All meals are freshly prepared on-site, with a varied and nutritious menu designed to support healthy eating habits and overall wellbeing from an early age.
On-street parking is available in marked Shooting Stars bays to the front of the nursery

Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We've had such a positive experience with Shooting Stars. Genuinely, every member of staff we encountered was professional, kind, caring and worked to the highest standards. I trusted them completely to look after our little one. Communication was always excellent and we were kept well updated. Our daughter was really happy there and became so much more confident during her time at nursery. There was also a real focus on her learning and development, with activities and support tailored to help her progress.
We're very grateful to everyone who looked after her. If you're lucky enough to get a space at Shooting Stars, I'd absolutely recommend taking it!

Our two daughters, have attended Shooting Stars Nursery in Barbourne from the age of one, and we could not be more grateful for the care, kindness and support they have received. Our eldest is now four and preparing to leave for primary school in September. Shooting Stars has played such an important part in helping her grow into a confident, happy and caring little girl. Her reading, social skills, problem-solving and emotional understanding have all developed so much. As a family, we have been through house moves, bereavement, the birth of a new baby and lots of change. Throughout it all, the team have been incredibly supportive, consistent and understanding. The nursery has truly felt like a family away from family.
Our youngest has now moved into her next group, and we feel so reassured knowing she continues to be cared for in such a warm and nurturing environment. We feel very lucky to have found Shooting Stars and cannot recommend them highly enough.

My little boy has started here this year and we honestly could not be happier with our choice of Nursery! As first time parents, finding a nursery right for you is not the easiest process. We both have intense careers too so it was really important that we found the right place to be worry free whilst at work!
The staff have been nothing but wonderful ! My little boy has been in the baby room for a few months now and he is thriving! The staff are so friendly, caring and helpful offering advice when needed. We have a lovely amount of updates which provide us with reassurance throughout the day! I was worried about sending my little boy for four days a week but in actual fact, it was the best thing we've done as he just absolutely loves it! I can't recommend the nursery enough and I am so thankful that we chose shooting stars as our nursery.

Our 21-month-old daughter joined in June 2023. She’s virtually full-time at the nursery and is absolutely thriving thanks to the excellent care and facilities at the nursery. Her eating skills, speech and physical development are coming on leaps and bounds. The staff are so attentive, caring and focused on the children’s development. Key carers are identified for each child and meet with parents regularly to discuss each child’s development. Regular updates on your child’s day and pictures of their activities are shared regularly on the parent app. A varied and balanced menu is offered for the children and has helped us avoid having a fussy eater (so far!). The outdoor area is a real highlight - the kids look so happy out there each day learning and playing.
We toured a few nurseries in Worcester and this one felt like the best fit. Nine months in, and we’re absolutely sure we’ve made the right choice for our child’s nursery care.

From day one to now, when our incredible son is being moved up to the Toddler room - Shooting Stars has been absolutely amazing! This is always a nervous time for children and parents, but everyone at Shooting Stars is just in a league of their own and makes everything just so much better all-round. The attention to detail, the love and care provided, the development and assistance, the cleanliness and facilities, and the quality of time there for all children are sensational. We can't recommend this place highly enough, and we can't thank Shooting Stars enough for all they do. We are so appreciative, and Shooting Stars deserve all the credit possible.

Our two daughters had the pleasure of attending Shooting Stars over the last three years until we moved country. The duty of care and the education our children received was top class, they loved the food and loved their carers. The staff are approachable and give you a sense of ease that your children are being well looked after. The facilities are great, would highly recommend.

Our son has thrived under the care of the team in the pre-toddler room and I was nervous for his transition into toddler 1. But the team have ensured he has continued to thrive and enjoy his time at nursery. It is also wonderful that the lady has been able to support him from the baby room all the way through to toddler 1. We are really grateful for her care for our son.
I also wanted to express our thanks and appreciation to the lady in toddler 1. She spent at least 10 minutes with my Mum on the day she picked our son up. She showed her around the room, the view into the garden and spent time discussing what he had done with great detail. It meant a lot to my Mum, and to us! Thank you all for everything you all do to support our son and our family.

I joined Shooting Stars in 2011 when we had just one nursery setting. I was originally employed in the role of Deputy Manager at our Stourbridge Nursery, then in 2013 I began the role of Nursery Manager, moving into the role of Area Manager in 2015. I’ve worked in Early Years for 28 years.
Prior to joining Shooting Stars, as well as working in a range of practitioner roles, leadership roles, and senior leadership roles within day nursery settings, I have worked as part of a specialist support team with children who were paralysed through spinal cord injury, and I began my career as a nanny. It is safe to say I have been part of the team at Shooting Stars long enough now that it is as much a part of me as I am a part of it!
I am really passionate about creating magical childhoods that grow excited, curious children and provide the best foundations for successful lives. I have a keen interest in well-being and believe that securing high levels of emotional well-being for children in our care underpins their capacity to thrive in all other ways. After lots of years being a practitioner creating secure and emotionally enabling environments for children first-hand, I now love nothing more than supporting the understanding and development of this throughout our teams, ensuring it is fostered deeply in our culture.

Kully began her journey with Shooting Stars Nurseries in September 2014 as the Nursery Manager of the newly opened Wolverhampton setting. In 2022, she progressed into a strategic role, joining the Area Management Team as a Strategic Development Manager.
Her career in childcare began as a Level 2 Apprentice, followed by the completion of her Level 3 qualification. Since 2004, Kully has held a variety of leadership roles, including Room Leader in both Pre-School and Under 2’s, Deputy Manager, and Nursery Manager—spending 16 of those years in management. These experiences have shaped her deep understanding of early years education and operational leadership.
Kully is particularly passionate about the development of children under two, with a strong focus on building secure attachments and nurturing environments that support emotional well-being and early development. She also brings extensive expertise in Health & Safety, SEND, and Safeguarding, which are central to her practice and leadership.
A key focus of Kully’s role is supporting the growth of the early years workforce. She is committed to empowering staff through continuous professional development, helping them build confidence and fulfilment in their roles. Wellbeing is at the heart of her approach—she strives to foster a positive, supportive workplace for teams and a safe, inspiring space for children.
At Shooting Stars Nurseries, Kully plays a vital role in welcoming new team members through New Employee Workshops and mentoring apprentices throughout their training journey, helping shape the next generation of early years professionals.
Outside of work, Kully enjoys spending quality time with her family and attending football matches as a proud supporter of her local club. She also loves exploring new cities, dining out, and meeting new people.
