My daughter has settled well at Rising Stars nursery. Staff have shown genuine care for her & her needs. Children engage in various activities including outdoor play.

I have nothing but good things to say about Rising Stars Nursery. They've supported my eldest transition into Reception, and my youngest for the past year. The staff are all so lovely and attentive, and always make the kids feel so welcome. When we moved to Romford we really struggled to find a decent nursery, and Rising Stars ticked all the boxes, couldn't recommend enough!

I am very much happy with the nursery environment, the staff, the care that they give to the kids and also the activities that they make kids do is also an added point to like the nursery. I am not sure of food and hence would stay away from commenting on it but I am sure that you might have worked hard providing balanced diet to kids.

We're so thankful for the amazing care our son received at Rising Star Nursery. He was always happy to attend and came home full of stories, smiles, and new things he had learned. The staff are kind, supportive, and truly dedicated to the children's well-being and development.

Now that he's moving on to reception, we just want to say a big thank you for giving him such a happy and nurturing start. We'll always remember you with love and gratitude!

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of Rising Stars Preschool and the incredible impact it has had on my little boy. From the moment we stepped through their doors, we felt welcomed, supported, and reassured that he was in the very best hands.

The staff are simply amazing - nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. It's been such a joy to watch my son thrive under their care. He has blossomed in confidence, learned so much, and made beautiful friendships along the way. Every day he came home smiling, full of stories and excitement about what he had done.

What really sets Rising Stars apart is the supportive, warm environment they create for both children and parents. We always felt included, informed, and part of the journey. It truly is a place that celebrates each child's uniqueness while encouraging their development in the most positive and caring way.

We have sent both our children to rising stars and they both thrived in the setting. The staff genuinely care and enjoy their time with the children. We received regular updates on how they were doing and what they had eaten. Its a shame to say goodbye to rising stars. Thank you for your amazing work with my babies.

Review from K C (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Rising stars for 5 months now and he is absolutely thriving. He is learning so much each day and has made so much progress.
He has a variety to meals which he really enjoys and the staff have been so helpful in supporting areas of his development that I as a parent have discussed with them. The communication is amazing and the staff offer me advice and suggestions from their professional experience.
The nursery has the most wonderful outdoor space and my son has enjoyed going on outings as it is in a great location.
There lots of fun and exciting events to really help us feel involved, especially the recent Mother's Day tea.

The nursery has a real family feel, which shows when my son doesn't want to go home! I wouldn't have him anywhere else. Thank you Rising stars.

Overall Experience

My SEN son joined Rising Stars in January and they have been absolutely amazing with him. His needs are met daily, he is engaged and learning so much, despite him having Autism and social and communication delays as well as being non-verbal. All the girls (and men) have been exemplary with him and completely understand him and how he communicates. The SENDCO is phenomenal and an absolute credit to the team. We will be sad to leave in July.

As a first-time mum, I was nervous about leaving my baby at a nursery, but he's getting on so well and I'm so glad we've found a place that he is happy and comfortable in. The staff are friendly and encouraging. The nursery has a great range of food cooked fresh for the children. There's a sensory room with lights, sounds and textures. Zero regrets about starting him at Rising Stars.

Overall Experience

My son loves going to nursery and always comes out with a cheeky smile as if he’s had the time of his life! I am absolutely certain that he is well looked after and fed. He adores everyone at nursery and I can see the relationship building between him and certain staff members which is so sweet to watch. The staff are lovely, very informative of my child’s day and prompt with their responses in terms of emails/messages. Would highly recommend to new parents!

Overall Experience

Both of my daughters have gone to this nursery, one having left last year to reception and now it's time for my youngest to go to a big school. They grow up so fast! They both have enjoyed their time at Rising Stars and the staff have been really helpful and caring. They have developed a lot since their time at the nursery with their conversations about various subjects and animals. I would recommend this nursery to any new parents.

I cannot praise the staff at Rising Stars enough with my daughter. They have brought her development on so much in the last two years and she has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement. We will be sad to leave but they have really helped to establish firm foundations for her to start infant school.

Thanks again to you all

Overall Experience

I am heartbroken my kids are starting school and having to leave Rising Stars. My children have been going since they were 17 months old. The early years learnings are sensational. Aside from the basics of numeracy and literacy, my kids have learnt social skills like no other. They are such caring, kind and loving children and this is thanks to Rising Stars. The "family" feel of the nursery means that all the children know each other. There is so much outdoor space and my two rave about the food they get to eat. I couldn't be more thankful for the amazing care you have shown my children. Thank you.

Stephanie Charalambous Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2018
Stephanie Charalambous

My name is Steph and I am the Nursery manager. I have 14 years’ experience in childcare and hold a level 3 qualification in the children and young people’s workforce. I’m currently completing a level 5 apprenticeship in operational management. I’m very passionate about my career and strive to make a difference to children’s lives by ensuring they have the best possible start in life.

I really enjoy cooking and love to experiment with new foods, especially learning family recipes from my Cypriot and Sri Lankan heritage.

I am recently engaged, so most of my spare time is spent planning my dream wedding! I have a big interest in interior design and have been personally renovating my own home over the last few months, which has helped me to gain lots of new skills. I have a long bucket list of things I’d love to achieve in my life, so far I’ve been fortunate enough to have been sky diving, worked abroad for a Summer, swam with dolphins, climbed the O2, snorkelled in the middle of the ocean, been parasailing and travelled to lots of beautiful countries across the world and UK!

Arzina Job Title: Cook Joined: 2018
Arzina

My name is Arzina, and I am the nursery chef. I have a level 3 in food hygiene as well as training on food tolerance and allergies. I have always had a passion and talent for cooking. Ever since I was 13 in secondary school, I chose to do Food Tech, and I decided to pursue a career in this field. I am a native Mauritian. Since I come from such a diverse nation, I can speak English, Mauritian Creole, French, Urdu and Hindi. I come from a multicultural background, which produces a diverse cuisine.

As I adore cooking, I look for new recipes to try out from time to time from cookbooks, TV shows and videos online, and due to this, I love to travel around the world and try different cuisines with my family.

My favourite countries to visit were Malaysia due to the diversity of flavours in their cuisine.

I have just recently grown an appreciation for gardening and like to plant my own flowers, fruits and vegetables in my very own garden.

Lorraine Wood Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2024
Lorraine Wood

Hi, I’m Lorraine, and I’m the Deputy Manager at Rising Stars. I’m a mum to a 17-year-old daughter, and I have worked in childcare for around 14 years. I began my career as an unqualified assistant, gained my qualifications/experience and progressed to Deputy Manager. I love working with children because no two days are ever the same- I love to watch them grow and learn; being a part of their early years journey and sending them off to school with those first fundamental skills is so rewarding. I enjoy music & West End Theatre.

In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family, explore new countries and make memories along the way.

Sumeet Brar Job Title: Director Joined: 2017
Sumeet Brar

My name is Sumeet Brar. I have over fifteen years of experience in the early years and a bachelor's degree in fashion design. I hold a level 3 in early years education and a level 5 in management in early years. I started my career as a nursery practitioner and worked my way up to become a nursery manager. I managed a nursery setting for ten years and then opened two more settings under the name of Rising Stars PreSchool.

I am now the Director of Rising Stars, which is also my family business. I am proud of setting up Rising Stars, as this was my vision and my passion. I always believe in creating a healthy working atmosphere for my dedicated team. My team is welcomed like a family where we all work in partnership with parents to give the best to their child.

I have first-hand experience of working in a demanding nursery environment and know how responsible it is to take care of and educate preschool children and try to achieve their goals. I understand the importance of learning through play in a secure, safe, age-appropriate, stimulating, and fun environment.

I am happy to see children grow, develop, learn and thrive in the setting. I am committed to providing quality, innovative childcare to those families who choose Rising Stars.

I live in Essex. I enjoy walking and taking holidays that involve exploring the countryside on foot. I love going to the theatre, visiting art exhibitions, and spending time with my friends and family.

Arvinder Brar Job Title: Director Joined: 2017
Arvinder Brar

I have been a director for over 20 years and have worked in the childcare industry since 2006. I am passionate about childcare and co-own a childcare business with my wife, who was the previous manager. I have also enjoyed working in childcare, especially as my wife and I ran the business together, and our own twins attended the nursery. They have now moved on to high school. In addition to childcare, I own a property business in Waltham Forest. Outside of work, I love going to the gym, trekking, following the Wim Hof Method, and watching and supporting my football team.

Shanice Murphy Job Title: Nursery Practitioner Joined: 2022
Shanice Murphy

My name is Shanice, and I have recently joined the Pear Room at Rising Stars. Having 6 lovely children of my own, I am excited to be embarking on a new career in childcare and gaining a qualification.

My free time is spent on days out and enjoying activities with my family. I’m a massive dog lover and have 3 American XL bullies at home.

Summer is my favourite time of the year; I love to attend BBQs where there is lots of food, sunshine, and laughter with my friends and family!

I hope this year to travel more and add to my family destinations bucket list, with Turkey being at the top.

I enjoy reading old English literature. Charlotte Brontë and Hardy are my favourites. This is owed to my schooling at a Grammar school in Kent. I’m also a bit of a foodie; my ultimate favourite pastime is trying new cuisines with friends and family.
