Shooting Stars Nurseries at Kings Norton

My daughter started in September 25 in the baby room. She took longer than most to settle but throughout this time the staff were very helpful to ease this transition. There was lots of communication and advice to help us get settled in and the baby room team were fantastic and clearly really care for all the children. A testament to them is how happy I could see she was at pick up and drop off before she then transitioned to the pre toddler room. It's a big decision choosing where to send your child where you can trust they will be taken care of and I'm so glad we chose shooting stars! My daughter absolutely loves nursery and will even ask about it on weekends. She walks in happy and doesn't even look back. When we go in all the staff know her name and say hello and the atmosphere feels so friendly. She has continued to thrive in the pretoddler room thanks to all the staff there too! She loves the food too which always sounds yummy!

Any minor issues raised have always been dealt with immediately.

My daughter started in Sept 2025 in toddler room she was already communicating & doing really well but from that first day since starting the change in my daughter has been amazing from holding full sentences, social skills, more manners & more greatness has came from her.

All staff in toddler have been amazing with her the three days she is in nursery she always comes out with a happy face, happy mood & amazing feedback.

Amy, Melody & Jo thank you for working with her as now she taking the next step and going into preschool already before she 3.

Thank you to Selina & Fariha for everything when it comes to my daughter they really helped when she was settling in and everything else they do everyday.

My oldest daughter all so came to this nursery & I loved it she done amazing and the staff really worked with her and made her achieve all her steps she needed too.

Thank you to everyone in shooting stars that works my daughter. I love seeing her on the camera happy and playing.

My two children both attend Shooting Stars Kings Norton and they continue to develop and grow everyday. All staff genuinely have the greatest care and consideration for our children.

Our oldest is 2 and is in preschool and is well on her way to reading and beginning to attempt writing. Her language and confidence is brilliant and this is encouraged fully by the staff.

Our youngest is 1 and in the baby room. Their hand overs are thorough and honestly our baby is thriving and loving every moment!

Selina, Cara, Annie, Chloe, Nadia, Jo, Amy, Haleeka, Riffat are major shout outs for us. And Chef Violetta who works so hard to provide tasty, nutritious food that out kids love!

My baby has just started using Shooting Stars and I am so pleased we decided to send him here. Every single member of staff I've spoke to is kind friendly and knowledgeable. They're all so attentive and supportive. As a first time mum using a nursery for the first time, I didn't know everything needed and all the team helped me and my baby settle in well. Would recommend!

My daughter has been in baby room since September last year and all staff have been so caring towards my daughter making her happy and settled at nursery and attending to her needs it's lovely to see the bond they have all made with her. I am so happy and grateful for all the staff making her feel so welcome and I can see that she really enjoys coming to nursery :)

My child has been with Shooting Stars for 6 months now and the progress he has made is phenomenal. The staff work so hard with him to ensure he is always able to achieve his personal best. The staff always provide very informed feedback at the end of each day. The use of their app to show events throughout the day is always useful as well as the option to log in to the cameras providing transparent care. My baby is about to start at the nursery also and I have every confidence he will thrive from the very beginning. I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough.

My son started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. The staff have always shown him real affection and warmth, which has helped him settle and thrive at this nursery. Like anywhere, staff changes do happen, but we've never had any issues during transitions. The management team - especially the deputy manager - has been excellent. Whenever we've raised a concern or had a query, they've been supportive and responded promptly. I would happily recommend this nursery. Keep up the great work!

I used to rave about this Nursery and recommended it regularly to friends and family. My two children attended since 2019. I have since chosen to take my son out for pre school. Historically, communication used to be a priority, handovers from key workers used to be excellent and responses from management fantastic. However, there has been a high number turnover of staff including management. Unfortunately in my opinion, standards have slipped. In recent times I have had to contact the nursery for missed sunscreen application resulting in burns, lack of sun hats being worn upon collection on hot days. Limited handover knowledge from agency staff. Events can also also often be last minute making it difficult for working parents to arrange. Despite my son attending the nursery for nearly four years no one acknowledged his last day either which is a shame and shows the limited knowledge current staff have of attending children. Such a shame- hope it can return to it former glory soon

Nice nursery need to work on the cameras and actually updating the app and I was told to bring in a book for world book day to which the kids would be swapping but when I asked staff they didn't seem to have a clue what I was on about and instead told me to pick a book from the reception.

My son started this nursery when he was 10 months old and is now in pre-school. At every stage, he has been well supported by staff who constantly show their knowledge of him, his interests and his strengths. The staff are approachable and knowledgeable and my son has made incredible progress.

Amazing all round. Staff are friendly and motivated. They support parents and children especially when children are reluctant to be left and tailor make activities to engage them. My son is very well looked after here.

managers are approachable and listen, this was crucial for us. The manager listens to you, and the deputy manager is an asset to the company.

My son is 2 and started at the nursery in September. His older brother attended the nursery and preschool previously and had a great experience so we were keen for our youngest son to go too. The nursery was great with making my son feel welcome at the settling-in sessions and he loves going to nursery. The staff are fantastic, my son enjoys the food, and there are great resources. I get a regular update on how his day has gone which helps keep me informed. The communication with the nursery is great.

What really stands out are the extracurricular events they organize, which add so much fun and enrichment to the children's experience. It's clear that Shooting Stars goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend it to other families!

My son started at Shooting Stars in early summer and I have nothing but positive feedback for the staff here! From the second we were welcomed at the front door by smiley friendly managers to when we collected from staff at the end of the day, we experienced nothing but positivity! I was so nervous about him settling and even when it was tough and he was upset, the staff were so encouraging. He absolutely loves nursery now. The settling-in period is so well supported and has really paid off. All of the staff we have encountered have been warm and welcoming. He gets to experience so many lovely activities here. The food is varied and must be tasty as he eats a lot of it. Thank you for a brilliant first few months and we look forward to our journey here watching our little boy develop! Thank you for taking such good care of him.

Lovely nursery, my son has gone there since he was 5 months old and is now nearly 3, the development and relationships he has made since being at the nursery are all to do with the great facilities, staff and care that our children get when they attend, something we couldn't provide in quite such a way at home. The focus on development, care, fun and involvement is great, each milestone has been fully supported by the nursery. What is most pleasing and necessary is the inclusion, the nursery is so inclusive, aware of being able to cater for all diversities and is a safe environment for both children and parents to be themselves, feel we have been treated as individuals and our specific needs taken care of.

I absolutely loved the baby room for my little boy! All the staff are lovely and very welcoming, especially throughout the settling-in sessions, which provided me with lots of comfort knowing my baby would feel comfortable and enjoy his time at nursery! The room is set out perfectly to be able to support and further their development and all of the workers do amazingly with knowing their key children well.

I never have any worries when leaving my daughter here, she loves it, I know she’s safe and very well looked after!

My daughter has thrived at Shooting Stars and I’ve been delighted with her development. The staff throughout all of the age groups have been fantastic. They’ve really helped my daughter on her learning journey and they’re all just lovely people who genuinely care about each individual child and their development. I wouldn’t want to send my daughter to any other nursery.
