From day one, the staff have been amazing with him, they know him inside out. They show a real care for him and you can just tell they adore him like one of their own - Not just the staff in baby room but managers, the chef, the staff who don't even work directly with him!!
The handovers from the baby room staff are always detailed and honest. He loves coming to nursery every day!
Any minor issues raised have always been dealt with immediately.
We are incredibly proud of our team and their commitment to building strong, caring relationships with every child. Knowing that you feel he is known,...
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.

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!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that your little one has settled in so well and that you've felt supported from the very beginning. Our team works hard to create a welcoming, reassuring environment for both children and parents, especially when it's...
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 :)
Seeing those special...
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic review. It's wonderful to hear how confidently your child has grown over the past six months and how supported he feels by the team. Knowing that our approach to learning, communication and transparency is making such a positive difference means a great...
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!
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review. It means a great deal to our whole team. We're delighted to hear how well your son has settled and how supported he has felt from his very first days in the baby room through to his time in toddlers. Seeing children thrive as they grow in...
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
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate the trust you've placed in us over the years.We have recently undergone a change of management & staffing transitions, and we are sorry to hear that you feel service level has been impacted as a result. We acknowledge the...
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.
We're really pleased to hear you value the nursery and our team's efforts to support both children and parents. We're sorry to hear there was some confusion around World Book Day and issues with the app and cameras, which have since been rectified - we appreciate you bringing this to our...
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.
It's been a joy to support your son's journey from baby room to pre-school, and we're so pleased to hear how well he's progressed. Our team works hard to get to know each child individually, so it's wonderful to hear that his interests and strengths have been nurtured along the way. Thank you for your kind words and continued trust in us!- The Shooting Stars Kings Norton Team
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.
We're so pleased to hear your son is well cared for and that our team has helped make those tricky drop-offs easier with tailored activities and support. It's lovely to know you feel confident in our staff - and we're glad NurseryCam adds that extra reassurance too.Thank you for your recommendation!- The Shooting Stars Kings Norton Team
Our daughter has formed strong bonds with two members of staff in particular and loves being greeted at the door by them. If she is upset, they play with her, and she enjoys different activities throughout the day. They also know her routine and try to pay attention to her individual needs.
The nursery cam is a huge pull factor as you can see how your baby is doing during the day. The
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.
Thank you very much for your review, it's great to hear that your child is enjoying her experiences at nursery so much and that you as a parent feel listened to. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and prospective families.
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.
Thank you so much for leaving a review for our setting, it is much appreciated by our team and management. It's great to hear your little one settled in well, following in his big brother's footsteps, and that you find the communication with parents effective. Many thanks.
Our son absolutely loves the food and happily eats every meal they prepare, which is a testament to the quality and variety they provide. The nursery is also packed with fantastic resources and has a wonderful outdoor space that encourages play and exploration.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our setting and provision, we'd like to thank you for your continued support as your child has grown through the nursery with us.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our baby room at Shooting Stars Kings Norton. Our team members really appreciate your feedback about the standard of our facilities and our staff team. Many thanks.
I never have any worries when leaving my daughter here, she loves it, I know she’s safe and very well looked after!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our setting, provision and team, we're delighted to hear that your little one is happy attending Shooting Stars. Many thanks.
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.
Thank you for your kind review! Hearing that parents are happy with their child's development and the care provided by our team is music to our ears. Thank you for your continued support
Staff are always happy to help and are very engaging with the children!
The nursery always looks well-presented and clean!
When any concerns are raised the staff and management are happy to listen, help solve any concerns and reassure you.
