Shooting Stars Nurseries at Kings Norton

My daughter has developed leaps and bounds since starting in the baby room and is now in Toddlers. Great facilities, indoors and out, fantastic staff that are always accommodating and nurturing towards the children, and on collection my daughter always says "I've had a lovely day today mommy!” that’s the best feedback you can get.

My son has been at this nursery for over a year now, and he loves it. He comes home after his day, and he has so much excitement in telling me how his day has been. The staff are encouraging and caring. They have really made a positive impact on my son and his development. There are always friendly faces to greet us every morning. The open space in the garden is amazing, with all kinds of fun learning through play. The rooms are open, light and safe. My son loves the food and tries things I never thought he would even try; he gets good choices and is always offered fruit and vegetables. On picking my son up, I love to hear the singing that's coming from the different rooms. I feel very comfortable leaving my son in the hands of the staff here, and I know that staff won't hesitate to challenge something if they believe it needs to be challenged. Overall, Shooting Stars deserve the 'outstanding' Ofsted report.

I would like to thank the management and all the team. You all deserve the outstanding that you received from Ofsted.

My son has been attending for 3-months now and absolutely loves it. The staff are all so friendly and greet you even if you haven't met before. The building is large, clean and has excellent facilities. The baby room is very spacious, and the children are always playing outside, in the mud kitchen, on the climbing frame and with the preschoolers at the end of the day. The food choice is great, very healthy, and the staff has been so accommodating and diligent in applying the cream for my child's eczema. I've never had any issues with lost items like some nurseries seem to. Staff give a good debrief at pick up, in addition to the daily diary and regular observations with photos - I look forward to these so much. Overall, I am very pleased with the nursery and staff and couldn't recommend it highly enough - I have heard complaints from other nurseries that are nearly double the price!

My son started here in the baby room when the nursery first opened. I have nothing but glowing reports for this nursery. Every member of staff here is friendly, caring and extremely dedicated to their roles. Absolutely adore the manager and the team. What I love most is their professionalism at all times, their love towards every single child and the relationships they build with the children as well as the parents. Would like to give a massive shout out to one member of staff, whom my son absolutely adores and calls her his best friend. She has been a tremendous carer for my son, and he was absolutely devastated when he left her room to join the toddler room. However, she always came upstairs to see him, whenever she could and made sure he could see her, and feel safe and secure with his new key workers. She told me one morning she heard his cry and went up there to see if he was ok. He gave her a big cuddle. This small example just shows the lengths all staff members will go here!

An amazing nursery with incredibly welcoming staff. Our little boy loves going, ready and eager for big hugs from his key worker. He has progressed a lot since joining, and we always look forward to the daily log to see what he's been up to.

I would recommend Shooting Stars to any parent.

Fabulous nursery, very well-led. My son has grown so much since attending this setting, his progression academically and socially has been so lovely to witness. He has so much fun here and loves coming on his days; he runs in very happy. He has made friends and gets excited to see these friends in his room. A change from childminder to a nursery setting was just what he needed to grow.

Highly recommend Shooting Stars at Kings Norton. The girls and the manager have been great. When I come there is a warm feeling, all the staff are friendly. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my son. Thank you very much, Shooting Stars, for helping my son!

My little one loves nursery, staff and peers alike. They have learnt so much across a variety of topics, the food is healthy, the garden great and the staff really friendly. Communication from the nursery is also good.

My son has been going to Shooting Stars nursery since he was 7-months-old, so for almost 3-years now. All of the staff are amazing, and I feel so comfortable leaving my son with them. They all go above and beyond to make the kids feel happy and it really shows. I will be sad when the time comes for my son to start big school and leave the nursery. They have helped my son in so many different ways, and I am very grateful to them for taking such good care of him.

My little boy is in the baby room. He started in January. He’s settled so well, and I’m so pleased with all the lovely activities he gets to join in with. He loves climbing and playing outside. The staff are so friendly and caring, and they have got to know him so well. We love Shooting Stars!

Absolutely fabulous nursery that I can’t recommend enough. Nothing is too much trouble, and all the staff have been so great in helping my child settle in. We get great feedback every day about what they have got up to, and lovely photo updates as well. The facilities are excellent, with a lovely outside space that is often used. Really wonderful nursery!

Shooting Stars nursery is amazing. My son started in September 2021 and really struggled with socialising with other children, but since going to Shooting Stars, he is much more confident in approaching other children to play. My child is a super fussy eater, but recently, he has been encouraged by the nursery to try new things, and him being in this new setting with the other children, has really helped. Thank you, Shooting Stars, I have a happy, confident little boy.

My daughter's been going to the nursery since her first birthday and will be two next month. I have never had a problem with the nursery, and whenever I have asked for help or support, they have always been there to lend a hand; they have been brilliant, and my daughter loves being at nursery. Also, the communication between the staff and parents is amazing. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else, and the way she has developed since starting is so lovely, they have helped my daughter to shine. Being a lockdown baby, they helped her break out of her little shell, and she is so outgoing and confident. I couldn't thank everyone that works here!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost 2-years, and it was the best decision we made to choose Shooting Stars. The standard is exceptional both, safety, day to day care of our child, education, a wide range of activities, huge outside space and also their warmth and friendliness towards us as parents. All staff, management and catering staff are so friendly and genuinely care about the children in their care and their health and development. I could not rate or recommend this nursery and its staff more highly.

My granddaughter has flourished since she started this nursery - it was a bit of a rocky start as she picked up a lot of viruses, but once she got over this hurdle, there was no stopping her! The building itself is quite new, large and well laid out with wonderful outside space, but this is not what makes this nursery - what makes it is the wonderful staff who genuinely have your child’s best interests at heart. My granddaughter has formed some lovely strong bonds with several staff members, and I am more than happy with the service provided.

I am really happy with the overall service offered to us. My son is always happy for another day at the nursery, where they offer really engaging activities with relevant educational content. The staff are well trained, and they really care for the children. Overall, I think this is a very good environment for a child, and it allows for peace of mind for the parents.

My son loves nursery. They have so much that they do every day. It’s lovely being able to see my son at nursery on the camera. I find it very reassuring as I can see him happy and learning, as well as playing. The app is brilliant too, as it has a detailed description of what he’s been up to, what he’s eaten, plus pictures get uploaded of him so I can see things that he’s making. He often asks me if he can go to nursery on the weekends. He settled in there very quickly, he’s adapted to their routine, making many friends here, he really gets on well with everybody. He loves the garden, especially the sandpit. The staff are always on hand to help in any way. Every single staff member makes you feel very welcome, there are always big smiles from everyone; it’s such a warm and friendly atmosphere. I feel very happy that my son is in their safe hands. I highly recommend any parent to send their child to Shooting Stars nursery.

We love the app system, so we always know what she has been up to. Each week there is a theme, and it’s great hearing what she gets up to.
