Since joining Shooting Stars Nursery Kings Norton a couple of years ago, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds in confidence thanks to the wonderful staff who have constantly made her feel comfortable and allowed her to take things at her own pace. Now in pre-school, she has a lovely relationship with both teachers and other children.
I have always felt comfortable being able to discuss any of her developments and felt well informed of her progress.
All the staff across the board are welcoming, friendly and professional, and we could not ask for a better experience from a nursery. We will be sad to leave when my daughter starts reception!
Thank you to all at Shooting Stars Nursery Kings Norton.
Thank you for your review Helen, and for your support, over the time your daughter has been cared for here at Shooting Stars. It's great to hear that her confidence has developed so well - this will give her such a great start when she begins in Reception! Thank you for your kind words about our...
Our daughter joined the nursery at 9-months-old, attending two days per week. She absolutely loves her Shooting Stars family and is always bubbling with happiness when we pick her up having had such a lovely day. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive, and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity.
We would highly recommend Shooting Stars to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for our daughter.
Thank you for your review Lindsey, it is heartwarming to read of your daughter's enjoyment of nursery and the strong bonds she has formed with her carers. Our staff team care deeply for the children and we believe, as you do, that this shines through. We also appreciate the time you have taken to...
Our son has been here for a few years now. We have to travel to get here, but it's worth it. He's built such a rapport with the staff and the friends he's made. They constantly push his learning, and his speech and confidence have come a long way. We'd definitely recommend it to others.
Thank you for your review and recommendation, Robin. We are delighted that your family has continued to enjoy a positive experience with us at Shooting Stars since joining us and thank you for choosing Shooting Stars to care for your son despite the commute! It's great to hear that you feel our...
My little boy has been attending Shooting Starts for a few years now. I have had so much support from the nursery, and the care they give my little boy is phenomenal. Since Covid 19, we have had to shield due to my little boy awaiting a heart transplant. I’m happy to say we have returned back to nursery now where Covid safe measures have been put in place to keep him and all this children as safe as possible. Such a fun, loving nursery. Nothing is ever too much. I will really miss them when he starts school in Sept. We have been really blessed with excellent care .
Thank you for your review, Claire; it is heartwarming to read that you feel supported by the team. Our staff team care deeply for the children and will always do whatever they can to ensure they are safe and happy. Our school leavers will be sorely missed, but we hope the children and parents will...
Our son loves going to nursery and loves the staff. He's about to move rooms, and I know he'll miss his key worker in pre toddlers, but sure it won't be long before he makes a lovely bond with a new one.
Even though he currently only goes once a week, the staff make a point of trying to work with us on our son's development, keeping in touch with us and checking in about what's new development wise at home.
Thank you for your review; we are delighted to hear that your son loves attending nursery and that as a parent, you are happy with our parent partnership focus and communication. We appreciate the time you have taken to leave your feedback. It means a lot to all of the staff team and management and helps prospective families to get a flavour for Shooting Stars. Thank you!
My little boy started Shooting Stars in January. He settled really well and also very quickly due to the staff all being amazing. He has come on so much since starting and loves coming to nursery, even asking to come on his days at home. Would highly recommend it to others.

We appreciate the time you have taken to leave your feedback. It means a lot to all of the staff team and management and helps prospective families to get a flavour for Shooting Stars. Thank you!
I would definitely recommend this nursery. My son has been going here since toddler room and is now in preschool, he loves it’s and loves his teachers. He is so clever and learnt so much since being there. I’m so glad I chose this nursery and gutted he will be leaving for school very soon.

Since my son joined in Sept 2020, he has grown and learned so much. The staff are all lovely, and my little one really enjoys it there. Menu choices are always good and diverse. Would definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends.

We also appreciate the time you have taken to leave your feedback. It means a lot to all of the staff team and management and helps prospective families to get a flavour for Shooting Stars.

My daughter has recently joined this nursery, and I am over the moon I found it. From the moment we viewed it, I instantly felt at ease and knew it was the one. The building is modern and light, and they have a lovely garden area.
All of the staff are so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble, and most importantly, my daughter loves going.
Thank you for your review, Laura. We really are so lucky here to have such wonderful facilities and a garden for the children to enjoy. It is great to hear that you feel at ease and welcomed by our team and that your daughter is happy in their care. We appreciate the time you have taken to leave...
The nursery premises are very clean and tidy and very well equipped. A wonderful outdoor space for children to enjoy various planned activities and play.
The nursery keeps parents updated on all the day to day activities through their app.
Thank you for your review, Ambica, we are delighted that your son has settled well into nursery well despite the challenging circumstances of COVID-19 restrictions. It is great to hear your positive feedback on our response to the Coronavirus pandemic, and also regarding communication with parents....
My son has been here since November 2020. We have all positive experiences. He has developed healthy relationships with all the staff and other children. I feel reassured with things in places such as the nursery cam and regular updates via the app. I could not recommend a better nursery. Thank you all for your continued hard work.
Thank you for your review, Laura. We are delighted that your son is happy in the care of our lovely staff team and the company of his nursery friends. It is great to hear your positive feedback on our nursery cam and communication via the app. We appreciate the time you have taken to leave your...
She's learnt so much since she's been going in the last 12 months.
I would definitely recommend it!

It is lovely to hear that you are happy with her developmental progress since attending Shooting Stars too. We also appreciate the time you have taken to leave your...
My little boy has been going to Shooting Stars nursery for almost 2-years, and I can honestly say, it was the best decision we made! I looked at 9 nursery’s in total, and none had a patch on this one, not only is the building and grounds lovely and spotlessly clean, the staff are all amazing and outstanding at what they do. They have worked wonders with my little boy, and I’m going to be very sad when he leaves this year. I have recommended this nursery to family and friends and will continue to recommend it even when my little one leaves. The parent cam in the room really helped me when leaving my son for the first couple of months as I was able to watch him and see what he was doing, it’s great peace of mind. I get updates every day with everything that’s happened that day while my little boy was in nursery and what he has been doing, even down to what they had for tea and how much of it he eats. I would like to thank all the staff at the nursery for doing an amazing job - A****!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Jade, and for your continued support over the 2 years your son has attended Shooting Stars so far. We couldn't agree more that our staff team are superstars, and we are delighted to hear that you and so many other parents are very happy with the care they...
We are so thankful to have found this nursery! After a recommendation from a friend with a child here we went for a look around and knew it was where we wanted to send our son. The facilities are great, with spacious and bright rooms, big windows for the children to see the world from, a huge garden with lots of different areas, it's a lovely place to be. The staff are brilliant and attentive, they really get to know each child. To see our boy settle in, make friends and grow in confidence has been amazing!
Thank you for your review Sophie and welcome to Shooting Stars! We are delighted that your son has settled in so quickly, making new friends and growing in confidence. Our staff team care deeply for each of the children as individuals and we believe that this shines through. We also appreciate the...
Lovely staff who work really hard to ensure that the children are cared for and that they progress in their learning. They go above and beyond to provide excellent care, and we appreciate everything they do to make our child feel so happy to go to Shooting Stars. Thank you.
Thank you for your review, Pam, we are delighted that your child is happy in the care of our lovely, hard-working staff team and is making great progress too! We appreciate the time you have taken to leave your feedback. It means a lot to all of the staff team and management and helps prospective families to get a flavour for Shooting Stars. Thank you!
My son is a completely different child now after their support and help with additional care that was needed.
Nothing is too much for the staff.
The nursery is amazing inside and outside. There is many different resources available to the children. The garden is fantastic and a great space with all sorts.
For a child who has Sensory issues the mud kitchen was very much a no go area, to begin with, but with the amazing staff, he is now more than happy to go in!
Thank you to everyone at Shooting Stars Nurseries at Kings Norton for helping shape my little boy into a more confident and happy boy.
If only all nurseries were like Shooting Stars!
Thank you for your review Carly. Our staff team will miss their leavers very much, and we would like to wish your son all the very best of luck for his next big step. It's amazing to see the children develop and flourish at nursery, growing in confidence and independence to try new things and 'have...
Shooting Stars at Kings Norton has been absolutely amazing for my son who started at three years. The staff are attentive and supportive, their log is updated regularly to show what the kids are up to. Nothing is too much to ask of the staff. Throughout the covid crisis, they have been fabulous in adapting to a stressful situation and making sure the children feel safe and secure. My little boy often comes home and likes to talk about his day in preschool. I feel that he is well looked after and is encouraged to do as many things as possible independently. A good range of activities and learning opportunities are delivered. The food is great and I am updated every day on how well my little one has eaten. Honestly do not think we could have picked a better nursery for our son to attend.
Thank you for your review, Emma. We are delighted that your family has enjoyed a positive experience with us at Shooting Stars since joining us and thank you for choosing us to care for your son. It's great to hear that your son enjoys nursery and is making good progress at nursery with...
The fun and loving teaching methods at Shooting Stars in preparation for school are better than any preschool.
The staff are without a doubt, the very best.
From one (once) anxious-mom to another, I can confidently say that for the five hours my son is at nursery, I have no concerns for my child.
There’s nothing like collecting my son from nursery and seeing a beaming smile!
Overall, a very loving and caring environment with approachable staff.
Thank you for your review, and welcome back to Shooting Stars! It is lovely to read that your son is so happy at Shooting Stars. Our staff team care deeply for the children and we believe that this is evident in the bonds they create with the children. We also appreciate the time you have taken to...
We know our daughter loves going to the nursery as every time we walk or drive past she gets excited and tells us all the things she loves to do there 'friends, toys, garden'. We especially love how often the kids are encouraged to play outside and have experiences they wouldn't at home. The structured play is also something that has proved beneficial.
We have recommended the nursery to friends who have also had great experiences.
Thank you for your review and recommendations, Sarah, we are delighted that yourselves and your daughter have had such a lovely experience with us at Shooting Stars. We really are so lucky here to have such a wonderful outdoor space for the children to enjoy. We also appreciate the time you have...
My daughter has already built a fantastic relationship with her key worker and knows and likes all her room staff and talks about them fondly at home. She also knows the manager by name, and told me one day she was her best friend and another day how one of her new peers was!
Facilities inside and out are amazing and probably the best seen. I've been particularly impressed with the level of communication with parents through planned and snapshot observations and how well they've got to know her in such a short space of time and even gone to the trouble of talking to her about turn-taking with her new baby brother, who she feels feeds from mummy all day long!
The staff are so friendly and caring, and the cam is fab reassurance.
I've already recommended them to friends.
Thank you for your review, Rachel, we are delighted that your daughter has had such a positive transition to Shooting Stars and adapted so well to her new environment, making new friends so quickly – even being best friends with the manager! We hope to welcome baby brother to come and play when...
