Shining Stars Day Nursery - Illingworth Road

We have experienced both the baby room and the toddler room and both offer so much for the age group. We are looking forward to enjoying the preschool room and getting my daughter set up for school in a few years.

Brilliant nursery, staff helpful and keep you updated on everything. Chloe in particular, has really helped my son to settle at nursery, and he absolutely loves her! Couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Both of my children attended Shining Stars - my youngest is still currently there. She is in the toddler room, her key worker, works so close with me, even over messages when my daughter isn't in nursery, to discuss things we are working on at home (such as shapes, colours, numbers, potty training) - this to me, shows that the staff have an interest in the children's life.. I think having a good parent-staff relationship is very important and this definitely is such a positive about Shining Stars. Every time I collect the toddler room always looks (and sounds!) like a happy, busy, stimulating environment. Any issues I've had in the past have always been dealt with in a helpful, positive way by management. When I am at work I know my daughter is in safe hands and is so happy to be at nursery.

Absolutely wonderful nursery. The staff are so helpful, friendly, and above all caring,loving, and nurturing with the children. The daily posts via the app are also a great feature, and I love to see what my grandson has been up to and eaten. Oh, and the menu and food are fantastic.

My child love coming in and you are all so good with my children and you understand my children needs and you have put things in place for my children my kids come home and talk about all the stuff and how's nices they are do them

I can't recommend Shining Stars enough it is such a lovely atmosphere and the activities/ resources available to the children are great. The staff are brilliant and work so hard and this shows as my son adores them all and loves going to nursery.

From the start this nursery has been 5 stars. Good communication and staff are excellent. Alot of support and help with extra senco needs. My child settled in so quickly and is so happy when we grab his nursery bag.

Child started nursery here in January and has thrived in every way. She enjoys the activities and the outside play and have had glowing reports daily. I'm really happy with the bond she has built with her key worker and staff in the room with her, they have a fantastic connection. The office has helped when needed, and kept up to date with any events and information. The food is a great variety and always eaten. Overall really happy with her settling into nursery here, and how I'm being updated. Daughter has really come on leaps and bounds and enjoys her nursery's days.

Highly recommend to others be sad to see my children leave when the time comes for them both to leave.

What a fantastic setting, the staff go above and beyond for each individual, both my children have attended shining stars, my eldest boy left in August but he still has the huge warm welcome and inclusion when we go to pick his little sister up. I would highly recommend this nursery setting to anyone, especially if you are a sen parent like me, all my worries soon went away when he started here. Amazing with advise and the support from management is absolutely outstanding in every aspect. The play area is fantastic, the meals are nutritional, the setting is extremely clean and safe, learning and development activities are phenomenal, and the love and care that staff give is warming. My children absolutely love it her and have made huge progression within their development.

I am just in awe with how well they have helped my little boy! It's taken him a while to get used to it, but the care and support the team have provided to help him, amazes me. He is now excited when I ask him in a morning if it's time for nursery! Everyone in the team is so helpful, kind, easy to talk to and just make me feel at ease when they look after my child.

Never had any problems as the service all the staff provide is impeccable. Both my children have loved attending to the point of not even wanting to come home when it's home time, which just makes you realise that your children are in safe hands and attended to the way you would wish. Thank you massively for making such a great impact on my children's lives.

Had a good time both my children enjoy it my son devon has come a long way since starting so has my daughter sapphire they both are happy when they attend and always have fun with other children when there

My daughter has been attending Shining Stars since she was 9 months old, and it's been a fantastic experience from the very beginning. She settled in so quickly, which I believe is a real testament to the caring, attentive staff who clearly love what they do and genuinely care for each child.

Shining Stars has a warm, homely feel that instantly puts both children and parents at ease. Every day my daughter is excited to go in, and it's been amazing to see how happy and confident she is there. The staff take the time to get to know each child individually, creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

I couldn't be happier with the care she receives, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful team who make the nursery such a special place. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend!

Our child has come in leaps and bounds since joining the nursery. They have gone out of their way to help her settle in at her own pace. The team, especially the chef, have been dedicated to meeting our child's dietary requirements as she has multiple allergies and many places would struggle to meet her needs. We are confident our little one is in great hands while we are at work which means the world to us.

Nothing but great things to say about Shining Stars, key workers are amazing! They go above and beyond to keep us updated throughout the day on general things and send posts & messages of activities the kids get up to. The nursery manager is lovely and is more than happy to have a meeting to talk/update on any comms that have been distributed! My son walks in & out of nursery with a smile every time, it's like his second home!

We've had an amazing experience with this nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and truly focused on each child's development. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities.What I love most is that they're not just there for the children they support parents too. As a first-time mum, they've helped me in every way possible, especially with my child's communication & dietary needs, which hasn't always been easy. We're very grateful for all the advice and support they've given, especially as he can be a handful at times.My little one has grown so much and comes home happy every day. A genuinely nurturing and supportive nursery Highly recommended!

I was trying to get a placement for my kids for the first time and it was so difficult, then I came across Shining Stars.

My kids were leaving home for school for the first time so my demands and expectations were high but shining stars too care of it. My kids are happy, when I come to pick them, they communicate better and can accommodate others within the same space.

The staff team is amazing and I get multiple feedbacks about my kids and how they are working to improve.

I will definitely recommend Shining Stars any time, any day.

I would also want to ask for a possible price reduction especially when kids are doing long days, so more families can enjoy the amazingness of the service.

Fantastic nursery! All the staff are incredibly helpful and all the kids are well looked after. My son always enjoys going and is always learning. The staff and management are easily approachable and always happy to help.
