Overall Experience

This school is exemplary, with excellent staff members. My son enjoys it immensely and is well-treated. Initially, I was apprehensive due to the nature of my son's first school, but due to the excellent teachers within a short period, my son was already captivated by the school.

Thank you so much, she has settled so well and explores all activities, she is a pleasure to have in the setting.

Overall Experience
My niece has been going to nursery for over a year now and she has had such a good time there the staff have helped her grow and learn she has a good bond with the staff there she has made good friends with the other kids there too.

I like that you get a daily note on the activities and learning they are going to do with the kids as it helps you understand what your kid has been doing in the day there.

I have sent my child here and she is really enjoying it. Any issues I am told straight away and it's sorted straight away. No problems so far.

She has learnt so much already and she's only been there a month. Members of staff are really friendly and welcoming.

My son started in November and the staff have been so good with helping him settle in they are focusing on what he needs help with e.g. his speech. They are there for support and all in all very lovely and caring to the children which I think is amazing.

They make sure to keep us updated with what they have been doing and what is upcoming.

Review from Alena C (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started attending Stars Nursery only a few weeks ago because she was struggling at her previous nursery. I am absolutely delighted with the service she receives. After just a few days, I could see a noticeable change in her. She is happier and more confident about attending her new nursery. Additionally, she has become more confident and brave when playing with other children.
The staff at the nursery are very professional and incredibly helpful. Her key worker is always available whenever she needs support. The manager and the rest of the staff are also very helpful and professional.

I am completely satisfied with the service the nursery provides, as well as with the dedication of all the staff working there.

Reply from Diane Simmons, Manager at Stars Pre-School Paston Ridings

This is so lovely to read, watching your daughter grow and develop each day is a pleasure. Thank you for choosing stars preschool.

My child absolutely loves preschool, he actually gets upset if he's not going in.
His teachers are so friendly and made him feel comfortable from the enrolment.

They have helped with his speech tremendously, and the setting is wonderful.

Overall Experience

It's taken a while for my little boy to settle but we've had a week of no crying at drop-off time. He has made a lovely bond with one individual and it's so comforting to know that when I'm not there this lady can comfort him and give him the reassurance he needs. All the ladies are lovely and welcoming to all the children.

Reply from Diane Simmons, Manager at Stars Pre-School Paston Ridings

Thank you so much for your kind words. This means so much to us all. We love having your little one here. He has made so much progress.

Overall Experience
My little one had only been at the preschool for a short of 8 months, he enjoyed coming home and telling me everything that he has been doing at preschool and what he has learnt.
He loved coming home telling us about his friends and about his teachers, always happy to talk about them.

He loved going on walks with the preschool around the local community.

Review from N N (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am really happy about the teachers the way they are taking care of children, the way they try by all means to make kids enjoy all the activities they will be doing. I'm really happy, thumbs up to all the teachers out there. My child is not an English speaker though he enjoys being there and also now he is able to say a few words in English and he seems to enjoy being at school as he wants to go to school almost every day.

Reply from Diane Simmons, Manager at Stars Pre-School Paston Ridings

Thank you so much for you lovely words, we are seeing so much progress with your little one already. It's a pleasure to watch him learn each day.

My daughter is happy when she goes to kindergarten, that means she likes it there. I'm happy with the activities they do. The teachers team are very friendly, all the time they speak very nicely and at the end of the day they explain everything regarding my daughter's program.

My little brother is doing really well at this preschool. He has good and bad days but they’re understanding his difficulties well. I am happy to say that this is the best preschool that any of my siblings have been to.

Staff are always very friendly and have great communication skills. They are very clear and give a detailed breakdown of my child's time with them. They have gone above and beyond to ensure my child could keep attending while she was dealing with a health issue. Highly recommend.

This is amazing, thank you so much, we will miss her so much when she goes to big school. From all the team at Paston.

Review from Safina F (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at the beginning of January, and he was very attached to me, so I was worried he would not settle, but this bunch of lovely ladies managed to settle him in fantastically. The staff are so helpful, and I feel safe leaving my child in their care. His keyworker has been so amazing; she has gone the extra mile for my son, so he's happy and makes me feel less anxious. Letting me know about his day; things they did; what he ate etc, really helps. I couldn’t be happier - thank you girls. Lovely setting with lots of variety for all ages, lots to do and a lovely outside area.

Such a brilliant setting, I looked around so many different places and I knew this was the one it’s so welcoming, clean and beautifully set out for the children. I would really recommend, my little one loves going and every time it is his day to go he jumps up and wants to leave the house before it’s time and always goes on about his teachers there, just beautiful and nice people.
