My daughter started Shining Stars in January of 2026, she absolutely loves it! The staff are wonderful and although she hasn't been there long, I can see a huge improvement in her social skills etc. I cannot fault this nursery at all - my daughter even refuses to leave at pickup as she loves it that
much!

The team at Shining Stars Day Nursery are so professional and friendly. My child loves going there, I can tell. They are very quick to message/contact back to any issues or queries I have and extremely helpful all the time. The rooms look very clean and tidy (as much as they can be with children)
and the staff look presentable all the time.

My granddaughter absolutely loves Shining Stars and loves the staff even more. When she is picked up of an evening she is so happy and jolly, every time and has always had lots of fun with all the different activities they do during the day/week. My granddaughter has had a birthday recently and they
went above and beyond to make her feel special on her first birthday and she has the most amazing birthday card to confirm. My granddaughter is so lucky she gets to go to Shining Stars and she shows this whenever she leaves nursery in the evening. Everyone is doing a great job. Keep it up and thank you.

Really good nursery. Staff are amazing and friendly. My little girl has come along so much since starting here. You get lots of updates during the day via the app which was really important to us when choosing a nursery. Lots of activities for children and health menu. They have an outdoor space and
go out during most weathers which my little girl loves!

Shining stars have been amazing! I was apprehensive about sending my child to nursery as I'm sure most parents are but they have gone above and beyond any expectations I had. They have such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and my child runs in every morning. I can leave there knowing my child is happy,
safe and well looked after by the staff. They have been very accommodating whenever I've asked for changes. The SENCO is outstanding! I truly believe we wouldn't be where we are now without her help and expertise. My child is thriving here and it's so comforting to see and that's down to all members of staff. I feel happy knowing I made the best decision to start my child at Shining Stars and would never hesitate to recommend them to others!

My Son is in the Baby room at Shining Stars, Clare Road and we both absolutely love it. He is very clingy so gets upset when I'm dropping him and the staff are so lovely, picking him up, giving him cuddles and assuring me that as soon as I've left he's calm. When I collect him he is always happy and
smiling playing with staff and other children.
There is a huge range of toys and learning activities indoor and out. They also provide a huge range of different foods.
Everything my son does, eats, all nappy changes and naps at Nursery is all documented on the App so I can check in on him whilst I'm at work.
I would highly recommend.

After feeling very anxious about our daughter starting nursery at very short notice she has settled in brilliantly! She absolutely loves it here and after not being apart from us for the best part of 10 months we were terrified that she would struggle to settle in!
The staff are great, really focus
on the children and helping them to develop, give all details and key achievements on handovers and are altogether fantastic! Couldn't have hoped for a better start for our daughter, thank you all so much
