Hi,
Choosing Stars Pre-School Dogsthorpe has been the best decision for our child's early development. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly warm and inclusive. The staff are not just professionals; they are nurturing mentors who have formed genuine, high-quality bonds with the
children.
We have seen a massive boost in our child's confidence and independence. They particularly love the outdoor play areas and the creative 'free-flow' activities that keep them deeply engaged. Communication from the nursery is excellent-we receive regular, meaningful updates on progress and daily milestones, which gives us total peace of mind.
The setting is exceptionally well-led, maintaining its 'Outstanding' Ofsted reputation through a curriculum that challenges children while making learning feel like a joyful adventure. It is a safe, stimulating, and diverse environment where every child is truly valued. I just can say: THANK YOU

The nursery staff are amazing, they always go above and beyond to help in anyway they can. My daughter has been at the nursery since October 2024 and she has thrived in ways we didnt think she would, they have supported my family through personal issues outside of the nursery an Honestly it was the
best decision I made choosing stars day nursery dogsthorpe for my daughter to attend. Thank you

My baby boy has been attending nursery for just over a year now and I believe I am now in a great position for an honest review.
I must say everyone at Nursery is exceptional!!. The communication with the parents, the well being of the little ones, I genuinely cannot find fault with anything. My
little one has had a couple of different key persons over the year, due to natural occurrences such as his age group changing and people going on leave but each key person has been just as amazing as the last. I have never felt more confident leaving my son anywhere besides family but he loves the nursery so much it is an easy choice for both of us.
The activities and different events run by them give the little ones so much joy whilst making their learning experience so wholesome. They also give genuine feedback about my little one's day at the end of each day and it tells you just how much care the kids get.
Kerry is amazing, and the team she runs is just as amazing as her!!

This setting has been an absolute godsend. My daughter didn't speak a single work when she started and now mostly thanks to the staff and management she has a very good language set. She is now able to communicate and express herself to family and friends. She thoroughly enjoys going to school and
has a great amount of love for the staff at the nursery. I could not have asked for a better setting to put my youngest daughter in. I have 100% trust in the friendliness and capabilities of the ladies working here and I highly suggest this place for any parent to put their little ones in. If your looking for fun safety and education in one place then this is the only choice you should make.

We are beyond grateful for this nursery! It's truly heartbreaking that we have to change nurseries due to our move to a new area. I am a mother of a wonderful little boy, and I was quite anxious about sending him to nursery when he wasn't even two years old yet. However, these amazing teachers took
such great care of him.
I could see how my child was growing, how excited he was to go to nursery every morning, and how warmly he was welcomed by the teachers. I cannot express enough gratitude to them and the entire team for being there during the first years of my son's life. They taught him, sang with him, played, and comforted him when needed. They created an environment where he felt safe, happy, and loved.
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to the whole team - you are truly the best!

My daughter started at Dogsthorpe preschool and has been the best experience for her and us who was very clingy at first and struggled. But now she has shown so much improvement that has started walking, talking lots and singing all day long and shows she loves all the staff by running to them. She
loves going in and never wants to leave and just seeing that little smile makes us so proud of all the staff. Thank you to all the staff and chose the best setting for her.

This year will be my daughter's last year at the nursery because she's going to school this September. I just want to say thank you to all the staff who've been looking after my daughter since she started nursery specifically for my daughter's key worker. She's a nice lady, really cares about her
and is really supportive of us and she's looking after her like her own kid. A big massive thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart.
