Our experience with Shining Stars Nursery in Halifax has been very positive. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly care about the children. Communication is consistent and helpful, which makes us feel confident about our daughter's care!
The environment is clean, safe, and well-organized,
with plenty of activities that support learning and play. They also make good use of outdoor space.
The food is varied, nutritious, and they're thoughtful about dietary needs.
Since starting, we've seen great progress in our daughter- she's more confident, social, and curious. It's lovely to see her so happy and settled.
Overall, we feel very lucky to have found Shining Stars Nursery and have recommended it to everyone we know!

We started in January, and the staff have all been so lovely and welcoming. Getting the updates in the app is great too, and there are plenty of pictures from their activities as well. There seems to be a good variety of meals and snacks, and staff will always give a verbal update on the day at
collection time too.

My daughter attends this nursery and I couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives. From the moment we first visited, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and reassured. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual, which really shows in how happy and settled my
daughter is when she arrives each day.
The team are warm, patient and clearly passionate about what they do. They create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable to explore, play and learn. My daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting, and it's lovely to see how excited she is to talk about her day when she comes home.
The activities they provide are thoughtful and engaging, helping children develop socially, emotionally and creatively. I also really appreciate how well the staff communicate with parents. Updates, photos and feedback about my daughter's progress always make me feel involved in her learning.

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

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.

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.
