Both my boys go to A-stars nursery and they absolutely love it. Both go running in without looking back 😊😊. They have progressed so much whilst attending. The staff are lovely with my kids and they always come out happy and smiling

My son has come on so much since he started at this nursery, he has become more confident and his speech has improved too, the staff are all lovely and it's clear that they genuinely care about each child

We all know choosing a nursery is daunting for a first time mum. The thought of leaving your precious child with anyone let alone strangers feels wrong somehow. However A stars have been friendly and supportive from day one. From visiting the nursery I knew this was the right one for my son he loved the settling in sessions and could t wait to go back. I felt as though this nursery stood out above the rest in the area and finally felt relaxed and relieved to have found this nursery. My son has now left to start school and I have to say both myself and my son will miss this place and the wonderful staff who work here. Lovely friendly supportive staff. Kept up to date with all activities, food, toilet visits etc. Easy to contact when required and just a lovely atmosphere and family feel. Great nursery. And thank you all
