After looking at various different childcare scenarios for our son, we weren't sure what was best and struggled to make a choice. After meeting Dawn at Creative Stars Day Nursery - we felt this setting offered the best of both worlds: a small family run setting that still offers the diversity and practicalities of a nursery. For our little boy, it has become a home away from home. They focus on engaging with each child individually and the growth and learning that takes place as a result is extraordinary. Everyday my son comes home chattering about letters, numbers, art projects and outside play. It's incredible the range of activities they have everyday - so much more than I would be able to do in one day! Learning is fun, play based and very stimulating for the children. Dawn has a passion for early childhood education and a keen desire to make sure every child is developing their age appropriate skill set. I recommend this nursery without reserve and am so grateful that I found them.
