My daughter attended this nursery for nearly 3 years (2022-2025) and we are very happy with them. She enjoyed her time at the nursery and formed good bonds with all her key workers. The nursery helped immensely in developing her language skills, potty training and learning about alphabets, numbers, rhymes. In essence, making her ready to attend Reception. During her time at the nursery, they provided regular updates via their app on whether she had food, nappy changes, nap time etc. Good safeguarding. They prepare a note on all injuries, either sustained at nursery or at home. Activities are quite engaging and extensive. They have music, yoga, arts & crafts etc. They organise semi-annual parent-key person meetings, providing detailed progress reports. Also, they organise Christmas parties, mothers/ fathers day tea parties etc for the children and parents. Keep up the good work!

Learning Stars has been such a great experience for my two year old niece. She started in the baby room, and we’ve seen her grow so much especially in her confidence and speech. She now talks about her teachers and friends all the time, which is lovely to hear. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and hardworking. They always give us a proper handover and keep us updated with any concerns. It’s clear they really care about the children and go above and beyond to support them. One thing I really love is how they celebrate all the special events and occasions whether it’s cultural celebrations,anniversaries birthdays they make every child feel included and excited. The activities they do are so well thought out and really help the children learn and develop new skills. With the Montessori approach, my niece is learning through play and independence, and she genuinely looks forward to nursery every day. It’s a safe, welcoming place where children are happy and thriving. I’d definitely recommend Learning Stars to other families!

Learning stars really is the best nursery around. We feel lucky to have found such a friendly, nurturing place for our daughter. She has been attending for over 2 years now and comes home every day buzzing with chatter about her friends and favourite staff. Her development has really accelerated - she’s learning so much there. The communication is great, facilities clean and spacious, and the huge garden is a real plus.
