Inclusion & environment
Staff teach children good communication, language and literacy skills, for example they use sign language throughout the day. This supports all children, particularly for those who speak English as an additional language or with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Children develop a strong understanding of the world. They plant and grow an abundance of fruit, herbs and vegetables in the garden, such as lavender, pumpkins, pears and figs. Staff provide good support to children's physical development. For example, children balance along planks and climb on frames with skill.
A lovely nursery that both of our children attended. The staff are lovely they go over and beyond. Highly recommended
Read on GoogleOur daughter attended MiniStars for 18 months until we relocated to another district of London. She was always so happy and content going to MiniStars and would run in excitedly every day she arrived at the nursery. It is friendly, professionally run and the lovely staff genuinely care about the children. I could not recommend this place highly enough. Thank you to Marie and the rest of the MiniStars team, we'll miss you!
