Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve good outcomes. Additional needs are identified early and referrals for additional support are swift. Support plans are put in place while waiting for external agencies to respond.
Children are eager to explore the inside and outside spaces, selecting the resources and activities they want to play with. Physical development is well supported, with children running, jumping and climbing in the outside area and during their visits to local parks and playgrounds.
We've had a great experience with morning star. My daughter has been going since the opening of the nursery when was 6 months, and she has absolutely thrived! And my second is now very happily going too! The staff is fantastic: caring, well-tuned to the children's needs and very approachable. They really give great all-round care for all children, and they know the children really well. I could not recommend them more!
Read on GoogleI am extremely impressed and grateful to this nursery. I moved to Tottenham with my twins over a year ago and the progress they have made, I can only credit the nursery for. The staff and management are impressionable. I love that they are supportive, understanding, attentive and ensure the children have the best experiences growing up. They have regular trips to the library, local park, science museum, theatres, yearly beach outing and many more. Through their actions I can clearly see children are at the heart of everything they do. The staff know each child by name and always give time to each parent. From the start my children felt accepted, represented and valued. They look forward to going to nursery because it’s their home way from home and speak highly of their teachers. Staff communicate any concerns they have about my children in a respectful manner and work in great partnership for the betterment of my children. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery with the personal touch. Thank you Beverleigh for always being accessible when I make contact. Mr Mehmet my children adore you and enjoy preschool, they reenact their week during the weekend and look forward to another week with you. Nubia and Kneisha in toddler room are warm and supportive with their words and actions. Ronay, Seline, Sarah and Fiona my children love you. Their personalities have blossomed so much being at this nursery. As a mother of twins I feel reassured to know that this nursery and its amazing staff continue to work hard so my children can thrive. Words can only express my gratitude. We love you all xx
Read on GoogleWe've done extensive research since I got pregnant, went to visit so many nurseries in the area, morning star was the selected! Our son turned 1 and started nursery, he's only been with us and is breastfed. We expected him to struggle as he's only been with us, but the staff and manager were so reassuring! They helped us outline a suitable adaptation period welcomed our presence and made us feel part of the family since day one. The first day he was left alone we kept being updated with videos and pictures and reassuring honest messages. They informed me he was sleeping, followed by a really nice video of him peacefully sleeping, and videos of him interacting and playing! When we pick him up is clear that they care and he is happy! The best decision of our lives. Thanks everyone again
Read on GoogleBoth our children have been attending sessions here since 2022. Whilst we chose the nursery due to its proximity to our house, we’ve continued to be so impressed by the care and attention the staff show to the children, and the good condition of the building/its facilities. Lovely free events held for Bonfire night (a great outdoor firework display with snacks!) and Christmas (a magician to entertain the kids, bouncy castle and loads of delicious food!) were really well organized. I’ve only recently become aware of the diaries the staff maintain for the kids on the Tapestry app. It was great to discover 6 months of photos/videos and descriptions of our young boy as he’s been growing up. We would highly recommend the site for all parents located in N17 and nearby; their new nursery in Wood Green looks charming too! :)
Read on GoogleI can not rate this nursery highly enough. Our daughter has attended since she was 7 months old and has been cared for excellently, they have provided just the right amount of nurturing care combined with gentle learning encouragement. Our daughter has thrived under their care. As an LGBTQ+ family we have been very impressed with their inclusivity and have always felt welcomed. We are now moving out of the area and are sad to be leaving this nursery family, we only wish we could take them with us!
