Such an amazing nursery. The staff are kind and welcoming. My eldest daughter attended and graduated from Rising Stars, and now my son attends as well. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place that truly feels like home!

I couldn't be happier with the care my child receives at Raising Stars. The staff are incredibly warm, and genuinely passionate about child development. My daughter has blossomed since attending and becoming more confident, social, and eager to learn. The activities are creative and educational, the environment is safe and welcoming. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating place for their little one.

Our son has been in Rising Stars since April when we moved to Woodford from central London. We were concerned about him settling in but shouldn’t have … he has thrived there and lives going. The staff are warm and friendly and the activities fun and educational. Would very much recommend.

My daughter enjoys every day at nursery! Staff members are very friendly and spend time with the kids. She feels very loved and happy. They do a lot of different activities: such as drawing, singing, dancing, reading and crafting which keeps children busy at all times. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff members that look after my daughter and make sure she feels good while I work!

My son was only at Rising Stars for 8 months after his previous nursery closed suddenly, however, during this time he formed strong bonds with his peers and staff and was sad to leave to start school. The Rising Stars team are so friendly and caring. There is a real family vibe to the nursery. They always go the extra mile in terms of events and activities, and ensure parents are kept updated via Tapestry and monthly newsletters. I can’t recommend Rising Stars highly enough - the only downside is that we didn’t start there sooner!!
