Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is strong, and they make good progress. Staff work effectively in partnership with other agencies involved in children's care, learning and development.

Outdoor space

Staff provide regular opportunities for children to exercise outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. Children show immense joy as they explore the sand tray and run in races with their friends. Children laugh loudly and have big, broad smiles when they find a puddle to jump in, and enjoy acting out parts of "The Gingerbread Man" during their outside play.

We wouldn't send our children anywhere else. All 3 of my children have gone to Ruislip Stars from 2014 - 2024 so we know it well. It is a home from home for our children, they always enjoyed going. Varied activities and food each day with photos and updates sent to us daily. The staff care about the kids and they are easy to talk to about any concerns and quick to resolve. The head and owner Shahin is simply amazing and has a wealth of experience in the child and educational sector. Even when we moved further out when we had our third child, we still went back to Ruislip Stars over choosing closer nurseries as we just knew the quality and care we would get there. They really understand working parents too. Thank you Ruislip Stars for looking after our children, the peace of mind you gave us was priceless.

Ruislip Stars Nurseries is a fantastic nursery that my husband and I would highly recommend. Our daughter started at Victoria Road but has now moved to the new St Mary's (on the Fairway) branch. Our daughter has attended full-time since she was ten months old and has thrived under the care and affection shown by the whole team. They have always provided the highest level of care and enabled her to achieve her full potential. Our daughter suffers from multiple severe food allergies and it is very reassuring knowing that she is being looked after by such a diligent team. Nicole is a wonderful leader and is working with a fantastic team. Our son also attended the setting during his summer holidays and had nothing but positive things to say - in fact he was a little sad when his time there came to an end! Thank you Ruislip Stars for being so amazing!

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year and i cannot sing its praises highly enough. The owner is fantastic and ever present, the staff, Georgia, Chloe, Nicole just to name a few are like my son's extended family and all the other staff are excellent (apologies for not writing all the names). The take great care of the children, the information provided is excellent, they help out with transitioning whether its for potty training or for naps etc. The facilities are very good and the food is greatly enjoyed. Most of all a safe, secure and friendly environment, we are at peace leaving him there in an environment he enjoys while we are at work.

If you want a clean, modern buzzing and caring nursery, then Ruislip stars is the one for your child! We were sad to leave as we are joining a nursery school, but the owner of this nursery is just so lovely! Clearly she does this business because she loves kids, she takes an interest in parents and is so friendly. The staff are so caring, and hard working. Our sons will miss here and we will be keeping in touch with the staff as we feel like family! Thank you Ruislip Stars!

My first daughter started Ruislip Stars Nursery from when she was 8 months old. When we went to meet the manager we were immediately impressed that her background and knowledge. We signed my daughter up immediately and have never regretted it! My daughter settled in very well and has absolutely thrived. The staff are very nurturing and I am fully confident she is well looked after. She then joined Ruislip Stars PreSchool – all I can say is “amazing”!!! What a great stepping stone into school life, she learns so much and has made great strides in her writing and reading (phonics). She goes on trips, bakes in the specially designed kitchen, practices reading and writing, does arts and crafts, has great freshly made food….the list is endless. My second daughter joined when she was a year old. She was a bit more of a challenge to settle in (because she was older) but all the staff and the manager were so attentive and went the extra mile she ensure she was happy, comfortable and thriving. She is now well settled and gets so excited to see the staff – a testament to how great they are with her. Both kids have done so well and I thank all staff and the nursery manager for that! Couldn’t have asked for more!!!!
