Shining Stars Day Nursery, located in Halifax, Calderdale, has been operating since 2018 as a childcare on non-domestic premises setting, catering to children aged 0-4 years. The nursery received an overall "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 24th April 2026.
Shining Stars creates an inclusive environment where children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive targeted support and make significant progress. The dedicated staff, guided by knowledgeable leaders, work closely with external agencies and families to ensure each child's needs are met precisely.
This personalised approach extends to all children, fostering strong relationships and a secure sense of belonging. The nursery promotes independence and curiosity, with children actively engaged in various activities, from exploring the outdoors to developing early mathematical understanding through play.
While the curriculum is well-planned and engaging, the nursery is working on strengthening language development, refining routines, and further embedding strategies to encourage children's self-help skills.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Staff identify children's needs early and act quickly to reduce or eliminate barriers. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive targeted support, intensive interactions, and careful planning. Disadvantaged children and those with SEND or health needs receive personalised care, and leaders build strong partnerships with families and external agencies.
Babies develop early physical skills as they climb the slide outdoors, reach for resources and make marks with chalk. Children with SEND take part in all activities, including outdoor play alongside their peers. Children cooperate during group times and outdoor play, for example, when they work together to raise a parachute.
Shining stars is one of the best nursery and I will recommend it to anyone. The care and development of my little one is brilliant"I always feel 100% confident he will be in good hands . They do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what he has done that day.My child is so happy to come to nursery every day. I can trust them with all the allergies he has and they take really good care of him whilst giving him his meals making sure everything is allergy free. The manager to the staff they are all really friendly and very helpful. The nursery is really clean and tidy all the time what I love about it.
