Star Early Years Provision has been exceptional for my 1‑year‑old daughter. Sabrina consistently goes over and beyond to make sure she is happy, settled, and thriving. Tara is incredibly supportive and understanding of the challenges working parents face, and her flexibility has made such a difference to our family. The whole team is caring, reliable, and dedicated. I highly recommend them.

Our 18 month old son has been going for almost a year now. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and service provided by Tara and the team. We’re never in any doubt he is nurtured and cared for as he would be at home. The children across the age ranges play together, which has really helped our son’s development. It’s also been nice to see the older children help him and show kindness. Communication is excellent, with email notice before each week explaining the activities and book focus. As well as daily text updates when wanted. Day trips out are frequent, which shows how much the staff like to go the extra mile. They’re also incredibly accommodating around drop off and pick up. A wonderful nursery with an excellent team.

Absolutely fantastic nursery/holiday club/after school provider!! Dion thoroughly enjoys spending time here and I wouldn't trust anywhere else. During school holidays there are plenty of day trips covering such a wide range of activities to keep him entertained which I think is extremely important to keep him stimulated. All the staff are knowledgeable, kind and friendly and I am happy knowing my child is happy and safe there. Thank you Star EYP, keep up the great work x

Our girl is very happy here and comes home having learnt new things every day. She loves the staff and talks about them and the other children when she’s home. The nursery is very welcoming and caring to the children and the staff keep us regularly updated about our child’s development and what they plan to help her achieve next. They take the children on educational and fun day trips which my child thoroughly enjoys. They have clear plans for what they will focus on each week and we receive an email of this to keep us informed. Lovely nursery!

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are truly amazing—caring, attentive, and so supportive. Our little boy absolutely loves his time here, and it's wonderful to see him thriving in such a positive environment. There's always plenty of parking for drop-off and collection, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free.
