My two daughters started at Stars Day Nursery Bushfield in June after a turbulent start to their childcare life. As a nervous mother, I was very quickly out at ease throughout the whole application and introductory process by the management and members of staff I came into contact with. Stars day nursery has been an absolute blessing for my girls who are aged two and three. They are the type of nursery that really cares for the children’s needs. Not only this, but Stars is great at recording required information, notifying parents of any accidents/problems, and they really take the time to explain how your children’s days have been upon collection. Credit absolutely goes to all the nursery staff here and their manager - Becca who have all really taken the time to get to know my children. They are also vigilant when it comes to medication, and administer my daughters inhaler at set times. And amongst everything else, they go above and beyond to support the children and parents. A prime example of this was last week. My daughter was having a tantrum so I was sitting down with her and giving her support. The manager heard my daughter so came out to check we were all ok. I advised her that I was just waiting for her to get it out of her system before going home, and the manager went and amused my other two in the meantime. She didn’t need to do that but it just shows what a caring setting they are. I would 100% recommend the nursery to anybody that asks, and feel absolutely confident and trusting that my girls are in the best possible place.

Brilliant nursery. My children are looked after so well with lovely and caring staff. My children always come home happy after their sessions and sometimes request to go in on days they don't need to.

My Grandchildren come home happy and tired from nursery every day they pop to grandad to pick up thier big brother and go home to bed. They learn so much everyday, I may be a little biased as I manage the nursery too but it is a great place to work and play in.
