Inclusion & environment
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They are knowledgeable about children's individual needs. The special educational needs coordinator takes swift action to provide intervention at the earliest opportunity. Staff use additional funding to support children's development.
Children develop good coordination as they participate in a range of physical activities and play with enthusiasm. For example, older children run around the hall and jump and hop when the agreed colour is called out. Younger children bounce balls with staff and try to catch them.
My daughter Shaniqa has loved her time at the nursery so far and I cannot thank staffs enough for welcoming us so warmly and their unwavering patience. We see it as a home away from home for her and feel confident leaving her in such capable hands. We would definitely recommend this lovely nursery to anyone due to their caring nature, the warm, homely and clean environment they uphold and range of activities and resources available to the children.

We were let down for our usual out of school club, panicked and asked around. Within 5 minutes had so many local mums tell me to try here! We did and well, my little boy loves it! He's so excited to come back! Makes the 6 weeks holidays easier knowing he's enjoying it!

Great nursey, lovely staff quick and honest amazing service wish I found them sooner. My son wasn't accepted by a couple of nurseries around the area due even though he’s been attending preschool since he was one, and he absolutely loves it. So by the time I contacted Little Star Childcare, I was honestly very emotional. From the very beginning, Little Star Childcare have been amazing. Their staff are incredible. I wish I could name every single person, but I have to give special thanks to the manager, Charlotte. The way she welcomed my son it genuinely felt like she was looking after him as if he were her own. The constant communication, the updates, the photos, the activities, the inclusion everything has been outstanding. My son is non-verbal, but they truly went above and beyond. They even supported me through the process of working with the council and preparing his EHCP. Their professionalism and care have been unmatched. They reached out to his old preschool to organise a proper handover, just to help him feel more at home. And even though he was only with them for a short time (as he’s now going to primary school), they still put in so much time, effort, and energy to make him feel comfortable, safe, and included. Despite being busy and fully booked with other children, they made sure my son got the attention and care he deserved. I honestly can’t thank them enough 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely be placing my daughter with them next. I just wish I had found them sooner to avoid all the stress and disappointment we experienced elsewhere. One great piece of advice I received from the team at Peter Pan Centre was to look for nurseries or preschools that are connected to a primary school if your child has SEND or additional needs. That advice changed everything for us, and I’m so grateful I followed it.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and support Olive has received at Little Stars Nursery since she started in October 2024. From the very beginning, the team made her feel so welcome, and it’s been such a joy to watch her grow in confidence and happiness each day. Olive has truly flourished during her time here, and that is entirely down to the dedication, kindness, and genuine passion of the staff. They create such a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to learn, explore, and be themselves. The variety of activities are fantastic — always thoughtfully planned and engaging and we especially love how much time the children spend outdoors. It’s clear how much effort goes into making each day fun, stimulating, and enriching. The healthy, balanced meals are another wonderful touch and give real peace of mind as a parent. Thank you all for everything you do — it means more than we can say. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Little Stars family and we couldn't recommend the Nursery enough! ⭐️
