Little stars really helped our daughter settle in to their childcare setting.. After staying at home with mummy until 3 years old she struggled with separation anxiety terribly. Lisa and Phil made her feel comfortable and welcome to the point where she eventually would skip down the path and not look back. It really put our minds at ease knowing she was being well cared for.
I can't recommend little stars enough.

This is a really nice setting with a dedicated husband and wife team, my 3 year old son really enjoys spending time here, my 5 year old son gets dropped off and picked up from the local school with no issues and also enjoys spending time with the couple.
The couples 3 daughters enjoy playing with the children welcoming them into their home, they are a really asset to the setting.
Negative points this is a childminders and not a nursery, the couple do need to take time out for family holidays, sickness etc. If you can arrange childcare to cover these short periods this is an ideal setting, (they always give plenty of notice for planned closures, emergency closures for sickness can be more challenging).

My 2yr old has been going to little stars and he thoroughly loves it.
He loves the animals, rabbits, chickens to name a couple and he asks me to go which is great as usually I am dragging him up to pre school :(
Can't reccomend Lisa and Phil enough ??

I have used Lisa and Phillip on many occasions, and my daughter is always happy to be there and I'm reassured that my daughter enjoys her time with them, Lisa and Phillip are always kind, calm and patient with my daughter. My daughter enjoys the range of toys available, along with the large garden and learning about the animals they keep. I'm confident i picked the right one. It really is a home from home enviroment.

I've had the pleasure of using Philips and Lisa on many occasions. My experience has always been a positive one. My older daughter dislikes being put into different environments yet she was extremely excited when I informed her that she will be going back more often.
I believe that their ethics and attitudes are outstanding. It's really refreshing that they encourage active play and outdoor activities.
I would definitely recommend to anyone especially if you have shy timid children as the family dynamics is outstanding..
