Childcare Westlands
Where Little Ones Shine and Grow!
Open Mon to Fri from 7:30am – 6pm
We believe each child is entitled to have support, safety, respect, continuity of care, a healthy environment and is allowed to enjoy and achieve. All children are individuals, and their welfare is paramount. We will treat everyone appropriately and we require all our parents, visitors, and children to do likewise.
Out of School Care
On arrival your child will be offered breakfast for example toast, cereal, or fruit with a drink. They will have the opportunity to play and prepare for the day ahead.
After school your child will be offered a tea for example cheese and tomato oatcakes, chicken and salad pitta breads or soup and a selection of sandwiches. They will have the opportunity to carry out homework, but this will not be compulsory followed by free play. We will organise a planned activity each night for example arts and crafts, sports or dance and drama.

What our parents say...
The staff at little stars have been so compassionate with my child. They have worked with me to try to find the best ways to make her time at nursery enjoyable. They have dedicated time to figure out ways to help her get to sleep and this has been very challenging. They continue to find creative ways to keep her settled and aid naps. They have taken the time to get to know her, her likes and dislikes and to offer stimulation at the right level for her. She is quite clingy so I was very anxious about her settling in. I have no doubt that her ability to adapt to nursery has been thanks to the work the staff have put in. They provide regular updates throughout the day and I'm reassured that they do contact me when needed. The key worker scheme works really well; she has become very attached to her key workers and she interacts with them just like she does with family members. They have gone above and beyond to make sure she is happy and Im confident that she is in safe and caring hands.
thank you so much for making her (and me) feel safe. You have such an important job that society doesn't seem to appreciate.

Esme has settled so well since moving into the bright stars room, the staff are caring, they listen to you and offer advice and help, especially the room supervisor Dianne, you can tell she really cares about the children. Esme’s speech has developed so much, and this is down to the amount of effort and the different planned activities they set out for the children daily. A special mention to “Kala”, “Teesha” and “iane” (Dianne), Esme clearly adores all of you!
Thankyou girls, it makes leaving Esme so much easier knowing your all so caring and attentive towards her

We couldn’t be happier with Little Stars Nursery and the amazing care they provide for Olive. While she might feel a little unsettled during drop-offs, we are always reassured by how quickly she settles in, thanks to the warm and nurturing staff. The regular updates we receive through the app are absolutely brilliant and give us such peace of mind, knowing she is in the best hands. The activities they plan for the children are fantastic, and the thoughtful keepsakes they send home are so special to us. We’re so grateful for the dedication and kindness of the entire team - they truly go above and beyond for every child. Seeing Olive so happy and thriving makes us certain we made the best choice with Little Stars!

Little Stars Nursery in Westlands has truly been a transformational experience for our son Jack and we could be happier with our choice. From the moment he stepped through the doors it was evident this wasn't just a Nursery it was a warm nurturing and joyful environment.
The biggest testament to their incredible work is Jack's constant smile He's eager to go and he continually thrives.
The activities offered are nothing short of diverse and inspiring and never a dull moment encouraging Jack's curiosity.
As parents we have had many wow moments and it is clear its not just a place to prepare for academic life but a holistic foundation for Jack. He has learned numbers, colours, shapes bit also empathy, resilience and confidence all thanks to the incredible efforts of all the dedicated staff especially Dianne.
For any parent considering Nursery options there was no other choice for us. It's a shining example of what a Nursery should be. Vibrant nurturing and transformative and and watching Jack flourish has been one of the most rewarding experience of our lives and can't recommend enough!

The staff at Little Stars have been a blessing since my children started nursery in September of this year. Going above and beyond to make sure they are settled, and following routines set at home to help us as parents too. Encouraging and achieving potty training for my eldest, and supporting my youngest emotionally whilst settling in to his new environment. Each member of staff have a ‘homely’ approach and care for my children as their own, giving them one on one support, love and attention - this is now reflected in how much they love going and I feel such ease dropping them off to people I know care and love them. Special mentions to Hannah, Amelie, Dianne, Grace, and Kala for being my little boys bestfriends. To Sarah and Vicky too, always going above and beyond for each child and making them feel at home ♥️
