Little stars nursery has been our sons childcare setting for nearly 2 years and he is now just starting nursery. I have trusted that our son was in a safe and secure environment at all times. The children went on regular excursions which were throughly enjoyed and offered opportunities for different physical activities (climbing / lots of outside play etc). Places included Wisley gardens and national trust locations. The secret garden was always talked about too! Alison always made an effort to celebrate special days and celebrations and even brought out books related to siblings as our son was going to be a big brother which was very thoughtful. We will all miss Alison and Pete and thanks for our time with you!

My son has been with Alison for almost a year, starting when he was 13 months old. From the very beginning, Alison and her husband Pete have truly provided a home away from home where I know my son receives the best of care.
Every morning they head out somewhere, enjoying the outdoors whenever the weather permits. Afternoons are spent doing all kinds of creative and fun activities as well as playing in their fabulous garden. All the activities are geared towards aiding the children's development, which Alison monitors and communicates very well.
Alison and Pete have a wonderful way with all the children and are incredibly attentive to all their needs. My son generally can't wait for Tuesday to come round so that he can head back to see Alison and Pete! They have a lot of fun together.
It's no surprise at all that Alison has been rated an outstanding childminder and I would highly recommend her to all parents.

Alison has looked after two of my boys and has worked hard to work around my schedule. Both boys have been very happy to go which is very reassuring. She provides a range of services, including a school puck-up, all of which I will have made use of come the new school year! Highly recommended!
