About Us

Our beautifully refurbished nursery has been carefully designed by childcare experts, in order to foster a child friendly and child centred approach to learning.

We offer funded places for children eligible for 15 & 30 hours government funding, as well as private childcare, with a variety of different sessions to suit all families.

Our Activities

The early educational development of a child is a crucial phase where they discover the world through play and hands on learning. We believe by providing children with a rich variety of play activities and learning experiences, your child will be given the best possible start in life.

Extra-curricular activities are extremely beneficial for young children. Not only do they help to develop confidence, but they are also vital to early-stage development. From yoga classes and baking to soft play and trips out in the local community, here are some of the activities we offer at our nursery.

Fundraising

At Shining Stars Nursery, we are proud to support our local community and wider charities. Through cake bakes, raffles and sponsored events we work very hard to raise as much money as possible to help others!

We are very grateful to our wonderful children, their families and of course our staff for all the support and donations we receive. We would also like to thank the local businesses who continue to help us raise such fantastic amounts of money.

Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust

Since opening Shining Stars Nursery in 2016, as part of our overall commitment to educate and help children achieve successful futures, we provide sponsorship for several children with Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust (KORT). KORT are a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing hope for orphans and empowering them through education. They have a 100% donation policy and every penny donated goes towards the care of the children. Our sponsorship provides welfare, food, shelter, clothing, medical care and mainstream education for the children we sponsor. The children are provided with new clothes and fresh meals just like our own children at home.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

In July 2017, we hosted a Family Fun Day to raise money for Derby Hospitals Charity. We had a bouncy castle, face painting, lots of delicious food and desserts, and various different stall holders all helping to raise money. The turnout was impressive with almost 500 people attending the event, including The Mayor and Mayoress of Derby and Derbyshire Constabulary. The weather was great, and everyone had a fantastic time. We are very pleased to have raised a total of £520 all of which was donated to Derby Hospitals Charity, specifically for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to buy sensory toys for older babies in their care.
