Little Stars Nursery in Falkirk breaks into the top 20 in Scotland list

Choosing a childcare setting is one of the toughest challenges new parents have to face. Location is a must, facilities and safety are equally important, and feedback from other parents seals the deal.

That’s why the team at Little Stars Nursery @ Falkirk Football stadium are celebrating after being listed in the top 20 day nurseries in Scotland.

The listing comes from daynurseries.co.uk the UK’s number one nursery website. The award rating is based on reviews from parents/individuals responsible for a child at nursery, and they factor in staffing, activities, food, management, cleanliness, safeguarding, learning and value for money.

The team behind Little Stars, which was the second tenant in the impressive Falkirk Football Stadium after the club itself, pride themselves on their top of the league provision, knocking it out of the park for children and their families every day.

Reviews

Among the 58 happy parents rating the nursery, one said: “My 1 yr old started just after turning 1 and has been with the team in the baby room for almost 1yr now. She's loved it! The team are lovely and they provide a safe, loved and happy environment. They keep me posted as much as possible and if I have any questions they never make me feel rushed. I love that on collection the nursery workers in the older areas also know her name and all say bye on passing and she says bye back, makes me feel the team as a whole work well together and with her moving rooms soon due to age I feel at ease knowing it’s all faces she already knows.”

Another said: “My son started nursery and had settling in sessions which the staff were very helpful and supportive with. The nursery communicates well which is reassuring and the staff have all been helpful and friendly. The nursery ensures varied activities each day and encourage my son to develop skills and reach his milestones.”

Convenience

Situated on one of the main routes to and from Falkirk town centre, with a huge free car park outside, this is one of the easiest drop-off locations around. For busy working parents, the stadium also hosts a café, perfect for catching up on calls or setting up a meeting.

And at the end of the day what could be better than picking up your wee one and immediately walking over to the Helix Park, with its amazing play park, wetlands areas and the Kelpies. A great place to unwind and bond!

Facilities on site

Owners Kevin and Sheila Gilmartin and the Little Stars team are forever working to improve the nursery. Parents on the website were particularly impressed with the new outdoor learning area, which has trebled in size and sits just to the side of the stadium.

Part of the community

Little Stars sponsors the family section stairway at the FFC stadium, as well as booking advertising banners elsewhere in the ground. Proud to be based in Falkirk and backing Falkirk, this is community spirit in action.
