Little Shining Stars have been very good to our son (and our family). The lovely staff are very welcoming, accommodating, family-oriented, flexible and reassuring. Our son enjoys his afternoons at their facility and happily lets us know at the end of the day. We definitely recommend Little Shining Stars to any family with little ones.

Lovely centre. Very caring, strong educational and social values. Very flexible and accommodating. I have no hesitation highly recommending this centre.

My youngest daughter has attended Shining Stars for the past 4 years. From the moment we walked in every single person welcomed our family like they had known us for years and made my daughter feel at home straight away. Everyday was a new adventure and brought much laughter and fun into my daughters life that I would hear about on the ride home. When drop offs were difficult all the educators were quick to swoop in for cuddles and reassurance that Mummy would be back later and they were going to have so much fun. I would not hesitate in recommending Shining Stars to anyone looking for childcare in the area, they are brilliant!

My Son (2nd child) has just finished little shinning star. He has been there since he was one year old. He has definitely grow and much more confident now. My son was diagnosed with low muscle toned. He was delayed in physical movement and also speech development. Little shinning star has been great. The educators are always supportive and help him out with whatever he needs. Whenever i have any concerns, they will always reply to me pretty much immediately. My eldest child went to little shinning star too. She has thrived in school and still misses childcare whenever we drive past little shinning stars. I will highly recommend it to anyone.

Our daughter has just finished at Little Shining Stars after almost 4.5 years and we could not recommend it enough. When she started as a 9 month old the staff were very accommodating and reassuring making us feel comfortable to leave our daughter in their care. At Little Shining Stars she has grown into a confident, capable happy little girl who is now ready to start school and we have all the staff to thank for helping her along the way! The staff are always on hand to greet her with a smile when she arrives, to give her a cuddle when she is sad and encourage and teach her. The food is varied and healthy with the kids eating food from many different cultures. The care and affection that she has been shown has been fantastic and we have been so pleased with the care that we have now enrolled our second daughter at Little Shining Stars and are still extremely happy. They have become like a second family to my daughters and it’s lovely to know that they are cared for by people who care so much about our children. I would definitely recommend Little Shining Stars to anyone.

My daughter (Maddison) started with Little Shining Stars when she was about 9 months old. I went in with her on the first trial day and I was so nervous, I was a bit scared and well… really overwhelmed by the whole thing. I took her into the baby room where I sat her down and watched her interact with the other babies and staff, all of whom were so warm, kind and really helpful I was instantly put at ease. We came back the following week for a second trial in which I left my daughter for 2 hours – first time we had been apart since she was born – I didn’t actually know what to do with myself – but I managed! When the time was up I came back and snuck into the room without her noticing to see her playing with another little girl – clapping, giggling and bouncing back and forth – it was a beautiful moment and all the hesitant feelings I had about putting my precious little girl into childcare left in an instant – that was November 2014 – it is now October 2018. The staff are incredibly caring, warm, experienced, gentle, creative, fun and responsible – they interact and really care for the kids, my daughter absolutely loves going (she certainly has her fav’s), and it’s going to be really sad day in January 2019 when she goes for the very last time before heading off to reception. The centre was quite flexible when they had the capacity to be with regards to attendance arrangements and have certainly helped me out on so many occasions. Maddy loves it – she learnt so many new things that I think are crucial to learn in the younger years (and have helped with her transition to preschool) that as a new mother I would have never have thought of, and she had so much fun doing it. She ate extraordinarily well, Maddy was a fussy eater when she started, and now she’ll eat “almost” anything or at least give it a try before she states she doesn’t like it – which is common! I’m not going to list individual staff members because as far as I’m concerned they are all so amazing and they all work as a team and it’s brilliant to see, I really can’t recommend this place highly enough. Your children are so precious, and from what I witnessed Little Shining Stars really understand that. One last thing I want to say; the friendships Maddy made are just awesome, she has about 3 or 4 close friends that she plays with when they are all their together (which is most days), but the little girl that she met on her very first day (that I mentioned above back in November 2014) still attends along with Maddy – they will finish up at the same time. They are the best of friends and the bond they share was so incredible to watch getting stronger every day over the past 4 years, they have play dates with each other on a regular basis outside of the centre, and will continue to do so after they finish at Little Shining Stars.

Our daughter attended Little Shining Stars for about 9 months starting mid 2017. During this time we saw some big changes in her social skills and the development of her vocabulary She started initially with Sharon and Diem and was later taken care of by Janine and Carmen. All four of them, along with the other staff gave her such affectionate, personalized attention that she looked forward to going there on most days. Through innovative play ideas, they would teach her about colours, shapes, numbers, social behaviour, etc. They even assisted with her toilet training, often encouraging her to communicate as much as possible. If we hadn’t moved away to a suburb several kilometers away we wouldn’t have taken her out of there. It’s a great place to send your kids.

Our daughter started at Little Shining Stars when she was 14 months old – she hadn’t attended a child care centre before. The team members showed so much attention and care for her to ensure she settled in well, it was lovely and genuine. She progressed into the toddler rooms and then into pre-kindy rooms. Her bond with Sharon was most apparent and she also bonded very well with Diem. Both of these educators where amazing in taking Bella through many learning stages. Sharon’s dedication in uploading Bella learning profile gave us great insight to her progress as she navigated learnings both physical and behavourial. We moved Bella due to our home location and for her primary school location. I recommend Little Shining Stars and most certainly our daughter educators, Claire

Our daughter started attending little shining stars when she was 11 months old until she was 4 years old. She absolutely loved her time at little shining stars. The care and nurturing shown by the staff was amazing they helped her develop and learn new skills but at the same time were warm and loving towards her. Our daughter made great friends at little shining stars and blossomed in terms of her development and confidence. We were sad to leave little shining stars for her to transition onto kindergarten but we also knew that her time at little shining stars had given her the right start in regards her educational development. We would highly recommend little shining stars as a childcare centre.

My 2 year old attended this care for 4-5 months. Really good carers. They helped him a lot to get settled. He was too clingy and not good with social interaction. But carers provided lot of initial one to one interaction. I definitely recommend this care.

I have had 3 children attend LSS since the beginning of the Centre. I cannot emphasise how important the staff have been in the care of our children. Warm friendly faces have greeted us every morning. Food is fresh and my children still talk about their favourite meals there. They have had fun excursions to the local park and the library, and love the outdoor water play days and jumping in puddles. We have been sad to finish our association with LSS and we wish them all the very best for the future.

Our Child has been attending the care since the age of 1yr, and we have had a very pleasant and wonderful experience with Little Shining Stars. The center management and all staff members are very caring and friendly. They pay attention to the needs of every child that is in the center and ensure they are safe and happy. The indoor and outdoors are safe and a variety of healthy food is provided during the week. And as an added benefit, the location is perfect for people who stay both in inner city suburbs and outer city suburbs. You can drive to the care, and park your car. drop off your child and take the tram to city. The tram stop is just 8 mins walk from the care. if you want to avoid the walk you get car parking next to the greenhill road tram stop for $4/day. You cannot ask for anything more!

Little Shining Stars has a nice nurturing atmosphere. Staff are approachable and have good communication. We were a bit nervous when our son started attending the centre but the staff were great with orientation and helped him settle well. My son loves going to Little Shining Stars. We are happy with the care they give and highly recommend them.

My daughter has been going to Little Shining Stars since the past 2 years. We were new to Adelaide when she started going there. The staff are great and made her feel at home from the first day. She enjoys going to child care and looks forward to her time there everyday. In fact there are times when she asks me if I can drop her there on a Sunday! The facilities (room sizes, toys, activities) and the outdoor play area is beautifully maintained. The staff across all the rooms are friendly and approachable and really handle my extremely active daughter well! It is great to see her learning new skills, numbers, alphabets and writing. The centre regularly sends updates with photographs of her engaged in different activities which is great to see. Another factor which makes my wife and me really happy is that she enjoys her meals and eats well while at the child care! We are happy we chose Little Shining Stars!

I cannot thank the wonderful staff at LSS Wayville enough for their efforts in caring for, educating, and nurturing my 2yr daughter. After transitioning from a different child care centre I couldn’t believe the improvement in her behaviour and how quickly Emerald was picking up and leaning new things – new activities, new words, new friends and social skills. It was a breathe of fresh air and relief to experience this positive change and influence, especially as a first time Mum. The team are welcoming, kind and gentle souls who take pride in their work and their centre. I highly recommend this centre. Until next time! Thank you thank you thank you!

I want to thank little shining stars for their amazing care for my child. They are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They make every child feel safe and loved. Charlie will miss you guys.

My son has been going to Little Shining Stars Childcare since last 3.5 years. Carers and the management team are very vigilant and proactive in their care as well as providing timely feedback which sometimes can have life changing impact. I consider this team as group of pseudo mothers and I have heavily relied on their guidance and experience to nurture my son with love and care. I thank you for their flexibility and professionalism during this period and wish them all the growth and prosperity to touch many more kids’ life positively.

The child in our care attended Little Shining Stars from the age of 6 months, for 3 days a week for the past 14 months. She started in the baby room and during her time there she progressed happily through to the ‘big room’ with the toddlers. She has blossomed with the help of all staff members and leaves Little Shining Stars having been exposed to a rich environment of learning and social awareness of others. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, caring and friendly environment for their child.

My son commenced care with at Little Shining Stars Child Care Centre (LSSCC) as an 8 month old in the baby’s room and has been there now for the past 14 months. The environment and facilities are excellent. I have found all the staff to be friendly, approachable and most of all professional. I really appreciate the honest feedback I receive from staff if something needs to be addressed on son’s well-being. I also find the staff to be very dedicated to their job in providing me with monthly updates on Brodies learning and development. The staff make you feel that your child is special which has made the transition from me being a full time mum to full time working mum much easier. There are many great things about LSSCC the staff, the families, the kids the location but most of all the staff I can contact them anytime and ask questions. Thank you for making my son’s time in childcare a fun and enjoyable place to be, its very reassuring for my husband and I that our son is spending time with people who are not only looking after his developmental needs but also emotional needs as well.
