Gleaming Stars's Reviews

Outstanding Care at Gleaming Stars Childcare

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gleaming Stars Childcare and our experience over the past two years. My son has been attending since he was two years old, and the progress he has made is nothing short of remarkable. From the very beginning, the environment has been warm, welcoming, and conducive to learning and development.

Ranj, the childcare provider, has been exceptional. Her dedication, patience, and genuine care for each child are evident in everything she does. She takes the time to understand each child's individual needs and tailors her approach to suit them. This personalized care has been instrumental in my son's development.

Under Ranj's guidance, my son has blossomed in ways I couldn't have imagined. His social skills have improved tremendously; he interacts confidently with other children and adults. The activities and curriculum provided have also sparked a keen interest in learning, and I have seen significant growth in his cognitive and motor skills.

Ranj's nurturing and supportive approach creates a positive and safe environment where children can thrive. She is always communicative and keeps us well-informed about our child's progress and daily activities. This transparency and partnership make us feel very involved and reassured.

Overall, Gleaming Stars Childcare, under Ranj's excellent care, has exceeded all our expectations. It has been a joy to see our son grow, learn, and develop in such a loving and enriching environment. We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication that Ranj provided every day. Thank you, Gleaming Stars Childcare, for being such a fantastic part of our child's early years.

Was so lucky to have found you

We found Ranj through a recommendation.. my previous CM was unexpectedly taken ill and Ranj took my son as an emergency.. We soon change to her permanently, my son doesn't take to new people well but with Ranj he was always smiling and genuinely loved going. We have been with her for over a year now and he has gained so much confidence and has learnt so much.

Ranj is great in supporting and trying to continue your home routine around naps and food ect and even supporting potty training.

I wish we found her sooner but I am glad we are there now.

Couldn't ask for a better childminder

My daughter started going to Gleaming Stars a year ago and I couldn't ask for a better childminder before she now goes off to start her new chapter in Reception. She has had the best year with Ranj and the other children there. She was always happy and excited to go there in the mornings and when I picked her up would tell me how lovely her day was. Ranj would take them out to parks, playgroups, other childminders so they can meet other children in a similar setting. The setting is very clean and tidy with many of toys such as learning toys, sensory and fun activities. There is a lovely garden for the children to play in with many toys and games to do. She has learnt alot being with Gleaming Stars.
Ranj also communicated great with letting me know how her day's were going with sending pictures of what she was doing.
My daughter absolutely adored her and is going to miss not going to Gleaming Stars.

I couldn't recommend her enough, an amazing childminder!! Thank you so much to Gleaming Stars for looking after my daughter.

So lucky to have found you

I am so extremely grateful to have found Ranj to care for my little son. She started looking after him when he was 12 months old. He is now almost 17 months old and is so happy going there every day. He has settled in extremely fast and well, all thanks to Ranj's caring and friendly personality. Ranj is always kind and smiling and she updates me throughout the day to let me know how my boy is doing. What I admire so much is that she always creates different activities and games for children and takes them to playgroups, parks and various venues where they are stimulated and entertained. Moy boy is always happy when I drop him off and collect him. I couldn't thank Ranj enough for her care and dedication. I can focus on my work during the day knowing that my boy is in great hands and being encouraged to reach his developmental milestones. Thank you Ranj for your warmth and care. I would 100% recommend Ranj to everyone :-)

Caring and dedicated childminder

My son has been going to gleaming stars for almost a year now and I cannot thank you enough. He has come on so much with his milestones and development with your help. One of the things I love most are the different outings and activities the children get to experience. There is always something new they are doing or going to and my son really enjoys his time with you

Blessed to have Ranj for my son

We feel extremely blessed to have found Ranjeet, founder of Gleaming Stars. A home from home educational environment for our Son who is 21 months old. He has been with Ranjeet for almost 8 months and has benefitted enormously in terms of his development, social interaction with other children and building friendships at such a young age. It’s a joy to drop him off knowing he is being cared for and loved. He is always happy and relaxed upon collection too. There are so many different resources for the children to enjoy and she ensures that her resources are updated regularly giving the children fresh play equipment and new toys to enjoy.

Ranjeet is an extremely committed and caring professional, always giving her full attention to our son. We love that she communicates effectively throughout the day with photos and videos of his activities, this really gives me peace of mind knowing the he is safe and happy. Overall, a really impressive childminder who we trust explicitly. I would recommend Gleaming Stars 100%.

Loving and caring

We are truly happy that we found Ranj. Our daughter has settled so quickly and enjoys every moment there.

Ranj has an excellent setting - always clean and organised. A lovely garden with lots of activities for the children . There is a wide range of sensory and learning activities and something different going on each day.
She is supporting Victoria to learn English through play, and the results are amazing.
Ranj provides healthy snacks, and Victoria is now keen on eating her vegetables and fruits.

I am amazed by the communication she holds with us - always keeping me informed of how Victoria is doing, which makes me feel so relaxed, and I can concentrate on my commitments without worrying.

She is always welcoming and smiling and has a worm and friendly approach.

I absolutely recommend Ranj as a great and reliable childminder and could not thank her enough for the care she gives to our precious little one.

Loving and caring

My son has ASD and Ranjeet has always ensured he is well looked after. She has gone above and beyond in ensuring his happiness while maintaining a fun, learning environment. She also takes him out to local parks and other play areas to help with his development while he is under her care. Thank you for being so good. I highly recommend Gleaming Stars.
