Why we do it...
To teach children to ‘reach for the stars and shine’ so that they develop life skills and learning behaviours to equip them for their learning journey throughout life.

About Shooting Stars Nursery School
We are a teacher led setting at Old Down Hall, Kempshott Lane RG22 5UY. We are open 8am-5pm Mon-Fri 50 weeks a year (term time only spaces too). We take children from 6 months-5 years and provide 15 hours and 30 hours funded places in conjunction with Hampshire County Council. Parents may also book extra sessions for funded children which are charged hourly. We have very high adult to child ratios and serve breakfast (if required), hot meals at lunchtime and tea between 4pm and 5pm (if required).
