Little Stars Christian Preschool

Little Stars Christian Preschool has been operating since September 1996, founded shortly after Leamington Spa Baptist Church opened its new premises on Chandos Street in the centre of town. The preschool was the vision of a small group of childcare professionals who wanted to provide a Christian based preschool serving the local community, supporting young children to learn safely through play. The name was inspired by the giant star shape visible on the ceiling of the church sanctuary. From humble beginnings with only a handful of children and unpaid volunteers, the preschool has grown significantly over the years and can now accommodate 32 children at a session. Little Stars operates at a higher staff to child ratio than required in order to offer quality care and education, and staff turnover is notably low. Children are grouped into Sunshines and Rainbows, playing, sharing and learning together. The preschool's most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 resulted in a GOOD rating, and it has also received the Gold Warwickshire Inclusion Kitemarking award for three consecutive years. Parents have praised the preschool for helping their children become confident, sociable and creative, and for easing the transition to primary school.
