Our daughter has been at the nursery from 9 months through to 2 1/2 years having had a great experience. All staff made her welcome and settled her in well, also settling us in as parents. Very calm and caring atmosphere as well as encouraging and fostering development in confidence, communication and
motor skills. This goes for both rooms we've experienced (Raindrops and Rainbows) but the support shown by Raindrops as a baby room was second to none.

What can I say, Sunshine Day Nursery has been amazing! My daughter has been here since she was 11 months old and she has transitioned through all the rooms and is now leaving at 4 years old. I think the fact that she role-plays nursery the whole time she is at home shows how much she enjoys it there!
The staff are friendly and caring and I've always felt 100% confident leaving my daughter there. The staff always give detailed updates and I enjoy seeing what my daughter is doing via the photos on the app. She is always doing fun activities and the staff make great efforts with events such as the Christmas party!
I have also found this nursery great value for money and the staff go to great lengths to accommodate working parents who may need to swap days etc.
My daughter has learned so much here! I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough and I know that my daughter's last day will be an emotional one for us both!

Sunshine Day Nursery has been brilliant. My little girl has attended here for 3 years; spending a year in each room. The staff are so caring and attentive, they take the time to get to know each child. Over the years, they have improved her confidence so much and provided her with the skills she needs
to start school. She has made so many friends there, and it really is a lovely place for her to attend.
The hours are also brilliant for a working parent, and from booking to paying and funding forms, the staff make everything really easy.
Would recommend Sunshine Day Nursery as a fun, caring and vibrant place.

We have used this nursery since 2018 and it is absolutely excellent in all areas, for all early years developmental stages. It is a perfect location for our work and the site is utilised well for an inner-city nursery. The hospital site food is well-balanced and our children have enjoyed it. Most importantly,
the care has always been exceptional and all staff (both childcare, domestic and administrative) are hardworking and enthusiastic, especially during difficult times in the Covid pandemic. The children's activities are thoughtful and fun, and both our children have thrived here. We have always had upmost trust in all staff.
I highly recommend Sunshine Day Nursery for childcare.

Both of my sons have attended the nursery from 1 year old up until the eldest who is just about to leave to start school. Throughout this time, all of the staff have been supportive and caring and have encouraged them to be themselves, helping them to blossom into the clever and loving little boys that
they are.
The staff take great care with my youngest's dietary requirements, ensuring there are options available for him, I have always had great confidence that they are taking care of his needs at all times. I am also so grateful for the support with my eldest son whose lack of confidence often impinged on his development, since being in Preschool 1, he has come on leaps and bounds - he is now more than ready to start school in September, although he will be sad to say bye to the lovely staff and all the friends he has made.
I would definitely recommend this amazing nursery!

Our son joined Sunshine in February 2021 as a 'covid baby'. He had had limited experience engaging with peers or people other than immediate family due to the pandemic.
I think back now to my worries about nursery and they were unfounded. Sunshine Day nursery have been phenomenal from day one. They
took our son under their wing and nurtured him into the vibrant and confident 4 year old he is now. He has some sensory needs which have been identified during his time at nursery and he has been encouraged and supported with these every step of the way. The staff have recommended and implemented support and changes for him to ensure that nursery and preschool continue to be a positive environment.
The staff celebrate his successes as if he was family. It is hard to put into words just how clearly their care about his physical and emotional wellbeing. He is going to miss Sunshine so much when he starts school, he has developed an amazing foundation for his future education and friendships.

My daughter has had a lovely time in this nursery. She is in two different nurseries and she prefers Sunshine much more than another one. My daughter has Eczema and food allergy and the nursery has been taking good care of my daughter for a long time. She never has one allergy reaction in Sunshine.
The teachers here are very polite and patient. My girl loves (her key person)so much. I also enjoy the activities in pre-school.

I have loved this nursery they have cared for my child and helped him flourish.
I can tell the staff truly enjoy my child's presence and have really bonded with my son. They have catered to his needs in every way possible and I cannot say enough about the staff here. They are absolutely brilliant!
Especially in Rainbows where my child recently transitioned from, the ladies have been amazing I felt like my child was safe and cared for as though they were with a family member!

I've been using Sunshine Day Nursery since my eldest was one and she is due to start school in September. The staff are so caring, and kind, but also sensible and understanding. I have my second in the baby room and they've been fantastic with him too. I feel that the staff work hard in areas where
it could be much better funded. They truly care about the kids. Thank you.

Our son began attending the nursery in January this year and he has had a really pleasant experience so far. He always looks forward to going to preschool. The staff are very professional, excellent communicators, providing us with a report on his activities at the end of each day. They are very hardworking,
providing real-time updates in his news feed. The nursery environment is always very clean and free of hazards, they don't compromise on safety. In addition, the children are provided with nutritious and healthy food to help with their growth and development. Prior to joining, he struggled with his speech, but now he speaks very clearly without stuttering and has improved in his use of vocabulary. Our son has also developed a strong interest in painting as a result of his nursery experience. He will surely miss it there and take fond memories of the nursery to his new school. We are very satisfied with the fundamental knowledge our boy has received at Sunshine Day Nursery.

Brilliant Nursery! My oldest son thrived here and now my youngest son attends and says 'I love nursery' because he enjoys it so much. He started when he was one and will soon be starting school. Initially, I was concerned due to spending his first year indoors due to the pandemic and he had limited
interaction with other children, but the staff were brilliant with him and he settled in perfectly which eased my worries. The staff are amazing with him and I am always confident he is well cared for. The love and support he receives from the staff builds his confidence and he always leaves preschool happy. He loves attending preschool, where the incredible staff helped build up his confidence and speech. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Sunshine Day Nursery have looked after both of my girls for throughout their baby, toddler and preschool development. The staff are an absolute credit to the nursery and have always been so friendly, caring and professional. The nursery has always been able to accommodate some flexibility when I have
requested additional sessions for my kids. They have wonderful resources from indoor sand and water play, painting and imaginative play, to outdoor spaces which are used in good weather. My kids really have loved coming to nursery and the location at the local hospital has made it so convenient for working parents to pick up and drop off within the working day. My eldest daughter looks forward to attending the holiday club at Sunshine Day Nursery, where she enjoys being a bit independent with a small sum of money at the tuck shop, meeting new friends, being creative, watching movies and going on amazing trips with the dedicated staff.

Both of our little ones attend Sunshine, with our eldest leaving this month after nearly 4 years. The environment is friendly and fun as well as caring and nourishing. They have a great way of nurturing each child’s individuality and letting them be themselves. I have always felt my children were in
safe hands and have developed good relationships with staff and other children. The staff are also understanding of dietary requirements and medical conditions with good record keeping. Regular updates are given on our children's development and progress.
My eldest is sad to be leaving they have enjoyed it so much, it really has been a home away from home for them.
