Sunflower Day Nursery have been phenomenal with my daughter from her starting when she was 10 months old. It was always difficult dropping her off as she would get upset but the staff helped with this transition.


She is now in the preschool room and loves it. The freedom, range of activities they

have as well as the forest school has really developed my daughter's social and communication skills. She is more confident and has the opportunity to learn a range of schools which other nurseries do not offer.

We took our son to Sunflower Nursery after trying several local nurseries, which he did not settle at what so ever. Our son has some health conditions, and the staff at Sunflower have been absolutely brilliant in supporting him. Choosing Sunflower was the best decision we could have made. Every member
of staff has been exceptional, providing excellent care, also they make continuous communication with us as parents, which has been incredibly reassuring. We highly recommend Sunflower Nursery without hesitation.

I think this nursery and every single staff member are amazing, they all clearly have a passion for there job which is needed when your trusting someone with your child, my personal opinion of this nursery is that they go above and beyond for every single child they look after, the nursery is also beautiful
they have made it so exciting for the children outside and very very safe, it's the only place my son gets left without me present I wish he could stay until he were 16

My daughter has been at Sunflower for 2 half years. She has flourished and has truly been well looked after. But also encouraged and supported to learn so many skills. From practical things like potty training and putting on her coat. Resilience and confidence. Pencil holding, phonetics and more. I'm
confident my daughter will be school ready come September. She loves forest school and chooses to spend most of her time outside. She loves seeing the vegetables and flowers grow. The Sunflower team go over and above to provide a wide range of activities for the children. My daughter visits a local care home regularly to sing and do crafts with the residents along with her teachers and friends. I have attended a number of workshops arranged by Sunflower I.e. infant first aid, communication skills. The daily app is great for daily updates and photos. Communication is excellent. Fantastic food/ snack offering taking halal requirements into account. highly recommend Sunflower

Our son recently started in the baby room with the Seedlings team and the care and compassion we have received during his settling in period has been amazing. It's a daunting experience for a lot of parents returning to work and having that reassurance that your little one is happy and well looked after
is wonderful. All of the team are friendly and all welcome our little one with a friendly smile and hug. He is so settled and happy, we couldn't ask for more. The room leader and her team in the Seedlings room are a credit to the nursery and we can't wait to see his learning journey unfold.

My daughter is currently in pre-school and has been at the nursery since she was 11 months old. She loves coming into nursery and has formed fantastic and healthy attachments to the staff at the nursery- especially one staff member in particular. She runs into nursery every day she is in and cannot
wait to see this staff member and play with her friends. Her social skills are above and beyond what her brothers' were at that age and I definitely believe a lot of that is down to Sunflower CC.
When you're working, you want to know that your child feels safe, loved and challenged and Sunflower CC does that.

Came back for a second time first was with our daughter 10 years ago she flourished and loved being at nursery made friends with little ones who she's still friends with now


Second time round now with our LB
He started back in October he loves going waves me off in the morning with out a second

thought.
Sunflowers team have brought him right out of his shell currently transitioning from nappy's to toilet training and supporting us with this.


Regular reviews daily updates of what they have been doing and always lovely to see a smiling face with things they have been done around learning and themes and events in the year.


We're close to him moving on to the next room and transitioning on to his next journey which we are excited for.
There will be no more children for me but wouldn't think twice in recommending this nursery
Really happy children and nice staff that truly care
A credit to all of the staff

Such a positive experience from the get go .The staff had such a gentle approach to settling in my little boy who had struggled at previous settings. The team really get to know your child and offer a nurturing environment for them to thrive. My little boy absolutely loves it and can't wait to go, his
confidence has grown so much and his development has progressed. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Sunflower have been absolutely brilliant for both my son and for us as a family. My son has additional needs and the SEN provision at Sunflower is excellent. They have fully implemented everything he needs to help progress towards the goals highlighted in his EHCP and worked collaboratively with all
the agencies and third parties involved. My son adores his key worker and we've got nothing but praise for the relationship that she has built with him and all the work she puts into helping his development. Sunflower have also supported us with navigating the school application process and ensuring our son has a placement at a special school for September. My son also has a chronic medical condition that Sunflower support managing during nursery days. This medical condition also means he has a restrictive diet and can't have certain food groups. Sunflower have been superb, with the cook even making items specifically for my son so he never misses out! I can't praise Sunflower any more!

Sunflower Hyde comes highly recommended from myself, my little boy runs in with happiness and confidence which in itself speaks volumes! My LB settled really quickly and and the support from staff during transitions from room to room were next to none,his keyworkee attended visits along with him so
he had a familiar face which really put me at ease and made it a really smooth transition. My lb has a fantastic bond with his keyworker, nothing is too much to ask and I feel more than comfortable knowing he is with her. The app and updates daily are fantastic; all activities and circle times look and sound engaging with alot of interests of my LB. I also love how they go outside every single day, weather isn't an excuse which we love. Thank you sunflower xx

I cannot recommend Sunflower enough. The staff are great. My two-year-old daughter moved here last September from another Nursery she attended since she was six months old due to moving house. We were happy with her previous nursery, but the level of communication is much better here, with lots more
daily communication and pictures. She settled instantly and is making friends and taking part in lots of varied activities throughout the day. She is always happy when we collect her at the end of the day

After the other nursery my child had booked into closed down, I only had a short period of time to find a new nursery for my little girl, who was 1 when she first attended. Sunflower Hyde was recommended by parents of my older boys class so I went a viewed it. Everyone was friendly and caring towards
the children and I was put at ease by the staff. My little girl is now nearly 2 and is thriving, she loves going to nursery and I have no worries about sending her. The staff are always lovely and discuss your child's day. I also like that you get pictures/updates about activities and food they have eaten during the day.
