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.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 3 months old so over 2 years - he loves attending nursery, for the social aspect with other children but the activities they do, he is always fully engaged. My son has very particular likes such as fish and the sea, dinosaurs and bagpipes and they always
try to tweak things so it involves his interests.
The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Sunflower has been an absolute blessing for our family! From day one, both my 10-month-old son and 3-year-old daughter have thrived in this wonderful environment. The staff are incredibly caring, professional, and attentive, ensuring each child's individual needs are met. My son has developed so quickly,
thanks to the age-appropriate activities and the nurturing care he receives. My daughter has gained confidence, improved her social skills and looks forward to her days at nursery, where she enjoys the thoughtfully designed curriculum that blends learning and play perfectly. The nursery itself is always clean, well-organised and full of creative resources that inspire curiosity. Sunflower Nursery truly feels like a second home for our children, and we're beyond grateful for the care, support, and development they provide.
It's a place where they can learn, play, and grow with confidence. We are truly grateful for Sunflower and all the care and love they pour into their work!

Sunflower Day Nursery in Stalybridge is an amazing nursery. My little boy started just as he turned 6 months old. They supported him and me with settling him into the nursery. You get fabulous updates throughout the day on the app. They understand and cater for medical conditions and intolerances, the
menu is great for the children and my little one enjoys the meals.
They have a great parent partnership, I wouldn't have sent my child to any other nursery!

Absolutely love it. Our nursery closed and so was a last-minute change to Sunflower. Not once have I had any worries, the app is always up-to-date and detailed. Love their daily routines for the babies, the food is good and varied as well as snacks and drinks, the activities are age-appropriate.
I
love knowing the circle time topics so we can go on and talk about them when my eldest gets home.
Handovers at the end of the day at decent and the staff are so lovely and patient.
Management is quick and responsive and I have been able to be open and honest with recent issues regarding our place at the nursery and they have been so accommodating to our situation.
Can't fault it. Wish we had come here the whole time.

My child is always happy and excited to go to nursery. They are always making new memories with their friends and their

I would like to begin by saying how outstanding Sunflower Nursery is. They have become a family to me and my children and they have shown great support in all areas. My children get so excited to attend nursery. The staff are exceptional and welcoming and they get up to all kinds of activity events
like PE. I have never had a problem with absolutely nothing in the whole year and a half my children have been there. They listen to me and give me great support. My children are thriving and now one of my children is going to a specialist school in September they have truly got her ready for this with the everyday understanding patience and the whole vibe around the children. I'm truly grateful and will shout out about how amazing the nursery is, all down to the management and staff who built this unity of a nursery and are truly proud of their roles. Thank you Sunflower Nursery, you are the best of the best.

I have been amazed by this nursery the staff behind the scenes and in front are both just out of this world the support you receive for you and your child is always above and beyond, always professional but supportive at the same time, I've sent two children here 6 years apart and it was amazing the
first time and has only got better since with new outdoor space like the forest area is outstanding and perfect for little ones that love nature and to be outside, I can't even put into words what they have done for my son! I will forever recommend this nursery because it's always been great and only seems to get better and better.
