Great nursery, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They really take care to get to know the kids. My child always comes home full of beans and stories about what he did at nursery. He absolutely loved the chicken/chicks they had at nursery for a short while. The singalong production which the nursery
put together was excellent. Thank you Sunshine team, looking forward to seeing the new building when it’s all completed

My daughter joined Sunshine Day Nursery at 8 months old and has just left to go to school. She has had the best 4 years there. The whole team and management have been absolutely fantastic. They have all been so caring and loving toward her. They are also so educational and really helped my girl come
out of her shell and come a long way, including speech, walking, potty training and then spending the last few months getting ready for school. They also catered to her allergies and health issues. I would not hesitate to recommend Sunshine to absolutely anyone. The manager has a fantastic team and will go above and beyond for you and your children. The whole of Sunshine has completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for everything. We will miss you so much!

It has always felt like a little family at Sunshine, and it was sad to leave somewhere where my child was so comfortable and safe. Staff were always informative and friendly, and my daughter was able to grow in confidence and foster some hopefully lifelong friendships at the nursery. 
All the staff
are fab, and my daughter will miss the staff, her friends, and the experiences and lessons she learnt there.
Many thanks for all your help and support over the years.

Reply from Kate Cox, Area Manager at Sunshine Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your review, Jo. We wish you and your family all the best for the future. Be sure to come back from time to time, we love seeing the children as they grow!

My little girl has attended Sunshine since she was 7-months-old and has always been happy and settled from day one. The staff are very kind and a pleasure to deal with. I always feel well informed about my daughter's day; she has transitioned so well from the baby room upwards, and this is all down
to the staff's communication with me and each other. The app is amazing and keeps me completely up to date on my daughter's day. My child is very happy there.

Since coming back from lockdown my son was quite nervous about coming back, the staff were amazing at resettling him and listened to any worries and concerns we had about returning. My son thoroughly enjoys Sunshine Nursery and has come on so much developmentally since being back. I would highly recommend
Sunshine to any new parent.

My daughter started at Sunshine nursery with a pretty intense case of separation anxiety after a bad experience with a childminder. 2 Years on and she's now leaving a confident and outgoing little girl filled with happy memories from her time at Sunshine.
The staff are nurturing and caring, the children
entertained and happy. A vast array of activities keeps busy toddler minds occupied, art, sports, languages and lots and lots of play.

Our son is so happy at Sunshine Nursery. The staff are consistently warm, welcoming and caring.
The atmosphere is wonderful and you can see the fun the children have every time you drop them off and collect them.
The activities and play are varied and engaging and always a topic of conversation when
our son is at home. We are confident and secure in the knowledge that our child is in such a warm, nurturing environment.

Sunshine nursery is a nurturing, friendly and happy place, where both of my children have thrived. The staff bring out the very best in the children and really do care - not just the key workers, but all members of staff including the management.
The children receive a rich and varied range of activities
on a daily basis and are provided with a safe and nurturing environment to be able to learn, develop and flourish.
I couldn't recommend it more!

Only ever had positive experiences with Sunshine Day Nursery. They provide a happy environment and both my children have thrived there. The staff are extremely supportive and even when needing to tackle behavioural issues they are flexible in their approach and work with parents.

Both my daughters have attended Sunshine Day Nursery, Shoreham. I have always found the staff to be very friendly and extremely helpful. Both girls love going to Sunshine Day Nursery. I find the tapestry and communication emails really informative and I love looking at all the photos etc and knowing
what they've been up to at nursery. I would recommend Sunshine Day Nursery to all.

My son has been with Sunshine Day Nursery since he was 1-year-old. He had separation anxieties and the staff were amazing. Very nurturing in the baby and toddler rooms. They know how to distract him in preschool to make that drop-off easier. My son is so happy when I pick him up at the end of the day
and always talks about the staff. I would recommend this nursery without a doubt.

I feel that Sunshine Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Both my children have loved attending it. All the staff at welcoming and I feel that my child’s best interests are their focus. The range of activities are fantastic and I feel that the variety of things/activities that are introduced to the children
is great. The beach school is great and my son has loved it so far.

I have been using this nursery for the last 5 years and it’s been brilliant. My eldest daughter went and had such a brilliant time, the staff are all wonderful and really listen and do everything they can to ensure your children are happy, I didn’t hesitate in putting my youngest daughter in Sunshine
Day Nursery.
She is very happy there and I know she is well looked after. Happy child, happy Mum! Thanks Sunshine for everything you do :-)

I couldn't praise this nursery enough. From my son's key person to the management team, everyone bent over backwards to make sure not just my son but myself and my husband were always happy. My son was a very anxious child, but I always felt confident leaving him, and with the online journals I could
see throughout the day how happy he was by the lovely photos being posted by the staff. I highly recommend this nursery!

If you read the reviews and visit the nursery, the two things that stand out are the happiness of the children and the overall happiness of the staff. Sunshine has amassed a strong, knowledgeable, professional team that work very well together. It is a pleasure to drop the kids off each day knowing
they will receive the highest level of care. I then receive updates throughout the day thanks to tapestry and when I pick them up they are always happy to tell me what they did and love the fact that I can prompt them on their day.
From a safety perspective, it is great to see that all staff and parents following safeguarding procedures. Happy kids = happy parents! Would recommend to all.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.984) out of 10 for Sunshine Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.917 for Sunshine Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.067 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunshine Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.067

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
