My son has attended Sunshine since he was 18 months old. Great experience from the start. He absolutely loves going there and gets excited every morning. He has learnt so much from the staff and impressed with the level of education he has recieved from them.The staff there really do care about children
and make everyone feel special. My son had his 4th birthday and wanted to go to pre-school, I really wasn't expecting much, but they went above and beyond and he came home more than happy. I really appreciate the support they have given me over the years and hope this review gives other parents the encouragement to give their children the same experience my son has.

My daughter has attended Sunshine Day Nursery since 10 months old and is now 2.5. She really loves it here and has made amazing bonds with all of the staff. I feel confident that she is receiving an excellent level of care and always goes in with a big smile on her face to see all of her friends. Our
family are very grateful to all of the nursery staff who go the extra mile for my daughter!

Sunshine does an amazing job at catering to each child's needs and seeing which areas they naturally excel in and which areas they might need a bit more support in. The staff are really dedicated and you can tell the children are well looked after. The education they receive is of a very high quality.

I am glad I chose Sunshine Day Nursery for my daughter. The care and support she got there was amazing. She learnt a lot and got ready for the school completely. She gained so much confidence there. I really appreciate all the efforts made towards her. The nursery manager took this nursery to a new
level. The sports day and graduation ceremony were wonderful. Two experienced workers really are the right people at the right place. They really know their jobs. Their efforts towards my daughter were really appreciable. My daughter is in school now but still asks for them and wants to see them again. So well done for the amazing job.

Very good nursery. Staff are taking very good care of the kids. I feel quite safe leaving my child there; knowing that his day will be full of activities and loads of fun. Staff are always happy to assist and adapt to each kid and take very good care and individual attention.

The governance and safeguarding are to a high standard. The implementation of the early years curriculum is well embedded into the nursery and expectations are high and the children achieve. Being associated with the nursery for roughly eight years I have two well developed children with an excellent
academic and social foundation.

Both my son and my daughter attended Sunshine Day Nursery since they were babies. The nursery staff have been very friendly and supportive, and have developed strong bonds with both of my kids. My kids have been always very positive and happy to go to the nursery. They have also learnt a lot through
games and fun activities, and I can see them very well prepared to go to school. I would highly recommend them.

Our son has been attending Sunshine Nursery since he was five months and is just turning two. He settled brilliantly. The girls in the baby room are absolutely fantastic, as are the other staff we have come across. Communication from management could’ve been better at times and pricing could have included
nappies/wipes to be more competitive. However, we are very pleased with the care/education offered and have had a good experience overall. We hope to keep him there until he’s off to school.

Reply from Director, Owner at Blooming Years Nursery Schools - Croydon

Thank you for your review. We greatly appreciate your time to do this. I just wanted to clarify we prefer to include the extracurricular activities in our fees as parents prefer to provide their own brands of nappies, wipes and creams. We welcome feedback from our parents and carers and have an open door policy. We are always happy to address any concerns you may have.
Thank you again for taking the time to review us.

The nursery staff are all very friendly and welcoming. My little one is always happy to go. The menu is varied, and they take the time to plan fun activities every day. They are good at communicating with parents, and I would highly recommend them.

Both my girls have attended Sunshine Day Nursery since they were babies; one started at six months and the other at seven months. They settled in really quickly and are always happy to go in. The staff are very supportive, and they plan a lot of activities for the children every day. My girls have been
very happy at Sunshine and continue to surprise me with how much they learn through play.
Sunshine is a nice and lovely environment for little ones. My girls have thrived there.

My daughter has been attending Sunshine Nursery since October 2020, when she was 19 months old. She is really happy there. She can't wait to go and play with her friends. The staff is smiling and helpful; the children learn new skills; the food is varied and delicious. As a parent, I am interested in
what she did during the day and I can easily check this in the application, where I can see their program by the hour, and the menu for the day as well. I would love my young child also to be attending Sunshine Nursery when the time comes, I highly recommend it! Thanks to the teachers and management!

The best teachers and managers ever. My child has been improving so much and learning how to pronounce so many words with the help of the teachers. I will definitely recommend children to come here. Best nursery. Thank you all.

I strongly recommend parents to visit this Nursery in the Croydon area and I would like to rate five out of five
for this Nursery.

Both of my children have attended Sunshine Day Nursery from the age of 1. They were very supportive during the settling in period in the baby room and have continued to be great throughout the years. The staff are always caring and my children made strong bonds with their key workers. The recent renovations
at the nursery make the environment bright and inviting for the children. My children enjoyed lots of activities such as baking and crafts, they loved visits from Zoolab and Totstars and playing in the garden. The nursery always made events like Christmas really special, with lots of activities that parents can be involved in too. They have dealt with the recent COVID guidelines brilliantly and worked hard to ensure the children were not unsettled.
Our youngest son has just had his final day at the nursery. He starts school in September. He has left with the skills he will need in reception. We will miss the nursery very much.

Both my children went to Sunshine Day Nursery and were very happy there. The teachers were great, especially with my daughter who always used to get tearful when we said goodbye. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Sunshine is a fantastic nursery. Our children have settled in really well, made great friends and enjoy going in every day. The standards of care and learning are excellent, and we will be sad to leave Sunshine behind when our children move on to school.

Both my children have attended Sunshine Day Nursery. My first is now at school while my little one still attends the nursery. Both my children were happy at the nursery, grew in confidence, developed lovely social skills (Eg manners and empathy) and learned a lot (from counting and biscuit making, to
say and nursery rhymes). The staff at the nursery are pleasant and provide daily feedback on how my children did that day. The staff are also supportive with developmental milestones (like potty training) and develop good bonds which the children, which reassured me that my children were happy and content at nursery.

Our daughter has been going to the Sunshine Day Nursery since March 2019. She is always happy when we take her there. We are very pleased with the improvement that she had since she joined. So far, she has made a lot of friends, and she loves all her teachers.
Looking forward to being able to send
her again.

I have had my two daughters at Sunshine Day Nursery for over a year now, and I am very grateful to the team for the exceptional care they have shown my girls. My girls have learned so much, and they have also become more confident and have made great friends themselves. They always look forward to being
at nursery, and they are always in a great mood when I pick them up at the end of the day. I feel very at ease and peace whilst working, knowing my girls are in a safe environment and that they will be learning and enjoying at the same time. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Blooming Years Nursery Schools - Croydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.755 for Blooming Years Nursery Schools - Croydon is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.755

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blooming Years Nursery Schools - Croydon is based on 9 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
