  • Sunshine Montessori Nursery (Wheeler End), High Wycombe
Sunshine Montessori Nursery is situated in Wheeler End in the beautiful Old Village Schoolhouse. It is a Montessori nursery with a focus on supporting children to become curious and independent learners. Children of every age also attend the forest school which is a short walk from nursery - they have just started a nursery allotment.

There are three rooms in the nursery, two more cosy, intimate rooms for babies and toddlers and a lovely large and airy preschool room.

The team are committed to providing nutritious, healthy menus and all the children's food is made fresh on site every day.

The nursery has developed a wonderful and enriching partnership with the local care home which is facilitated by Kiddleydivey. The partnership means children visit their buddies in the care home each week where the old and young participate in lots of fun activities together.

Both of my children have been in Sunshine from the baby room upward. The care and learning are very good, and opportunities for outside learning, including forest school, are excellent. The staff show genuine care for the children.

Sunshine in Wheeler End is everything I could have wanted for my daughter in her early years of life and education. From the love and care in the baby room to the fun in the toddler room and the introduction of school activities in the top room. All the carers are so dedicated, and it is obvious that
they enjoy doing their job and love every single child at the nursery.
Even though they haven’t got a huge outdoor playing area outside, they use the common and the Forrest school as much as possible, which gives the children a lot of contact with nature and a lot of fun.
The transition from one room to the other is always very supportive, and you get daily feedback on how your little ones are doing.
We loved our time at Sunshine, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Montessori nursery.

We’ve had children at Sunshine for over 6.5 years. We love Sunshine and couldn’t rate it highly enough. The staff are so caring and considerate - you feel so safe knowing your children are in their hands. The kids love it too. They are stimulated and challenged every day. We really do regard Sunshine
as an extension of our family.
The Montessori way of teaching works very well, and the staff do a great job tailoring the theory to each and every child. When our eldest left the nursery and went to school, they transitioned perfectly with no problems - this was a credit to Sunshine for preparing them so well.

Reply from Natasha Ascott, Managing Director at Sunshine Montessori Nursery (Wheeler End)

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have absolutely loved having your family as part of the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Sunshine Montessori Nursery (Wheeler End) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.920 for Sunshine Montessori Nursery (Wheeler End) is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunshine Montessori Nursery (Wheeler End) is based on 23 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 23 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.
