  • Sunshine Nursery School, Sudbury
Sunshine Nursery School is situated in Sudbury, Suffolk, provides high-quality care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

The nursery was established in September 2003, with a view to offering the best facilities and environment possible to give busy parents peace of mind when choosing their childcare.

The extensive undercover outdoor play area and garden lends itself to all-weather outdoor activities and enhances the range of opportunities available to children.

Fresh food is very important and healthy eating will get children off to a good start. They have its own qualified in-house chef who freshly prepares healthy, well-balanced meals. All snacks, drinks and meals are provided for children throughout the nursery day.

The team are fully qualified and in total have over 85 years of child-caring experience between them. The team prides itself on attitude, patience and creativity to ensure all children receive the best care possible.

The nursery is structured across five different rooms, based around age groups. The age bands are not ‘set in stone’ so children move between the rooms when the time is right for them. The rooms are bright, happy places to inspire the children as they learn and develop.

My son has been going to Anglia Sunshine Nurseries since he was one. He has always had kind-hearted, friendly, caring nursery teachers that have always made him feel special. They were very supportive when he was upset with drop-offs and called me to reassure when he had settled. Now four years on I
have a confident, sociable little man who wouldn't be where he is today without the care he has received.
He has had some amazing key workers who have spent time to get to know him and his interests, creating activities for him to engage with around these areas to build his skills.
We are sorry to be leaving in September and will be using the holiday club due to the excellent quality of care they have shown.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

Stephanie, it has been an absolute pleasure to have your son here with us at Anglia Sunshine Nurseries. We have all enjoyed watching him grow into such an amazing young man who is most definitely ready for his new adventure at school and we are all looking forward to seeing him in the holidays and hearing all about his time.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.486)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.486) out of 10 for Sunshine Nursery School 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 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 4.887 for Sunshine Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 4.599 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunshine Nursery School is based on 17 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 142 number of registered child places is 28.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 28.4 = 0.599

  • 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.
