Stowmarket Nursery and Pre-school are set across two sites, ensuring that they are able to give children a truly unique and special nursery experience. Children start their journey at Stowmarket Nursery. The nursery on Bury Street provides the children with their own unique space and carefully chosen resources to become confident and curious learners. The setting is perfectly sized so that children are in small groups and are able to develop at their own pace.

The nursery has two rooms and an inside garden where natural sounds are played, outside activities are planned and carried out. The children will often visit the Pre-school which is just a short walk away. This gives the children the opportunity to use the large outdoor garden as well as becoming familiar with the Pre-school environment and team.

When the children are ready, they will transition to the Pre-school setting, which is just a few minutes away. The preschool children have the benefit of having their own site in order to fully prepare them for ‘big’ school life. Having their own space allows the children to develop their personal, social and emotional skills required for future transitions. The children will already be familiar with the Pre-school setting from previous visits, ensuring a smooth transition for all.

The Pre-school has two large rooms which offer a wide variety of different learning opportunities and experiences. The outdoor play area consists of plenty of room for running and playing, a mud kitchen, loose part construction areas, water walls and a sand pit.

The nursery and pre-school offer exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

My child picked up quickly within a few weeks of attending nursery. Good vocabulary, great independence, great interest in learning.
I had to enrol her younger sibling as well.
The teachers are good and friendly.
Most importantly, they have good hygiene. My children never reacted to the school meals.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son started nursery 6 months ago just after his first birthday and I couldn’t believe how far he has come in that time. You can see the enjoyment he has when he knows I’m taking him to nursery which speaks volumes to the staff and how they have helped him settle. When he has had wobbly mornings on
drop off the staff have been so helpful with giving plenty of cuddles to help him settle quickly and before I know it I am receiving photos through the app of him happy and enjoying an activity that is planned for the day. We have found his speech has come along vastly in this time, learning to sit on a chair when eating his snack, sitting and playing with others and learning to share.

I can't fault the nursery or staff, they really are amazing to our little boy considering he started so young so I could return to work, he loves going there and learning and playing! He has developed so much since started here, he has become a very sociable chap and is always smiling when he sees the
girls and children on arrival.
Thank you so much you guys do for our little boy.

My daughter loves all the staff and has made amazing friends. The manager is always accommodating to our needs if I need extra time booked in. Overall we have had a lovely experience so far and on occasions my daughter gets to mix with the older children which seems to be great for preparing her for
preschool later this year.

Always so lovely. My children love going and always seem to have a lovely time. So happy we picked this nursery for them!
I was so anxious for my boys to start nursery, especially as I wouldn’t be there, but honestly, my mind was put at ease after the first 10 minutes. They always have so much fun
and sleep so well that night! Wonderful place with wonderful people.

My daughter who is six went to Sunhill from nine months old until school age, and now my son does. He started at around ten months old. At first, it took 2-3 weeks for him to settle in and get used to the new routine. All throughout this time, staff were kind and considerate and reassuring to both him
and also me with good communication - even on his bad days. The staff are all fabulous and really friendly.
It’s now been two months, and he absolutely loves it. He comes home a very happy boy. Seeing what the nursery did for my daughter and now my son - even in such a short time is the reason I would absolutely recommend Sunhill.
I would say to any parents that you cannot expect the level of care that you would give your child when you’re at home. So yes, they may come home with a fuller nappy, snotty nose or covered in paint, but as long as they’re smiling - that’s all you can ask for.
Some members of staff are more forthcoming about your child’s day - that is the only constructive feedback that I would give.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Stowmarket Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Sunhill! We're delighted to have cared for both your daughter and son, supporting their growth from such a young age. It's great to hear that the staff were kind, considerate, and reassuring during the settling-in period, providing excellent communication even on challenging days. We're proud of our fabulous and friendly staff, who strive to create a welcoming environment.
Your feedback regarding staff communication is valuable, and we will take it into account for continuous improvement.
Thank you for your support and trust in Sunhill.

Staff are informative about the day your child is at the nursery. Friendly bunch. Their approaches are positive to the children's behaviour. The facilities are always clean when I arrive, either start, middle or end of the day. Would highly recommend it. The learning aspect, I feel I can't comment on
as much, as I am not sure what they undertake in terms of learning; however, there is an area for sensory and also for reading, so I'm sure this goes hand in hand. If your child is fussy with food, they will cater to needs, and just overall, a really nice and helpful team and safe place, I feel I am leaving my child.

I have been very happy with how my son has settled into nursery in such a short time period. He is always so happy to be dropped off at the nursery, and his face lights up when we approach the nursery door. It is lovely to see the photos of him completing a range of activities, from crafts to building.
Seeing him interact with other children at pick-up is just a wonderful experience, and the variety of food offered is great and nutritious.

It's a lovely nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing! The manager couldn't be more helpful if he tried! My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending. However, the choice to stop pack lunches is a massive blow as this not only financially but makes it more difficult for my daughter to
enjoy taking in her own lunch, which took alot of getting used to and unnecessary tantrums because she wasn't allowed. Trying to contact head office is also not an easy task now it has been taken over by another company.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Stowmarket Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for your feedback. One of the main reasons that we removed packed lunches from the settings was to allow greater control of the foods that enter the nurseries. We do have a number of children that attend with allergies and dietary requirements, so by controlling what enters the nurseries, we are in a better position to ensure their safety. We know exactly what ingredients go into the meals that we provide, and this will help us to ensure we can provide the safest environment for all our children. Having nursery meals also provides many additional advantages for children, which we would like all children to benefit from. Our menus change regularly and aim to provide a variety of healthy options for the children, meeting the required nutritional guidelines. We are always looking to better our menus, so please do let us know if you have any particular suggestions- you can give feedback via letusknow@theoldstationnursery.co.uk. Thank you again.

The staff are all lovely, very good with the children. She will come back with her hair all brushed and put up, something I have great difficulty with presently as she is so strong-willed!
She has a lot of knowledge for a just turned 2-year-old, able to count to ten and name all the colours.
The staff
spend a lot of time with the children giving reassurance and cuddles when needed which is really nice.
They also visit their other nursery which is close by, so the children get a variety and are able to mix with other children more.
I highly recommend the nursery and all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.300)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.300) out of 10 for Stowmarket Day Nursery & Pre-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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.885 for Stowmarket Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.415 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stowmarket Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.615

  • 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.
