We absolutely love sending our little girl to Sunnybank. The care she receives there is second to none, and we have total faith that she is in very safe and capable hands. She has come on so much since starting and can sign, sing and socialise beautifully!

Sunnybank is an excellent nursery. My eldest left to start school in September 22, but she loves to go back and talk to the staff, who are always engaging and happy to see her. My youngest is currently at the nursery, and her confidence has grown. All staff have been flexible when I needed it, and
I really appreciate that. Both my girls loved/loves the food at nursery and tried all sorts (unlike at home!).

Simply amazing - the best place for my son. The staff there care for him as they would their own. They engage greatly with us as parents and will do anything to meet the needs of our family. We are so lucky to have gotten a place at Sunnybank, and our son clearly feels the same!

Amazing home-from-home nursery. Really good outdoor space for children, real mud and grass! Fabulous staff, caring and genuine. Extremely accommodating and flexible. We couldn't wish for a better nursery to care for our children.

When I was looking for a nursery for my daughter, I was really anxious due to having her in lockdown and her never being away from me, but as soon as I visited Sunnybank Nursery, I knew it was the nursery for us. All the staff were so warm and welcoming. I love the homely, safe feeling you feel as soon
as the door opens. I can't thank Sunnybank Nursery for all their support and kindness towards my daughter. I know when I leave my daughter at nursery for the day, she will be safe and well looked after and have an amazing day learning lots of new stuff and making new friends.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My son started at nine months and settled in so quickly. He is always happy to go, and I get lots of updates throughout the day, letting me know what he's been up to and what he's had to eat/drink etc.
I felt at ease returning back to work, knowing my child is well looked
after. He gets up to lots of fun and exciting activities and is offered a varied homemade diet throughout the day. The staff are lovely, and nothing is too much trouble. He is provided with age-appropriate activities and sensory play. Cannot recommend enough!

Sunnybank is a fantastic nursery, and our little boy loves going every week. They are very accommodating to shifts and short notice changes and really value each child. All the staff are very friendly, and everybody greets you whenever you go to the nursery. They also listen to your needs and wants
for the child and stick to that routine, so it really is home from home.
The app they use is great to see the vastly various activities they do every day whilst at nursery. Would 100% recommend it.

My daughter has been coming to Sunnybank since she was 9-months-old and is now 4. I can not thank the staff enough as my little girl has come on amazing, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly, and nothing is touch trouble. My daughter is always so happy when I pick her up and excited
to tell me about the great day she has had. Will be very sad to see her leave this year to start reception.

Sunnybank Nursery is a lovely nursery to put a child in. All the staff are very caring and go above and beyond with helping with anything you need. They keep you informed about everything. It is a very caring, nurturing environment, and I've had a lovely experience with them.

Since our little girl started in the babies, she has enjoyed going to nursery each week. She has learnt so much and gained a lot of confidence. We love to see what she’s been up to on the app and bring things home that she’s made. All the staff are lovely, friendly and are very caring. Would recommend
it to anyone.

Sunny Bank is the best thing I could have done for my daughter. She loves it, and the girls are so good with her. They’re very understanding and flexible if I’m stuck with childcare; they’ll sort it out for me best to their capability. I’d 100% be lost without them. Thank you for everything!

Sunnybank always goes above and beyond for my child, and the most important thing for me and my child is that they enjoy their time at nursery and feel happy to go. Sunnybank is the only place my child will let me take them and will feel comfortable letting me leave.

Swapped to Sunnybank in January after having concerns with our previous nursery and honestly can’t believe the difference. The staff are so lovely, and he is already so settled and has come on a lot in the short time he has been going. Drop off used to be a real problem with our previous nursery, he
would cry and scream and generally didn’t want to go, now we get a backward wave as he runs off inside. He looks forward to going and always enjoys it, and I feel happy and comfortable knowing he is well looked after, which as a mother, is all I can ask for! I would 100% recommend it.

Our daughter first started going to Sunnybank in October 2020. From the initial phone call to settling in sessions to her first day and onwards, the team have been fantastic. She loves going to nursery, and on occasions, doesn't want to come home.


As someone who has previously worked in early years

education, I feel that being in a stand-alone nursery is one of Sunnybank's best advantages. They offer a home-from-home experience, and there is an embedded "family" feel about the setting. From the management team to support staff, all are welcoming and make an effort to say hello when they see you.


The outdoor space is quaint, and we love that her class will make use of visiting the farm and parks just around the corner. The team's hard work has shone through as we have a very confident, vocal, and independent little girl.


Our journey began with Sunnybank during the pandemic, and they have dealt with it very well.


From all of us, thank you all for the amazing job you guys do!

The staff at Sunnybank helped our little boy to settle into nursery and helped him gain confidence in building friendships with other children his age, which was a big worry for us due to him being born in lockdown and not being able to meet anyone other than his support bubble. The nursery is flexible
and very accommodating; I can't recommend it enough!

Sunnybank is an amazing nursery. Full of great caregivers, variety of activities for my daughter, clean and just a really nice place for her to spend a few mornings a week. We are always kept well up to date with what she gets up to in the day we love seeing updates on the App and pictures, as well
as a food diary and nappy changes etc. She has really come on leaps and bounds in herself since joining and would highly recommend Sunnybank to anyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Sunnybank Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.970 for Sunnybank Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 Sunnybank Nursery is based on 14 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
