We have been very happy with Sunhill. My eldest daughter has attended for over a year. She is happy, well looked after and has learnt lots of new skills. The staff know all the children by name and there seems to be very low staff turnover (a very good sign!) I feel very comfortable leaving her in their
hands. They take all the children out for a walk in the local area twice a day which in my opinion can be better than an outdoor space as she is more streetwise and exhausted from all the walking. They regularly take them to parks and the library, have external sports and Spanish teachers once a week. I feel like the activities are varied and yet there is a strong routine that makes the children feel safe and secure. I know the managers are working on better parent communication and there is a newsletter once a week. My younger daughter will start there next month.

Reply from Jo Bamforth, Marketing Manager at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Creating a nurturing environment with engaging activities is so important to us, so it's wonderful to know it's had a positive impact. We really appreciate your recommendation!"

Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham is wonderful, both the setting and staff is incredibly pleasant and my child has settled and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Managment lead the nursery with pride and are very welcoming every morning and afternoon. The staff are incredibly polite and very helpful.
I have never had a problem with the treatment of my child and their is very well open ended communication. The app is updated daily with either photos or written updates. The staff are all notably brilliant and a credit to the old station faculty. There are daily activities set out for children including sports, reading, arts and crafts and Spanish lessons.
While there isn't an accessible outside play area they take my child out twice daily and have an indoor play area. The chef provides a wide variety of cooked and cold meals for the children with many flavours and fresh ingredients.

Our two-year-old son has been attending Sunhill for around a year. He started off in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. He was unsure at first as it was a new experience for him and the first few times he cried when he went in. However, now he always runs through the door with a smile on
his face every time!
He was also not very sociable in general before but has completely transformed since he's been going there. He is a lot more friendly and cheerful with all the kids and adults he meets (not just in the nursery). The staff are extremely competent and communicative, also the manager is doing a fantastic job including putting on extra events for the kids and parents.
There isn't an outside space as such on-site but this isn't a drawback as they regularly take the kids out for walks to various local parks. He loves all the food there too which is a massive bonus as sometimes he is a bit fussy at home. I can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery with no reservations.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

It is lovely to read how your son's social skills and confidence have developed since joining our setting and that you are both enjoying the activities and events. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.

The staff need better communication within the team, once you tell a staff member important information about your child and request for this to be passed on it never is. They also do not take the afternoon children in the baby room outside for fresh air, one of the staff members told me this herself
and I was extremely displeased. When I would ask what my daughter had eaten, I was told that they don’t give the babies food but snacks in the afternoon but when speaking to another staff member, I was told the opposite. Communication is terrible at this nursery and needs to be worked on.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We take your feedback seriously and will address this issue promptly within our team.
Our goal is to ensure that important information is consistently shared and passed on to all staff members involved in your child's care. We are committed to making the necessary changes to enhance communication and provide a better experience for you and your daughter. We also ensure that all children have access to the outdoors daily, so this feedback has been passed onto the team.
Your satisfaction and your child's well-being are of utmost importance to us, and we will do everything we can to make the improvements needed. Thank you again for leaving us a review

Very homely atmosphere for children. My child is now 15 months old, and he learned a lot of skills from the nursery since he started. The staff are lovely and treat the babies like their own. We are very happy we found this nursery; it's a "home away from home" for our child. Very grateful to all the
staff for looking after our child. You are all wonderful; you should all be proud of what you do for the children.

Unclear in regards to payment. I often explained my concern about my son's meals, but I had no response. My son is happy with the carers and I am satisfied with his learning, honestly. I was upset once I had to pay ten pounds for ten minutes late, even if I collect my son always later than the drop-off
time. I lost lots of money every month as there was a misunderstanding at the time of signing the contract.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Thank you for your feedback. We do have a late charge which is stipulated in our Terms & Conditions. This charge is in place as we have to ensure the nursery is staffed correctly for additional children who are being collected late, often resulting in staff members staying after their working hours. I hope that you understand. Thank you again for your feedback.

My son has attended this nursery since he was one, and we all love it. He skips in, in the mornings, and every day he tells us he has had a great day. The staff are amazing - it really feels like they care about the kids, and they go above and beyond. We were initially unsure because of the lack of
outdoor space, but they do take the kids out regularly to local parks or for walks. My son especially loves the trips to the train station and the Chinese supermarket.

Both my children have attended Sunhill and are very happy there. The staff greet the children with happy smiling faces every morning, and they are so happy to go in every morning. The staff are extremely caring, understanding and loving toward the children. We are enjoying the use of the app and seeing
a little more about their days. The only downside for us is there is no outside space on site, but the team do their best to take the children outside every day, and they are creative with their activities.

My daughter has loved being at Sunhill. What makes it special is the staff who have years of experience and genuine joy and love to help nurture and educate the children. The space inside is small, but the staff always try to get outside to different areas - which I think is more valuable in learning
about road safety and exploring nature than having private outdoor space.
The team have moved to update via a parent app, and we love seeing the updates on what the children are getting up to - would love to see more!
Admin and communication to parents have been pretty good - we were immediately welcomed when our childminder had to quit quite suddenly due to the impact of Covid, and Sunhill were very accomodating and reassuring in settling my daughter in.
The curriculum and way of learning are varied, and I particularly like that they take into account the different cultures and hobbies of the children to ensure things are interesting and fun.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The staff are always welcoming and easy to talk to. Our son settled in quickly and runs in happily in the mornings. Although they don’t have outdoor space, they take the children out for long trips outside - arguably giving them more room to run around than in a small garden area.
We are always kept
well informed of daily activities, and the staff are knowledgeable of the EY curriculum and how to best support children in their development.
One teeny tiny improvement would be if the app was updated slightly more regularly. It would be great to be able to see on the app how much sleep they have at the end of each day, and I love seeing the photos of the lovely activities. However, the staff will always tell you all the information at home time; I just have a memory like a sieve.
Overall, we are so happy with the flexibility of having a term-time only place, and the lovely staff make it such a positive experience.

A fun, friendly and very welcoming nursery, even in current times! They have always kept us informed on daily activities, naps, food etc, and it is reassuring that they keep clear notes on each child’s behaviour, developments and progress.
It’s nice knowing that they also take trips out to the park,
as well as have a huge range of toys/playtime/activities inside too.
I really like the flexibility of being able to choose school hours too, and have always had a clear and quick communication with support services as well as the nursery management too.
Our little one runs happily into the nursery, nothing more positive than that!

We have been very happy with Sunhill Early Learning. The staff are so friendly and warm and made the transition to starting nursery very easy. Our son talks about them with affection. The space is light and airy and always feels clean - it feels like a good size for the amount of children. The only
negative is that there is no garden but the staff compensate for this by taking the children out every day - often to the park for picnics and games. In general there are lots of activities such as painting and water play and we've been very pleased with our sons progress and development - particularly language. The food is healthy and varied. In general I highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.534)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.534) out of 10 for Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.385 for Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.385

  • 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 4.149 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.449

  • 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.
