My Sunshine is a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. It’s very well-run, with management and staff that care. The learning and social aspects are fantastic, my son loves going each day and comes home with a huge smile. Thank you for providing a home away from home!

I can’t heap enough praise on the whole team at My Sunshine. They are so professional in their communications. They are all clearly dedicated to the children. The array of different activities each week is superb. Our daughter absolutely loves it there. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

My second child is about to graduate from My Sunshine and I cannot wait to have my third discovering the wonderful world they are setting for them there. As such, the nursery becomes better and better every year, it’s been fabulous to see what they have been offering the children, how happy they are
to go and how ready they are for school when they finish their time in preschool.

We’ve had a fantastic experience at My Sunshine Day Nursery. We sent our baby at 7 months of age and were worried he was little and it would take a while for him to settle in. But the staff were incredible and we are so amazed and proud of his development over the last 3 months. Nothing is too much
trouble and he absolutely loved going to nursery and seeing the staff and his friends. They do incredible activities from obstacle courses to messy play and outdoor time in the garden. Highly recommend!

My son has been so happy and has had an excellent development since being in the hands of a very very capable, knowledgeable, loving and warm staff at My Sunshine Nursery. He is always smiling going in and coming out. The nursery is extremely organised and has very clear plans in terms of what children
will be doing week to week (per-school) a lot of fun learning, a lot of interactive plays and always something new to keep them excited. We have our second one on the way and have no doubts that we want him to go to my sunshine too.

I love the nursery a lot, considering the amount and richness of activities they have with a great focus on children development. My son enjoys going there, there is a park nearby where children have outdoor activities, there is a good balcony at the facility where they can have fun during bad weather
day. All news and activities are reported by the app Famly.

Our little girl loves it here! The team do so many activities with her, and they also give her lots of love and affection. What is clear too (unlike other nurseries I have seen) is that the team genuinely seem to enjoy their job and always have a smile on their face! We also love that we can log in
to their app throughout the day and see what she’s been doing as well as receiving twice daily photo updates. Plus the meals she gets are so varied; she is definitely broadening her palate!

Our 11-month-old son joined My Sunshine in July and has loved every minute. The team have been incredibly professional with COVID and information flows have been excellent. The nursery easily accommodated our request for a quick onboarding process due to work commitments and our son settled in very
quickly. The nursery workers are all fantastic and our son is smiling as he arrives at the gate each morning and when we pick him up each afternoon. The range of fun activities he gets up to each day are more than I could ever think (or be able) to recreate at home. A really special little nursery. Would thoroughly recommend.

We count our lucky stars we found this nursery. We had put our son down for several other nurseries and decided to wait a little longer for an available place at My Sunshine and honestly it was the best decision we ever made.
Our son absolutely loves it there and the carers are all fantastic. Every
single detail of his day, from what he eats to when he sleeps is logged in real time on the nursery app, as well as lots of photos twice a day, all of which makes us feel like we really understand what our little boy has got up to during the day. I just wish they had a primary and secondary school so he never had to leave.

My child has attended My Sunshine for over one year in the Baby and Toddler rooms. My child loves it there, eats very well (but is very picky at home) and has lots of fun as shown by the twice-daily reports I receive. Staff are amazing and very nurturing. They are also very responsive with requests
and messages sent during the day.

Our child has been attending My Sunshine Day Nursery for over a year now. We are extremely happy with the care which he receives from the team, as well as the relationships formed between staff and children. Our child comes home happy, smiley and chirpy every day he attends. It is a pleasure to deal
with My Sunshine Day Nursery and they cannot do enough to ensure the wellbeing of all the children who attend. It's lovely to see the friendships forming between all the children and this is a result of the manager and her team creating a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment for all to thrive in.

I cannot recommend the manager and her lovely team highly enough. They are always available to answer any queries or concerns you have about your child in a nurturing and caring manner. The App works seamlessly to ensure you are always in touch with each other and know what your children are up to.
They take the time to get to know each individual child and parent and it really feels like one big family. My boys are so happy with the team and I trust them implicitly. They always go above and beyond in ensuring that everyone is happy, healthy and thriving.

We've been meaning to submit a review for My Sunshine Day Nursery; the manager and her team for some time. Our daughter has just turned two and has been going to the nursery starting at three days a week in the baby room from 11 months old and going up to five days as my hours at work have increased.
With no family nearby and both my husband and I having busy jobs, we really could not be happier with our daughter's safety, health and development in the hands of the staff at My Sunshine five days a week. She loves the activities - Hartbeebs, French lessons and recently tennis lessons mean she is getting so much exposure to a wide range of everything and her language and communication skills are fast developing. She also has strong bonds with key workers and fellow playmates. We love the app, so we can always track her daily development and activities through pictures and feedback from staff. Keep it up team! It's worth the longer walk to nursery most days than other local nurseries in our area.

Absolutely delighted with My Sunshine Nursery. Our daughter (aged three) is very happy there. I love the way that additional resources are brought in to add variety to the days e.g. heartbeeps and gym classes in the park, also regular visits to the nursing home. There is a lovely structure to the day
and there are lots of activities/themes to keep the children occupied. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They provide useful information at the end of each day. The app is also very informative. I would definitely recommend My Sunshine Nursery.

The manager and her team create a wonderful environment for little ones to spend time in. My son loves going to nursery and was able to bond with all the staff.
Going back to work was made so much easier by knowing how happy and how well cared for my little one was at My Sunshine.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.443)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.443) out of 10 for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake 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 4.6 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 4.874 for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
