Would not recommend sending any child here. My child was neglected. Basic care not given, sat on a member of staff's knee, fell off and smacked her head on the wooden floor leaving a large bruise. How a 10 month old baby falls off a staff members knee is concerning. Repeated head bumps resulting in
bruises and when raising your concerns being spoken to in a condescending manner and made to feel like your over reacting. Collecting her freezing cold to the point her fingers, toes and nose are red raw. Very unprofessional management and staff who have no thrive for what they do.

My daughter has been coming for over a year now and absolutely loves her time there and always shows us with the washing she brings home.
The team is amazing and caring. It feels like they are part of the family at times.
Couldn't ask for a better place to take my daughter.

My child loves going to nursery and loves all the staff. My child struggles with regulating her emotions and has improved gratefully by receiving support from the staff. She is always telling us how much fun she's having in nursery. The setting is a home from home and is so comforting for children.

Sunnydale Nursery is a wonderful place and my daughter loves attending. The school's location is wonderful and the staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. I love that my daughter attends Forest School and has so much fun outside. I wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Sunnydale is an exceptional nursery and preschool. My son has been attending since the summer of 2023, and he absolutely loves it there. The staff are genuinely dedicated and caring, ensuring each child feels valued and supported. The nursery offers wonderful additional activities such as forest school
and swimming, which enhance the children's experience and development. It truly is an outstanding environment for young children.

Since my little boy started at Sunnydale in September 2024, they've been so supportive and very accommodating.
The outdoor space is great. My little boy loves seeing the rabbits every day.
Highly recommend.

Our little boy has been at Sunnydale Nursery since Feb 2023. Firstly I want to mention how helpful and understanding the office staff are when amending our little boy's days/times due to my work commitments. The entire staff force are incredibly helpful and friendly, every single day, come rain or shine.
When collecting our little boy, the room staff always make time to let you know how he's been and what they've been up to. All the staff continuously communicate with parents to help the little ones self develop, a particular topic for us at the moment is potty training. I know hand on my heart if our little boy didn't have a space at Sunnydale Nursery, he would not be at the stage he is with his self-development. He has become very confident with interacting with other children, and staff members and his speech has come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery offers a wide range of activities, indoors and outdoors. 10/10 rating from us. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

I have struggled to find a setting that fits my little boy's love of the outdoors, but Sunnydale is perfect. He loves the mix of inside and outside play and exploring with the support of the staff. He is flourishing there. Thank you.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 10 months old. She is now 3 and I still send her in the holidays as myself and my little girls absolutely love this place. My daughter has absolutely thrived here and she's fallen in love with a lot of the staff.
It's a beautiful setting and they
enjoy lots of outdoor activities.

My son has been coming to Sunnydale since he was ten months old, and he absolutely loves it! The staff are excellent and always provide new and fun activities for the children to enjoy. The food is brilliant too, with lots of variety (my son eats like a king!), and the outside play area is great! I
love how they take the children to play outside whenever they can. So glad we chose Sunnydale as our nursery!

My son goes to this nursery twice a week and loves it so much! I feel completely at ease when he’s there and always get daily updates and photos of him having fun. The staff who work there are all absolutely amazing and I really couldn’t pick a better bunch of people to look after my boy.

My son has been attending Sunnydale Nursery for nearly a year now. There are new activities each day which are very engaging.
This is highlighted most days through pictures of the activities planned.
The app is good; we are getting developments through this and photos also.
The staff are friendly
and welcoming and very caring towards our son.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic nursery that has really brought the best out of our boy.
He has learnt so much already, and he has really thrived in this environment, learning with his new friends.
The nursery spends a lot of time outdoors exploring, and he goes on trips throughout the year.
I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else.

Both my children have gone since turning one. The girls feel like family to us and the children. The outside facilities are fantastic, especially love forest school!
They are always doing new fun activities indoors and outdoors.
So glad we picked this nursery! Wish they could stay instead of going
to school!

My daughter has been with Sunnydale Nursery for one and a half years, and she loves it!! She is so happy going and always comes home in a great mood and very tired, which is good for me when I’ve been at work all day. The staff are so good with my daughter, and I know she is very well looked after.

My daughter started at the beginning of December last year, and she absolutely loves it! Always kept up to date via the app or Facebook page. She’s always busy playing and learning. The girls are all lovely and share all excitement about my daughter meeting her milestones or if she’s done something
new.

Lovely nursery. So caring for our daughter. Great activities planned; she's very happy there and is always happy to go in. Now restrictions are starting to ease they have started doing more events to allow parents in, a Bonfire event, Christmas fayre, all really helped with the connection between nursery
and home. Moved onto electronic diaries, so get to see updates on key development milestones.
They are always happy to hear any feedback and overcome any issues you may be having.

Sunnydale Nursery has been in our family for 4-years now when our eldest daughter attended for the first time. From the very first settling in visit to now; four years down the line, we know we made the right choice. Our girls have had the best start in their little lives; from the wonderful staff to
the amazing activities, to the family events and trips out; it’s the little details that make this place so special. Our girls consider it their home away from home. Every day a new story to tell about what fun they have had. It has been a pleasure watching them grow and flourish into the little ladies they are becoming. This place makes going to work and the mum guilt that comes with it that little bit more bearable.

My son started at Sunnydale when he was just 7-months-old. He settled straight away. I’m completely at ease knowing my son is well looked after, and it shows as he is such a happy boy. His development is amazing, and that’s all down to the team at Sunnydale. We get daily reports on what’s he’s eaten/slept/activities
etc. Sunnydale is an extended part of our family... simply the best!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.545)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.545) out of 10 for Sunnydale Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.667 for Sunnydale Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 4.878 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunnydale Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.978

  • 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.
