Sunflower Nursery provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. The nursery boasts spacious, well-maintained facilities with dedicated areas for different age groups - My two kids aged 2 years and 4 years are coming here for 15 hours and the staff is experienced, attentive, and genuinely
cares about the well-being and development of each child. I am very happy and satisfied.

My daughter started nursery in April 2024 and she has settled in very well. The staff at Sunflower Nursery made her feel very comfortable and she is very close to them all. They are all very helpful and approachable. I will be applying for my son to start as I am really happy with this nursery. They
keep me up to date with everything my daughter gets up to which is great.

Sunflower Nursery is a very good nursery. Staff are very helpful and friendly and they have flexible timing. My daughters loves it there and finds the activities and toys they offer very enjoyable. She loves the teachers and her friends. Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking. I love that they
have an online system where parents have access to pictures and notes on what their children are doing and that they update it regularly. My daughter comes home with adorable cards she made for me and cute activities, crafts and stories about what happened that day, as well as things she has learned. Again thank you to all the aunties and all the stuff.

Sunflower Nursery is my favourite local nursery, and my son loves it a lot! He has been there for nearly 2 years, and I can see a big improvement and achievement in his life. He became more independent and socialised. This place is amazing because there are two separate gardens, enabling all of the
children to enjoy being outdoors most of the day. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, creating an ideal environment for the children to grow and learn.
The professional and dedicated team guides these experiences, focusing on personal social and emotional development, understanding the world, communication, problem-solving, and other areas. They have built such a beautiful relationship with my son, who does not stop singing their praises and telling stories about his time there!
I highly recommend this nursery and its professional, trustworthy, and friendly team!
Thank you!

Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience to the children, and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to which was also very important.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.988)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.988) out of 10 for Sunflower 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.988 for Sunflower Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.988

  • 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 Sunflower Nursery is based on 21 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
