Our daughter started nursery at Sunhill just over a month ago. I have been extremely impressed and comforted by the team at Sunhill. The amount of support and professionalism balanced with utmost care and respect we have received has been outstanding. As a mother coming off maternity leave with my first baby I was really nervous about my daughter being cared for by someone else. Not only has she been cared for, she is thriving. I would highly recommend Sunhill to other parents.

The staff at Sunhill are lovely, very kind, genuine attentive, the management team are very helpful and accommodating. Sunhill has made a huge difference in our child's life to get her started on the way to big nursery. Staff team are warm very informative. Very happy with all care received compassion and empathy.

The staff are amazing. My 2 kids have settled in so well. My son looks forward to going to nursery everyday. My son has been to a few nursery before but this is one of the best nursery I have found in the borough.

Both my daughters have loved attending Sunhill Nursery. Never NO problem (no tears!) at drop offs which is always a good sign! They are always offered varied foods, play outside in the fresh air and taught lots of different skills. I highly recommend Sunhill Nursery.

My son has been attending Sunhill since January the team in the baby room are fantastic and supportive to myself and my son he has been reaching milestone so quickly and always seems like he has a great day ! I can not thank the team enough! For everything they do, they work so hard ! And I look forward to seeing my son flourish within the setting.

Very pleased with all aspects e.g. care, communication, facilities, friendliness of staff. Only improvement would be the surface of the car park and exploring what could rights the nursery have as tenant to ensure this is improved.

From the moment you enter the door you can tell how dedicated everyone is to your child. Our son has the best time at nursery and we see how much each and every person genuinely cares and tries their best! You can tell that time with the children always comes first. We love all the little updates we get on the app (especially the photos of him having fun!)

Sunhill has been a wonderful addition to the 'village' of people who are involved with the upbringing of our daughter. Being a single mum, I have found the support and advice from the management team a huge help. They are always available to speak to and I find them to be fully responsive and engaging. They are kind and they genuinely care, and to me, that is priceless. The staff in Sunbeams have been nothing but brilliant. My daughter is thriving and seems to really enjoy the variety of activities and learning opportunities. The staff always follow instructions and adapt accordingly to my daughter's needs. For example, we have recently shortened her nap, and it is comforting to know that this is mirrored at nursery as well. My daughter's key person was instrumental in settling in my daughter and we both think highly of her. I am happy with the variety of healthy meals offered and I love that the children get to be involved with making their snacks and desserts.

Our daughter has flourished in the five months she has been in Stars. The kindness, dedication and hard work the staff put into her are causing her to excel at milestones, encouraging her personality and showing her kindness. I honestly am so pleased with choosing for her to attend Sunhill. We are so grateful for all the staff.

What can I say, Sunhill has been so amazing for our daughter, who has been attending for the last 18 months. The staff are incredible, so kind and caring and really do look after our daughter hand and foot - she's a very happy toddler at Sunhill. The food and facilities are fantastic as well. They are also very sensible when it comes to things other nurseries can be a bit silly about like managing sicknesses and unplanned late pick-ups (eg when the trains are a mess for commuting parents like us), which is much appreciated!

My daughter started in the baby room at the beginning of October and she is thriving. I cannot put into words just how amazing this nursery is, they have been so supportive and accommodating from the moment we had our first booking in session. She is our first child and hadn't ever been left prior to starting nursery at 11 months. Sunhill allowed a gradual start to full days over a 1 month period which helped my baby settle in and form the close bonds she has with the staff in the baby room. My baby has formed a lovely bond with her key worker and many other staff, you can tell how much all of the staff love the babies who attend the nursery. This is honestly the best thing, you are leaving your child with people who genuinely love and care for them. The staff go out of their way to learn the individual needs of every child and she has been so supported in every aspect. I look forward to continuing our nursery journey with Sunhill and we really feel part of the nursery family.

Can't rate this nursery highly enough. Our child was here from 10 months old all the way to 3 years old. He has flourished and that is all thanks to the blueprints the nursery has laid down. Great communication and always worked with us for the best of our child. The staff here are great, they really do make the little ones feel special. Not a bad word to say!

Our 17-month-old baby boy has been going to Sunhill Berkamstead for four months now. I was really anxious at the start about how he would handle such a big change but the staff at the Nursery have been incredible and made it such a smooth transition for all of us. Wolfie loves going to nursery and his development and social skills have only accelerated in the last four months, he is a happy confident sociable baby, learning new words and developing new skills every day. His key worker who he absolutely adores and he has also formed particularly strong bonds with two others. The communication has been amazing from the start. The team are brilliant giving me updates at the end of the day about what he's been up and what he's been eating. Which is a lot, and super healthy and varied. The lady who runs the nursery is always on hand if I've got any concerns and has been super accommodating when we've been left in the lurch with the other childcare options.

I cannot praise Sunhill Nursery enough. We have two boys aged two and four who have been attending Sunhill for over a year. The littlest is absolutely thriving in Sunbeams, he runs in every day and is welcomed with such energy and love it's wonderful to see. There is no end to what the nursery will do to support these children, from yoga to squeezing their own orange juice! They really are full of energy and so much fun! Our eldest is in Planets, the preschool room, they take on his energy with such enthusiasm and he is both nurtured and prepared for his transition to school. He has come home so many times learning sign language or telling me of his rides in tractors. They are both so happy there, it's a warm and welcoming environment and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to families.

A warm, friendly, loving nursery! This was the impression we had of this nursery when we first looked around 6 years ago and ultimately what made us choose Sunhill over other local nurseries (along with the amazing outside play areas!). Just yesterday, I dropped off my youngest and he arrived at two members of staff full of smiles for him, engaging him in chit-chat (they know him so well), helping to reassure him and ease the transition from leaving me. This is something I have always appreciated and admired about the staff- whatever the time of day, whatever they are in the middle of, whatever the room (from the baby room to the preschool room), the staff always give the warmest welcome to the children and cuddles if needed! I am very happy to say that our impression of the nursery on that day looking around is exactly what this nursery is: A place where the staff really know and value each child, helping them to flourish and develop in confidence, ready for school.

Our son has had a fantastic experience at Sunhill over the past 3 years. It always feels safe, caring and a place where he can learn and have fun. The staff have been amazing throughout his time there.

We have our second child now at the nursery and settling in beautifully to the Baby Room. We had a wonderful experience with our first child at the nursery and he has been there for over three years, loving every second. Our second has loved her settling in time - we really could not have asked for more. Her key workers have been exceptional. They have made the transition so easy and I felt like they were on the journey with me and my daughter instead of just going through the motions. It's a massive thing to trust people with your children and you really feel like all of the staff at Sunhill get that and are always going above and beyond, despite working in what I can imagine is an extremely demanding sector. The manager is absolutely all over everything, is knowledgeable and warm and the children love her.

My daughter attends Sunhill in Berkhamsted. She is my first child so I was a bit nervous about the transition back to work and starting nursery. From the start, the nursery had a ‘family’ feel from management to the members of team in her room. Nothing was too much trouble, they devised an onboarding plan to suit us with regular touchpoints to keep me updated. She has been there now three months, her development has been excellent and the care she has received has been outstanding. I enjoy the end-of-day catch-ups with the team in the room, filling me in with what they have been up to. My daughter is happy and confident. I can’t thank them enough!

My daughter has attended the nursery for two and half years now and is happier than ever. The staff are so attentive to her needs and she talks about them at home all the time. We have a great relationship with the manager who always gives us time for a catch-up. I cannot praise this nursery enough for the support and care they have given our family.
14 March 2024
Unfortunately, this nursery has really gone downhill in the last year. From poor communication regarding important events like a keyworker being out sick for an extended period of time and no acknowledgement from management to parents letting them know or any updates. Extremely unsafe car park, that is pitch black with kids walking around. Rationing food to children, which is just bad, kids are told they can't have seconds. Also, snacks are just sad, cracker or half a breadstick. If you have a picky eater like I do, they aren't offered anything else, they just let them go hungry and no extra snacks are given to them. So many issues with the app that is supposed to give parents all the info they need for their kids, I can't believe how many updates I received about meals my child had when they weren't in the nursery that day. Now, they have just raised the fees 10%. This is now the most expensive nursery in the area and they can't even put up one light in the car park. Stay away.
