Our daughter has been at the nursery from 9 months through to 2 1/2 years having had a great experience. All staff made her welcome and settled her in well, also settling us in as parents. Very calm and caring atmosphere as well as encouraging and fostering development in confidence, communication and motor skills. This goes for both rooms we've experienced (Raindrops and Rainbows) but the support shown by Raindrops as a baby room was second to none.

What can I say, Sunshine Day Nursery has been amazing! My daughter has been here since she was 11 months old and she has transitioned through all the rooms and is now leaving at 4 years old. I think the fact that she role-plays nursery the whole time she is at home shows how much she enjoys it there! The staff are friendly and caring and I've always felt 100% confident leaving my daughter there. The staff always give detailed updates and I enjoy seeing what my daughter is doing via the photos on the app. She is always doing fun activities and the staff make great efforts with events such as the Christmas party! I have also found this nursery great value for money and the staff go to great lengths to accommodate working parents who may need to swap days etc. My daughter has learned so much here! I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough and I know that my daughter's last day will be an emotional one for us both!

Sunshine Day Nursery has been brilliant. My little girl has attended here for 3 years; spending a year in each room. The staff are so caring and attentive, they take the time to get to know each child. Over the years, they have improved her confidence so much and provided her with the skills she needs to start school. She has made so many friends there, and it really is a lovely place for her to attend. The hours are also brilliant for a working parent, and from booking to paying and funding forms, the staff make everything really easy. Would recommend Sunshine Day Nursery as a fun, caring and vibrant place.

Both of my sons have attended the nursery from 1 year old up until the eldest who is just about to leave to start school. Throughout this time, all of the staff have been supportive and caring and have encouraged them to be themselves, helping them to blossom into the clever and loving little boys that they are. The staff take great care with my youngest's dietary requirements, ensuring there are options available for him, I have always had great confidence that they are taking care of his needs at all times. I am also so grateful for the support with my eldest son whose lack of confidence often impinged on his development, since being in Preschool 1, he has come on leaps and bounds - he is now more than ready to start school in September, although he will be sad to say bye to the lovely staff and all the friends he has made. I would definitely recommend this amazing nursery!

Sunshine Day Nursery is such a lovely and friendly nursery. Both my daughters have been looked after here, and they have had such a fun time doing all the activities! The staff are caring, kind, experienced in child care and very professional. Highly recommended!

Our son joined Sunshine in February 2021 as a 'covid baby'. He had had limited experience engaging with peers or people other than immediate family due to the pandemic. I think back now to my worries about nursery and they were unfounded. Sunshine Day nursery have been phenomenal from day one. They took our son under their wing and nurtured him into the vibrant and confident 4 year old he is now. He has some sensory needs which have been identified during his time at nursery and he has been encouraged and supported with these every step of the way. The staff have recommended and implemented support and changes for him to ensure that nursery and preschool continue to be a positive environment. The staff celebrate his successes as if he was family. It is hard to put into words just how clearly their care about his physical and emotional wellbeing. He is going to miss Sunshine so much when he starts school, he has developed an amazing foundation for his future education and friendships.

I have loved this nursery they have cared for my child and helped him flourish. I can tell the staff truly enjoy my child's presence and have really bonded with my son. They have catered to his needs in every way possible and I cannot say enough about the staff here. They are absolutely brilliant! Especially in Rainbows where my child recently transitioned from, the ladies have been amazing I felt like my child was safe and cared for as though they were with a family member!

Our son began attending the nursery in January this year and he has had a really pleasant experience so far. He always looks forward to going to preschool. The staff are very professional, excellent communicators, providing us with a report on his activities at the end of each day. They are very hardworking, providing real-time updates in his news feed. The nursery environment is always very clean and free of hazards, they don't compromise on safety. In addition, the children are provided with nutritious and healthy food to help with their growth and development. Prior to joining, he struggled with his speech, but now he speaks very clearly without stuttering and has improved in his use of vocabulary. Our son has also developed a strong interest in painting as a result of his nursery experience. He will surely miss it there and take fond memories of the nursery to his new school. We are very satisfied with the fundamental knowledge our boy has received at Sunshine Day Nursery.

All the staff are very kind and patient ensuring the children have a range of activities daily, communication with parents is great, via email is great, and everything is communicated well. My daughter loves the staff and has made some lovely friends who will be moving on to school with her.

Excellent and professional. Really good communication with us and demonstrate outstanding care for our children. Our children have additional needs and Sunshine Day Nursery work really well in supporting these. I would thoroughly recommend Sunshine Day Nursery.

Really positive experience with the nursery. Staff are lovely which made it easy for our daughter to settle in. Staff are able to give updates on how they’ve been at the end of the day which is always nice to hear.

Absolutely an amazing nursery, my daughter is always happy and looks forward to seeing the staff in the morning. She is always clean and happy when I collect her. The staff love their job and I can tell as my daughter is always happy, so are the staff, really friendly and happy feel. I've got three children, 14, 10 and 10 months old - this is by far the best nursery I have sent my children to.

Sunshine Day Nursery have looked after both of my girls for throughout their baby, toddler and preschool development. The staff are an absolute credit to the nursery and have always been so friendly, caring and professional. The nursery has always been able to accommodate some flexibility when I have requested additional sessions for my kids. They have wonderful resources from indoor sand and water play, painting and imaginative play, to outdoor spaces which are used in good weather. My kids really have loved coming to nursery and the location at the local hospital has made it so convenient for working parents to pick up and drop off within the working day. My eldest daughter looks forward to attending the holiday club at Sunshine Day Nursery, where she enjoys being a bit independent with a small sum of money at the tuck shop, meeting new friends, being creative, watching movies and going on amazing trips with the dedicated staff.

Both of our little ones attend Sunshine, with our eldest leaving this month after nearly 4 years. The environment is friendly and fun as well as caring and nourishing. They have a great way of nurturing each child’s individuality and letting them be themselves. I have always felt my children were in safe hands and have developed good relationships with staff and other children. The staff are also understanding of dietary requirements and medical conditions with good record keeping. Regular updates are given on our children's development and progress. My eldest is sad to be leaving they have enjoyed it so much, it really has been a home away from home for them.

The most amazing nursery. My little boy came here from being 2 up until leaving for reception and is diagnosed with ASD and is also nonverbal and nothing was ever too much, they supported me all the way, could never thank all the staff enough.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery since November 2021 and has really enjoyed her time there. The staff are so friendly and have really helped with my daughter's confidence and her speech. The facilities are great, with plenty of toys and activities, both inside and out. I was very nervous when it came time to send my daughter to a nursery, but she absolutely loves her days here and is always coming home happy with lots to say about her day. All the staff are lovely and can not help enough.

My little girl absolutely loved coming to this nursery. We had a bad experience with a previous nursery she used to attend, and all the staff at Sunshine completely turned this around for us. All of the staff are so lovely and professional, and the nursery setting is brilliant. My little girl has really developed and has learnt so much since attending Sunshine. We will be really sad to go, but I'm confident they have set up for a positive start to school. Can't thank the staff enough for all they have done.

My son has been at Sunshine Day Nursery since he turned one, and I returned to work. I looked around a couple of other nurseries that were manic and loud, and then I visited Sunshine and couldn’t believe how calm and quiet it was. Throughout his time at nursery, he has been so looked after and has loved his teachers in every class. I’ll be so sad for him to leave and go to school this year. I really can’t recommend this nursery enough for the care they give the children and the peace of mind you have as a parent knowing your child is being so well looked after when you’re not there.

Sunshine has looked after my 21-month-old daughter since I went back to work when she was 14 months old. Her key workers have been outstanding. My daughter was upset at most of the drop-offs, to begin with, but now happily toddles in without saying goodbye! I would recommend Sunshine to all parents.
03 October 2022
The staff have been kind and caring over the years, and I can't thank them enough. Nothing is too much trouble. I had anxiety about going back to work, but I didn't need to. This nursery took really good care of my daughter and made the transition easier. I've always found the office to be helpful, and they sort out any problem you may have. Over the years, my daughter's social skills have improved as well as her overall learning. My daughter loves her nursery experience and all the staff.
