Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted from K C (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son has settled in so well to nursery, we are really happy with our choice. We were really supported by the whole team during the transition period, with excellent communication and trust-building from all the staff. Our son has developed great relationships with his key worker and the other regular staff in his room and always has a big smile on his face when we pick him up.

Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted from H C (Father of Child) published on 3 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have sent both of our children to Sunhill Day Nursery. The staff are always so pleasant and welcoming to our children, making every day a delightful experience. This is evident by both our kids loving every day they're at nursery and always happy to go in! (even left and gone onto school). We also love that it seems that all the staff seem to know all the kids names.

Review of St Nicholas Day Nursery from S J (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son loves coming to nursery and will always come home eager to tell us what he has been up to during the day and which friends he has played with. The updates we receive on the app are always beautifully written and it is lovely to get photos of our boy having the best time. He has such a strong bond with his keyperson and the other girls in his room are always on hand for advice. All staff I have spoken to during his time here have all been so polite and very knowledgeable.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at St Nicholas Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear your son is so happy at nursery and enjoys sharing his day with you.

Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started nursery here after a bad experience at a different local nursery. We were very anxious to begin with, worrying if we had made the right decision or if we were just swapping 6 of one for half a dozen of another. We couldnt have been more wrong!

The main thing that makes this nursery outstanding is the staff. The effort they put into helping our daughter settle in was amazing. They arrange different activities every day that are stimulating and fun and we are already noticing our daughter's development coming on leaps and bounds. Our daughter is a very fussy eater and the care and attention they put into helping her through mealtimes is so appreciated. Even her eating is coming on since she started this nursery only within this month. The app updates and photos are also such a bonus. Thank you so much to all of the staff at Sunhill for all that you do - it doesnt go unnoticed!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Rebecca. We're delighted to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and is enjoying her time with us. Supporting children and families through transitions is incredibly important to us, and it's lovely to know that our team's care, activities, and mealtime support have made such a positive difference.

Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted from Sophie F (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sunhill has been a saving grace! After an awful experience trying to settle in at another nursery, with staff that quite frankly had no interest and didn't want to be there. I was left feeling like a neurotic first time mum, but my gut said it just wasn't right. After looking at a couple more nurseries, we found Sunhill. The most welcoming staff, warm & friendly atmosphere and emotionally invested in our little baby girl. Nothing was too much. They cared and wanted us to feel at ease, making the transition for me so much more barrage and removed anxieties. Our baby was all smiles and loved it, which is the same for us as first time parents. Day nursery of dreams!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Sophie. We are delighted that you found our nursery warm and welcoming, and that we could help make the transition a positive experience for both you and your daughter.

It means a lot to hear that you felt supported and at ease, and we're thrilled that...

Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Royston from T C (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Jan has been amazing. I needed some urgent help to update my funding and add additional hours for my son. She resolved the issue very promptly and made the process as smooth as possible. She has consistently dealt with any queries I have had, since my son joined the nursery over a year ago, alongside the deputy managers Becca and Shannon. The strong leadership team evidently contributes to the happy nursery environment. He is always excited to go to nursery and the team always go above and beyond to ensure he is happy, healthy and meeting all of his developmental milestones. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Royston
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear about your positive experience and that we were able to support you quickly with your funding update and additional hours when you needed it most.

My son has attended Sunhill since he was 9 months old, he is now 2.5 years old and he absolutely loves going each week. We can't compliment the staff enough. They are all so lovely and caring towards the children. We've noticed a huge change in our childs development, he is constantly learning something new. We are very glad we chose to send our child to Sunhill.

Review of St Nicholas Day Nursery from Jonny S (Father of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter loves going to St Nicholas Nursery and we couldn't be happier. You can see the enthusiasm and care that staff show every child. They know the children so well and went above and beyond to help my daughter settle in. They have plenty of outdoor space and it's great that they can play and learn about nature. I also really like that they learn about lots of different cultures and festivals. It's such a warm and welcoming nursery, and so helpful that they offer a range of hours to suit you.

My daughter loves it here! She will talk (at length for a 2 year old!) about what she does at nursery, teach me the songs they sing and talk about her key workers and her little friends even on the days she is not at nursery! It is so re-assuring to know that you are leaving your child in the care of such a wonderful team who provide so many opportunities for engaging activities which nuture their development.

Review of Sunhill Day Nursery Royston from C T (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at this nursery for the past two years, and her older sibling also went here before starting school. We've had a really great experience.
The nursery is well looked after and there's very little staff turnover, which makes it feel stable. The kids are clearly happy and comfortable there.
Each room has its own outdoor space and the doors are often open so the children can spend lots of time outside, which is brilliant. They also do loads of fun activities like baking, painting and singing.

What really makes the nursery though is the staff - they're kind, very experienced and genuinely care about the children. They were also amazing at supporting us through potty training.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Royston

We are delighted to read that both of your children have had such a positive experience at our nursery and that the team's stability has been reassuring. It's wonderful to know that the outdoor spaces and support with potty training have been such valued parts of your experience.

My daughter has attended sunhill since she was 8months old, she is now nearly three. She has loved all three rooms she has been in so far and excited for her next room change. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, she often comes home talking about the nursery workers and the friends she's made there. My son is about to start the same nursery next month and it makes me happy knowing he will be looked after well. I highly recommend this nursery.

Huge thank you!!!
Since joining, our child's transformation has been wonderful to witness.
The way members of staff helped him settle in and supported him to become part of the group made a big difference in his confidence. We're especially grateful for the effort put into his communication; seeing him start to talk more, learn new words, and even begin counting has been a huge milestone for our family. Whether it's participating in group activities or trying new things, it's clear he feels safe and encouraged.

Highly recommend this nursery for their nurturing and educational approach!
