Day Nurseries Owned by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Sunshine Day Nursery have supported 2 of my children through the early years of their lives. My eldest thrived in sunshine day nursery and graduated in 2024 and all the staff had been extremely supportive, warm and welcoming. They helped her thrive and feel safe away from home. My little boy who is currently there who does struggle with emotional regulation and delayed speech has had the most fantastic support. The staff are always happy to talk to us and work with us to help him when he's having moments that are difficult. They support referrals to the SENDCO lead and always have time to talk through things with us.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I recommend it to my friends who will be having little oneself soon. My son absolutely loves going here and he's made some friends which he loves to play with. Other parents are also kind and respectful. Staff are very encouraging especially when we were potty training. I have a baby girl now and have already secured her place here for when I return to work.

Thank you to all the staff, my oldest boy is due to leave this week and I just know how much he is going to miss everyone there. The amount he has learnt and come on over the last year at pre school is unbelievable and I can't thank everyone enough.

I would definitely recommend the nursery!

Both my kids have gone to this nursery from ages 1. They both loved it and I've never had any issues. Staff are great and listen and work with you. The staff are caring and facilitate learning well. Both my kids have thrived here.

The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development. Our son had such a wonderful time attending and always looked forward to going in each day. It has been lovely to see how happy, confident, and well cared for he has been throughout his time there. We are so grateful to the whole team for creating such a warm and nurturing environment.

To the team at SDN who will hopefully read this, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you so much, I will miss you

It is definitely a place to recommend.

Can not recommend this nursery enough, my son has been going to this nursery since his rainbows class. They go above and beyond for your kids and take care of them like they are their own. Any concerns I have brought up have always been dealt with quickly and professionally. My son has a hard time leaving me at drop off, they have gotten used to this and try every way possible to cheer him up the minute he walks in, normally with lots of cuddles which he loves. The best nursery I could have sent my child too. Sunshine Day Nursery you will be missed!!

We have used Sunshine for both our kids and they have both loved it immensely, learned a lot, and made so many friends. They have been so flexible as well which is very useful for changing hours when doing on calls.

We recommend it to any family looking for an outstanding nursery where children are truly cared for and inspired to thrive.

Amy, Arthur's key worker in pre school 1 is so kind and lovely. He was really shy to start of with and Amy took the time to get to know him and make sure he settled as we had tears at the start she always reassured him and reassured me he would be fine and took the time to make sure he was ok. Amy is great at her job and we are so happy she was Arthur's key worker. I know Arthur is in good hands and well looked after when I drop him off which I am so grateful for, as all the staff in pre school 1 are amazing with the children. I would highly recommend this nursery. His confidence has grown as well as learning lots of new skills and making lots of new friends.

The only reason we are leaving is to align with our older child's school drop-off and pick-up timings.

I would like to thank the team at Sunshine for providing excellent care during the time my son's attended. From joining at 10 months old - 3 years I have felt full confidence in the team. My son has spent time in Raindrops 2 and the Rainbows room. I feel all staff members in each room and within the nursery are welcoming and friendly and kept me well informed on picks up of how he was during the day. Contact was provided where needed and updated posts on the app. I would definitely recommend Sunshine and know my son and I will miss it there! Thank you!

I couldn't be happier with Sunshine Day Nurseries for my daughters first nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. It's clear how much effort they put into creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where the children feel happy and confident.

My daughter has come on so much since starting-socially, emotionally, and in her learning-and she genuinely looks forward to going each day. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and reassured.

I am so grateful to the whole team for the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing place for their child.

Thank you all so much!

Now that she has a younger brother, we have no hesitation in saying that he will certainly be attending Sunshine Day Nursery when the time comes.

Excellent nursery! I am very happy that I had my kids at Sunshine day nursery , first my son and second my twin girls they had a very good development they been so happy all days long. Thank you ,all the staff did a great job I really appreciate all of them.

My son has been coming to this nursery for a year now, and he really enjoys his time here. At first, he was quite upset and found it hard to settle, but the staff in Raindrops and Rainbows have been absolutely wonderful with both him and me. They took the time to understand what he likes, which made a huge difference in helping him feel comfortable and happy. Their kind and supportive words were also a great comfort to me during what was a pretty emotional time.

The nursery itself is fantastic; there's so much for the children to do each day, and it's always clean and well cared for. I truly feel the staff go above and beyond in everything they do, they are great at their jobs and clearly care deeply about each child's well-being and development. Over the past year, I've seen so much progress in my son, and I'm incredibly grateful to all the staff for looking after him so well and making his days here so enjoyable.

Thank you all so much for everything you do!

Their opening hours are also something that sets them apart from many other nurseries. We both work within the NHS, and so early starts and late finishes are common; the nurseries hours has made what can be a stressful part of child care, far less so.

My little boy will soon be 4 and has been attending this nursery since he was 1 years old, the fact that he wants to go to nursery says it all. All the staff are really friendly and nothing is too much. My little boy had to have an operation and they were brilliant at making adaptations to suit him for his return. I have no worries leaving him in their care
