Our experience as parents to a daughter in Pre-Toddlers has exceeded all our expectations over her first six months in the setting. The communication from staff is outstanding, with an ability to directly message any member of the office or her key workers, always receiving a speedy reply. We receive ~60 photos of the group and a detailed update of their activities every day. The care for her wellbeing and development feels totally genuine, as well as for our family; we feel that the staff provided a stable and warm environment for our daughter during the turbulence of welcoming her twin siblings with some complications. We feel extremely lucky to have it as our local nursery.
Our son has loved this nursery since starting and when our eldest went here, she also had an amazing time.

Our son has loved this nursery since starting and when our eldest went here, she also had an amazing time. We have been especially confident in the nursery as a result of the care and love Louisa has for all of the children. She has gone above and beyond to look after our kids and all the kids in every classroom. She gives us the confidence in the nursery that all staff are held accountable, trained and the best safeguarding is in place. She is warm, personable and gives everything to this job.
We have been really happy with our experience at the nursery. The staff are warm, caring and genuinely invested in the children, and they have helped our son settle in so well. It is lovely to see the relationships he has built with his key workers, and he is always greeted with kindness.

We have been really happy with our experience at the nursery. The staff are warm, caring and genuinely invested in the children, and they have helped our son settle in so well. It is lovely to see the relationships he has built with his key workers, and he is always greeted with kindness.
The activities are varied, engaging and support his development across lots of different areas. We also appreciate the regular updates about his day, which give us reassurance that he is happy and thriving.
Both my sons are at MSDN Barnes, and we have now experienced all the rooms from baby through to pre-school, and could not be happier with the setting. The staff are so caring, and really get to know the children they are looking after. We've also had a lot of continuity of staff. The activities...
Both my sons are at MSDN Barnes, and we have now experienced all the rooms from baby through to pre-school, and could not be happier with the setting. The staff are so caring, and really get to know the children they are looking after. We've also had a lot of continuity of staff. The activities they organise are really creative and help the children learn and get involved. There's a good variety of external activities provided too, and it's great that the children get taken out on an outing every day. Communication with management is easy. They've created a lovely community.
My daughter has attended My Sunshine Day nursery in Barnes for the past 15 months since she turned 1. We feel very lucky to have such a lovely Nursery close to our home.

My daughter has attended My Sunshine Day nursery in Barnes for the past 15 months since she turned 1. We feel very lucky to have such a lovely Nursery close to our home. The staff genuinely care for the kids & treat them like their own. They support us as parents often whether it be sleep advice or how to teach our child something such as potty training. The daily activities they organise are well thought out & genuinely help our daughter develop. We also love that they take the kids out almost every day.
My daughter has a dairy allergy which they have been brilliant with & their communication through the app with parents is brilliant. They log throughout the day her food, nappy changes, sleep & outings as well as post a daily message saying what they did during the day with roughly 60 photos.
We wouldn't
hesitate to recommend my sunshine nursery to any parents.
We've had two children attend this nursery over the last six years. The nursery has such a warm, caring, and nurturing atmosphere, and the children's wellbeing always comes first. The staff really get to know each child and make sure they feel safe, happy, and confident.

We've had two children attend this nursery over the last six years. The nursery has such a warm, caring, and nurturing atmosphere, and the children's wellbeing always comes first. The staff really get to know each child and make sure they feel safe, happy, and confident.
One thing we've especially loved is the daily trips and outdoor activities. The children get lots of fresh air, exercise. There's always a great mix of activities that encourage creativity and learning. The nursery also brings in external providers to run extra classes and activities, which our children have really enjoyed. These have added even more variety and excitement to their nursery experience. Communication from both management and teachers has always been excellent and they've always been flexible and helpful. We'd recommend My Sunshine to other families.

My Sunshine Barnes has been a brilliant nursery and pre school experience for both our boys. They have thrived and developed so well under the care of all the staff who are always so warm and friendly. The kids love the activities they do whilst at My sunshine and they have a good range of external classes too such as French and Hartbeeps and Theatre Bugs. I would not hesitate to recommend My sunshine to anyone - we are just sad our Pre school journey is soon coming to an end and will miss everyone lots!
This is an exceptional nursery. My son has been there from 6 months - 4 years and to the very end ran inside every day when I dropped him off in the morning. The staff take genuine care to develop the child's education. We couldn't have been happier to have found this nursery and would have no...
This is an exceptional nursery. My son has been there from 6 months - 4 years and to the very end ran inside every day when I dropped him off in the morning. The staff take genuine care to develop the child's education. We couldn't have been happier to have found this nursery and would have no hesitation in recommending it. We looked around a number of nurseries and this was a cut above the rest.

Our 3.5yo son has been going to My Sunshine Barnes since September 2025 and he absolutely loves it. We feel so lucky to have found this nursery. Although it's on the more expensive end of the scale, we feel that the level of care and attention shown for him is exemplary. One of the best things about the nursery is that, though the children are in separate rooms depending on their stage of development, the rooms mix with each other on outings meaning that they have a variety of friends as well as no fear about moving to another room when the time comes which can otherwise be quite stressful. The staff are all brilliant and seem to genuinely care, making themselves available when necessary to discuss any concerns. They give daily updates and photos on activities. The pre-school room has a great balance of fun and learning, with a focus on independence, autonomy, and accountability. The food is varied and nutritious, and they get lots of fresh air everyday too. Highly recommend MSDSBarnes

My Sunshine Barnes is our local nursery. Our daughter has joined when she was 1 years old and has now been with the nursery for a 1.5years. My Sunshine feels like a big part of the local community and I love that many of my neighbours take their children there. The management team is always available to address any concerns and I have always had quick responses to any questions. The service element is definitely at a high standard and am confident in the care provided to my child. Very pleased to have chosen this nursery for our daughter.

We couldn't be happier with My Sunshine Day Nursery (Barnes). Across the past five years, our daughter and son have been expertly cared for by the whole team. The management and communication is excellent and we always know that the children will come out smiling after another fun day with their friends and key workers. The food provided by the chef is wonderful and varied and the teams take the children out for plenty of fresh air and exercise every day. Would highly recommend this nursery.
We have our second boy at this nursery. So pleased with everything they do. The staff teachers are fantastic, really care about each child and put so much thought & creativity to each subject they teach. Would definitely recommend them to family ' friends.

They are smart about using the space they have and always to ensure the kids spent time outside. A range of activities & structured days. They even have a chef!

As new parents, we chose 'My Sunshine' based on the glowing recommendations of our neighbours-and it was the best decision we could have made for our son. Since starting at one year old, he has thrived in what is truly a nurturing, loving, and intellectually engaging environment.
What sets this nursery apart is the genuine partnership. The teachers balance the needs of the child and the parents with exceptional focus. They didn't just 'watch' our son; they navigated the big milestones with us-from potty training to emotional regulation to dealing with a new sibling. Every room is well-structured, and communication is consistently proactive and two-way. We continue to love this nursery as our daughter goes there too. Highly recommend!

Our Daughter has now been at My Sunshine Barnes for 18months, she is extremely happy there. We really trust the team with her well being and development. The team are not only supportive to the child but the parents as well, always forthcoming with helpful, none judgemental advice when new milestones are approaching. We receive regular feedback on her development and daily updates on the fun she is having. We are very happy at My Sunshine.

My sunshine day nursery in Barnes have taken fantastic care of our son over the last 7 months or so. Initially I was very anxious about not having him at home with me but the team at MSDN made the transition as smooth and comforting for myself and my son as possible, with additional settling in where needed and excellent communication during settling in. We can see from the daily pictures the great range of activities our son gets involved in there and we have seen is development increase rapidly, from walking to talking. Whilst they don't a large amount of outdoor space, I can verify that they go outside every day which has been great for our outdoorsy son. They are so caring, as well as when we see them outside of nursery days. Thank you to the MSDN team!

Our experience at My Sunshine has been extremely positive. Our child looks forward to nursery each day, and has made some wonderful bonds with the friendly staff members and other children. The children go outside for fresh air every morning, and come back to a variety of excellent activities put on by the creative staff. We're kept closely updated throughout the day via the app and with staff at the end of the day. We couldn't recommend it more highly as a nursery!

My little Isabella absolutely loves nursery. She talks about it all the time and asks every evening if she's going back the next day - which says everything. Knowing she's so excited to be there and so well looked after gives me complete peace of mind.
We feel very lucky to be part of such a nurturing and supportive nursery community. I can't recommend Sunshine Nursery highly enough.

My sunshine nursery has been the most wonderful place for our little boy. The staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable and the huge range of activities keeps all the children busy and engaged. The staff work together with us as parents with any issues (potty training for example) and make sure we are all working together to ensure a consistent approach for our son. The staff are well looked after and there is very low turnover, showing how happy staff are to work there which comes across in how they care for our child. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough, we are so lucky to have them!

Our daughter has been attending My Sunshine for nearly two years now, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
The environment is bright, engaging, and always feels like a safe, warm space for the children to explore. But what truly sets this nursery apart is the staff. They are incredibly dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring. It's clear they know my daughter's personality inside out and celebrate her milestones just as much as we do.
She absolutely loves her time there and often runs in with a huge smile in the mornings. Seeing her grow in confidence and come home full of stories about her day gives us such peace of mind. I highly recommend My Sunshine to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating start for their child.
