Myself and the team are so pleased that you feel this way. As a small nursery, we pride ourselves on knowing every child really well and love to hear that your child flourished at Sunshine! Thank you so much.

Sunshine is a lovely little nursery where all the staff are always so friendly and warm. My boy had a really lovely relationship with all the staff members and we’ll be so sad to leave. I always got good updates on the app and from the staff and my son was always happy on pickup. I’d absolutely recommend this nursery for the staff, but also if you'd like a smaller, more intimate setting.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is so important to us and we are super proud to hear how much your son has enjoyed his time at Sunshine. Thank you for your lovely recommendation, we hope you pop back in and see us soon!

Sunshine Nursery isn't just a nursery, its a home from home where your children learn, grow and develop, setting strong foundations for life. Both of my girls have been to the nursery and absolutely loved it. The manager is the 'bricks and mortar' of the nursery, ensuring every child's needs are met whether big or small. She is supportive in every way possible and runs a wonderful team of people who have the same values. The wonderful cook provides healthy and nutritional meals for the children which encouraged both of my girls to try new things and gave them a love for all food. After 7 years I am extremely sad to say goodbye. Thank you for helping me raise my girls so beautifully, I will be forever grateful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us, we really appreciate it. The girls have been a total joy to look after and have brought so much fun and laughter to Sunshine! I am so proud to know you have felt supported by myself and the team and we want you to know that your support also means so much to us too, Sunshine is a family and we value every one of you.
Sunshine is a lovely nursery with lovely, caring staff! From the moment I walked in and met the manager, I knew that it was the right setting for my children and that they would be supported and cared for. It made going back to work so much easier knowing that my children would be looked after so...
I love hearing about all the exciting things the children have done each day!
We are sadly finishing our Sunshine journey this month after 6 years and two boys as my youngest starts school. We will be very sad to leave and will miss the staff!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. It's been an absolute pleasure looking after both of your boys and getting to know you all as a family, we will miss seeing you all each week but are so proud to hear that you have had such a wonderful experience at Sunshine!
Sunshine Pre-School and Day Nursery is a lovely and happy place for children to be. Staff are always friendly, smiling and ready to look after a child. My daughter is always clean every time I pick her up. I'm pleased with their delicate work over there.

Many thanks for your review, we are so pleased to hear your daughter is happy here at Sunshine!
My son has been going to Sunshine Nursery for two weeks now, and he is absolutely loving it. All staff are amazing and really suit all the children’s needs. I know he is well looked after when attending nursery, and he absolutely loves going!

Thank you so much for your review; your little one has settled in so well and has many years of fun ahead at Sunshine!
Sadly saying goodbye to the Sunshine team after eight years and two children. They have been professional, personal and extremely attentive to my children's needs. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Sunshine team, for the love and care you have provided to my children.

We are so pleased to hear you had a great experience at Sunshine. Thank you for your review.
Excellent team - everyone is very professional, very patient to deal with the child's problems, and will take the special needs of the child seriously. Where children develop unexpected abilities through play. All in all, a great place for kids

I cannot speak highly enough of the manager and her team of staff at ‘Sunshine’. Never was a nursery more aptly named! Our daughter has just finished there ready to start school today. When we made enquiries during our initial research of nurseries, ‘Sunshine’ really stood out as being a small and friendly nursery. Our daughter has some additional needs, and we felt that a smaller nursery would be better for her, and ‘Sunshine’ has a real cosy, family feel to it. This certainly does not come at the expense of professionalism, however. The children are well supported developmentally and emotionally. Our daughter looked forward to attending and always came home full of chatter about all the exciting and stimulating activities she had been involved with throughout the day. It is worth adding that the staff coped particularly well with the restrictions of the pandemic, and as a parent, I still felt supported, even when it was not possible to enter the building.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send in a review. I am so happy that you feel this way about Sunshine; the team and I are extremely proud to read and have this response published. Thank you.
I honestly couldn't think of a better place (a family) to take care of and be a pivotal influence in my son's early learning experience.

I honestly couldn't think of a better place (a family) to take care of and be a pivotal influence in my son's early learning experience. He has been with the Sunshine family for two years finishing now before going into his next adventure of Year R at Infant School. He has made many friends there and is always excited to go to Sunshine in the mornings to see his friends and all the staff there who embrace every child in their own individuality, showing love, friendship and guidance. I have found the specific individual feedback on learning is excellent, and the hands-on mutual team involvement in my son's Speech Therapy (Sunshine liaising directly with the necessary third party's) and also that crucial potty training was exceptionally reassuring, which resulted in swift success. I am explaining to my son he won't be going back to Sunshine after the end of next week so he can move on to his new adventure, however, we will both shed a tear for leaving our extended family.
Thank you so much; we are so pleased to hear how happy you and your child have been with Sunshine. We will miss you all lots when he goes to big school, but feel he is more than ready for his next adventure!

My daughter started at the peak of the pandemic which was a difficult time for everyone, but the manager and staff gave reassurance where needed.
Since being at Sunshine my daughter is more confident and grown into her own personality.
Staff are professional and caring, taking time to give each parent feedback about their child after each session.
They also use an app, which is a great tool for communication between staff and parents.
I would recommend Sunshine Nursery to anyone.
We are so pleased to know you are happy with our care and support, and to hear that you feel welcome by the team from the warmth they show is excellent! Many thanks.
Sunshine is the perfect setting for a nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring towards the children, and the children love them! The activities are always interesting and creative, as well as educational. My child has often surprised me with what he has learnt at nursery, i.e. a new song he...
We feel so lucky to be part of Sunshine, and it's like having an extended family!
Many thanks. We are really proud to hear that you are so happy with the care we provide and that your little one is learning so much, all whilst having a great time!
Excellent nursery! My daughter was almost running every morning to go and spend a lovely time with everyone there. Good service, communication, and they treat every child with love and respect. She learnt so much, and it was a relief to have her there while I carry on working full time during the...
Thanks, Sunshine!

Both of my children have attended this nursery, my youngest will be leaving to start school in September. They both loved it there and loved all of the staff there. The staff were so friendly, and the children learned so much in preparation for school; they are faultless. The activities they do with the children are wonderful; they have a fun-filled day each time they attend there. The children also love the homemade food that is made there. We will be so sad to say goodbye to Sunshine nursery. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for my children.
Thank you for your lovely review; it has been a real pleasure getting to know your family, and both your girls are just fabulous!
