Located on the outskirts of Berkhamsted, the nursery is in the perfect setting; nestled amongst vast green space to optimise outdoor learning; and only 5 minutes from the A41 for busy parents travelling to and from the nursery. The setting follows a Montessori approach to education, which prioritises the growth and development of each child, in a supportive and engaging space designed for them to learn and thrive.
The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes; inspired by the Montessori approach, fostering meaningful connections between children and the world around them and helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
The large outdoor garden allows the children to move freely between the indoor and outdoor environments. Outside, the children are free to explore nature; making use of the bird hide and willow den as well as tending the vegetable plot and growing their own plants. The large covered outdoor classroom also allows children the opportunity to access the curriculum in a different environment.
Inside, the nursery is complete with 5 main age-appropriate rooms. Each room is carefully designed and equipped with resources to encourage age-appropriate learning and development.

A quick review and thank you to all of the team in the babies room at Sunhill (Stars) - our daughter moves up to the next room shortly. The room leader, Lucy, is excellent and we've always felt so confident leaving our daughter at nursery with her and the team. They really care and do so much to help all the children develop and learn new skills.

Extremely happy with the care and service provided by Sunhill. We have three children attending in different rooms and have consistently had fantastic experience, My twin started recently and the return to work was made easier by the car and support from the baby room. Every member of staff is genuinely invested in the development and well being of the children and communication, especially with the babies is excellent. Highly recommend Sunhill to any family looking for a safe and nurturig environment for their children. Thank you.

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.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your son is thriving in our nursery and has built such strong relationships with our caring team.

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.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your children have enjoyed their time at our nursery and that our staff have created such a warm and welcoming environment. It's our shared purpose to nurture creativity and growth in every child, and we're so glad to be part of your family's journey!
The main thing that makes this...
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!
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.

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!
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.

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.
We are delighted to read how much your daughter has enjoyed her journey through the different rooms and that she talks so fondly about her friends and time at nursery, and it is lovely to know you feel so confident ahead of your son starting with us. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery. Our daughter bounds in everyday and always has a big smile on her face. All staff are caring and helpful with a genuine passion for looking after little ones. Highly recommended.

We had a tough time with our little boy who constantly cried at his last nursery during drop off. Little effort was made to fix this issue, which meant we decided to move our son to Sunhill. I cannot praise them enough. The whole team - Jan, Lisa, Laura, Izzy, Emma, Sarah, Sue (sorry if I missed others out!) are amazing. They had a real plan - tactics, experience, ideas and most importantly, passion. They really care. And the whole team are so fun! Every time we pick our son up they're doing something, getting into mischief and he's now very happy - as are all the kids. The space is fabulous, outside and inside and they are amazing at entertaining the kids. We're allowed into the room so we get a real feel of what is going on which we never had before. From a personal perspective I am really aware that they are aware of your feelings as a parent and how difficult drop of can be. I can't recommend them enough. Best in town!

From the very beginning, this nursery has felt like an extension of our family. My second daughter, who is highly sensitive, started nursery in September 2025, and the care and understanding she receives continues to exceed all expectations.
The staff are incredible, with special mention to Lucy, Charlotte, Jan, Fatima and Anna, who consistently go above and beyond. When food allergies arose for my daughter, they adapted immediately, putting clear measures in place and taking all the stress off me as a parent. Their reassurance and proactive approach have been invaluable.
What truly sets this nursery apart is how deeply they care. Everything I share about my daughter is remembered and reflected in how they adapt her day to suit her individual needs. I trust them implicitly and know she is safe, understood and genuinely cared for. This nursery truly feels like extended family
We are delighted to read how well your daughter has settled and that you see how well cared for she is. Being held in such high regard as an extension of your family is truly wonderful, and we are so pleased to support each child and their family as individuals.

My daughter really enjoys her days at Sunhill, we always get a full run down of the day on pick up and the staff have been fantastic at getting her ready to move up rooms which she's now moved to seamlessly!
