My son recently moved to comets. After a tricky time with lots of change, I cannot speak highly enough of each staff member in the room. He is incredibly settled and happy and looks forward to nursery every day. He really has come on leaps and bounds with his skills and I entirely credit the team for that. As a parent, I am incredibly grateful to not just comet's staff but the Berkhamsted management team for their kindness and support towards me, their advice is invaluable.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that your son has settled in well and made such great progress; it means the world to us. Transitions can be challenging, and we are pleased that the team has been able to support both you and your son during this time. We're here for you every step of the way, and we're so grateful to be part of your son's journey!
We are thoroughly impressed with the care Sunhill provides for our children. The staff truly seem passionate about what they do, forming genuine connections with the children. This makes drop-offs so much easier. Leaving your children is never easy, but knowing they're in safe hands and thriving gives us great peace of mind. I honestly can't fault Sunhill and would recommend to all.
Thank you so much for recommending our nursery. We're so pleased to hear that you feel confident and supported in leaving your children with us. It's always our goal to create a nurturing environment where both children and parents feel secure. Building strong, genuine connections with each child is at the heart of what we do.
As a mother coming off maternity leave with my first baby I was really nervous about my daughter being cared for by someone else. Not only has she been cared for, she is thriving.
I would highly recommend Sunhill to other parents.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your daughter is thriving and that you've felt supported throughout the transition. It's truly wonderful to know you've had such a positive experience with us, and we appreciate your recommendation.
Sunhill has made a huge difference in our child's life to get her started on the way to big nursery. Staff team are warm very informative.
Very happy with all care received compassion and empathy.
It's wonderful to read about the positive impact our nursery has had on your daughter's learning journey. Our team is truly dedicated to providing a caring and supportive environment, so it means a lot to know you've felt this. We're so pleased that you've found the team helpful and accommodating....
My son has been to a few nursery before but this is one of the best nursery I have found in the borough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to read how well your son has settled and enjoys his time with us.
Both my daughters have loved attending Sunhill Nursery. Never NO problem (no tears!) at drop offs which is always a good sign! They are always offered varied foods, play outside in the fresh air and taught lots of different skills. I highly recommend Sunhill Nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation. We are really proud of our provision and the space that we have to play and learn.
My son has been attending Sunhill since January the team in the baby room are fantastic and supportive to myself and my son he has been reaching milestone so quickly and always seems like he has a great day ! I can not thank the team enough! For everything they do, they work so hard ! And I look forward to seeing my son flourish within the setting.
We are so pleased that you are seeing the benefits of nursery education. We look forward to continuing to support you and your son during his time with us.
Very pleased with all aspects e.g. care, communication, facilities, friendliness of staff. Only improvement would be the surface of the car park and exploring what could rights the nursery have as tenant to ensure this is improved.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted to read that you're pleased with our care, communication, facilities, and the friendliness of our staff. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the car park surface. We will pass this feedback on to look at ways to improve it.
From the moment you enter the door you can tell how dedicated everyone is to your child. Our son has the best time at nursery and we see how much each and every person genuinely cares and tries their best! You can tell that time with the children always comes first. We love all the little updates we get on the app (especially the photos of him having fun!)
Thank you for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to read that your son is having such a great time with us and that you enjoy the updates and photos - it's wonderful to see how much fun your little one is having!
The staff in Sunbeams have been nothing but brilliant. My daughter is thriving and seems to really enjoy the variety of activities and learning opportunities. The staff always follow instructions and adapt accordingly to my daughter's needs. For example, we have recently shortened her nap, and it is comforting to know that this is mirrored at nursery as well. My daughter's key person was instrumental in settling in my daughter and we both think highly of her.
I am happy with the variety of healthy meals offered and I love that the children get to be involved with making their snacks and desserts.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to be part of your 'village' and to provide the support and care that means so much to you and your daughter. It's wonderful to hear she's thriving and enjoying her time with us.
Our daughter has flourished in the five months she has been in Stars. The kindness, dedication and hard work the staff put into her are causing her to excel at milestones, encouraging her personality and showing her kindness. I honestly am so pleased with choosing for her to attend Sunhill. We are so grateful for all the staff.
We are so pleased to read how your daughter is settling in and achieving her milestones under the care of our team! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
What can I say, Sunhill has been so amazing for our daughter, who has been attending for the last 18 months. The staff are incredible, so kind and caring and really do look after our daughter hand and foot - she's a very happy toddler at Sunhill. The food and facilities are fantastic as well. They are also very sensible when it comes to things other nurseries can be a bit silly about like managing sicknesses and unplanned late pick-ups (eg when the trains are a mess for commuting parents like us), which is much appreciated!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We always try our best to accommodate each family so parents can continue their careers, knowing that their little ones are safe and cared for.
I cannot put into words just how amazing this nursery is, they have been so supportive and accommodating from the moment we had our first booking in session.
She is our first child and hadn't ever been left prior to starting nursery at 11 months. Sunhill allowed a gradual start to full days over a 1 month period which helped my baby settle in and form the close bonds she has with the staff in the baby room.
My baby has formed a lovely bond with her key worker and many other staff, you can tell how much all of the staff love the babies who attend the nursery. This is honestly the best thing, you are leaving your child with people who genuinely love and care for them.
The staff go out of their way to learn the individual needs of every child and she has been so supported in every aspect. I look forward to continuing our nursery journey with Sunhill and we really feel part of the nursery family.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. The whole team understands how parents can feel apprehensive about leaving their children in the care of others and work tirelessly to reassure both parent and little one during a steady transition period and beyond.
Can't rate this nursery highly enough. Our child was here from 10 months old all the way to 3 years old. He has flourished and that is all thanks to the blueprints the nursery has laid down. Great communication and always worked with us for the best of our child. The staff here are great, they really do make the little ones feel special. Not a bad word to say!
Thank you for recommending our nursery! We take great pride in seeing children develop in our care and preparing them for school.
I cannot praise Sunhill Nursery enough. We have two boys aged two and four who have been attending Sunhill for over a year. The littlest is absolutely thriving in Sunbeams, he runs in every day and is welcomed with such energy and love it's wonderful to see. There is no end to what the nursery will do to support these children, from yoga to squeezing their own orange juice! They really are full of energy and so much fun! Our eldest is in Planets, the preschool room, they take on his energy with such enthusiasm and he is both nurtured and prepared for his transition to school. He has come home so many times learning sign language or telling me of his rides in tractors. They are both so happy there, it's a warm and welcoming environment and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to families.
Thank you for recommending our nursery! We are delighted to read how your sons are enjoying our setting and preparing for their next step in education with our school readiness programme.
A warm, friendly, loving nursery! This was the impression we had of this nursery when we first looked around 6 years ago and ultimately what made us choose Sunhill over other local nurseries (along with the amazing outside play areas!). Just yesterday, I dropped off my youngest and he arrived at two members of staff full of smiles for him, engaging him in chit-chat (they know him so well), helping to reassure him and ease the transition from leaving me. This is something I have always appreciated and admired about the staff- whatever the time of day, whatever they are in the middle of, whatever the room (from the baby room to the preschool room), the staff always give the warmest welcome to the children and cuddles if needed! I am very happy to say that our impression of the nursery on that day looking around is exactly what this nursery is: A place where the staff really know and value each child, helping them to flourish and develop in confidence, ready for school.
Thank you so much for sharing your long-time experience of our nursery. Our dedicated teams aim to make the transition from parent to nursery easy for both, and we are pleased to have your family as part of ours.
Our son has had a fantastic experience at Sunhill over the past 3 years. It always feels safe, caring and a place where he can learn and have fun. The staff have been amazing throughout his time there.
We are so pleased to read that your son has had a wonderful early years experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We have our second child now at the nursery and settling in beautifully to the Baby Room. We had a wonderful experience with our first child at the nursery and he has been there for over three years, loving every second. Our second has loved her settling in time - we really could not have asked for more. Her key workers have been exceptional. They have made the transition so easy and I felt like they were on the journey with me and my daughter instead of just going through the motions. It's a massive thing to trust people with your children and you really feel like all of the staff at Sunhill get that and are always going above and beyond, despite working in what I can imagine is an extremely demanding sector. The manager is absolutely all over everything, is knowledgeable and warm and the children love her.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Our team understands that enrolling your child in a nursery is an important decision, so we are pleased to read how they have made you feel at ease during your daughter's transition.
My daughter attends Sunhill in Berkhamsted. She is my first child so I was a bit nervous about the transition back to work and starting nursery. From the start, the nursery had a ‘family’ feel from management to the members of team in her room. Nothing was too much trouble, they devised an onboarding plan to suit us with regular touchpoints to keep me updated. She has been there now three months, her development has been excellent and the care she has received has been outstanding. I enjoy the end-of-day catch-ups with the team in the room, filling me in with what they have been up to. My daughter is happy and confident. I can’t thank them enough!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Jill. We endeavour to put parents at ease so they can return to work knowing their little ones are nurtured and cared for and we are delighted you have been happy with the transition.
My daughter has attended the nursery for two and half years now and is happier than ever. The staff are so attentive to her needs and she talks about them at home all the time. We have a great relationship with the manager who always gives us time for a catch-up. I cannot praise this nursery enough for the support and care they have given our family.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that you and your daughter are happy!
