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.

Our child has a great time at nursery. He learns lots and impresses us when he shows off his new skills.

I have nothing other than wonderful things to say about Sunhill. The staff go above and beyond any other nursery I have experienced, both my children loved going to Sunhill and have helped give them confidence and be truly happy and content with who they are, there is nothing more important to a mother than their childs happiness and I can say without hesitation that both my children were extremely happy. The staff are such a blessing to the school and help it feel like a family. Thank you.
My daughter has been at Sunhill since she was 11 months old. She is now three and we continue to be delighted with the care and compassion shown by all the staff. She is always happy to go, she has grown in confidence and she is always learning something new.

Sunhill has been first class and our daughter has blossomed in the time she has been cared for. We have a confident, well-rounded little girl, because of the care she has received at Sunhill. The staff are knowledgeable, approachable and flexible and we couldn't be happier we chose Sunhill.

Sunhill has been a wonderful setting for my daughter who has attended from November 2017. The staff are caring and supportive (from the top down) and while she has had a key person, all staff in her room know her well and can offer her the support she needs through the day. She is now heading off to school but I know Sunhill has helped give her the grounding she needs for this next stage. I can't recommend them enough.
From the management to the staff, Sunhill is an outstanding nursery and preschool. The children are cared for with warmth and enthusiasm. The management team are always extremley friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. A happy place, full of happy children.

They have also changed the flour they use for playtime as my son is intolerant to wheat.

Every person knows both our children's names, even if they are not usually in their room. It is such a loving and warm environment and we have always felt so happy and confident with...
