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.

This is a really lovely nursery run by the manager and her team who always has the children and their families front of mind. It is a good sized nursery with excellent outdoor space, which they use virtually every day in most weather due to the outdoor classroom which our children love. The children feel very much at home there and the team is always making sure the rooms and the equipment work for the children currently in the class and updating when possible. The staff really care for the children providing lots of activities and themes, while supporting them in their individual interests. It is often challenging when both parents work but the manager really feels like a support and understands the chaos of working life. Both my children joined the nursery later (toddler / pre-school room) having to integrate into established groups, and they did so with no problem - I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery.
We have been very pleased with the nursery. Our daughter joined when she was 2 and has been supported in many facets of her development. Her key worker is fantastic, as well as the nursery manager who has created a wonderful environment and community. The outside area is also fabulous.

Wonderful nursery with fantastic outdoor space and staff that are both caring and nurturing. Both my girls had a fantastic experience there and have grown in to happy & confident little girls thanks mainly to the lovely staff and friendly environment.
Many thanks to the Manager & her team.

We moved from London to Berkhamsted and found Sunhill to be a very different kind of nursery to those we found in the city.
There is a very warm, family environment everywhere, from the decor to the employees to the children to the music playing when you walk in. The Manager and her staff have been fantastic and helped a ensured a potentially difficult transition for our daughter went incredibly smoothly.
The facilities are good, but improving all the time with refurbishments and modernisation to several rooms and the garden in the past few months. The garden is fantastic and the staff really make use of it, giving the children lots of outdoor play time with education about plants, gardening and all the associated social development of playing in a fun outdoor space.
Our daughter's key worker is superb - greets her everyday with a smile and a project to help ease any morning anxiety and has really aided her development and communication.
In sum, I never ever write online reviews, but Sunhill is helping my daughter and doing a fantastic job of it, so this is an exception! Well done to the Manager and team, I couldn't recommend you more.
