Children can enjoy a spacious environment, with free flow access to the garden space and a plethora of resources and activities designed to promote development and engage children each day.

My son settled into nursery quickly when he was 12 months old and throughout his time there, the staff have been so supportive of his needs and ours as parents. He continues to really enjoy the outside space and has made good progress with all areas of his learning.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Very supportive nursery. Excellent keyworker who clearly cares for our son. Son very happy at the nursery. Sometimes inconsistencies with staff in the room. Not always introduced to new people in the room so don't know names of staff looking after son. Brilliant outside space- children outside as much
as possible which is excellent on has slight stammer and nursery been so supportive.

My son has been attending Sunhill Daycare Royston for 6 months and I only have positive things to say about all of facility, he was very cautious at first but has been made to feel welcome by all and now looks forward to his days there. Would not hesitate to recommend to any parent.

We are delighted with the care, genuine affection and focus on development our child receives at Sunhill. The team are all really engaging with the kids and small little efforts like homemade decorations for the room, birthday cards and care for his belongings are all appreciated. The range and quality
of the food is excellent and despite the activity of he day the room is pretty clean!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending the nursery for three months and she loves it. Some mornings we cannot get her undressed quick enough, she trots off to play with the coat half way off. I am very grateful to the staff for how well she has settled in and happy to be there on a full time basis. She is
still too small and cannot talk, but I'm sure one day she will tell only good things about her nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Sunhill Day Nursery Royston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.795 for Sunhill Day Nursery Royston is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.795
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunhill Day Nursery Royston is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 87 number of registered child places is 17.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
