Review from Camilla A (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our kids go to Sunshine Corner and we couldn't be happier. They both absolutely love going! The staff are incredible, they're all so kind and we know they genuinely care about our children. They do so many activities with the kids and they spend lots of time outside. Both our kids have food allergies and they have really good policies and procedures in place to accommodate which has been so important to us.

Review from Jane B (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sunshine Corner is such a friendly and welcoming community where my granddaughter feels safe and happy. The staff ( or 'friends') really knows the children and are flexible and inclusive in their planning for each day. It's reassuring to be able to see the daily routine on the app and both my grandchildren have enjoyed the tasty meals and snacks served up from the kitchen.

It's been a wonderful experience and a very special place for their early years.

Overall Experience

Both of my sons attended this nursery, my youngest is still in toddler group and I couldn't be happier with the experience we've had. The staff are truly amazing! So caring, kind, and genuinely dedicated to the children. It's such a lovely environment where kids feel safe, supported, and happy. I've always felt confident leaving my children in their care, knowing they are in such good hands. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Overall Experience
Wonderful nursery - I would not want my children going any where else.
Sunshine corner nursery have been helping raise my children for 24 years now . They help shape them , build their confidence and genuinely care about each child .
The parent app they use is informative and easy to use. The app allows me to view balance , read updates , report sickness , sign paperwork and read achievement reports , view daily nutrition and toileting about my child .
I can not fault the staff , they are always so friendly and approachable . My children love them - they feel safe at Sunshine corner and that is down to the continued hard work and love for their job- from all their staff.

Thank you ladies .

Staff is supporting, changing their curriculum after children's interests. Large outside play area and lots of activities every day!

My children ( 4 years girl and 16months boy) cannot wait to go to nursery, they feel loved and very well looked after. I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my kids.

Overall Experience

Very very helpful and friendly staff. Very good with my son and always receive feedback form his daily activities. They always encourage and take extra time out to help him settle upon his arrival in the mornings and feed him if he won't eat at home before we leave, which is very comforting.

Sunshine Corner Nursery and their wonderful team are simply AMAZING!
We looked around several nurseries before our son was born and we immediately knew that this was the right place for us, and since our son started there it has continued to exceed our expectations!

The team are just incredible, they are all so caring and supportive. It's like a little extended family!

Overall Experience
My son absolutely adores all of the staff and they love him. I feel completely comfortable leaving him there as I know he is well looked after and enjoys all the activities. He has learnt so much and his development is coming on leaps and bounds.
Everyone is so friendly and it really is home from home.

My son went to another nursery first of all as we couldn't get a space here for over 2 years but I am so pleased that when a space finally came up we moved him. It was certainly worth the wait!

Overall Experience

Definitely the best nursery in the area. The staff are very friendly and have good relationships with the children that attend. My daughter absolutely loves going into nursery and doesn't stop talking about everything they get up to. The nursery allow the children to be as independent as they want within reason, which as a family we love. Will be sending my other daughter here as we love it so much.

Reply from Sally Heathcote, Assistant Manager at Sunshine Corner Nursery

Thank you for your king words, we are pleased you are happy with how we support the children's development. We look forward to our continued partnership.

Review from Ellissa B (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my child has started at sunshine corner I have seen amazing changes. He is so much more confident and overcoming many obstacles. The staff at sunshine corner have been amazing! They welcomed my son with patience, understanding, and genuine care allowing him to thrive at his own pace. They took the time to learn his communication style, his sensory needs, and what makes him feel safe and supported. Every morning when he is dropped off I can very clearly see how much joy the staff bring to him and same for him to the staff. With his additional needs and this being his first setting alone without me, it was very nerve wrecking for me however. Staff are very good at reassuring me with pictures and messages throughout the day. It has also been lovely to see how much they thrive to ensure his interests are explored. I cannot thank this nursery enough for the love, structure, and positivity they bring into my child's life.

Reply from Sally Heathcote, Assistant Manager at Sunshine Corner Nursery

Thank you for your beautiful review, it is a pleasure to be apart of his early years journey and we are pleased you are happy with how we teach and care for him whilst he is with us.

Review from Tonje H (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were so hesitant about putting our daughter in nursery after a failed attempt at a different nursery earlier where she wouldn't settle. But oh my gosh, Sunshine Corner proved to be the perfect fit for our little girl. In the 2 months she's been there, she has developed so many new skills, she absolutely loves going and keeps asking to go even on the weekends. The staff is lovely, they update us throughout the day with what they are up to, and I feel no hesitations at all with recommending them. Their outdoor space is large and full of fun activities, they do sensory play and messy play every day, and they clearly sing a lot of nursery rhymes as my daughter has learned quite a few new ones since she started. Very happy!

My son attended Sunshine nursery from the age of 1 year. He was very well cared for and progressed very well into a caring and polite little boy. His knowledge and vocabulary has improved well and a lot is due to the experiences he has had at Sunshine nursery.

Thank you all very much for the progression with my son's development and learning, would highly recommend Sunshine nursery to any other parents.
