About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Excellent nursery with supportive, caring staff with excellent communication. Confidence and social skills are encouraged through the stimulating environment and engaging activities. I wouldn't want my son going anywhere else.

This is now my second child that has attended this nursery.
It's lovely to see how comfortable my child feels every day when I drop them off. All staff are incredibly nurturing and it's clear they foster positive relationships with all the children.
Communication is always very good and I love being able to see what they have done by reading the child's progress/learning journey updates.
The team is led very well and I feel lucky to be able to have a space for my child there. Thank you Sunshine Corner Nursery.

The nursery staff truly show how much they care about each child. They take the time to get to know your child as an individual, understanding their unique needs as well as building a strong relationship with you as a parent.
My child's speech has developed so well, and I strongly believe that's down to the support, encouragement, and attention they receive every day. It's so reassuring knowing they're in such a nurturing and supportive environment.
We've even moved house and still make the commute because my child loves this nursery so much, which really says it all.
Thank you for your kind words and being part of the Sunshine family. We are pleased you are happy with the service we provide.

We will be sad when she starts school as she has the best time here.
Thank you for your kind words, it has been a pleasure to watch both your children flourish in their early years journey.

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.

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 .
Thank you for such a beautiful review, it really means a lot and we love having you as part of our sunshine family
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.

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!

Thank you for your king words, it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of their early years watching them grow and thrive.
Best decision I ever made putting my child in this nursery. They are so patient with children. They also let them be as independent as they possibly can be. They help support you at nursery aswell as at home the best they possibly can

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!
Thank you so much for the lovely positive feed back it has been so rewarding watching her develop and grow.
A fantastic nursery that always goes above and beyond. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely committed to the children's well-being. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and creates such a positive environment. Highly recommend!
