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.

I absolutely love Sunshine Corner and would describe it as one of my son's happy places. I feel completely at peace leaving him in their care and am amazed at the progress he's made. His growing confidence in singing, improved social skills and expanding vocabulary are just incredible. Every time I drop him off, I feel reassured and welcomed by the staff and management, who truly make you feel at home. I feel so fortunate that my child has a place here. You can genuinely sense the staff's dedication and concern for your child's well-being and as a parent, that's the most important thing. It speaks volumes!
Thank you for your kind words, we are pleased you are happy with the service we provide for you all as a family and our passion shines through.

Such an incredible homely feel at Sunshine Corner. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble and my daughter has been incredibly happy. My daughter has struggled with leaving us (her parents) but her keyworker and in fact every member of staff go above and beyond to make her settle quickly and happy.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone who asks. 10/10 amazing!

I could not be happier that my daughter got a place at Sunshine Corner Nursery. She settled in so quickly and has grown such lovely relationships with both the adults and children alike. She is actively excited to go to nursery, which speaks for itself. Her speech, roleplay, counting, and signing have all improved so much, and overall I am pleased with the confident, fun little girl they are helping nurture her into.

Very caring and nurturing staff who know my granddaughters well. They make sure I have a full update of what they have been doing so that I can pass the information on to their parents. Such a lovely atmosphere in the setting. All the children are busy and thoroughly engaged in an array of interesting activities. I can’t praise the staff and management enough for their hard work and dedication.
Thank you for your kind words, your feedback really helps us to strive for excellence. I am glad you are happy and that we meet all of your granddaughters' needs, it is a pleasure to be a part of their early years experience.
I am very happy with how my son's transition to nursery is going. The staff are amazing and supportive. My son has taken a while to settle as he has spent three years at home with his mum, but the staff go above and beyond trying to find ways to help him settle. They also liaise with me regularly...
The nursery has also identified very quickly his learning needs/likes and caters to these so my son engages more in his learning.
Such an amazing nursery - definitely recommend.
Thank you for your kind words; I am pleased you are happy and that we meet all of your child's needs.
The room is clean, and there is always access to the outside area, which our child loves.
