Impact on children's learning
• Learning about how different cultures have different celebrations and celebrating Martisor, the beginning of Spring.
• Being creative and making their own stories for World Book Day.
• Building on fine motor skills, communication and language and developing imaginations.
The children are still extending their learning by learning how stories are written and have and have a children's author coming to visit.

All 3 of my children have attended Sunshine Corner and what an amazing nursery it is! All the staff are lovely and caring and have gone above and beyond for my children and their needs. They put the children first in every aspect. It truly has been a pleasure to send my children to this nursery.

Thank you for your lovely review; it has been an absolute pleasure to look after all 3 of your children and watch them grow.
My son has health difficulties which are rare. I never feel worried or anxious when I drop him off. They take such good care of him. They are supportive and engaging. I honestly could not recommend this nursery enough. The staff are worth their weight in gold!

Thank you so much; we are glad you feel reassured, we are always here to help in any way we can. It is always a pleasure to support you both.
Can’t believe it’s my children's last day. We are so grateful to everyone at Sunshine Corner. Thank you! For everything, one of the nursery workers, for her squishy breakfast hugs when my child was feeling grumpy in the mornings. All the staff, all of you and your happy warm smiles, for making the...
And of course the key workers, you made nursery such a fun and happy time for both children. They couldn’t wait to come to nursery every day to see you all and play. Keep shining Sunshine Corner because you light up our little one's day.

Both of my children attended Sunshine Corner three days a week until lockdown began. My eldest son is very shy and not great with new people, the staff at Sunshine Corner worked so hard with him to build relationships and his confidence grew no bounds. He went from a full break down when I tried to leave him in the morning to the occasional need for an extra cuddle. The staff showed great patience and a comprehensive understanding of him as an individual. They have without question been a vital part of the hilarious and confident person my little boy has grown into and I can’t thank them enough.
Thank you, Harriet. We will miss you son so much, we wish him well at big school.
I can't express how extremely supportive the staff are in the nursery. With all that's going on with Covid-19. They have gone above and beyond their duties as a nursery. They are here to support the whole family and not just the child attending nursery. I couldn't ask for a more fantastic team,...
I will always be grateful. Anyone looking for a nursery, this is the best one. I know because I travel to bring my child to Aylesham.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for such a lovely review I am very proud to have been a part of both of your children's nursery experience. We will miss you all so much, good luck at big school.
I would highly recommend this nursery to people I speak to.

The only niggle I have is with the price of lunches. I don’t mind at all paying for them, I just feel it is a bit expensive, but as he only has lunch twice a week I don’t mind paying it.
Sunshine Corner is an excellent nursery. All of the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and approachable. They always give me good advice on how best to help my son with his extra needs. They also work very hard with all the children and parents.

My first child started Sunshine Corner nursery six years ago and since then both of her siblings have also attended the nursery. It's lovely that so many members of staff are still working here, a familiar face is always nice. All my children settled well and have had really positive experiences at Sunshine Corner. The room is always bright and full of colour with the children's artwork or crafts, there is a huge range of ever-changing activities for the children. Both of the eldest children had a brilliant transition from nursery to primary school, with their key workers making sure their needs were met with things they needed to know before school. Staff were always helpful and efficient when it came to potty training and carrying on what we would be doing at home. The staff at Sunshine Corner have always got a smile on their face and are easy to approach with anything we need to share about our child. There is also a great level of communication between the nursery and parents.
I can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. All three of my children have attended and the standard has remained excellent throughout. The nursery is always clean, the staff have a low turnover and are always frozen and knowledgeable. The quality of the food is excellent. I love the app as it...
I can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. All three of my children have attended and the standard has remained excellent throughout. The nursery is always clean, the staff have a low turnover and are always frozen and knowledgeable. The quality of the food is excellent. I love the app as it means even when I’m at work, I can be kept up to date with what the kids are up to, whether they’ve had a nap and what and how much they’ve eaten. I’ve never worried about leaving my children there and cannot fault the nursery. Highly recommended.

Her comment was "I love my friends, I love the big girl who looks after me in the big room. It's my favourite playing in the garden, and I have my own peg. The grown-ups are nice, and l love them holding my hand."
She is very happy and settled, and I am confident that when she goes, she will be well looked after and will have a fun-filled day, which I hear about on the way home in the car.

As a preschool, they have helped each of my children in different ways, our eldest was extremely energetic and hard to control at times, with guidance we changed a few things and he was a different child. Our second child had speech issues, and again with the help from everyone at Sunshine Corner, his speech improved significantly.
All children are different and require different things, Sunshine Corner is able to cater to these needs with a smile on their faces. I couldn’t fault a single thing. They are always improving their play areas and outdoor space, my children love all the staff, they do an awesome job!
Always clean, safe and all children well looked after.
Management is very understanding and helpful.

My son has been going to Sunshine Corner Nursery for almost two months now, in the baby room and he loves it. He settled straight away and loves exploring and playing. There are so many different things for him to do. All the staff are so friendly and incredibly helpful. Very lucky to have this nursery on my doorstep.
Sunshine Corner Nursery is a wonderful place. My son has come on leaps and bounds and thoroughly enjoys his time there. I feel confident that he is safe and well looked after and that he’s also learning and having fun.

My daughter was extremely shy to the point I couldn’t even leave her with family. She is now like a different child. She is confident and will go and talk to anyone. She loves all the staff and is always so excited to go in the morning. The staff always let me know how she has been and has helped with any issues we have been having at home with advice. I cannot compliment this nursery enough!
They keep you up to date on how your child is progressing and settling in.

The ambience of the nursery is always clean and tidy, and I was impressed with when I first visited the nursery.
Since my son started the nursery he looks forward to going each day, even during the Christmas holidays he kept on asking everyday ‘Mummy are we going to nursery today’ I will say no it’s Christmas darling! That shows he settled in the nursery. My son’s speech has improved tremendously since he started; now he’s able to make sentences and also express his needs/ wants appropriately.
I just want to say a massive thank you to the manager and to his keyworker as well as all the nursery staff who have supported my son these past few months he’s been there.

The nursery accommodates for all children and is very good for times throughout the week. The staff are fantastic and care for each individual children needs, always treating them with dignity and respect. The food is lovely there, which my child thoroughly enjoys. They also do a lot of fundraising for the nursery, which I think is great.
My daughter has been going for a few months now and they have been fantastic with her extra needs. Couldn't fault them.
