Review from Kayleigh H (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I love this nursery. The staff are so happy and welcoming and my son adores them. He started off hating nursery but within two weeks he begs to go. He loves all the ladies there and he is happy to leave me and go play. Both my children have attended Sunshine Corner and my daughter has very fond memories of going to nursery. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child. I cannot compliment them enough.

Overall Experience

A very welcoming and beautifully clean nursery. My daughter fitted in very quickly with no fuss. I do like the app where I can see when my daughter logged in and out, updates on her learning. Very happy and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Amazing nursery! My son loves it. Brilliant communication between myself and staff. Safeguarding is outstanding! Couldn’t ask for anywhere better. I’m very impressed with the progress my son has made since being at Sunshine Corner.

Staff are extremely friendly and caring. They go above and beyond for all the children who attend. Both of my children go and absolutely love it. I know they feel and and safe there as they walk in with confidence.

Review from Max T (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We put our child into Sunshine Corner as it was the closest nursery to us. We've since moved, and it's half an hour out of our way, but he's still there. Why? Because no other nursery in the area has the quality of indoor and outdoor space, good opening times, feeds your kids and has great staff. There isn't a better pre-school in Kent.

Review from K G (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Sunshine Corner for the past year and a half, starting in the baby room and moving up into the toddler room. Our experience of Sunshine Corner has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly as regards the staff who really get to know the children and regularly go above and beyond to provide for the needs of each child. For example, our son's language development was delayed and the staff were committed to using baby sign language in order to enable him to communicate with staff and other children. Any queries or worries we have had have been addressed quickly and effectively and communication with parents generally is excellent. Most importantly, our son is always happy to be dropped off at nursery in the morning.

Reply from Clare Poole, Setting Manager at Sunshine Corner Nursery

Thank you K G, I am so pleased you feel the nursery addressed your son's needs effectively. It is so important to us that all parents/carers feel well supported. We strongly believe that early intervention is key in children's development in the prime areas. We see our service is not just to...
