Review from Ciara H (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our Daughter attended Sunrise from December 2021 until July 2025. She has absolutely thrived and enjoyed everyday.

We chose Sunrise as it had such a lovely feel, and we loved the outdoor space.

All the staff are so thoughtful, caring and friendly. We as a family were very sad for her last day, but with the support and guidance from all at Sunrise, she is more than ready for School.

We are delighted that our little boy will be attending next year.

Review from Laura P (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sunrise has been such a positive experience for both us as parents and my son who has been attending since 2022. Sunrise has very rustic and homely facilities, the children make mess, they play in nature and there is an element of being free and wild which we very much loved. They have a great food ethic with lots of variety in meals, and instil table manners and routine really well. The outside space and outdoor play is second to none, and such effort is made with interactive activities and games, with song, dance and exercise.

We have been very happy with our experience, and will be sad to say goodbye when he leaves to attend school next month.

My little one is now in the final room, getting ready to start Reception. Watching him grow, learn, and blossom here has been such a wonderful experience. The team is warm, caring, and truly passionate about what they do. I'm so grateful for the love and support they give every day. Highly recommended!

Review from Sarah H (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sunrise has been a fabulous nursery for both our children. All the staff have been excellent at every stage, and I've never worried about leaving my children in their care. The range of activities that the children get to do is also amazing - yoga, football, interactive storytelling, visits from animal centres - and the outdoor space that they can enjoy at each level is really special.

Review from Kerrie B (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child joined Sunrise due to her previous nursery being unable to manage an allergy.
All the staff at Sunrise were incredibly supportive in explaining how they manage allergies and dietary requirements right through to the settle sessions.

My child settled quickly and absolutely has grown to love the nursery and staff. The extensive gardens give children lots of room to play, grow and learn. The extra curricular activities like yoga and story telling are fab.

Overall Experience
Sunrise Nursery has gone above and beyond for my son, and I couldn't be more grateful. The staff are truly amazing - warm, caring, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to understand his needs and helped him grow in confidence, independence, and learning.

Thanks to their dedication and encouragement, my son is now more than ready to take the next step into school. I can't thank the team enough for the love and effort they've put into helping him be the best he can be. Sunrise Nursery is a special place, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent!

Review from Kat B (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We cannot recommend Sunrise enough. All three of our children have been through Sunrise, and they have been a huge part of our lives for almost a decade. The different rooms within the nursery are welcoming and safe, and the staff are consistent in the room they support, allowing the children to form great bonds directly. The space inside and out is just fantastic, the quality of home-cooked food makes me jealous, and the range of activities carried out at all ages means the children are constantly having fun being educated. The full Sunrise team are approachable and helpful, and you can really see the passion in everything they do.

Overall Experience

Sunrise Nursery is extremely accommodating and welcoming. When we had a childcare crisis on one of the days my son is meant to be cared for by my mum, they allowed him to be in the nursery. This was extremely helpful, knowing he was somewhere he loves.

Review from Sophie P (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It is such a wonderful nursery, and we absolutely love it! When visiting a lot of different options, we were rather underwhelmed with nurseries locally until arriving at Sunrise. The children have an incredible amount of space, both indoors and outdoors, tailored to their age and needs. The staff are so warm and nurturing to the children, and the management is also fantastic. Our little one cannot wait to go there in the morning, and we love seeing her happy face at both pick-ups and drop-offs!

Review from Jessica L (Mother of Child) published on 26 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Sunrise to other families! The staff are wonderful and work so hard to provide a large array of activities and experiences for the children. They have managed to create a very homely environment and genuinely care about the children, and want them to have a great time. The outdoor areas are full of things for the children to explore, and the older rooms have bikes and scooters available, which my son has loved. Sunrise has also hugely helped with my fussy eater, and he has tried so many new foods with his friends, from cottage pie to lentil dhal and fish pie. Things I couldn't dream of getting him to eat at home! Through challenging times such as Covid and heat waves, the Sunrise family have been very professional and always works hard to keep the children safe and happy. We also enjoy the app updates and appreciate how much information we get at pick-up. A very special place.

Review from Kate L (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter loves coming to Sunrise Nursery. It feels safe and secure. The staff in the baby room nurtured her and supported her when the time came for me to return to work. The baby toddler room has been great to progress her development, and the transition was managed very well. The staff really understand the children and their different needs, likes and dislikes and encourage them to be little explorers. Communication between staff and parents is exceptional.
