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.

Sunrise is an incredible setting for any child. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the best outcome and experience for your little one no matter what the challenges or circumstances. The phrase "it takes a village" is not just words to this team- they live and breathe it. From my experience the team became and extended part of the family and I will be forever grateful for the support they provided me personally as a mum who was dealing with some challenging behaviors in my child. My only regret was that I was unable to get into the setting sooner as their waitlist was closed! - a testament to the incredible early years provision they have there. Because of their staff and the preparation they do with the children-the transition to reception for my little girl was seamless. Thank you sunrise (the whole team are amazing)
Wonderful nursery, my son started with them at 9 months old and is leaving as a confident 4 years old. We have been so impressed with the range of activities the children do, the warmth and consistency of the staff, and the excellent food!

Sunrise has been such an important part of our son's life. He joined when he was just 18 months old, and now, nearly five years old, we have watched him grow into a confident, happy and independent little boy.
From the very beginning, Sunrise felt like much more than a nursery. It became a second family for him, a place where he felt safe, loved and understood.
As a family with limited support around us and English as a second language, knowing that we could leave our child at Sunrise and feel completely confident that he was safe and cared for meant more to us than I can put into words.
We are incredibly grateful to every member of staff who has been part of his journey, from the Baby and Toddler rooms through to Upper Preschool. A special thank you to Shelly, who has taught both of my children so much and helped create beautiful memories that our son will carry with him.
Thank you, Sunrise,
Our girls absolutely love sunrise, we have created such amazing connections with the staff there who also go above and beyond to look after them. Our little girl starts school in September and we are sad to see her leave! Thank you to everyone that has looked after our girl she has had the best time

Terrific nursery with so many things going on and lots of time spent doing creative play and exploring nature. Food is high quality and both my children have thrived at Sunrise and love the staff and the facilities.

The care he has received and experience he has had has been outstanding- from the variety of activities on offer, to the thoughtful food menu, to the caring, warm and fun nature of the team, to the epic outdoor area (which can't be beaten!) I could go on and on. I honestly can't find anything I would change. He's had such a strong foundation built ready for school. Thank you team, you're all incredible!

The staff are great and the girls absolutely love going. They have supported my oldest so much and it shows now that she is ready for school and that is because of the staff members help. We couldn't of asked for a better nursery, some of the staff go above and beyond and they are amazing

My son has been attending Sunrise since Oct 2022 and it has truly been amazing since the start. It is such a hard thing to leave your baby in any childcare setting, but the Sunrise team do this in such a supportive, heartfelt and competent manner you know they are in the best of hands.
The grounds are amazing and it's a wonderful mix of child-led play, nature and routine. They are also great at supporting readiness for the transition to school, and building wonderful routines around food. Most importantly, the relationships parents and the children build are so deep and full of trust, well it's a hard place to leave when school time comes! The children leave with so many wonderful memories and even a scrapbook full of amazing crafts over the years.

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

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.
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.

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!

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.
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.

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!
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.

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.

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.
