Both of my children have attended Sunshine and it's the staff that make it a brilliant setting. A home from home, the setting is relaxed and provides a warm environment for the children to be themselves whilst their parents are at work.

My child's key person/s and buddy provide a great environment for my son to develop and learn.
The app is lovely to view observations and allows me to be kept up to date throughout the day.
Both my girls go to this nursery and they come out so happy. The communication from them to us is perfect. I know all about their day and can message the room if I need to give them a non-urgent message.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that both your girls are happy and enjoying their time with us. We pride ourselves on strong communication, and it's great to know that it's working well for you.
The use of the app to keep us updated throughout the day is very helpful, being able to see what our child has been up to, as well as what they have eaten (or not).

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's fantastic to hear that you feel confident in the care and encouragement our team provides. We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad your child is thriving with us!
Couldn't be happier with this nursery, they have been wonderful. My daughter has been in three of the age group rooms now and in each one, the welcome, kindness and care from the staff has been second to none. She has always been so happy there. They are amazing!

We've been at Sunshine Nursery School since September and we couldn't recommend it enough! As first time parents, we were naturally nervous about leaving our son, but we shouldn't have worried. Sunshine Nursery are incredible. He has created a bond with all members of staff - he is happy, enjoys nursery and will walk in independently, waving goodbye. Sunshine has been incredibly accommodating to our needs and for that, we are so grateful. We love the nursery - they truly feel like a family and we are very lucky our son gets to grow, explore and develop under their expert care.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear that your son enjoys his time at our nursery and that you feel happy with our staff, meals, and communication. It's wonderful to know the app helps keep you connected to his day. We look forward to supporting him as he continues to grow with us!

The team go above and beyond, not only with the children but also in offering support and advice on things like potty training, which has been such a huge help. It's clear they truly care about the children and their development, and we're so grateful to have found such a fantastic nursery.
Thank you to everyone at Sunshine Nursery School for all that you do! We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a great place for the children.
Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear how much you love Sunshine Nursery School and that your children feel safe, happy, and supported. It means the world to us to be part of their journey!

My eldest child started attending Sunshine Nursery School 2 years ago at 6 months old. My youngest started in November just gone at 5 months old. I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else. They are so well cared for at Sunshine and they love it there. My eldest has thrived (and fully expect the same for my youngest). We've been to view the newly refurbished baby room today and it looks amazing. There is nothing negative I can say about the nursery, it's definitely been the best choice for my children.
Thank you for your lovely review! It means so much to us that you've trusted Sunshine Nursery School with both of your little ones. We're delighted to hear how much they love it here and that your eldest has thrived-we're sure your youngest will too! We're also glad you love the newly refurbished baby room. Your kind words and support truly mean the world to our team!

We love that our daughter settled so well into the baby room from 10 months old. She is our first child and I was very anxious to leave her and to go back to work. The daisy room staff have been amazing throughout the last year, our daughter is always happy to go in and has shown us that she loves the staff as she is always happy and smiling when she sees them. The staff have always been supportive and accommodating with any requests we have. It makes me feel reassured when I go to work that she is happy and well looked after. Our daughter is developing well and surprises us with new words and sings us songs we didn't realise she knew! We are very grateful for the care they provide. Thank you to all the staff and we look forward to our daughter going up to the next room very soon, I know she will enjoy it.

All the staff is friendly, invested and very communicative.
Especially our oldest who is off to school in September has enjoyed and benefited from the safe but more structured day in the year prior to transitioning to school. He has learned so much through playing and has built wonderful friendships. The thoughtful 'graduation day' was a wonderful way to close a very significant chapter in his life. Very much recommend this nursery and the kind, caring staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback. It's great to hear that your children have benefited from the care and education given at our nursery and we hope that your oldest son had a great time starting at school this month!
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. We recently moved from London and were extremely worried about resettling our 3 and 1-year-old with so many changes in such a short space of time.

I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. We recently moved from London and were extremely worried about resettling our 3 and 1-year-old with so many changes in such a short space of time. Since day 1 when I spoke to a member of staff on the phone the staff at the nursery have taken their time to speak to me about the well-being of my girls whilst in their care. The staff are fantastic, friendly and encouraging.

Anglia Sunshine is simply amazing, the staff care deeply, they go above and beyond for the children and the parents, and they have helped my son every step of the way through his journey through the nursery from Snowdrop to Poppy. They have great communication with the parents, they help to build children's confidence and independence along with helping them to develop their own amazing personalities. I am beyond grateful for everything Anglia Sunshine has done to help my son and everything they are now helping my youngest son too since he's started in the Snowdrop room! It's been amazing to see how much my boys have and continue to flourish. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single member of staff.

I love the fact you send updates on the learning portal. It's so important to me that I know and see they are enjoying themselves, especially as Daddy takes them in most days.
I feel like I trust you all with my twins, and that is so incredibly important.
So, thank you all in the snowdrop room.

This nursery and all staff have been incredible in my child’s development since joining in 2021. He is always excited about going, and it has truly been a blessing him joining the nursery, and seeing how much he has grown thanks to the incredible team. Really going to miss them when he leaves for school in September.
My son is very happy and excited every morning to go to nursery. Staff are very kind and professional, management are all very good! We are very happy and grateful with everyone who supported our son. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for all efforts. It's been a wonderful experience for my child. We would like to give you great feedback regarding eating habits, toilet training and playtime. He found it interesting. I would highly recommend Anglia Sunshine to anyone looking for a nursery.

I cannot praise Anglia Sunshine Nurseries enough. My little boy has attended for over a year now and loves every minute of his time there. The team deserve so much credit for their hard work and attentiveness. Every single one of them makes the effort to build a relationship with my son and it's a joy to watch him walk into nursery every day with a smile on his face. I will continue to recommend Anglia Sunshine to my friends/family members that need child care. Thank you so much.
My daughter (turned 2 in August) has been attending for a month now, and I have nothing but praise for this nursery! Offered excellent settle sessions before her full days started, and little one loves coming now! The staff are all wonderful, and I totally trust them to give my girl the best day....
My daughter (turned 2 in August) has been attending for a month now, and I have nothing but praise for this nursery! Offered excellent settle sessions before her full days started, and little one loves coming now! The staff are all wonderful, and I totally trust them to give my girl the best day. The app is great as I get to see pictures of what she's been up to. My daughter also has dietary needs, and these have been met with great care. I was so worried about going back to work, but I'm so happy now knowing she's at such a lovely nursery.
Thank you for the review. She's such a lovely little girl.
