Review from Deb W (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so thrilled with the nursery and all that they offer to our children. The staff are fantastic - very caring and give a great little summary of all the children have done at the end of their session.
Very useful to see the updates on eyLog too so you feel like you haven’t missed out on anything.

The staff provided a fully adapted settling in programme that was very much appreciated and eased anxieties on both sides.

Review from Adele W (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Anglia Sunshine Nurseries is an extension of the family. The carers are so dedicated to the children’s needs and the children love them like they are family. My child opens up to them and talks about them all the time at home. Always happy and excited for another day and he’s been there since he was 8 months old. You would think he would tire. I get continually updated during the week via Eylog and can see what he has been up to. His social skills and understanding of the world have definitely been a joint effort between myself and Anglia Sunshine Nurseries. We will be very sad when he goes on to ‘big’ school. (We will most likely utilise the after school facilities).

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

This is such fantastic feedback to here, thank you. We are all dreading the day he goes off to big school as he will be greatly missed by all the practitioners and his friends.

Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves Anglia Sunshine Nurseries. I honestly couldn’t express how amazing the staff are here, always helpful and friendly. My son loves going, he has grown from the babies into toddler group and progressed so much in just a few weeks. The fact he runs in without even a goodbye says it all.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

Thank you, this positive feedback is very much appreciated. We love having his cheeky little face here with us brightening up our day.

Overall Experience
I have 2 and a half-year-old twins and decided to move nurseries to Anglia Sunshine at the end of lockdown after having some concerns with our existing one. This nursery was highly recommended by a work colleague. It’s the best decision we made! I was initially impressed with the manager who was friendly, approachable, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. On meeting the room staff I felt sure this was the place for our girls.

They have settled quickly and light up at drop off on seeing the staff which speaks volumes. The staff are nothing short of amazing and communication is excellent, the nursery has a live system and staff add update photos and captions of what our girls are up to throughout the day and how this links into the childcare standards they work to. (Very welcome and pleasant to see throughout your working day). We are able to send the girls and be confident whilst at work that they are safe, happy and have all their needs met. Thank you to all the staff!

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

This is amazing to hear, thank you very much for the positivity. We have enjoyed settling the girls in with us and can't wait to watch them build their different characters.

The first and only nursery my little boy has been to, and it’s been the best! My son loves going and is so excited when we arrive! He runs into the nursery and doesn’t come and say goodbye because he loves it so much! The staff are so lovely and very welcoming! Always welcomed with a smile and so happy! Would highly recommend.

Thank you, this is lovely to hear. We are always very happy to see his fantastic little smile.

My little girl loves going to nursery, every time she goes she comes out at the end of the day happy and smiling. The girls that work there are lovely and made me feel at ease when she first joined and continue to do so. Could not recommend this nursery more.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

Thank you, this is lovely to hear. You both make it very easy for us to support you with your kind and laid back nature. We look forward to watching as she grows and develops further.

Overall Experience

Anglia Sunshine nursery is a wonderful, friendly environment to send my daughter. The staff are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. They are flexible and adaptable to our child’s needs. It has a real family feel to which we feel included in. My daughter absolutely loves it and her well being, care and safety is their top priority. The safety measure put in place are brilliant, making drop off and collection quick, easy and safe without being daunting. Could not recommend it enough!

Review from Becky P (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Anglian Sunshine for nearly two years now and we've not looked back. From the moment we were shown-round we knew this was the one (first nursery we had looked round) the staff were so lovely, helpful and caring. They took time out to introduce themselves and were just so professional. Our daughter soon settled in and we felt so at ease with leaving her knowing she was going to be so well looked after. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending and we can't thank everyone enough.

Highly recommend to everyone through and through.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

I remember the day you came to tour the nursery very well. It was Children In Need Day, and we were all dressed up with our faces painted, what a first impression. We have loved watching this beautiful girl grow from the baby she was into the little lady she is today. We are full of intrigue to watch her further her development as she enters her next step to become ready for life at school.

Review from Craig M (Father of Child) published on 22 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here for a long time now and she absolutely loves it, she always looks forward to nursery every time! At the start, she was quite clingy and didn’t want to leave me, but the staff were so good with her now it’s a struggle to get a goodbye. And her development whilst going here has gone beyond that of her age. I really can’t rate this nursery what it deserves for their outstanding hard work and achievements; always with a smile. Thank you to the whole team!

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

We are all enjoying watching her grow into the beautiful young lady she is and cant wait to spend the coming year preparing her for her journey to school.

Review from Kiely P (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started here at age one full time and has never looked back. She has had amazing key workers that have settled her and shaped her on every step of her journey here. They even settle emotional mummies down as we hand our precious ones over. The daily feedback and Eyelog information make you feel a part of your child’s day. She has made some wonderful friends here and you see the team encouraging each child’s personalities, helping to cement some great behaviours with plenty of learning fun. As she takes the next step into school life, I know she will really miss everyone at Sunshine Nurseries. I can’t thank this team enough for all they have done with her.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

Thank you Kiely for all of these kind words. Your daughter is definitely missed now that she has gone off on her adventure to big school. She has touched the heart of every member of the staff during the time that she has been with us and we are all looking forward to seeing her during the holidays for her to tell us all about her time at school.

Review from Iona R (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so impressed with this nursery. I had looked at several nurseries in the area but none compare to the level of care Anglia Sunshine has to offer. All the staff are very welcoming, polite and understanding to not only the parents but much more importantly, the children. It is abundantly clear that the children are their first priority which is priceless and how it should be. It is also a very secure nursery which, coupled with the very high level of care, brings complete peace of mind when your child is there. I am very happy, it is a beautiful nursery.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

We are very glad that we have met with all of your expectations. We really do pride ourselves on the level of care our staff provide and it is heartwarming when this is identified. Thank you.

Review from Stephanie (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been going to Anglia Sunshine Nurseries since he was one. He has always had kind-hearted, friendly, caring nursery teachers that have always made him feel special. They were very supportive when he was upset with drop-offs and called me to reassure when he had settled. Now four years on I have a confident, sociable little man who wouldn't be where he is today without the care he has received.
He has had some amazing key workers who have spent time to get to know him and his interests, creating activities for him to engage with around these areas to build his skills.

We are sorry to be leaving in September and will be using the holiday club due to the excellent quality of care they have shown.

Reply from Felicity Rose, Nursery Manager at Sunshine Nursery School

Stephanie, it has been an absolute pleasure to have your son here with us at Anglia Sunshine Nurseries. We have all enjoyed watching him grow into such an amazing young man who is most definitely ready for his new adventure at school and we are all looking forward to seeing him in the holidays and hearing all about his time.
