Stowmarket Nursery and Pre-school are set across two sites, ensuring that they are able to give children a truly unique and special nursery experience. Children start their journey at Stowmarket Nursery. The nursery on Bury Street provides the children with their own unique space and carefully chosen resources to become confident and curious learners. The setting is perfectly sized so that children are in small groups and are able to develop at their own pace.
The nursery has two rooms and an inside garden where natural sounds are played, outside activities are planned and carried out. The children will often visit the Pre-school which is just a short walk away. This gives the children the opportunity to use the large outdoor garden as well as becoming familiar with the Pre-school environment and team.
When the children are ready, they will transition to the Pre-school setting, which is just a few minutes away. The preschool children have the benefit of having their own site in order to fully prepare them for ‘big’ school life. Having their own space allows the children to develop their personal, social and emotional skills required for future transitions. The children will already be familiar with the Pre-school setting from previous visits, ensuring a smooth transition for all.
The Pre-school has two large rooms which offer a wide variety of different learning opportunities and experiences. The outdoor play area consists of plenty of room for running and playing, a mud kitchen, loose part construction areas, water walls and a sand pit.
The nursery and pre-school offer exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
The nursery is located next to Union Street West car park, offering plenty of free parking and a 10/15 minute free drop off and pick up for parents. The Pre-school has a drop off area for parents outside the front of the train station (20 minute free parking bays).

My daughter is enjoying her sessions at Little Mice 2 during the past year and has made lots of friends. The outdoor space is a real bonus and she's come home telling me what she has learnt, most recently about space. The staff are friendly and very popular with the children.

This nursery has just been taken over by Sunhill Group and so far since the takeover my opinion of the actual care my child receives hasn't changed although quite a few staff have left. The only negative I have is regarding the menu which although is healthy and varied includes a few more out there meals ie fish curry and red lentil soup which my daughter dislikes so I now provide her with packed lunches as my daughter is more of a meat and veg girl.
The major bug bear I have is the invoicing and contact from head office which is making me doubt placing my second child in their sister nursery.

Dear Suzi, many thanks for your review. Sunhill Daycare has a policy of providing balanced, nutritious meals at all of our sites, some of which have previously won healthy eating awards. Please refer to our Parent Factsheets for support regarding introducing new foods, which can take up to 15 times for a child to become used to, alternatively we are also happy for you to provide a healthy packed meal.
With regarding to billing issues, this month is the first time that the invoicing function has been taken over by Sunhill. We have individually contacted all parents asking for support during the transition and are working hard to ensure any teething troubles are resolved as swiftly as possible. We are confident that problems raised will be significantly reduced in time for April invoicing. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have a specific invoice query.
