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 9 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.

The Sunshine Pre-school is amazing. They are always going above and beyond to create new and exciting ways to help children learn and develop. They are such a wonderful and caring group that have supported and helped us as a family through so many things. Wouldn’t send my children anywhere else. I’m so glad these wonderful women are able to give my children such an incredible start to their school journeys. Thank you so much, guys.

Such a warm and lovely place, from home to home very well lead and all staff members are so friendly, nothing is too much they always go above and beyond. They help teach individuals to be their own person and independent, so nice to see them teach BSL. So many activities they do with the children so much to do and hands on for the little minds to grow.

After looking around at settings I thought my poor child was going to end up spending all her time with me for entertainment. Then I received a call from the manager saying that a space had become available. I was very apprehensive after seeing many settings and being convinced I would never be able to trust anyone with my little girl. From the moment I walked through the door, Sunshine felt different, I felt at ease. The team were all so amazing and welcoming. I felt like I had known them for ages. The whole team have been amazing from day one. My many texts asking if she’s ok and 100 questions are never too much trouble and I feel completely reassured that my daughter is in amazingly safe hands. They are all amazing and all the children are so lucky to have such wonderful role models who genuinely care. The communication is fantastic and my little girl comes out bouncing every time telling me how much of a lovely time she has had and what more could I want for her. Thank you so much!

The Sunshine Pre-school is a lovely place for little ones. My child loved it from the first visit and then she started making new friends. She loves all their activities, she started enjoying food more and she would go out every day even in the rain. They have always been very helpful and understanding and we have no worries at all about our little girl as we know she is very well looked after and develops lots of new skills every day surrounded by her friends.

My daughter has been attending The Sunshine nursery now for about a year. In this year, she has thrived so much in various areas. The staff team are amazing, always smiling and she adores them! They could not do anymore for us as a family. I am actually a bit gutted she will be starting school in September, however, she will join her older sister in the holiday clubs, just so she can return and see all the staff!
I would 10000000% recommend Sunshine to anyone!
↩Reply from Andrea Smale, Manager at The Sunshine Pre-school
Many thanks, Jade, for your lovely comments. We look forward to welcoming both girls to our holiday club.

My daughter has not long started. She loves it. There is never an issue with dropping her off she walks in happily herself. The staff are lovely and friendly and happy to help with any concerns I may have. I wish my daughter had started there sooner.

After moving from the Midlands in January finding the right Pre-school for our daughter was one of our first priorities. After visiting Sunshine we just knew it was the perfect place for our daughter to go. They made our whole family feel welcome. In the short 3 months that our daughter has been there, she has come on leaps and bounds. All of the staff are wonderful and go above and beyond and make each day that amazing that our daughter can not wait to go back the next day to learn more and create new and wonderful memories. We couldn't have wished for a better Pre-school for our daughter to go to.

If you're looking for somewhere with that extra special something, you’ll surely find it here! We’ve used other places for our older children and I don’t think any of them beat what Sunshine has to offer. If you don’t believe me, take a look and meet the staff! Seriously we literally have to coax our little one to leave every day!
