The nursery is a safe space to leave our daughter, she has great relationships with staff and peers. We love all the activities she gets involved In throughout the day and love seeing updates. They have really supported us through potty training. We are happy with the variety of meals she is offered.
We are happy with the overall care we receive as a family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've had 3 children at Sunflowers and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. Leaving my eldest daughter with strangers was the hardest thing I've ever done, but the staff at Sunflowers made the experience easier than I thought it would be and made the best bonds with L, and reassured and comforted her
through initial upset. I couldn't fault anything, from the food and meals to the activities, but honestly, the staff became our friends and the relationship with all three of my children has been amazing! They love the time they spend at nursery, have developed skills and friendships with children and staff that they love, and as parents it is so important to know our children are taken such great care of throughout the early years, settling them up for when they start school so they can thrive there too! Would absolutely and whole heartedly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their children.

Our daughter has been attending Little Sunflowers since she was 9 months. It has been great seeing her grow up and learning so quick. Sunflowers is a brilliant nursery. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They are so professional, caring and the support is great. My daughter loves it here.
They follow the curriculum and it goes to show in my daughters attitude and speaking. The activities they do to develop the children is great. I love going to the parents day which shows how we get included.

I had recommendations of this nursery from various friends whose children still talk about their time there, years later. Our daughter has been at Little Sunflowers for two years and is absolutely thriving here.


She has a great relationship with many of the staff, frequently comes home talking about

her day and different interactions involving both staff & friends. She really enjoys the extra curricular activities, particular the coach led sessions with football and bat and ball. Most importantly she looks forward to going.


The staff are always friendly and welcoming, we know we made the right decision in choosing here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Sunflowers are caring, compassionate and have made real connections with my daughter (and my son who will still visit them on pick up, even though he is now at school). They've always been friendly and personable.
The range of activities - from role play, arts and dancing to writing,
counting and sports is brilliant and she loves spending her days with you.
We enjoy going through the artwork she brings home, pictures uploaded from the day and her 'best thing' of the day. She's equally keen to tell me to take pictures so she can show nursery!
She's confident and curious and we thank you for your ongoing support in her development and care.

I cannot recommend little sunflowers nursery enough! My daughter has been going there for over 3 years and she has grown and developed so much. The staff are so caring and I feel so happy knowing my daughter is being taken care of and she feels safe there. I have already registered for my son to join
in a few months as well. Every key person my daughter has had throughout the different stages have been amazing (as well as all the other staff in the rooms and management). I am not sure who is going to miss the nursery more our daughter or me and my husband.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Sunflower Day Nursery for four wonderful years and is now moving on to Reception. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and support he received from day one. He's built beautiful relationships with his key workers and friends, and the nurturing environment has helped him
grow into a confident, happy child.
Our daughter also joined recently and has already settled in well and enjoys every day. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child's development.
Sunflower has been a second home for our children, and we can't thank the team enough for the amazing start they've given them.

Little Sunflowers has been a part of my life for the past 8 yrs with my eldest & now youngest attending. I'm so grateful for the amazing team - they are what make it so special!
From the front office to the key workers in every room - they all make you feel so reassured, and knowing that your child
is in the safest and most caring hands means so much (especially on those days filled with 'mum guilt'). It's clear how much effort they all put into making every day fun, nurturing and special for the children just by seeing how happy my little one is at the end of the day!
The way the team communicate with parents is second to none too - always professional, thoughtful, and attentive. It's the little details, the warm welcomes, and the genuine care that really show how much they go above and beyond.
I feel so lucky that my children have had the chance to learn & grow in such a special environment with such a lovely team around them - I would highly recommend Little Sunflowers to all!

There has never been any issues, but I know if there were issues they will be dealt with professionally

Little Sunflowers is an amazing Nursery. I can't sing their praises highly enough! My son has suspected autism, is non verbal & has special educational needs. The level of care & attention that has been given to him is faultless. The staff are so attentive, kind & genuinely care & my son is so happy
there. Little Sunflowers do so many different activities with the children through out the day, provide excellent food, & the staff are always happy, bubbly & give excellent communication on how my son has been during the day. My son has thrived since being at Little Sunflowers & I'm honestly dreading the day when he has to leave. I know 100% that he's happy, safe & well cared for.
We're currently preparing to apply for an EHCP for my son & as parents, the support we've been given by Little Sunflowers is amazing. The staff are so approachable with any questions we may have & so giving of their time, we couldn't proceed without their help! As a family, we love Little Sunflowers Nursery!

We have used Sunflowers Nursery for 3 years and we are extremely happy with the care, support and quality of the service. Our son loves going to the nursery and we have seen him flourish over the years. He is a SEN child and the nursery went above and beyond to support him. This was not only noticed
by us but also health professionals involved in our case. This nursery sees each child as in individual and really cares about the journey for the child and the family as a whole.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.625) out of 10 for Little Sunflowers Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.911 for Little Sunflowers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.911
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Sunflowers Nursery is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 105 number of registered child places is 21. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.714
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
