Review from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends nursery and has been since August 2019 when she was 18 months old.
Returning to work was a difficult decision and choosing the perfect nursery for my child was imperitive to my decision.
From meeting the wonderful staff to having taster sessions and going on to my daughter starting
nursery, I have always been put at ease, being updated on a regular basis helped me with the transition too.
My daughter loves nursery and sometimes doesn't want to leave at home time.
I would highly recommend Sunnybank to care for your child/ren.

My daughter has been attending part-time for over a year and we have no doubt she is in safe hands when we leave her. The staff, especially one staff member, are so attentive to my daughter's needs and work towards our goals and my daughter's development. The nursery is homely and welcoming, nothing
is too much trouble for them. When viewing other nurseries in Chesterfield I personally found Sunnybank to be the best for our daughter and I have no regrets.

I fully recommend Sunnybank, the staff go above and beyond to accommodate your needs even at very short notice. They're very informative and keep you up to date with goings on. My child is always happy to go but not so keen to leave at home time, he loves being part of the Sunnybank family.

Sunnybank is a friendly, caring nursery where I sent my eldest son (now 5) and where my youngest son (2) still attends. The management are committed to the wellbeing and care of the children and also to ensuring that parents are happy with the service they provide. The staff all show a genuine care
and interest in the children and the environment they provide for them to learn and play. They are always trying to improve areas of play (inside and out), menus, activities and holding little events and dressing up days to support community charities and projects. I would recommend the nursery!

My son attended Sunnybank from 6 months old until he reached school age. He loved going to nursery every day due to the wonderful staff and exciting activities they provided.
My daughter now attends the same nursery and enjoys it every day. She is nurtured and challenged to do her best by all the
staff.
Sunnybank is a wonderful place for children to grow and reach their full potential with amazing staff who support them in doing so.

My little boy is 2 1/2 and he has been going to Sunnybank Nursery since he was 6 months old. He absolutely loves it, he is always excited to go to nursery to see what fun activities they have planned for that day, they have 100% helped him become the happy, confident little boy he is. Everyone is so
friendly and helpful. I would highly recommended to anyone looking for a nursery for your little ones.

I would highly recommend Sunnybank to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. Friendly, helpful and approachable staff. Really flexible regarding dates and times to book in due to my work patterns which is a Godsend! My little boy absolutely loves coming here, he's come on leaps and bounds and has
a brilliant relationship with the staff in his room. Wouldn't send him anywhere else.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loves nursery. We wanted her to go to Sunnybank as we liked the environment - a lot of other nurseries in the area are based in town centres with little opportunity for outdoor activities, which she loves. We especially liked the children growing their own food and interacting
with animals. The staff have all been brilliant in supporting and nurturing her.

Both of my boys go to Sunnybank, I started my 1st just after his 1st birthday and it gave him so much confidence and character. They are attentive and understanding and make your child feel special! My youngest goes to as they made such a good impression.

Sunnybank nursery is the best place I have ever found to take care of my son.
The staff are all lovely and highly professional.
It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere every time I drop my son off.
I always feel happy and confident leaving my son there, because I know he enjoys it and he is in safe
hands.
I would strongly recommend this nursery to my family and friends.

We love Sunnybank Nursey, since my little girl started in October/November, she has come on leaps and bounds. They really have helped her so much. She absolutely loves going and as soon as we mention nursey, she’s asking to go and runs in the door, everyone always notices how amazing her manors are
at the age of 2 and I thank nursey a lot for that. Since she has started, she can socialise so much better with children and she plays so nicely, they always try to play outside which my little girl loves. Couldn’t say a bad word about Sunnybank it really is wonderful all around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my granddaughters go to Sunnybank and the eldest has been there for two years they both love the nursery and the staff. They are always doing many activities and teaching them so much. The youngest came to live with us at the same time she started at Sunnybank, she was very withdrawn due to a
family situation but Sunnybank improved her communication and friendship skills beyond a mile in a short period of time. All the staff are great and my granddaughters know all the staff on first name terms, they are a really friendly bunch of girls who do really care far the kids, and that shows how the kids love them. I would recommend Sunnybank to anyone. If you're ever late picking them up like I do sometimes then there's no worries as they are so accommodating.
Reply from Kerry, Manager at Sunnybank Nursery
Thank you for such a lovely review and we are so pleased that your granddaughters have as much fun at Sunnybank as we do caring for them. They are a pleasure to look after.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for Sunnybank Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.967 for Sunnybank Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.967
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunnybank Nursery is based on 28 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
