My daughter started at Sunny Days Nursery in January 2025, and I highly recommend it. The staff are always available and the app keeps me informed about my child's progress. I love sharing photos to connect her at-home experiences with her learning. The nursery has been great with her dietary needs,
ensuring she feels included. I'm grateful for the care and attention provided by her key worker and the team, who offer thorough handovers and a warm welcome each morning. Thank you for all you do!

My daughter has been at sunny days since September 2024 she absolutely loves the nursery and is so comfortable with all the staff. She changed from one full day to three half days and the nursery manager was so accommodating when it came to making these changes. We definitely recommend and will be sending
our son here when he's old enough too :)

My daughter has been attending Sunny Days nursery for the past year nearly and since she has been at the nursery she has come on loads. All of the staff are lovely & are very approachable and friendly. They are supportive of the parents and they try to help where they can.

We had a wonderful experience with this nursery! The management is exceptional-always available to listen to our queries and provide solutions. I truly appreciated the courtesy calls, which kept us updated whenever necessary.
The staff were incredibly supportive in helping our little boy settle in
and even encouraged him to eat while at nursery, which meant a lot to us. I also loved the photo updates, as they gave me a glimpse into my son's day and reassured me that he was happy and engaged.
Although our time at the nursery was only around six months due to relocating, it has been a fantastic experience. We are grateful for the care, attention, and dedication shown to our son, and we highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

My child has been at this nursery for 2.5 and he absolutely loves it. His key worker is amazing with him and has helped him develop into the brightest young boy. We've looked at moving him to a school preschool, but there's no chance he'd get the attention he does at Sunny Days so he's staying as long
as he can.

All my four grandchildren have attended/still attend Sunny Days, they have thrived in the nursery setting of the caring staff who make every day different and fun for all the children. They can't wait to get in to see what has been set up for the day which is all done with learning in mind.
A particular

My Daughter has been attending Sunny Days since she was 9 months old. Turning 3 in September, she has now had over two years of wonderful care, guidance and nurturing from the staff. She always comes away with a smile at the end of the day, and tells me what fun she has had, or a new skill she's learned.
The communication from staff is excellent and as a parent, I feel totally confident in the capabilities of the staff while my daughter is in their care. It's like one big family unit and I highly recommend Sunny Days to anybody wanting to provide their child with a stable, warm and fulfilled environment.

Review from J S (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Lack of inclusivity. As parents with specific cultural values, we made a reasonable request for only female staff to handle intimate care for our daughter during nappy changes, while still welcoming male staff for all other tasks. Unfortunately, our request was met with resistance and concerns. We stressed
the importance of respecting and promoting inclusivity for all alongside our cultural values. Despite our efforts to find a middle ground, we were ultimately compelled to seek alternative childcare following an email from the nursery that felt dictatorial and non-negotiable. The abrupt transition to a new childcare provider will undoubtedly have a negative impact on our daughter's social development, particularly as she has been a part of the Sunny Days community since December 2023. Looking ahead, I sincerely hope that Sunny Days will take concrete and proactive measures to enhance inclusivity and respect for the diverse cultural values and preferences of the families they serve.

We have taken both our children to Sunny Days and they have both loved it there. The interaction with not only the children but parents is brilliant. After our first left for school we moved out of the area but after looking at other nurseries more locally for our second child decided to travel back
to Sunny Days each day. They were both extremely shy when they first started but watching the way they engaged with the staff there you could see them grow their confidence massively. I would highly recommend Sunny Days to anyone looking.

My child has been going to Sunny Days for three years. He started in the Tweenies room, moved up to Toddlers, he's now in the Preschool room and will soon be leaving to start primary school. In all his time at Sunny Days, he has had so much fun. The whole team are amazing, so kind and caring with the
children whilst helping them learn through play and fun activities. If you're looking for a nursery or preschool, I would highly recommend Sunny Days!

Our child has been attending Sunny Days since they were 11 months old. They established amazing bonds with the workers, especially their key workers. We felt rest assured that our child was happy and being well looked after. The staff are amazing, very personable and approachable. We would particularly
like to mention a staff member, if they could be replicated and come to our home that would be fantastic. The staff are our particular favourites also. Our child describes all four as their best teachers. Our child attends full-time and is always happy to go to nursery. The investment, encouragement and nurturing they have provided our child has been impeccable and will never be forgotten by all of us.

Started my daughter's settling sessions in Feb, and let's just say she just wasn't settling. It was such a stressful time as I was due back to work and needed to get her sorted and ready. The ladies at the nursery worked so well with me, with many hints, tips, and lots of reassurance that she would
just settle one day! Well.. it happened, and she loves it and on my first day picking her up she cried when we were leaving! How the table had turned. Every single person is absolutely lovely, and I'm so glad I chose this nursery. The app is great, can see her day and what she's been eating. So lovely to hear feedback about her day from everyone. Thank you so much, such a proud mum dropping her off and picking her up!

Both of my boys attend Sunny Days Nursery and I would highly recommend this nursery for your children! My two sons have built such a good relationship with all of the staff members in their rooms and are always happy to go into the nursery and play with their friends! It’s such a reassuring feeling
knowing that my kids are in safe hands once I leave them for their daily sessions. The activities sound exciting and look so much fun which I get to appreciate via daily updates on the app. The thing I love most is how no matter what the weather may be, my boys will still always be taken outside to continue having lots of fun.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.770 for Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 404 Ratings = 4.77
  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 Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 32 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 32 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.
