Review from Courtney B (Mother of Child) published on 8 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our 13-month-old started nursery in January, and we had quite a turbulent start as he'd never really been away from me and struggled to settle.
The team completely changed that experience. They were so patient and understanding, allowing as many settling-in sessions as we needed and letting me stay until he felt secure. What felt overwhelming at the time was made so much easier by their support.
Now he absolutely loves nursery and is really thriving - coming home clapping, playing peekaboo and developing so quickly.
We've also been really impressed with the food. He eats so well, and the menu has great variety with balanced, nutritious meals.

The staff are all lovely, and the daily updates are so reassuring. I feel completely comfortable leaving him there, knowing he is safe, happy and very well cared for.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Sunny Days for a year now, and it has been consistently brilliant during this time. The staff are so friendly, are caring and attentive to the children, and really know the needs of each individual child. Communication between staff about my son's needs has been brilliant, and communication with us parents is brilliant, I'm always well informed what he has been up to via in person chats, daily updates on the app, and regular parents evenings/ Welcomm assessments. The staff all have a high level of professionalism, and the nursery is clean, well managed, efficiently run and very organised. Safeguarding procedures are followed religiously. The activities provided are varied and staff are creative coming up with themed play and different activities each day, including outside play. My son's happiness is evident, he gets excited every morning on entering the car park, he adores his key workers, and has a big smile on his face when I collect him each day. Brilliant

My daughter has been at Sunny Days for 7 months and we couldn't wish for better caregivers to look after her each day.
The way the nursery keep you informed of their day and activities they get up to is really good and it's nice to see an insight into your child when they are away from you.

All the staff are super friendly and make an effort to get to know your child as an individual with their own character traits and personalities

Overall Experience

We have been at Partou Sunny Days since September 2025 with one of our children and the other two started January 2026 and we can't thank the staff here enough for everything they do for our children. Sending our children to nursery was a huge thing for us as we struggle trusting others with our kids that aren't immediate family but we couldn't have been more reassured by the team, we are confident when we drop the kids off that they are safe and their wellbeing is priority. All the kids are thriving and having the best time whilst learning new skills. The team have supported us with potty training and weaning and all the kids look forward to their nursery days. The team are so friendly and make such an effort to get to know parents and children that they do feel like family. We really like the fact they take the kids outside to play in all weathers and adapt activities to centre around experiences the kids have outside nursery too.

Reply from John Nielsen, Manager at Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for trusting us with your little ones - hearing they feel safe, supported and excited for nursery days means a lot. Handing over care is a big step, and we’re so glad you feel reassured. It’s great to hear all three are thriving, learning new skills and enjoying activities linked to their interests. We can’t wait to share more adventures, come rain or shine!

Lovely nursery with the best staff. My son was a little nervous and clingy when starting at the nursery and the staff were amazing with him and me!! Made us all feel at ease and he's now settled lovely. The activities are amazing, lots of fun things to do with lots of interaction. The food is always varied and my son seems to love everything put in front of him! He has come on a lot since starting this nursery so we are very grateful for all their hard work! Thanks Sunny Days xx

Reply from John Nielsen, Home Manager at Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to hear that both you and your son felt supported during those first days - settling in gently at each child’s pace is so important to us. We’re delighted he’s now happily exploring activities and enjoying the varied meals, and it’s wonderful...

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 :)

Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Manager at Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school

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 member of staff and all the team are very approachable and welcome you every single day.

Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Leah H, Family Care Team at Partou Sunny Days Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your review and for sharing your concerns. We're sorry you felt our response to your request wasn't appropriate and, following conversations and meetings, we weren't able to agree a way forward. At Partou, we want to create a community where everyone feels at home and proud to belong,...

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.
