His speech also improved a lot, and he started talking much more confidently in a short time. This was a big milestone for us.
All the teachers have been incredibly supportive, kind, and caring. They always greet us with a warm and positive smile, which made Luke feel safe and happy every day. We really appreciated the daily updates at pick-up, as well as the photos and activity updates shared on the app, which helped us stay connected to his day at the nursery.
Sunshine Day Nursery is a lovely, nurturing place for children, and we are very grateful for everything the team has done for Luke.
The only reason we are leaving is to align with our older child's school drop-off and pick-up timings.
I would like to thank the team at Sunshine for providing excellent care during the time my son's attended. From joining at 10 months old - 3 years I have felt full confidence in the team. My son has spent time in Raindrops 2 and the Rainbows room. I feel all staff members in each room and within the nursery are welcoming and friendly and kept me well informed on picks up of how he was during the day. Contact was provided where needed and updated posts on the app. I would definitely recommend Sunshine and know my son and I will miss it there! Thank you!
I couldn't be happier with Sunshine Day Nurseries for my daughters first nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. It's clear how much effort they put into creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where the children feel happy and confident.
My daughter has come on so much since starting-socially, emotionally, and in her learning-and she genuinely looks forward to going each day. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and reassured.
I am so grateful to the whole team for the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing place for their child.
Thank you all so much!
Her time at the nursery played a significant role in her development. We noticed remarkable improvements in her communication and confidence, and her transition to reception has been smooth. We've received excellent feedback from her new school about her progress, which we strongly believe is credited to the strong foundation Sunshine Day Nursery provided.
Now that she has a younger brother, we have no hesitation in saying that he will certainly be attending Sunshine Day Nursery when the time comes.
Excellent nursery! I am very happy that I had my kids at Sunshine day nursery , first my son and second my twin girls they had a very good development they been so happy all days long. Thank you ,all the staff did a great job I really appreciate all of them.
My son has been coming to this nursery for a year now, and he really enjoys his time here. At first, he was quite upset and found it hard to settle, but the staff in Raindrops and Rainbows have been absolutely wonderful with both him and me. They took the time to understand what he likes, which made a huge difference in helping him feel comfortable and happy. Their kind and supportive words were also a great comfort to me during what was a pretty emotional time.
The nursery itself is fantastic; there's so much for the children to do each day, and it's always clean and well cared for. I truly feel the staff go above and beyond in everything they do, they are great at their jobs and clearly care deeply about each child's well-being and development. Over the past year, I've seen so much progress in my son, and I'm incredibly grateful to all the staff for looking after him so well and making his days here so enjoyable.
Thank you all so much for everything you do!
Our first daughter started when she was less than 12months old in 2019, and even throughout the COVID years the nursery was brilliant.
Now, our eldest daughter is weeks away from leaving before starting school, and the experience she's had, has been as equally positive.
The staff are fantastic, and will keep you informed without been bombarded with needless, constant information.
Both of our daughters have both felt confident and ready for school when the time arrived, and the Sunshine Day Nursery has been a catalyst in this.
Their opening hours are also something that sets them apart from many other nurseries. We both work within the NHS, and so early starts and late finishes are common; the nurseries hours has made what can be a stressful part of child care, far less so.
My little boy will soon be 4 and has been attending this nursery since he was 1 years old, the fact that he wants to go to nursery says it all. All the staff are really friendly and nothing is too much. My little boy had to have an operation and they were brilliant at making adaptations to suit him for his return. I have no worries leaving him in their care
Great nursery and environment for little ones. My daughter has been going since she was 11 months old. She has come on leeps and bounds with her confidence as well as her learning. I only hope she loves school as much when she starts in September.
My daughter has had a wonderful time at sunshine day nursery. She has attended since she was 1 year old and I know will really miss all the friends she has made there. The staff have been lovely in each room she's been in and she's always had a named worker that she has bonded with really well. The management are always very responsive to any queries I have. They take really good care of the kids, we will miss coming to sunshine day nursery.
We've had a wonderful experience with my Sunshine Day nursery in NGH! The teachers are incredibly dedicated and have taken such great care of my little one. It's heartwarming to see how much she enjoys going to school every day-she's always excited and especially loves the food! The office staff are also fantastic-always helpful and quick to respond to any queries or concerns. I'm sure my daughter will dearly miss all her teachers in PS1, especially one, who has made a lasting impression. We're so grateful for the care and attention she's received here!
Everything was perfect in all 4 years any problem we had the nursery was help with everithing. They help my son to develop and to grow up nice, they help to be confident in hem self and to talk. The teachers very good.
Our daughter settled in quickly, thanks to the caring team who clearly love what they do. The communication has been excellent. We get regular updates, photos, and detailed feedback about our child's day, which is so appreciated.
The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, with a great balance of educational activities, outdoor play, and creative time. We've noticed real growth in our child's social skills, confidence, and curiosity since starting here.
Most importantly, our daughter is always excited to go in the morning and comes home happy and full of stories of what she has done. We couldn't ask for more and highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a safe and supportive environment.
My little girl has attended Sunshine Day Nursery from the age of 1 until she will be leaving for school this summer. It's convenient for work and I absolutely can't recommend it enough! The first day she came home was the day she started to run across the room and from that first milestone so many more have been reached. She's totally flourished at the nursery made lasting friendships and her bond with the staff is so lovely to watch particularly her keyworker in pre school they have had a lovely bond which as a working parent is such a relief to know they are happy and safe while im not around. I know when she leaves in august tears will be shed because we both love Sunshine day Nursery it will remain a special memory for all the family and she would not be the confident little girl she is today without it!
We have only had good experiences with this nursery. Brilliant staff who care about the children they look after. Our daughter loves going and we know she is being well cared for while we work. Would highly recommend
My daughter has been going to this nursery for two years now and will be leaving for school in September- she's had the best time and has come on leaps and bounds since she started. Her communication and socialization have improved so much, the staff are so kind and caring and committed.
Our daughter has been at the nursery from 9 months through to 2 1/2 years having had a great experience. All staff made her welcome and settled her in well, also settling us in as parents. Very calm and caring atmosphere as well as encouraging and fostering development in confidence, communication and motor skills. This goes for both rooms we've experienced (Raindrops and Rainbows) but the support shown by Raindrops as a baby room was second to none.
The staff are friendly and caring and I've always felt 100% confident leaving my daughter there. The staff always give detailed updates and I enjoy seeing what my daughter is doing via the photos on the app. She is always doing fun activities and the staff make great efforts with events such as the Christmas party!
I have also found this nursery great value for money and the staff go to great lengths to accommodate working parents who may need to swap days etc.
My daughter has learned so much here! I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough and I know that my daughter's last day will be an emotional one for us both!
The hours are also brilliant for a working parent, and from booking to paying and funding forms, the staff make everything really easy.
Would recommend Sunshine Day Nursery as a fun, caring and vibrant place.
The staff take great care with my youngest's dietary requirements, ensuring there are options available for him, I have always had great confidence that they are taking care of his needs at all times. I am also so grateful for the support with my eldest son whose lack of confidence often impinged on his development, since being in Preschool 1, he has come on leaps and bounds - he is now more than ready to start school in September, although he will be sad to say bye to the lovely staff and all the friends he has made.
I would definitely recommend this amazing nursery!
