The staff are so lovely and take such good care of the children. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They have managed my children's allergies so well.
My children have had the opportunity to make new friends; many of whom my older child then went to school with. It has been lovely for them to form these bonds before school.
Everyone is always friendly and so happy to help.
The perfect environment for my little one to learn, grow and develop.
He will be sad to say bye come summer.
My son attended Sunbeams for nearly 3-years, and his confidence has grown so much thanks to all the staff. He comes home every day telling us of all the different activities he has done. It took my son a while to settle into each of the rooms, and the staff settled him and were really patient with him. I can't thank them enough. It's such a friendly nursery
Staff are absolutely fantastic with my little girl; she loves everything about the nursery. She was very shy when starting last year, and we have seen a massive difference in her confidence. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.
He is now 4, and in his final months at Sunbeams. His development, over the years, has been amazing. He's a very social, happy and confident boy, and always talks about his carers at home. The whole team, throughout the setting, have been absolutely fantastic, engaging and enthusiastic from his very first day, and I know I absolutely made the right choice for him. I would highly recommend Sunbeams to any parent.
My son joined Sunbeams last year at just over 2-years-old. He settled in pretty much straight away; he wasn't really talking, and this has greatly improved since he started. He enjoys his days and very enthusiastic when he's been; he knows his carers and feels comfortable with them. It's a fantastic nursery, and would definitely recommend it.
Both of my children have attended this nursery, and they have both loved their time there. All the staff across all the rooms are really friendly and always make the time to give you a full update of the day no matter how busy it gets. The staff are really attentive and help address any issues you have. One of my children had a speech delay, and the staff were really supportive in helping him develop with that, and by the time he started reception, he was so much more confident with his talking. The nursery is always doing different things to engage the children, and mine have always loved going and often talk about the staff at home. I will be really sad this summer when my youngest leaves to start reception in September.
My little girl started attending Sunbeams in the summer of 2020 soon after she turned one and I was quite nervous having her out of my care for the first time, especially during these strange pandemic times! Her carers and all the staff have been amazing from the very first day and so reassuring. They took detailed notes before she started about her needs/how things are done at home, and they have continued to be receptive and communicative about her development ever since; they have also never begrudged a phone call from me when I have had a wobble that she's okay! My little one is now approaching two and talks happily about the activities she has done that day, she knows her primary carers by name, she's always got a full tummy, and I know she is building healthy and positive relationships.
I would highly recommend Sunbeams Day Nursery. My daughter attends Austhorpe, Leeds and has done since she was 12 months (she is now 32 months old), and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all lovely and spend lots of time doing activities with the children. They regularly update the parent app so you can see what your child has done through the day and what they have eaten etc, which gives reassurance. They have been great throughout Covid and have kept us informed and have a good process in place.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Sunbeams, she always has a skip in her step on her way there in the morning and always has a smile on her face when we pick her up at the end of the day. She talks about her carers a lot and obviously has a good bond with them. Throughout the last 12-months, Sunbeams have been fantastic dealing with everything that has been thrown at them. Really pleased they have been there to help support our daughter through these testing times. Thank you!
Our daughter has recently started at Sunbeams, and the staff have been so welcoming and accommodating to her needs as she hasn’t mixed with any other people than those within our bubble. Having been born just before the pandemic, our daughter is quite nervous around meeting other people she doesn’t know, however, staff have spent time and having a designated worker at the nursery is allowing her to create a bond and feel safe. We would definitely recommend Sunbeams to other parents looking for care for their child. We are very happy and confident that our daughter will begin to learn of a world with many people in and new experiences creating friendships with peers.
Everything about Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) comes highly recommended. The facility, staff and location which is a beautiful outlook onto fields! Absolutely lovely place for parents to feel reassured their little ones are cared for in a most safe and secure way and most importantly a happy atmosphere for them to grow and learn. My eldest went here and without a doubt I wanted my youngest to go as well. She loves going and always comes home happy and the staff are great at updating me on how she is developing and what they’ve been up to on a daily basis. For a parent trusting someone to look after your precious children can be very stressful and difficult but I can reassure you that Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) have been brilliant for my family.
My daughter has been attending Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) since October 2019 and I’ve not only not had any issues the staff have been outstanding every step of the way. They keep me up to date with all successes and are always really attentive when I explain any changes. Recently I started potty training my little one and when I rang to see what they do to be consistent they gave me loads of tips and said they’d do whatever I did. So far not a single accident at nursery and they didn’t mind me ringing to check in. I love the nursery so much I recommended it to my sister and friend who’s children come to this or another branch of Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My daughter had come on leaps and bounds since starting here and is such a happy confident little person and I will genuinely be sad to when she has to leave.
All of the staff at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) are so friendly and enthusiastic, my daughter loves it and I will be sad to say goodbye in the summer when she graduates to start in reception. I would like to thank everyone as they all welcome us and have dealt with the Covid-19 situation brilliantly.
Both my boys have gone from nine months old. They were great with my breastfeeding baby and listed to all my wishes with feeding him. Always felt listened to if I had any concerns. The staff are all lovely and friendly. My four year old loves going, seeing his friends and all the activities they do. They’ve coped really well with the Covid-19 situation and kept things normal for the children.
I have always been very happy with the provision at Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My little boy has been attending since he was eleven months old and loves his time there. He does so many lovely activities each day and I have noticed new vocabulary and learning which has clearly come from his time in nursery. The staff are consistently kind and supportive and I always feel completely confident that he is well cared for when I drop him off in the morning.
Fabulous nursery where both of my daughters have attended. My daughter who’s in preschool absolutely loves it and the staff, especially two members in particular. She’s happy and well taken care of. I have no concerns leaving my daughter there nor have I had any issues. I’ll be sad when she leave to go to school in September.
Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds) is excellent, I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone. The level of care is fantastic, I don’t think I’ve ever met any member of staff that isn’t smiling and all the staff are very welcoming and happy individuals. The record logs and pictures on the app are great to keep you up to date and staff are also very accommodating with any questions or queries. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since being at this nursery and so will her sister as I will be sending her here also. I can’t thank them enough for there help and support getting my little one ready for school.
I would highly recommend Sunbeams Day Nursery (Leeds). My little boy comes home happy everyday and talks highly of the staff and the friends he’s made there. Some days he doesn’t want to come home. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The app they use is really useful as it tells you what and how much food your child has eaten throughout the day and sometimes it’s updated with photos and a little description of what your child has been up to that day. If I have another child, I’ll be sending them here too!
When we have needed to arrange a meeting it was arranged promptly and brilliant suggestions put in place by the staff to help our youngest settle in.
We feel that they go above and beyond for us and our family.
Speaking to many of my friends they wish their nurseries were as good as this one.
