Kids Planet Austhorpe

Both my children have loved their time at Sunbeams. The staff have known my children inside out and gone out of their way to ensure my children are happy and safe. They have stimulating activities, indoor and outdoor and I love it when they come home with baking! Each time my children have moved into older rooms, the transition has been planned carefully and my children have adapted brilliantly. Activities are varied; crafts, baking, outdoor equipment,paint,sensory experiences. The menu is varied and my children eat a range of flavours and textures. Family style eating, altogether also encourages table manners. My eldest also took part in cook school, learning skills themselves. Thank you Austhorpe Team for your care and commitment.

My daughter has been coming here since she was 7 months old. She is now over 2 years old. I can honestly not pick a fault. She has such fun days and loves it. The reassurance from the staff is amazing. The management and staff could not do enough for the children and parents. Every time I pick her up she has a huge smile on her face and always has a cake she has baked or a picture she has made.

I absolutely love this nursery and the staff. Its so clean and so friendly. I know my daughter is in very safe hands which feels fantastic.

Thank you Sunbeams!!!! You do an amazing job xxxx

My little girl has attended since she was 10 months old and is now 3 years old. I’ve always been extremely happy with the nursery and she has always been happy to attend. The staff are fabulous and so caring. Thank you

My daughter settled into Sunbeams extremely well. She is happy when I leave her and always hands overs pictures and smiles when I pick her up. The key workers are all really friendly and helpful. Very pleased.

Lovely Nursery, all the staff are friendly and lovely with the children.The nursery is kept clean and tidy. My daughter absolutely loves it.

My daughter has been attending Sunbeams on Halton since last March and she absolutely loves it! Her social skills and speaking are excellent and the staff are fab! I couldn’t have picked a better nursery to send my daughter to.

Both son and daughter go to sunbeams and enjoy going. My three year old son has learnt how to spell letter of his name with the help and dedication of the staff in preparation for school. My two year old daughter loves the activities like baking and playing with sand. All staff really friendly and nice and reassuring as both my children have cried at drop off time in the morning but quickly settle with cuddles from the staff which put me as a mum at ease leaving them whilst going to work.

Our daughter has attended this nursery for the last 26 months and we never have any worries leaving her there. Any issues have been addressed immediately and professionally and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sunbeams. Our daughter talks about the staff as much as her friends and looks forward to her time there.

My son's communication, social interaction, confidence, maturity and general wellbeing has been developed and nurtured continually whilst attending nursery. We recently moved him into a separate programme for pre-schools. The children in this class are the same every day, they know each other, they are allowed to develop their voices and to deepen their understanding and relationships. The activities in this room are pitched at their stage in nursery life and has done more to prepare him for school in September than in a room with children with varying age groups. They have developed his knowledge of phonics so much so he is happy to write a couple of Christmas cards which would have been unheard of 2 months ago. Progress is made and rewarded as applicable.

We have also just seen the kids do their first nativity play - which was fabulous. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family. Thank you Sunbeams Austhorpe, Leeds.

My son has been there since he was one and he is very happy. He started part-time but now is full time. The management and staff are very caring, supportive and understanding. I never worry about my son while he is there. This means a lot as a working mother. At certain times, they have been flexible with me in terms of additional days. I would recommend the nursery to parents with no hesitation.

Thanks to Sunbeams my eldest is already well prepared to start school next year and looking forward to it (even if I'm not!). We will continue to use the holiday clubs for many years to come as it is a great facility, again run by really caring staff.

Excellent nursery with outstanding service. Trust the long standing staff who are trained at a very high level. Detailed explanations of what a child has/ has not done at end of each day. Very good communication between staff/ parents/ children. Was worried when I moved my daughter from another nursery but she settled in well. When I had concerns that she didn't know her numbers very well, the preschool staff spent time and focused on this straightaway. My son has settled in very well too. The efforts and dedication of the staff definitely show through in the children's development.

My little girl is extremely happy here, she has been going since she was six months old and loves every day there. No matter what mood she is in when I take her, she is all smiles and happiness as soon as she gets in the front door. The staff are exceptional and they have a fantastic balance between learning and playing. I could not recommend them higher.

Sunbeams have always been fantastic with my son, he has been going to this nursery since April and has never had any complaints or worries, even back in the days of him crying every morning when I would leave him staff were so lovely and take care of parents as well as your precious babies!
