Located in a beautifully converted old school in the quiet village of Fen Drayton, Sunhill Fen Drayton Nursery is a truly unique, warm and homely nursery in the heart of the community. The setting follows a Montessori approach to education, which prioritises the growth and development of each child, in a supportive and engaging space designed for them to learn and thrive.
The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
Babies join the nursery in the Stars Room and as they grow and develop, toddlers transition into the Sunbeams Room. These rooms have their own garden with slides, a mud kitchen, a water play area, a sandpit, a discovery area, seesaws and a rocking horse. The nursery encourages independence skills and children are able to free flow between indoor and outdoor areas throughout the day.
When children are 3 years old, they transition into the pre-school room. The children in pre-school have their own garden with 2 climbing frames, a mud kitchen, a construction area, a literacy area, a maths area, a water play area, a sandpit, and a canoe. Free flow is also encouraged between the indoor and outdoor space.
Inside, the rooms are warm and welcoming complete with carefully selected resources to enrich the children’s learning and development.
Thanks to the nursery's picturesque setting, the children will often go on walks around the village to visit the local nature reserve, shops and the church, helping to extend and enrich the children’s learning beyond the nursery setting.
Sunhill Day Nursery Fen Drayton has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.804) out of 10, based on 38 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Sunhill Day Nursery Fen Drayton has 80 reviews.

Staff are excellent and are very kind, good feedback given and professional. My daughter has enjoyed her time attending. I would add the rooms do tend to get rather warm in the summer time, air conditioning fitted would make major improvement.

I've just got my little girl enrolled at Sunhill Day Nursery Den Drayton. Staff is so welcoming, very qualified and they make one feel really at peace when I leave my daughter for the day. I always have a handover about her day and my little girl never cries when I drop her off. There was a feeling of trust since the first moment and it is amazing how everyone knows all the childrens names.

It has been fantastic to see how my daughter settled from toddlers to pre-school. The support + from staff have been fantastic and crucial for a really smooth transition. My daughter is always looking forward to come back every week and very excited the day before.
