My Daughter currently attends the nursery, and really enjoys it. My Daughter has been at the nursery since she was 6 months old. All the staff at the nursery are lovely and take a keen intrest in my child and her learning. She loves all the staff and has strong bonds with her room leader and keyworker. The nursery has some great enhancements such as Montessori learning, cookery enhancement, next stop school and they have companies come in and do activities with the children. They currently have mini athletics coming in twice a month which my daughter loves to join in. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Thank you to all the team for what you do day in day out.

Our daughter has developed so much since being at sunhilll fen Drayton. The entire team work very hard to look after the children. They provide lots of great learning opportunities and always promote outdoor play and exploration. Our little girl has become very confident during her time at fen Drayton nursery.

We are delighted to read how much your daughter has developed in confidence during her time at our nursery. The team will be pleased to know that the learning opportunities, outdoor exploration, and their attentiveness to the children's well-being are highly valued parts of your experience.
Our son has been attending since September, he has formed a really fab relationship with the team in the baby room. He settles quickly, and has a great range of activities to keep him busy. Food and snack time seems to be his favourite time of day! I would love for them to go out more to the local park but in the summer they spent a lot of time in the garden which was lovely.
We are delighted to read that your son has settled so well and built such lovely relationships with our team. It is wonderful to know he is enjoying the variety of activities, and we love that food and snack time are highlights of his day! Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion about visits to...
My son started at Sunhill Day Nursery in October he had 3 settling in sessions which went well. The nursery often do different and exciting activities throughout the day, the Christmas hamper/gifts was a nice surprise. The food the nursery offer is excellent and varies day to day. Ernie has clearly picked up already many skills from nursery such as using a fork and placing blocks on top of each other.
Thank you very much for your review. We are so pleased to read that your son has settled in well and is enjoying his time at nursery. We are delighted to know that he is developing new skills already - those early achievements are so rewarding to see!
Would recommend this nursery. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. My son loves it here and they do so many different activities. The outdoor space is great.
Thank you so much for recommending our nursery. We are delighted to read that your son enjoys his time with us and that you appreciate our friendly team, varied activities, and outdoor space.
We've been delighted with Sunhill since our son started. The staff made sure he settled quickly, and they've all contributed to his development. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, fun and welcoming setting for their child.
We are thrilled to read that your son has settled in quickly and that you are happy with the care and support our team provides. We feel privileged to be part of your child's early years journey and thank you for your recommendation.
I love the variety of exercises and activities he does here. More external visits when the weather improves, please.
We are delighted to read how positively your son speaks about his time with us and that you appreciate the effort our team puts into creating a varied and engaging experience. We appreciate your suggestion regarding more external visits and will certainly keep this in mind as we plan future activities.
Our baby girl has been attending the nursery for about 18 months now. We can see how well she has been improving and growing her confidence. The communication with nursery is very good. We get daily updates on everything our little one has been up to from food and nappies to special moments. The team is very professional and friendly and our baby girl has built a good rapport with them. Thank you to the team for looking after our precious baby. Thanks.
It is a pleasure to read how well your daughter has settled and how her confidence has grown during her time with us. We place great importance on clear, consistent communication with families, so we are delighted that you value the daily updates and shared special moments.
Our child has always seemed to really enjoy nursery. The care he gets is excellent they always seem to have filled the day with activities to keep him busy. The constant changing staff is the only downside and does feel like the children don't always get consistency with staff members.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to read that your son enjoys nursery and our activities. We appreciate your comments regarding staff changes and understand the importance of consistency. We are committed to providing stable, high-quality care and will take this on board.
Sunhill Fen Drayton is a great nursery/preschool and our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. Activities are varied with lots of outside time, and opportunities to learn new things. Staff are attentive to individual needs and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for recommending our nursery. We are so pleased that your daughter has enjoyed her time with us how much she has enjoyed our activities and learning experiences.
Great friednly nursery catering to the needs of each specific child. Accommodating Halal food for our daughter. Really look after her needs. Good daily updates and communication.
Thank you for your kind review. We're so glad to hear that your daughter's needs are being met and that our communication is helpful and we truly appreciate your feedback.
Really love Fen Drayton nursery. The staff are always friendly, positive and welcoming and my daughter loves it there. My only negative comments are that the building is a bit tired and there's a steady - if understandable - turnover of staff.
We're so happy to hear your daughter loves her time with us. We appreciate your thoughts on the building and staff turnover and will continue to work on improvements.
We love the smaller setting and that it doesn't feel clinical. Our little one is always happy at nursery and the staff are lovely and feel like family.
We are really proud of our home-from-home environment. It is lovely to read how happy your little one is in our care. Thank you for leaving us a review.
We switched our son from a very busy, chaotic setting to Sunhill and have been delighted with the care and attention at this school setting. He's gained so much confidence and is very happy and settled. The setting itself is old and tired, but the staff are lovely.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. We are delighted to read how well your son has settled that you are happy with our care. We will pass on your feedback to the appropriate departments.
I can not thank the staff that look after my daughter enough, from my child’s second visit I knew I had made the right decision in trusting this nursery, to take excellent care of my child. The staff are welcoming and reassuring and really care about the individual child and strive to get the best outcomes for my child from making sure she feels emotionally secure to meeting her next developmental milestones. I have seen my child go from strength to strength waving me off in the morning and telling me who she is going to play with when she gets to nursery. Staff make sure I’m happy with transitional changes as she’s recently moved from babies to the toddler room and I get lovely photos and daily feedback about all the activities she has taken part in.
The Sunhill Day Nursery Fen Drayton provides excellent care and creates a supportive environment for learning and personal development. The room lead and other teachers in the preschool room (3-4 year olds), where my child is, are particularly excellent. They are enthusiastic, caring and clearly invested in helping the children have fun and develop into confident children who are well-prepared for school. They routinely look for ways to stretch the children, finding different exercises to engage them in areas of their interest.
Our daughter is very happy at this small and friendly nursery, having been attending for nearly two years. She enjoys the home-cooked food and looks forward to seeing her friends and staff each day.
Thank you so much for your review; we really appreciate it!
My baby settled in really well with the staff. After a couple of months in the nursery, he doesn't want to come back home some days. There is fresh food prepared every day, and they have adapted the menu for my child, who has some food allergies. They work with the Montessori approach, which is great.
Thank you so much for your review; we really appreciate it!
We are very happy with our experience of the nursery. This is our third child who has attended Sunhill Nursery Fen Drayton. The staff are patient and kind and have accommodated our daughter’s needs. The preschool room is a great space. She looks forward to coming and has fun.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your lovely feedback! We really appreciate it!
