I Will like to say thanks to all the staff at the nursery for the great job they have been doing. I have seen a change from my daughter since she started attending sunbeam nursery, she can express her self so well, she will asked questions about anything she does not understand.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback, Kind regards
Our experience with Sunbeams has been nothing short of wonderful. From the very first visit, it was clear that this is a place where children are genuinely cherished, encouraged, and inspired every single day.
The staff are exceptional; warm, attentive, and deeply committed to the childrens development, being incredibly patient with our kids and helping them to feel welcome from the outset.
We couldn't be happier with our choice. Sunbeams is definitely helping our kids develop a strong foundation for the future.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're happy to hear that you've had such a positive experience with Sunbeams. Our team works hard to create a warm and supportive environment for every child, so your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you.
We are incredibly grateful to Sunbeams and the whole team.
Our daughter transferred from another nursery and needed time to settle. We truly appreciate the manager for allowing her settling-in period to be gradually extended, which made a huge difference to her confidence and sense of security.
All the teachers have been caring and supportive, but we are especially thankful to Lawrence. She was exceptionally patient and attentive, helping our daughter adjust step by step. As our home language is not English, we were initially worried, but Lawrence put great effort into supporting her language development. We are so happy to see how much her English has improved.
Most importantly, our daughter comes home smiling every day and is always excited to go to nursery. The children are polite, happy and well-mannered, which reflects the nurturing environment created by the team.
We feel very fortunate to be part of Sunbeams and truly appreciate the dedication and care shown to our daughter.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really happy to hear that your daughter has settled in well and enjoys coming to nursery. Our whole team are be very pleased to hear your feedback. We truly appreciate your support and are glad to have your family as part of Sunbeams.
My little one absolutely loves her time at Sunbeams. I can't thank the staff enough for everything they've done since she started. Their kindness, support, and dedication have meant so much to us as a family. Sunbeams showed us, as a family, so much patience and support whilst my little one settled in. As a first-time mum, I have greatly appreciated the understanding and reassurance they have shown throughout her time here. It's a joy to look at all the updates on the app and all the activities my child gets involved in. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy to hear that your little one enjoys her time at Sunbeams! It's wonderful to know that our team's care and support have made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
My niece loves attending nursery, she talks about it at home and role plays being a teacher. The staff are really friendly and always happy to help. I haven't got a bad word to say about them! Her confidence has grown so much, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a nursery to go to.
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate your feedback.
My son has recently started at Sunbeams and he has settled in so well, this is due to the caring nature of all the staff. I receive regular updates about his day at nursery and I feel safe in the knowledge that he is well cared for. I would recommend this nursery to all.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate the feedback.
Nothing is too much for her. She is a person who genuinely cares about all of the children in her room.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate the feedback.
My baby recently started at the nursery and she was so upset at first - it was such a big change for her and for us as parents. The girls in her room have been absolutely amazing in settling her in. They are so kind, patient and caring, and you can really see how much they love the children.
We've really appreciated receiving photos and updates throughout the day, especially during those first few weeks. It helped reassure us that she was happy, safe, and starting to enjoy herself.
The new management has also made such a positive difference. The whole setting feels organised, welcoming and focused on the children's needs.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We're delighted to hear your little one is enjoying nursery, and it's wonderful to know you feel happy with the care and communication from our team.
Amazing nursery, brilliant staff! My son started under 1 up until he went to school and now my daughter attends, both children have always been so happy there. Couldn't ask for a better team for my children!

This nursery is absolutely lovely! The staff are amazing with my little boy, he's come so far since starting in January! He absolutely loves it, and the staff are so friendly! He's so happy to go to any of the staff at handover, and I think that is a testament to how well looked after and happy he's made to feel whilst there. I have recommended this nursery to everyone I know who's looking for one as i really appreciate all that has been done to help my little boy. I love that without voicing my concern, the staff have been encouraging him to help with his walking. Again I cannot praise them enough

Sunbeams Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our family. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and supported. The team is warm, professional, and truly invested in each child's development and well-being.
The environment is bright, clean, and full of stimulating activities that encourage learning through play. Our child has grown in confidence, communication, and independence since joining. It's clear the staff genuinely care and go above and beyond to create a safe and happy space.
We especially appreciate the regular updates, photos, and observations - it's so reassuring to stay connected with our child's day. Meals are nutritious, the curriculum is engaging, and the outdoor space is fantastic.

My daughter started sunbeams at the beginning of April this year after being at her old nursery since she was 8 months old, this transition was quite difficult for her but all the lovely staff in the nursery made her transition so much easier. This meant within a few weeks she was fully settled and loved her time at nursery! Every time I picked her up she came out bouncing with joy so I can tell she's had an amazing day! She now greets the staff with hugs and takes herself right into the room! The staff and management have helped our family when we were going through a difficult time! This solidified for me that this nursery truly takes care of their family's.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad to hear your daughter has settled in and is enjoying her time with us. It's great to know we could support your family and we appreciate your support!
I had a good experience, I like the school, the teachers are kind and friendly, they are brilliant with my twins, I am very happy with the school, My daughters like their teachers. At home, they sing the songs that their teachers teach. They have learned a lot from their teacher. This is very good. They are learning well.
I'm so glad to hear that you're having such a positive experience with our nursery! Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to us at Sunbeams
My children have been attending sunbeams since Sept 24 and have absolutely thrived in the environment. They love attending nursery and can't wait to talk about the activities they have done that day. I was apprehensive about sending my children to a nursery as I had only previously had experience with a childminder however it has been a really great experience for all so far.
I'm so glad to hear your children are thriving at Sunbeams! It's great that they're enjoying the activities and look forward to attending. Thanks for sharing your experience. Kind regards
My son now loves going to school and he is now more smart and intelligent
I love everything about the school and I'm happy my son is there
