My little boy has been here since February 2021 and I can’t believe how much he’s learnt and grown within himself by the help of the amazing workers in the nursery. From understanding his speech wasn’t great, to sending me pictures of him through the day of him playing, I feel so understood by this nursery and know my boy is in the best possible hands to learn and grow when he’s at this nursery. I will be forever grateful and I can’t wait to see what else he gets up to whilst he’s here! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and what you continue to do for my son.
He bonded with staff the first time he came when he was 18-months-old. I personally feel they try very hard to make the children feel welcome and comfortable in every session.
I was very happy with the care my son received. If I had another child, I would definitely bring them here.
Brilliant nursery and brilliant staff. The staff always take the time to keep you informed of how your child is getting on. Always healthy meals and since the refurbishment the nursery is looking awesome.
My daughter started at Sunbeams Day Nursery Atherton just after her second birthday in October and I was concerned about how she would get on after spending seven months in lockdown and not socialising with other children. However, all the staff are brilliant and reassured me in her first few weeks and now she loves going and seeing all her friends. I can see a huge improvement in her development since starting. She's become more outgoing and her speech has improved massively and I feel that nursery have played a huge part in that. I'm always kept updated during the day with how she is and it means I can relax and get on with my work knowing she's happy and well cared for.
My granddaughter has been going to Sunbeams Day Nursery Atherton for about six months and she has come on leaps and bounds. She is more active and receptive in all aspects of communication. The staff at Sunbeams Day Nursery Atherton are very patient and understanding with children and will try their best to sort out any problems that you may have. I would recommend Sunbeams Day Nursery Atherton to anyone wanting to find a nursery.
My little one is three years old and has just gone to nursery for the 1st time. I could not be happier, they have been great with not only my son, but with the 1000s of question I have had making me feel at ease leaving him in their care. He has come on leaps and has only been there since January. Keep up the good work and well done to the manager and the rest of the team.
My grandson has attended other nursery and never settled. Since starting at Sunbeams, he can’t wait to go and doesn’t want to go home. The activities change on a day to day basis, so they never get bored. The place is lovely and clean have good covid safety in place. The staff are all lovely and friendly and keep us informed of via the parent app of everything he does during the day. Couldn’t ask for any more.
The app they have is fantastic, you get updated with pictures of what activities they have been taking part in. You get the meal plan, what they’ve had and if eaten all or some etc.
The staff are friendly, and the facilities on offer are of such great standard.
I can’t fault this nursery setting one bit and would highly recommend.
Definite 5* rating from us!
My daughter who’s two started this nursery in the middle of January and settled straight away. My daughter has additional needs, and when looking around at nurseries, this one definitely stood out to me. The staff are so lovely and friendly, and the building looks amazing since the refurb. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
I would recommend sunbeams to anybody who asks.
All the staff here are friendly and welcoming, and I would highly recommend this nursery to others.
I am so happy that my 11-month-old was able to start at Sunbeams in the baby room just under two weeks ago. When I had a look around, I love that they use a lot of natural resources, as well as recycled allowing children to use their ever-growing incredible imaginations as well as helping the environment and stopping the use of single plastic toys. I was so worried about how my little one would settle, but the staff made him and me feel so confident and at ease; he has just taken it in his stride. He has amazing bonds with all the staff, but especially those who were in his room, which to me, shows how passionate and caring they are. Last year, limited what we could do, so it’s been nice to see him play with children his own age of similar. Sunbeams use an app to keep parents and carers up to date with day to day activities such as meal times, and the amount eaten, as well as nappies/ toileting, but the best bit, is the photos they upload of all the fun they have, and my, do they have fun!
My child enjoys going to the nursery and I would highly recommend it.
My son attended Sunbeams before he started reception. My son attended another setting before Sunbeams but didn't settle. The staff are so welcoming and kept me up to date with my child's development. He would bring home pictures of what he had done and would be so excited to tell us about his day. I will not hesitate to send my next child to Sunbeams.
My son only finished due to lockdown and then went onto school but I love Sunbeams, and I couldn't recommend the nursery enough. The staff are friendly and welcoming and always spoke to me on a daily basis. We miss everyone so much that, we are going to visit when we come out of lockdown to show everyone his uniform. The menus are brilliant, there is a variety of food and things on them what I would never have made my son but now I know he eats these things we have started to make them at home.
Daughter enjoys going to nursery and has a good relationship with all the staff and her friends. All areas of development have come on a lot since starting nursery especially speech and social skills.
My son loved coming to nursery before he left for school in September. There always seemed to be lots of activities for the children and was very close with all the staff who were all lovely. The food always smelt lovely too. Thank you for everything you all have done for us.
The staff at Sunbeams are lovely. When I picked my grandson up they would always take the time to discuss in detail what my grandson had been doing. He would also come out of nursery smiling and tell me what he had been doing. The menus are fantastic and I would recommend Sunbeams.
My son attended nursery from him being seven months old to leaving for Reception, which he was well prepared for thanks to all the staff. All the staff have been amazing with him, making him feel happy and comfortable every day. I was kept up to date with his development and what he had been up to day to day. The staff worked tirelessly providing exciting activities for him to do. Thank you all so much for all you have done for him.
Great nursery. Staff very friendly and always on hand to deal with any queries. Regular updates on how my child is doing, the family app they have is fantastic. My daughter has had two happy years at Sunbeams.
