The Sunflower Children's Centre

My son really thrives at The Sunflower Children's Centre. The team are well informed and supports us with any challenges we’re facing. Activities are fun and changed regularly to engage the children. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the children’s development. Overall, really pleased with the care provided.

I can’t recommend them enough! My son has SEN, we had a pretty bad experience with our previous nursery, not getting the support needed and they had no knowledge of processes with the local authorities to access support for our son, so we moved our son to The Sunflower Children's Centre and wow, it was the best decision we could of made for him. He is so happy here, the staff go above and beyond to nurture and help the development of each child. Their Senco is amazing and an expert in all things SEN and all of the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The cooks are so helpful trying to help accommodate and come up with ideas to help encourage my son to eat. As a whole, they have helped put so many things into place to ensure that my son's needs are being met, helping us get an EHCP in progress. Honestly, don’t know where we would be without them and their guidance and support. My son loves attending and that’s down to all of the staff and the amazing environment that they all create.

Highly recommend the Sunflower Nursery to anyone! We're so lucky to have found them!

My daughter has attended The Sunflower Children's Centre since she was 9 months old where she settled into the Seedling room with a lovely team of staff who ensured she was well supported during transition, was really well cared for and had lots of fun throughout the day. She has recently moved from Buds to Petals and she is so happy and thriving within her learning and development, she really enjoys her time at Sunflower the staff are like our extended family. I love the updates I receive during the day too.

Definitely recommend The Sunflower nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery.

The best nursery you will ever find, the staff are amazing! My child has been there for getting on for three years now from such a young age, its the best decision I have, no regrets I'll be very sad when he leaves for school.

My son has been coming here for nearly a year, after a short experience with another nursery, this one is amazing, I love the outdoor spaces for the children and the varied experiences they get are brilliant.

My youngest daughter attends this nursery and has done since being 11 months old. My oldest attended too just before starting school and absolutely loved it! My daughter who still attends loves the place just as much and gets upset when it's not a nursery day. The staff are like a family and go above and beyond. My daughter absolutely loves the food too which is always lovely home cooked meals. She also gets to pick her own snack morning and afternoon. They have a forest school now and it's amazing. I always look forward to the pictures on Daily Connect of what she gets up to. She also enjoys sports and yoga with the girls. My daughter will be sad to leave for school.

Absolutely love this nursery. The staff are so friendly and really go above and beyond. My daughter started back in September 2022 and we are so impressed with how far she has come on! Our daughter always goes in with a smile on her face and is so settled with her key worker and all the staff

Great nursery, my middle child was here for four years and knew my youngest would also be going as the nursery is so well ran. Lovely staff, both the girls were/are happy here. Wouldn't have had them go anywhere else!

All staff are so friendly and great communication. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Wish I knew about this nursery sooner. My son attended another nursery from 6 months old and after covid, we changed to Sunflower and it was the best decision! He has come on leaps and bounds, has so much confidence and knowledge and actually loves going! Also from a parent's point of view, everything is super straightforward and thorough. You receive so many updates throughout the day via the app, which I love and have never had before. Couldn’t say a bad word if I’m honest! My second child will definitely be attending here!

Very good nursery - all the staff are lovely and both our children love this nursery and are eager to go every time, compared to another local nursery where my eldest child refused to go in as he didn’t like it. This was a great positive - the staff are always encouraging the children to do what they take interest in. The only negative comment is regarding being sent invoices to pay for meals during school holidays, when the children aren’t in attendance, as they only do term time. We simply shouldn’t have to pay for meals they aren’t receiving. I pay for meals if they aren’t in for reasons due to illness.

My grandson has been attending Sunflower children's nursery for a few months. He is very well settled and absolutely loves it. As my only grandson, it is always a worry leaving him away from the family but I can honestly say it is the best thing ever for him. As a lockdown baby, he hadn't really mixed with others so was a worry but he is really enjoying his time spent with other children. The staff are brilliant with him and keep us updated throughout each day with pictures, messages, meals etc so you can see how he is doing throughout the day. My daughter and I viewed three nurseries and I have to say this one stood out straight away and has proved to be the right choice. My grandson has really come on since joining and he loves the daily activities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery, it is excellent. Well done team Sunflower.

After moving my children to this nursery from a previous nursery I can’t begin to explain the difference in them. They ask every day “Are we going to nursery today?" They have made so many lovely friends and love the staff so much. Academically, they have come on so much. Daily communication is fantastic seeing all the photos and what they are doing throughout the day. An amazing nursery that cares so much for our children. Also, I am a grandma to four grandchildren who have all thrived at Sunflower and have been prepared for when they started school.

My two boys have attended Sunflower for over five years. The eldest one has now gone to school. The youngest is still there. My wife who is an early years teacher, visited all of the local nurseries and eventually chose Sunflower. She knows what she is talking about in relation to childcare. We cannot fault Sunflower in any way. The staff are excellent and go out of their way to accommodate the children and parents. The building is purpose-built having been a Sure Start Centre. I believe the food is excellent but have not really sampled it myself. Our youngest seems to like it anyway. Both our boys couldn't and can't wait to get there sometimes. I would give them six stars if I could.

My daughter has been going to Sunflower nursery since she was 12 months old and she is now 2 years old. As we do not have family support to help with childcare and as both me and my husband have to work full time, we had to send our daughter to nursery. It is hard making that decision at first but Sunflower made my daughter feel so welcomed and as a parent, you get a gut feeling when something is right and that is how I feel about Sunflower. Since the very first day, I know every single member of staff wants the best for my daughter. My little girl has a second family in the Sunflower girls. The love and support you have given to my baby and helped her to learn and grow is worth it’s weight in gold. When my daughter first started nursery, she was just about walking after a week of going. She would glide from carpet to hard floor - whilst before that, she would slow down and fall down. From each new room and progression she would make the girls know how to give my girl the love and support she needs.

Sunflower children's centre is the best nursery in my area by far! I have 2 children now aged 8 and 3 years old who both have spent their first years at Sunflower children's centre in Hyde. I viewed various nurseries in the area both times and honestly could not recommend this nursery enough. Clean, tidy, decent food and staff are always helpful! I have had dietary issues with my youngest, due to an unknown allergy and each and every member of staff at Sunflower has been supportive and followed the guidance thoroughly that I have been given by health professionals. 10/10 here - both my girls have loved every day at this nursery, especially the new forest school that has recently been built. Thank you team Sunflower.

My girl started nursery in October 2021 and she loves everything about it. The teachers are lovely and friendly. Keep up the good work.
