The Sunflower Children's Centre

They always keep you updated on what's going on and do special days and parties over special times of year. They also offer other things like a coffee once you have dropped them off to have on your way to work and babysitting extras as well.

Would highly recommend The Sunflower Children's Centre they have been great with my daughter in all areas.

My son attended The Sunflower from baby room all the way up to preschool. I've always been reassured as a parent that Sunflower, Hyde provided my child with outstanding care. The partnership with the parents, I felt was above and beyond what I thought I would receive. Both me and my husband loved the daily connect app. We can log on all day to see how our son was doing. We have photos which showed him happily playing or taking part in activities, it even shows us what he had for lunch and how many nappies were changed. Looking around Sunflower and the safety features it provided with internal locking doors and gated off areas, made us really feel at ease they safety was at an extremely high standard. The practitioners in each room are fantastic and the managers would always help in any queries we had.

One of the things that really impressed me about the nursery was the amount of training that the staff attended. The nursery has their own training scheme that all staff are part of and this sounded fantastic and certainly was evident throughout their methods of delivery with the children. When we first viewed for my grandson we looked at many nurseries in the area and found that Sunflower had the best team of experienced and qualified staff who were also all First Aid trained.

My grandson attended nursery up until July 2017 when he left to go to school. He progressed so well within the classes and became a confident school-ready learner. I was a teacher for 40 years and I would have loved to teach in such a wonderful learning environment.

I can guarantee that any further grandchildren will attend the nursery - there would not be any other choice for our family.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Our four-year-old daughter has been going there since she was 9 months old and she has developed into a very confident, clever and independent young lady. The staff are so warm, friendly and reassuring. In the early days when I found it very difficult to leave her there, the staff would send me pictures of my smiling daughter to ease my mind. You get sent updates all day long, telling you what your child has eaten and learned that day. The nursery also takes the older children on day trips to farms and parks whenever they can. My daughter has so much fun there and has made so many friends and lovely memories.

My 16-month-old absolutely loves the 2 days a week he spends at Sunflower. He never gets upset at drop off - he's always excited to see the staff and his little pals, and when I pick him up he's always excitedly trying to tell me what he's been up to.

I love the fact that I get updated throughout the day with pictures and information about the activities they've been doing, how long he's slept, what he's eaten, etc. They do a wide variety of activities, and always get some time outdoors which is great. I never worry about him - I always know he's being well looked after.

The management and staff are really thoughtful and arrange some lovely events for the children - the Christmas party with a visit from Father Christmas was a particular highlight! They obviously really do care about the children and want them to have lots of lovely experiences.

My son has been going to Sunflower nursery for a few months, since going he has come on so much! All the staff that work there are lovely. I also really love receiving updates throughout the day using the app.

I tell everyone I know how brilliant Sunflower Children's Centre is. From the friendly welcoming at reception to the amazing staff that look after my little one. The way they keep you informed on daily activities, the healthy food that is served and the endless amount of learning that goes on within Sunflower. I wouldn't want my little one anywhere else x

Both my children have attended this nursery and I would absolutely recommend to everyone we know. I have 4 nurseries within walking distance of my house but chose Sunflower even though we have to drive to get there because of how amazing it is. The place feels like home everyone is treated like family and I love the holistic approach of learning through play. Letting the children get mucky in their mud kitchens and looking after tadpoles playing outside in their wonderful outdoor space. Both my children have excelled, being there was definitely the best decision I made choosing Sunflower. I am so glad I didn't just pick the most convenient nursery for me but the best nursery for my children.

The staff are lovely. My daughter loves time at this nursery, she has been to another nursery closer to home, which neither my child nor I liked. It takes me 40 minutes on the bus to get to Sunflower, but it's worth it. I would highly recommend. There are so many different activities. The outdoor playground is amazing. The best nursery for my daughter.
