When our son started at Sunhill Nursery, he was shy & not talking much - but the change in him has been amazing!

He's now happier, more confident, & never stops chatting!! We are forever grateful to the staff for helping him grow & learn.

Sunhill Peckham is a very good nursery with a very friendly staff . To name some of them: Jamie, Esther, Nicole, Gisèle, Siobhan and all the others

They have the right amount of children which is great for the kids. Our son went there and his little sister is currently there and has been there for more than 18 months and she loves it.

Review from Rachel C (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is two years old and has been at Sunhill for over a year now. Its a very small and friendly nursery. The staff are wonderful and he's been looked after very well in the baby room. I feel very comfortable leaving him with the staff who are very warm and engaging. They take all the children out for a walk in the local area. I noticed how my son always holds my hand when we walk on the pavement, which has been great. They have also helped him develop other skills such as tidying up and playing well with other children well as well as his sounds. There is a strong routine that makes the children feel safe and secure. The leadership team are fantastic and very flexible and helpful. I've found this a great nursery, and there was not a wait time like many of the nurseries in Peckham.

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been very happy with Sunhill. My eldest daughter has attended for over a year. She is happy, well looked after and has learnt lots of new skills. The staff know all the children by name and there seems to be very low staff turnover (a very good sign!) I feel very comfortable leaving her in their hands. They take all the children out for a walk in the local area twice a day which in my opinion can be better than an outdoor space as she is more streetwise and exhausted from all the walking. They regularly take them to parks and the library, have external sports and Spanish teachers once a week. I feel like the activities are varied and yet there is a strong routine that makes the children feel safe and secure. I know the managers are working on better parent communication and there is a newsletter once a week. My younger daughter will start there next month.

Reply from Jo Bamforth, Marketing Manager at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Creating a nurturing environment with engaging activities is so important to us, so it's wonderful to know it's had a positive impact. We really appreciate your recommendation!"

Review from Casey L (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham is wonderful, both the setting and staff is incredibly pleasant and my child has settled and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Managment lead the nursery with pride and are very welcoming every morning and afternoon. The staff are incredibly polite and very helpful. I have never had a problem with the treatment of my child and their is very well open ended communication. The app is updated daily with either photos or written updates. The staff are all notably brilliant and a credit to the old station faculty. There are daily activities set out for children including sports, reading, arts and crafts and Spanish lessons.

While there isn't an accessible outside play area they take my child out twice daily and have an indoor play area. The chef provides a wide variety of cooked and cold meals for the children with many flavours and fresh ingredients.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Review from M K (Father of Child) published on 8 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our two-year-old son has been attending Sunhill for around a year. He started off in the baby room and is now in the toddler room. He was unsure at first as it was a new experience for him and the first few times he cried when he went in. However, now he always runs through the door with a smile on his face every time!
He was also not very sociable in general before but has completely transformed since he's been going there. He is a lot more friendly and cheerful with all the kids and adults he meets (not just in the nursery). The staff are extremely competent and communicative, also the manager is doing a fantastic job including putting on extra events for the kids and parents.

There isn't an outside space as such on-site but this isn't a drawback as they regularly take the kids out for walks to various local parks. He loves all the food there too which is a massive bonus as sometimes he is a bit fussy at home. I can wholeheartedly recommend this nursery with no reservations.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

It is lovely to read how your son's social skills and confidence have developed since joining our setting and that you are both enjoying the activities and events. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.

Review from I O (Mother of Child) published on 5 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff need better communication within the team, once you tell a staff member important information about your child and request for this to be passed on it never is. They also do not take the afternoon children in the baby room outside for fresh air, one of the staff members told me this herself and I was extremely displeased. When I would ask what my daughter had eaten, I was told that they don’t give the babies food but snacks in the afternoon but when speaking to another staff member, I was told the opposite. Communication is terrible at this nursery and needs to be worked on.

Very homely atmosphere for children. My child is now 15 months old, and he learned a lot of skills from the nursery since he started. The staff are lovely and treat the babies like their own. We are very happy we found this nursery; it's a "home away from home" for our child. Very grateful to all the staff for looking after our child. You are all wonderful; you should all be proud of what you do for the children.

Review from M P (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Unclear in regards to payment. I often explained my concern about my son's meals, but I had no response. My son is happy with the carers and I am satisfied with his learning, honestly. I was upset once I had to pay ten pounds for ten minutes late, even if I collect my son always later than the drop-off time. I lost lots of money every month as there was a misunderstanding at the time of signing the contract.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at Sunhill Day Nursery Peckham

Thank you for your feedback. We do have a late charge which is stipulated in our Terms & Conditions. This charge is in place as we have to ensure the nursery is staffed correctly for additional children who are being collected late, often resulting in staff members staying after their working hours. I hope that you understand. Thank you again for your feedback.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was one, and we all love it. He skips in, in the mornings, and every day he tells us he has had a great day. The staff are amazing - it really feels like they care about the kids, and they go above and beyond. We were initially unsure because of the lack of outdoor space, but they do take the kids out regularly to local parks or for walks. My son especially loves the trips to the train station and the Chinese supermarket.

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Sunhill and are very happy there. The staff greet the children with happy smiling faces every morning, and they are so happy to go in every morning. The staff are extremely caring, understanding and loving toward the children. We are enjoying the use of the app and seeing a little more about their days. The only downside for us is there is no outside space on site, but the team do their best to take the children outside every day, and they are creative with their activities.

Review from G H (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has loved being at Sunhill. What makes it special is the staff who have years of experience and genuine joy and love to help nurture and educate the children. The space inside is small, but the staff always try to get outside to different areas - which I think is more valuable in learning about road safety and exploring nature than having private outdoor space.
The team have moved to update via a parent app, and we love seeing the updates on what the children are getting up to - would love to see more!
Admin and communication to parents have been pretty good - we were immediately welcomed when our childminder had to quit quite suddenly due to the impact of Covid, and Sunhill were very accomodating and reassuring in settling my daughter in.

The curriculum and way of learning are varied, and I particularly like that they take into account the different cultures and hobbies of the children to ensure things are interesting and fun.

Review from Charlotte M (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are always welcoming and easy to talk to. Our son settled in quickly and runs in happily in the mornings. Although they don’t have outdoor space, they take the children out for long trips outside - arguably giving them more room to run around than in a small garden area.
We are always kept well informed of daily activities, and the staff are knowledgeable of the EY curriculum and how to best support children in their development.
One teeny tiny improvement would be if the app was updated slightly more regularly. It would be great to be able to see on the app how much sleep they have at the end of each day, and I love seeing the photos of the lovely activities. However, the staff will always tell you all the information at home time; I just have a memory like a sieve.

Overall, we are so happy with the flexibility of having a term-time only place, and the lovely staff make it such a positive experience.

A fun, friendly and very welcoming nursery, even in current times! They have always kept us informed on daily activities, naps, food etc, and it is reassuring that they keep clear notes on each child’s behaviour, developments and progress.
It’s nice knowing that they also take trips out to the park, as well as have a huge range of toys/playtime/activities inside too.
I really like the flexibility of being able to choose school hours too, and have always had a clear and quick communication with support services as well as the nursery management too.

Our little one runs happily into the nursery, nothing more positive than that!
