Sunny Days Nursery is located on Heathfield Industrial Estate near the A30, perfect for those who commute to work or work on the estate. It is located in a purpose-built building with 3 childcare rooms and two gardens separated by a wooden gate, with soft flooring suitable for younger children to explore.
The rooms are divided by age: Baby (3 months to 2 years), Toddlers (2-3 years), and Preschool (3-5 years). The rooms have staff allocated to them, meaning that they become familiar with the age group, the children and the families around them.
Sunny Days Nursery offers a safe environment for children to learn through play. Staff create learning opportunities and leave provocations and invitations to play for the children. The nursery is committed to supporting children and meeting them at their stage of development. The recent Ofsted report highlighted the level of SEND support, and this is a point of pride for the team. Children thrive on the child-led approach, and staff cover the curriculum by following individual interests.
Each child who starts at the nursery is allocated a key worker, based on who builds the strongest bond. The key worker is responsible for ensuring the child receives observations, assessments, and next steps. Families get to know the key worker well.
Sunny Days Nursery recognises that it can be difficult for families when a child begins nursery, so settling sessions are offered. Staff are experienced in welcoming new children, settling them, and reassuring parents. The nursery has an open-door culture, so families can call to check on their child and drop off or collect at any time during the booked session.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

They've come such a long way with their development and have really thrived in the nurseries environment.

My daughter started at the nursery mid July at nine months old. The staff at Sunny Days have been so supportive, settling my daughter in and their communication has been fantastic.

Our decision to use Sunny Days Nursery was based on the management style, the facilities and the structure of the provision.
Our experience of the setting has surpassed our expectations and every member of staff shows genuine care and interest in our child, which at 8 months old when first using the service was quite something.
The clear documentation of our child's daily activity not only gives us a window into their world but also an inspiration for activities at home.
Facilities are excellent and time in the playdome is a big bonus.

We are both happy, extremely happy with the overall standard of Sunny Days provided for our little girl. She is so eager to go to nursery and always so smiley when picking her up. I couldn't fault anything and the staff are all so lovely and happy to help with anything.

We have found Sunny Days a lovely nursery, it is very clean and the space/set up is fantastic giving the different ages their own areas. Outside is excellent. The staff are always friendly and informative. My daughter is about to turn into a pre-schooler and I hope that the nursery gives them a chance to be well prepared for school, they already do lots of singing which my daughter loves. I would like to see the food/menu to have more variety with different flavours and a noticeable emphasis on nutrition - perhaps the menu could be communicated to parents.
My son started at Sunny Days two months ago in the baby room. I have always found the staff very helpful and friendly! He thoroughly enjoys his time there and I know he is well looked after. A fantastic nursery with brilliant staff.

My childcare qualifications include CASHE Level 3 in childcare and education. I also hold up-to-date paediatric first aid, food hygiene, and Level 3 safeguarding.
As Manager, my responsibilities are to be the Safeguarding Deputy and to ensure the nursery runs smoothly.
I always knew I wanted to work in childcare since I was very small. As a teenager, I did lots of regular babysitting for many families and then went on to do my Level 3 at college; while doing this, I got my first job at the local after-school club.
After finishing college, I also got a job at the pre-school, alongside the after-school club and volunteered at the local Brownies, toddler group and youth club. I then went on to work as a Childminder's assistant before becoming a Childminder myself. My husband got a job opportunity that took us out of Cornwall into Devon at the beginning of 2020, where I started working in a nursery in Exeter as a Room Leader in the Preschool and then Baby room before I moved on to working here at the lovely Sunny Days.
I have worked in childcare for 12 years and joined the team here in November 2021. I love working with children and have such a passion to watch and teach them how to grow and progress.

I hold a Level 3 National Diploma in Childcare Learning and Development.
I first realised I loved working with children when I was young, babysitting for families as a teen, and doing work experience in a nursery, which created a spark for SEN. I have worked with children with additional needs since school, as a 1-1 for many children, specialising in Autism. I hold a SENDCo qualification, and this is my favourite aspect of my job. I have been 1-1 for children in both nurseries and school, supporting the most complex children. I have worked in SEN schools and have been recognised by OFSTED for my work.
I currently work across all of the rooms here with all of the age groups to provide support to all. I ensure the smooth running of the setting and work very closely with Victoria to come up with new and exciting ideas for both the staff and the children.
