Review from R R (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As new parents, we chose 'My Sunshine' based on the glowing recommendations of our neighbours-and it was the best decision we could have made for our son. Since starting at one year old, he has thrived in what is truly a nurturing, loving, and intellectually engaging environment.

What sets this nursery apart is the genuine partnership. The teachers balance the needs of the child and the parents with exceptional focus. They didn't just 'watch' our son; they navigated the big milestones with us-from potty training to emotional regulation to dealing with a new sibling. Every room is well-structured, and communication is consistently proactive and two-way. We continue to love this nursery as our daughter goes there too. Highly recommend!

Review from Marta K (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have the pleasure of having my second daughter at Sunshine Nursery, and I honestly couldn't be happier. The staff are absolutely wonderful - warm, friendly, and incredibly caring. They go above and beyond to make sure every child is supported, happy, and progressing beautifully.

My little Isabella absolutely loves nursery. She talks about it all the time and asks every evening if she's going back the next day - which says everything. Knowing she's so excited to be there and so well looked after gives me complete peace of mind.

We feel very lucky to be part of such a nurturing and supportive nursery community. I can't recommend Sunshine Nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience

My sunshine nursery has been the most wonderful place for our little boy. The staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable and the huge range of activities keeps all the children busy and engaged. The staff work together with us as parents with any issues (potty training for example) and make sure we are all working together to ensure a consistent approach for our son. The staff are well looked after and there is very low turnover, showing how happy staff are to work there which comes across in how they care for our child. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough, we are so lucky to have them!

Review from Georgina R (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We returned from Sydney a year ago and were really worried about the transition and finding a nursery to even compare with the one in Australia, which the kids adored. But we needn't have worried, My Sunshine was so helpful and patient with the kids (and us), they settled in quickly and happily, and we now can't imagine them anywhere else. The care and attention that the team provides is second to none, and the kids have formed some really strong bonds with them. The days are interesting, carefully planned, educational but fun, varied and mixed with plenty of external activities. Our eldest will leave to start school in September and the team have done a wonderful job in preparing her and supporting yet another transition. The graduation was amazing, so thoughtful and emotional. Luckily our youngest stays on for another year as I am not ready to say goodbye. Cannot recommend My Sunshine and the amazing team enough.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend this nursery enough. Our little one joined as a ten month old and he's leaving to start school this month. The staff have been consistently brilliant throughout - they care so much and my son loves them. Good food, an interest rotation of externally-led sessions which are really engaging for the kids, and really good provision in terms of hours. The graduation ceremony the nursery put on was so thoughtful (and emotional!). Thank you MSDN for giving my son the happiest and best few years. We will miss you.

Overall Experience

It's a great place. My daughter has been there 6 months so far and loves it. Staff turnover is low, she's had the same people in her room and a dedicated key worker. There is lots of messy play, a great food provision that's full of variety and healthy. They do loads of activities and trips, messy play, hartbeeps, French, activities that involve families. Settling in sessions were well planned and managed. Also - she just loves going there, which is comforting and makes me think they treat her well.

A really lovely nursery that nurture and develop children. Settling in was as smooth as it could be and they took the time to learn about my son and make it as smooth as possible. Staff really care about the kids and make learning really fun. My son goes in with a smile on his face every day.

Our little one has been attending this nursery since she was a baby. It's wonderful to see the level of care the nursery provides. It's been a joyful environment for our child to learn, grow in confidence and make lots of friends.

Review from Katerina L (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are absolutely amazed by the nursery at all levels. The activities, impact on our child, their communication with us parents, the level of care for individual pupils and their specific needs. Our daughter didn't speak much of English when she started attending and now she is confident in using English as her third language. She loves the teachers (so do we) and is sad as she is graduating as that means no more of the nursery. I appreciated variety of experience the children gained during their time. I can't recommend My Sunshine enough. We were very lucky to have this choice.

Overall Experience

I have had 3 children over the last 7 years at My Sunshine and they have been absolutely amazing. The whole organisation from top to bottom is friendly, engaging and they clearly care about providing excellent care. The staff are consistently well motivated and my kids have loved every single person who has looked after them. Childcare in London is very expensive wherever you go but we have received excellent value. Cannot recommend highly enough. Best in the business.

Review from Natalie L (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All three of my children have been at My Sunshine from when they turned 1 until they go to school. My youngest is there now and will do the same. It would have been more convenient for us to put the baby in a nursery closer to school. But I trusted my gut and we stayed with My Sunshine. I'm so glad we did as it's been the best decision. I know the nursery well and the staff and the care they provide. All three have been very happy at nursery. They do so many activities there. The two main points for me were that they have external companies that come in to do classes like Hartbeeps and sports. The other point was that they go out. Not many other nurseries do either of those things. They make the most of the location and go to the river, the park and the train station. My elder two were well prepared for school because of the preschool there. The Famly app they use is also a big positive to be able to know what your child is up to and to see photos each day.

Overall Experience
I can't tell you how delighted my husband and I are with My Sunshine. There are so many excellent things about the nursery but the thing we like most is that they really care about all the children. As a result our son is happy and confident and genuinely looks forward to going to nursery. When we are at work it's incredibly comforting to know that he's being well looked after.
Another thing that really stands out is the huge range of activities the children are involved in. From learning French to football and face painting, the staff are brilliant at making sure every day is fun packed. And unlike other nurseries, the teachers are all incredibly experienced. In a couple of instances staff have left only to return which shows what a lovely place it is.
The menu is very varied and management take on board feedback from parents.
We have met some lovely other parents as a result of our son (and shortly daughter) being at the nursery.

We cannot recommend My Sunshine more highly!

We are delighted with My Sunshine! Choosing childcare for our first child starting at age 1 felt daunting but all of our worries were quickly dispelled. We could quickly see how well-run the nursery is, how much our child loves being there, and how warm and caring the staff are. Our child's development there has been brilliant and we particularly love the nursery's focus on emotional wellbeing. We can't recommend the nursery highly enough.

We have loved and will continue to love our time with the team at My Sunshine Day Nursery. They have brought real joy to our two kids and have developed them very well through the years. Our eldest has transitioned extremely well to primary school reception and was very well-prepped to join. Our youngest feels ready to go now but we still have one more year! Yay!
The team are so friendly and encouraging, providing challenge, praise, development, comfort and safety. What more could you want?
Oh...Our kids have always eaten well at nursery with good variety and standards! There, complete.

Thanks, everyone at My Sunshine Day Nursery!

We are really happy with the nursery. The staff show genuine care for the children, it's a nice intimate environment, and they put on a great range of activities. Staff provide regular updates throughout the day which is nice and they are very responsive to communications and are organised. They made the settling-in period really seamless and I feel that my child is well cared for and enjoys her time at nursery. I'd definitely recommend it.

Overall Experience

Absolutely wonderful nursery. It's the staff at My Sunshine Day Nursery that makes it such a happy and loving place for the kids. My 18-month-old is happy to see everyone in the mornings and it's an enormous comfort to see him so happy and welcomed with warm hugs and genuine smiles every morning. Every day there are engaging, interactive and creative activities for the babies. The staff are incredible at coming up with different activities to help them develop and there's excellent communication so you always know how your child's day was, what they're learning or anything else you should know. Would very highly recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

We have been with My Sunshine for the past 5 years (both Mortlake and Barnes) with both my little ones and we can’t recommend the nursery enough. The nursery offers a variety of activities keeping the children engaged and active. The staff get to know each child individually and are very responsive to their needs. When our little one turned two we had a sense he was struggling and had some emotional and social challenges and the nursery team worked with us, supported my son through his needs and happily supported us with a referral to SLT. The management team are very knowledgeable about the early years education system and great all around. Staff have been fairly consistent which has been amazing to help settle our kids. The preschool has been great in prepping for school and they focus on independence. We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery team and setting.

Overall Experience

My Sunshine Nursery has been the absolute best thing for my son. He loves it so much, has the best carers and has made some life long friends, as have we as parents. He is always stimulated and does different things so never gets bored. They serve delicious and nutritious meals which he eats far more of than anything at home. The nursery staff have been amazing and really accommodating, and we can’t wait for our second child to join them in the baby room in a few months.

Excellent care and genuine affection given to my son. I feel confident sending him there 3 days a week as I know he is so well looked after and has an amazing day full of activities. They understand his personality and quirks and do everything they can to accommodate his interests. They have so many wonderful activities to celebrate different cultures and special days too.
