My daughter has attended My Sunshine Day Nursery for over 2 years now. She started the day after she turned 1 - it was tough leaving her to go back to work, but the staff in the baby room made it as easy as it could be. My daughter loves going in and I love seeing what she is doing and following all
the info on the Famly app. I cannot rate the staff highly enough - not just super professional, but also warm, kind and understanding. The third-party activities on offer are incredible - tennis, French, heartbeeps and the creativity of the staff is amazing. No one day looks the same. It’s a warm, happy and highly engaging setting - highly recommend.

My son has been at My Sunshine since he was 11 months old and we have been delighted with the care and love he receives. He loves his teachers and all the fun activities they do on a daily basis (from tennis to French, to Sporty Mini's, cooking and gardening). The manager and her team go above and beyond
for the kids and the parents. They have always worked with us to provide continuity for our son and to make sure any changes at home (such as a new sibling) are taken into account. Thank you to the whole team for all you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two-year old daughter really enjoys her toddlers sessions at My Sunshine in Mortlake - she almost always seems happy to be dropped off there and on good form still when she comes out several hours later. We recently went through a set of the photos that get issued after each session, and somewhat
to our surprise, she was able to recall the name of pretty much every other child, and with clear warmth, despite never having mentioned any of them to us previously!
Also, we always get the impression that the staff care, try to keep the days varied, and are very good at letting us know anything we might need or wish to know. Plus they make an effort for special days in the calendar.
In summary, we are very happy with the nursery, and more importantly, so is our daughter.
Thanks.

This is my updated review (taking into account the current Covid-19 crisis). Nursery management and staff have exceeded all our expectations during these challenging times! Good hygiene and safety standards, efficient management (handling of absences, backup plans, precautionary measures), open communication
with parents, etc. Most importantly, my son is happy and he thrives in My Sunshine! Thank you so much!

My second child is about to graduate from My Sunshine and I cannot wait to have my third discovering the wonderful world they are setting for them there. As such, the nursery becomes better and better every year, it’s been fabulous to see what they have been offering the children, how happy they are
to go and how ready they are for school when they finish their time in preschool.

We’ve had a fantastic experience at My Sunshine Day Nursery. We sent our baby at 7 months of age and were worried he was little and it would take a while for him to settle in. But the staff were incredible and we are so amazed and proud of his development over the last 3 months. Nothing is too much
trouble and he absolutely loved going to nursery and seeing the staff and his friends. They do incredible activities from obstacle courses to messy play and outdoor time in the garden. Highly recommend!

My son has been so happy and has had an excellent development since being in the hands of a very very capable, knowledgeable, loving and warm staff at My Sunshine Nursery. He is always smiling going in and coming out. The nursery is extremely organised and has very clear plans in terms of what children
will be doing week to week (per-school) a lot of fun learning, a lot of interactive plays and always something new to keep them excited. We have our second one on the way and have no doubts that we want him to go to my sunshine too.

I love the nursery a lot, considering the amount and richness of activities they have with a great focus on children development. My son enjoys going there, there is a park nearby where children have outdoor activities, there is a good balcony at the facility where they can have fun during bad weather
day. All news and activities are reported by the app Famly.

Our little girl loves it here! The team do so many activities with her, and they also give her lots of love and affection. What is clear too (unlike other nurseries I have seen) is that the team genuinely seem to enjoy their job and always have a smile on their face! We also love that we can log in
to their app throughout the day and see what she’s been doing as well as receiving twice daily photo updates. Plus the meals she gets are so varied; she is definitely broadening her palate!

Our 11-month-old son joined My Sunshine in July and has loved every minute. The team have been incredibly professional with COVID and information flows have been excellent. The nursery easily accommodated our request for a quick onboarding process due to work commitments and our son settled in very
quickly. The nursery workers are all fantastic and our son is smiling as he arrives at the gate each morning and when we pick him up each afternoon. The range of fun activities he gets up to each day are more than I could ever think (or be able) to recreate at home. A really special little nursery. Would thoroughly recommend.

We count our lucky stars we found this nursery. We had put our son down for several other nurseries and decided to wait a little longer for an available place at My Sunshine and honestly it was the best decision we ever made.
Our son absolutely loves it there and the carers are all fantastic. Every
single detail of his day, from what he eats to when he sleeps is logged in real time on the nursery app, as well as lots of photos twice a day, all of which makes us feel like we really understand what our little boy has got up to during the day. I just wish they had a primary and secondary school so he never had to leave.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.897 for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.897
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
