A lovely nursery with a very pleasant atmosphere. My son settled there within a week and is a happy cheerful boy every time I pick him up. The staff is brilliant and takes very good care of the babies. I can’t recommend this place enough! 5 big stars

I am absolutely thrilled with My Sunshine nursery. The nursery manager and her team are simply amazing with my daughter and are so lovely when I have questions or advice.
My daughter moved from Babies to Toddlers with no problems and is thriving and happy.
I visited a number of local nurseries but
as soon as I walked into My Sunshine, I knew it was the one for us! The indoor and outdoor space is fantastic and the nursery manager and her team are friendly and very professional. They are so efficient with the Famly APP and update it all the time with meals, activities and photos. I trust them 100% with my daughter which makes my working day much easier.
I know my daughter is safe and happy which makes me feel happy too!
I’ve already recommended My Sunshine to my local friends, you should definitely meet the nursery manager and the assistant manager if you’re trying to find a nursery place!

I came across My Sunshine walking past. I went in to enquire, met the nursery manager and had a really lovely conversation with her. She's the first nursery manager I'd met who was genuinely passionate about her business. She shared all her plans and ambitions for the nursery which she'd recently taken
over. I walked away knowing she was the right person to be doing this, impressed by her motivation and desire to create a fantastic experience. She's made this a great nursery. All the plans she had at the beginning have been rolled out. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The communication is impressive - online portal where photos/newsletter/activities are posted. A welcoming and approachable place with quick responses to questions makes it all easy. I'd definitely recommend this nursery over any other ones in the area. It supersedes all of them in terms of the staff, the equipment, the variety and the communication. Thank you My Sunshine - you are the best secret! Happy baby who's loved it!

Both my sons love My Sunshine Nursery. They are really engaged, have a fantastic time and learn loads. They always talk about what they've done, and the good communication between nursery and parents means that we get a great understanding of what they've been up to.


I would thoroughly recommend

the nursery. The staff are amazing and really care.


The boys always ask when they're next going!

Review from Samantha C (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loved going to nursery, the staff were amazing and built up a good relationship with my daughter.
The three days she attended nursery, they did a lot: art, music, baking, small world play, role play, the list goes on.
Would definitely recommend this nursery to whoever is looking
for a nursery to send their child.
Staff encouraged independence and kept a daily log of all that my daughter had done during her time, so I was able to see and talk to her about it when I got home from work.


We started at the nursery as it had just changed management and the change in the building/rooms/ outdoor space was incredible. They had changed everything to suit the needs of the different age groups they cater to, babies, toddlers and preschool.

Review from Lola A (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter spent 3 years in the nursery and I have not regretted it at all, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made, she is a very confident young girl and very intelligent and that's because My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School go the extra mile to teach the children in their care. They
also have a very dedicated team working with the kids.


My daughter loved every minute of being in the nursery and would miss the place so much, but its now time for her to start reception this September.

Reply from Harriet Ballardie at My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School MortlakeThank you for your wonderful feedback. We are going to miss you all.

My child loves going to the nursery. She speaks about the staff all the time at home. We really love the Famly platform which allows me to keep up to date about my child throughout my working day which puts me at ease.

My son started attending Kids@Mortlake Nursery in September 2017 and he loved every minute he spent there. Nursing staff are very caring and friendly. The nursery offers a great catering service with various healthy foods and snacks. My son has been having fun painting and learning in many different
ways. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.916 for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.916
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School Mortlake is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 16 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.
