Sunnydale Nursery has been in our family for 4-years now when our eldest daughter attended for the first time. From the very first settling in visit to now; four years down the line, we know we made the right choice. Our girls have had the best start in their little lives; from the wonderful staff to
the amazing activities, to the family events and trips out; it’s the little details that make this place so special. Our girls consider it their home away from home. Every day a new story to tell about what fun they have had. It has been a pleasure watching them grow and flourish into the little ladies they are becoming. This place makes going to work and the mum guilt that comes with it that little bit more bearable.

My son started at Sunnydale when he was just 7-months-old. He settled straight away. I’m completely at ease knowing my son is well looked after, and it shows as he is such a happy boy. His development is amazing, and that’s all down to the team at Sunnydale. We get daily reports on what’s he’s eaten/slept/activities
etc. Sunnydale is an extended part of our family... simply the best!

Very well trained staff... always helpful and concerned about the families that attend.
The building itself is very comforting, and the staff are very welcoming.
The facilities to help the children learn are of very high standards.

My son has been coming to Sunnydale Nursery for over a year now and has come on so much in every way possible. He started in the toddler room but is now in pre-school. Since the very first visit, he's loved it and runs all the way there from home, then normally is that excited he forgets to say bye
to me when he goes in. He comes home telling me about his friends and often mentions Devon, to them at home. Pre-school do so many different things with the children, in and outside of the nursery; he's a lucky boy. I'm still so glad we chose Sunnydale Nursery.
All staff are friendly and keep me well informed. Any problem or question, an email is replied to quickly, and every issue has been sorted by management.
We very much recommend.

My son goes to this nursery three times a week and absolutely loves it. He took a few weeks to settle, but the staff were brilliant with him and me too. They sent emails with pictures of him enjoying himself soon after I had left, which really put me at ease too leaving him upset.
The staff are all
great, super friendly and helpful. Communication is spot on, and I love seeing what he’s been getting up to and his progress via the app and parents' Facebook page.
The outside space is fantastic; he loves it out there as there is so much to do.

The nursery staff are amazing and so friendly. They are always doing interesting things with the kids and taking them out. Sometimes I can’t believe the things my little one knows, and he tells me he learnt them at Sunnydale. Would recommend it to anyone. Both my children have been here, and we will
be gutted when he starts school in September!

My daughter attends 3-mornings a week 7 am till 1 pm staff are always pleasant. My daughter enjoys going now; it did take a while for her to settle. Sometimes communicating through the log is a bit confusing, and some messages don't come through, and it doesn't give alot of feedback on what your child
has done or is developing. Saying that, the staff will answer any questions on pick up.

My two children have been going to this nursery since baby/toddler room all the way through to the Shack (holiday/after school club). There has never been a day where they haven’t wanted to go. The staff build brilliant relationships with the children and go the extra mile to make them feel welcome
and comfortable (that much so my daughter invited one of them for Christmas dinner).
Wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

My son has been going here since January.
He was unable to speak any more than a few words and also would not use the potty. In the short time he has been there, he is already speaking amazingly and using the toilet. I love that they take the children out for walks and other places. It really has
helped my son massively!

I contacted the nursery in October of 2021. It was so easy to book a viewing and get my son signed up.
He started in November, and we haven't looked back since. My son has blossomed since being there. All the staff are kind and caring, and I couldn't imagine my son going anywhere else.

My little girl has only been coming to the nursery for just over a month, and the difference in her already is unreal! Due to being so little, when Covid hit, she had very little confidence, but in the last few weeks, that has completely changed! She’s super excited to go in every time, and she had
no problem settling in! Every member of staff have been so lovely and welcoming, and I’m very glad we chose this nursery for our little girl!

My little boy has been attending this nursery since 2021. It is the biggest nursery in the area. The staff are lovely and treat my child like their own. They had issues at one point of staff leaving, but this does seem to have settled down. My son's learning is great as far as I know. However, communication
on this can be hard to get. For example, I do not know my son's next steps, and they are not available for me to see. The children have lots to play with, realistic things. Activities at Sunnydale are amazing. Children get to go on days out on a rotational basis. Food at the nursery I think is of basic choice. My child can be a fussy eater, and there doesn't seem to be another option to try if they dont eat the first option. The girls in management are fantastic and a credit to the team. They keep in touch and answer quickly any queries I have. They are such lovely women! My son will be continuing his preschool here; he's happy here. That's what matters! Sunnydale are our family!

Our little boy has been at Sunnydale nursery for 16-months, and he absolutely loves every minute. He is so excited to go and see his friends and the staff. He particularly enjoys playing outside, and Forest fields are amazing for exploring and running around, along with the local walks and splashing
in puddles and getting muddy. Staff are extremely helpful and supportive and provide good feedback on how we can support at home also to meet milestones. He enjoys the variety of food and snacks and always asks for more. Most of all, our little boy is happy there and has fun along with learning new skills every day. He will miss everyone from summer when he starts big school.
Thank you for everything!

Sunnydale have been amazing since our daughter started with them. They really do look after and bring the children on, and the setup of their facilities is brilliant for the children. Her social skills have really come on since going to them for nursery.

My son loves it at nursery. His social skills have developed, and he is now an independent and outgoing 3-year-old. He loves the preschool room leader and talks about her all the time. They help prepare them for school too, helping to embed essential life skills. 100% recommend. Will be using it for
wrap-around care when he starts full-time school!

Excellent staff and facilities. So many different activities for the children to do every day to keep them entertained and learning. Children are tracked in terms of progress, and the communication from the nursery is excellent. Food choices are brilliant! My son is really coming on from attending here.
It is like a family, and nothing is too much effort! We wouldn’t send our son anywhere else!

I think it’s a friendly and lovely environment for my child. The staff are always friendly. And so far, my son really likes going, and he previously struggled in settling into the nursery, but this only took him a few weeks to overcome.

We have been with Sunnydale for 6-months now.
Our daughter loves it here and is also excited to go to nursery.
She did struggle with settling in at nursery due to being a Covid baby and not having the socialisation, but Sunnydale did all they could to get her to settle and went above and beyond
to work around our daughter.
All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always responsive and happy to answer any questions.
We love the outdoors element of this nursery, and we have seen such an improvement in our daughter's behaviour, learning and development.
We will be enrolling her sister here next month, and we would recommend Sunnydale.

Well... where do I begin!
What a wonderful nursery we have been lucky enough to live so close too!
One lady was fantastic when we were deciding where to take our daughter, during the middle of lockdown, she still let us come and see the setting and made us feel welcomed and comfortable.
When the
time came for our daughter to start nursery, she had a home visit and everything was explained to us, making us feel confident she was in good hands.
Our 17-month-old daughter has been attending Sunnydale nursery daily for six months now, and she absolutely loves it! Every single member of staff is friendly, welcoming, supportive and caring. Our daughter has made so much progress in the baby room, thanks to the members of staff she works with. We love the daily diary updates, the cheeky photos on our private Facebook page and seeing the joy and progress our daughter has made over the last six months. We could not imagine her attending anywhere else! Thank you, Sunnydale.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.506)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.506) out of 10 for Sunnydale Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 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 11 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 4.506 for Sunnydale Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.506
  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 Sunnydale Nursery is based on 11 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
