Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves attending The Shack in the school holidays. Her days are packed with brilliant activities, having fun and making friends. I only work in the mornings but usually book her in for a full day, including a cooked dinner, because she never wants to leave.
I’ve always been a rather anxious
mum, and very rarely leave her with anyone, but I feel totally at ease when she’s there, as the staff are just amazing, and I know she’s having the best time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son moved from Preschool to school in September after being at Sunnydale Nursery since the Baby Room. We now use The Sunnydale Shack at Sunnydale Nursery for after school and school holiday care.
My son loves attending and looks forward to seeing children who he has known for years.
For us, it’s
flexible care to fit our needs with a great team of staff, lots of great activities, access to the great outdoors and a lot of fun to be had.
Highly Recommended!

Absolutely fantastic, and my son loves it there; I wouldn't have him anywhere else. He loves all his teachers and his friends. He loves it and always tells me about his day. Thank you to each and everyone one of you.

I was recommended Sunnydale Nursery by a lot of friends and family! When I went to visit, I knew my little boy would love it. He loves to go and never hesitates to say bye-bye to me! Cannot fault the staff; they’re amazing, always smiling and happy to see the children come in! Wouldn’t look elsewhere
for my little boy to go!

Great variety of activities for them to do, we wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Absolutely fantastic nursery, my little girl loves it and the staff are so friendly, even the ones who aren't in her room know her name. Have no worries whatsoever when I drop her off, and I know they are completely honest about the kind of day she has had and what she has or hasn't eaten. She has come
along so far since she started here in April last year, wouldn't dream of sending her anywhere else! Would and will recommend Sunnydale Nursery to all friends and family. Five stars. Would give more if I could!

My daughter started Sunnydale nursery in January this year in the baby room and she’s come on leaps and bounds. The staff are amazing with her and treat her like it’s her home from home. I wouldn’t want her to go anywhere else. I love the fact that she spends time out of the four walls of nursery doing
real-life things. 100% happy with my choice of picking this nursery.

Review from E B (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There were many reasons why we chose Sunnydale Nursery but our main focus was the need for our daughter to feel comfortable and secure in the environment we left her in when I returned to work. All of the staff are amazing at what they do, their experience and passion for caring for children shines
clearly through all rooms. The children play outside as much as they can, they go shopping, they go to the park, they go on field trips, they walk to the library, they bake, they take part in Forest Schools, they do everything we would do if we were not working and we love that. Watching our daughter develop into the sassy, confident, warm and kind child that she is has been a joy to see and we know that Sunnydale Nursery has played a huge part in her development. Our son also attends The Shack after school for two days a week and he loves it. If you are considering a nursery place for your child we cannot recommend Sunnydale Nursery enough, it truly is a home away from home.

My son has been attending this nursery for over a year now. He has really excelled with his behaviour and has enjoyed interacting with the staff and other children in the various activities they do. Lovely nursery, I would recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Sunnydale Nursery since last year and really wouldn't have him anywhere different. He had a rocky start and was so upset but the staff are amazing and make him feel so welcomed and safe. He has come on leaps and bounds he has learnt so much in so little time, comes home singing
different nursery rhymes every day smiling from ear to ear. The staff have so much time for each individual child and really get to know each child to the best they can. The activities that are put on daily for the children to do are all fun but so much for them to learn as well along the way. It's nice that so much effort is put in to make sure the children are having fun and enjoying everything they do, yet learning so much as well along the way. I really wish I had put my son into Sunnydale Nursery from a younger age, as he has come on so much since starting here. 5* rating all the way for Sunnydale.

My nearly 3-year-old son came to Sunnydale from a previous setting and has settled in brilliantly. He goes running in with a smile on his face when the staff say good morning. He has made progress in the 4 months he has been there which is astonishing with the time scale. The staff are lovely, friendly
and caring towards the children and parents. I could not ask for a better nursery for my child. Fingers crossed that my son will make more progress and reach more milestones whilst being at Sunnydale in the coming years.

When choosing a nursery for our two-year-old son, we knew immediately when we stepped through the door at Sunnydale that it would be the right environment for him to thrive. The staff are all lovely and you can tell that they truly care about the children. We love getting updates when we collect him
about what he's been up to. They track his progression and development and take the time to explain this process to us. My little boy loves to be outside and exploring. Sunnydale not only allow this but actively encourage it. Our son's curiosity and language skills have improved no end since he started at the beginning of this year.

Fantastic nursery with fantastic staff. My child loves going and has learnt so much from attending. Nothing is too much for the girls that work there and each one of them has been amazing with my child. I can’t thank the manager enough for all she has done for me and my child. The nursery itself is
brilliant as it’s clean, safe and I have no concerns at all when leaving my child there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children now attend Sunnydale Nursery. My son, now age 4 and a half started back when the nursery opened and was in the pre-school room until starting school in September, he now attends the shack in school holidays and after school. Our daughter aged 1 started 3/4 months ago and is in the
baby room. We can’t praise this place enough, the lovely home from home feel they have, with the genuine love and care they show to both of our children. My son loves it here and so does my daughter now. They really have done so well by them. I wouldn’t want them anywhere else whilst we are at work! I always recommend the nursery to friends and family when people ask what nursery is good etc even on social media. I would always recommend Sunnydale Nursery to anyone and everyone. If you're wanting a loving, caring, second family feel with a beautiful setting and great security, then this is the place to have your children in! The manager has an amazing team of people working for her and that is what compliments the place so well.

My granddaughter attended the nursery and now the after school care. She loves going and she thoroughly enjoys the activities and mixing with the other children. All of the staff are extremely welcoming, always helpful and happy and they provide a warm, welcoming and fun learning environment for every
child.

An absolutely fantastic nursery and I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else. They have attended now for eight months and were made to feel welcome from day one.
The staff promote learning through fun activities and I believe my children have excelled under their guidance. My children enjoy
every day they attend and always have stories to tell me about their day and what they got up. This place is like home from home, they really are a second family. I would recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their children to nursery.

Such an amazing nursery, little one loves it here and always tells me on our way home what a good day she has had. First nursery we ever looked at and we didn’t need to look at any others as we new from then it was perfect for our daughter. Staff are all lovely and friendly and couldn’t wish for a better
nursery.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. My little girl started in September and she found it quite difficult to settle, however, the staff went above and beyond to make her feel welcome and to help settle her in. All the staff are absolutely amazing and so lovely. They are like a second family to
her and it’s so lovely to see the bond they all share.

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.
