Sunflower Seed Preschool and Before and After School Care

so helpful and make everything so much fun. Both girls have learnt so much there. Staff keep you very well informed on how your child's day has been and what they got up to. There are always fun activities and great themes. They have a lovely outdoor space and enjoy the field too. They have great connections with the school, story time with the reception teacher to let them get to know each other in advance and being in the school grounds makes the transition to school much easier as they are familiar with it already. It is a clean, well-laid-out place with fun exciting setups each day for the children and so many varied things for them to choose and do. Overall I couldn't recommend them enough. They have been amazing for my girls and all of my friend's children too.

and all round fun for the children. The staff really take the pressure off, leaving your little one knowing they’ll have the utmost care and wonderful experience on their journey to ‘big school’. I wouldn’t use any other setting.

plenty of feedback regarding his development and needs. The staff are all friendly and the management team are engaging. I have no doubt that they put the children's needs at the forefront of the service they provide. A larger outdoor space would be great, but the staff do take opportunities to use the facilities around them.

staff member in particular has been an absolute shining star and has been such a massive part of the girls' lives, we will forever be grateful for the memories, experiences and care the girls have received. Thank you ladies for being so incredible at your jobs.

and caring people. I have never had any cause to worry while my daughter was in their care. She was assigned a key worker and they quickly got to know her and understood her needs, likes and dislikes. They've supported her interests and exposed her to new learning experiences. She loved going to pre-school!
Before starting I was able to speak to a manager about our parenting choices and these were respected within the setting too, something that a larger pre-school would have struggled to accommodate. We were given daily updates on activities, conversations and food intake which made the separation easier.
We can't recommend them enough and will hopefully send our son next year too.

and helpful. Can't recommend this nursery enough.

that he had at home where possible.
They also supported us with the potty training process using the sticker chart we had created to ensure there was consistency between the setting and home.
Staff are lovely with the children and think of great learning opportunities for the children.

adjacent school premises, which means that there is a level of continuity and joined-up care even after the children leave the preschool. This made my choices for afterschool care provision a no-brainer, as the staff still knew my son very well and made them (and me) feel at ease.
Afterschool care is brilliant; my son comes home having been fed a meal he likes, is happy having been entertained and engaged by the staff, and he just enjoys going to Sunflower Seeds. The close association with school means afterschool clubs can be taken, and the children picked up from school and cared for by Sunflower Seeds staff during standard working hours, without additional provision being required.

nervous, anxious and shy daughter can walk into the setting crying some mornings; however, every time she walks out the door at the end of the day, she has a massive smile on her face! I cannot recommend Sunflower enough!

my daughter. I love seeing all of the updates in photos and her development. Such a happy and positive place, and so glad that I made the decision to send my daughter to this preschool.

for and happy. You get regular updates with pictures too with updates on your child’s personal development. It is a fantastic place.

early years education as well as outstanding care with lots of love and cuddles thrown by the wonderful staff for good measure. I could not recommend this preschool more.

Amazing pre-school, outstanding staff and perfect location. I love everything about it!

an ‘amazing day’, we couldn’t ask for a better preschool for our son.

well he knows the routine they have established; for example, he wanders straight into the bathroom on arrival to wash his hands, pulling up his little sleeves as he goes. It is nice to see him so familiar and comfortable with the environment he is in. It is also a very inclusive setting and he knows everyone’s names and chats about them. We see the care and effort staff make to set up the room ready for the day and Tapestry is a great tool to share little snippets of their day with parents. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our son to be introduced to a fun learning environment.
