We couldn't be happier with our experience at Sunflower Nursery. From the moment we first visited, we felt welcomed and reassured. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the development and happiness of each child. Our child has flourished both socially and academically,
and it's clear that the nurturing environment and engaging activities have played a big part in that.
The daily communication is excellent - we always know what our child has been doing and learning, and the staff are always available to discuss any concerns. The setting itself is clean, safe, and full of creative resources that inspire curiosity and play.
Most importantly, our child absolutely loves going to nursery and often comes home excited to share what they've learned. We're truly grateful to have found such a supportive and enriching place for these important early years.
Highly recommend!

This Nursery is truly wonderful. They have looked after my son since he was 9 months and I can honestly day he is in the best hands. My son always screatches with excitement as we enter the gate of the nursery daily , because he's so happy to be there. He holds out his arms for his favourite auntie
as he has such a beautiful bond with her. The nursery workers [aunties] care for my son like he's thier own. As a new mum you always worry if they are happy and I know he's in the best place. They do so many activities also. Also the management there are brilliant and so approachable. When my son first started I was concerned he wasn't having enough nappy changes but they took my comments on board and never had any problems since . The listened and they all care. Most local nurseries have a bigger reputation but after viewing those I didn't feel they would care for my son. All the children in all classes always look so happy too. It has a great culture and community .

My daughter has been attending Sunflower Nursery for over a year now, and we've had a consistently positive experience. The staff are both professional and friendly, creating a warm and welcoming environment. Most importantly, my child is happy there, which gives me great peace of mind. I appreciate
the care and attention they provide every day-it's clear they genuinely enjoy working with children. I would highly recommend Sunflower Nursery to other parents looking for a nurturing and reliable place for their little ones.

Sunflower Nursery is just amazing. We have updates at every pick up, pictures of my kids on the app. The aunties are very friendly, qualified and always have time if I have any concerns about my children. I have been at Sunflower for the last four years and I have really enjoyed all the parties, Christmas
etc. Thank you Sunflower.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Sunflower Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.928 for Sunflower Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.928

  • b) 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 Sunflower Nursery is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
