Sunhill Day Nursery Colchester

The staff are very attentive and always happy to help.

The school provides a venue for learning and supports children in developing a positive behavioural attitude.

Friendly, helpful and supportive of development. Always gives thorough information on my child’s activities. Supportive of a vegan diet. My 17-month-old looks forward to going and can be left without crying (eventually!) very big deal for me as she’s a koala baby!

All the staff at the nursery are always so friendly and helpful. My son has come on leaps and bounds and is learning so much from all the activities they do and the support they give him. I would recommend Sunhill Day Nursery to any parents with young children who want peace of mind that their child is well cared for.

He absolutely loves playing outside in the garden, has a regular nap pattern and eats well whilst at nursery.

The only opportunity is to have organic milk/food. I think organic milk is at a bare minimum.

My children are really happy at Sunhill, thanks to the amazing team!

The free-flow garden is a great way for the children to build their confidence and choices. The room is lovely and spacious to explore different toys/resources. We are very happy with the care he receives.

The staff are amazing - every person says hello to my little girl and knows her by name (they do all the children) whether they work in her room or not. They encourage children, they are nurturing, and they are all so good at what they do. Thank you for everything, Sunhill.

Always very helpful and supportive to my daughter, who took quite a long to settle. I really appreciated the way they helped her (and even me) to go through this. Now she enjoys her time in the nursery, having new friends and learning new things.

My sons are both at this nursery, and I can only say a big thank you to everyone! They are very well cared for, the staff are patient and kind, and they feel loved. They have learned lots of new things since they started attending, and they are sad to go home when I come to collect them. I recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

My daughter has been at this nursery for 1.5 years now, and we have seen her blossom, both socially and in her hard skills. She has picked up words, ways of communicating, and a fantastic attitude from her time there, and she very obviously enjoys being with all of the carers and staff there.

Always made myself and my child feel welcome and very accommodating when it is needed, especially if I have needed extra hours; they try their best to do this. The staff clearly care a lot about the children! And my son has built some amazing relationships with them. He’s come on leaps and bounds since being at Sunhill. Thank you, everyone!

My daughter joined Sunhill in Feb 2022 and she is very happy to go to nursery every day. The staff in sunbeam really makes the settling in as smooth as possible. If needed, cuddles are provided. Since joining, my daughter has become a confident and independent girl. Thank you, sunbeam team.

Very nice staff and management. Keeps us well informed of our little ones' progress. They are very caring and considerate as well. My little one loves going to this nursery. Lots of places to explore and run around, plenty of activities, etc. I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends.

All members of staff, including the management team, have been amazing in helping my son to grow in confidence, encouraging him to make new friends, explore and to try new things. They continue to be a great support throughout his time in the setting.

The staff, and the whole team, in general, are very friendly and also glad about everything surrounding the growth and development of my child.

He has a great relationship with all staff members.

You need to re-consider your communications with parents on matters around pay. It is not ideal that you threaten parents that their child may lose its place or will not be accepted to the building if the parent has missed a payment by a day by mistake. You should pick up the phone or send a reminder and try to have a conversation. Please check the way you issue invoices as it is not easy to follow changes to the invoices mid-month and it is confusing.

Great after school club. Friendly staff. Lots of different activities. My son has bonded with all staff, but especially one member. My son has had some emotional difficulties, and staff have been very supportive and taken him aside to talk to. I appreciate this a great deal and feel happy he is getting the best care at the after school club.
