Sunhill Day Nursery Colchester

My daughter started in September 2019 and since starting her confidence has increased tenfold. She loves going and has made some lovely friends. The staff are lovely, caring and we have has so much support. It has a wonderful atmosphere and my daughter has had an amazing time.

My daughter has been going to the Preschool since September 2019 and has settled in really well, much better than one anticipated. She looks forward to going and talks positively about her days there. She has made lots of new friends and gets on with all the staff. We are very happy and satisfied with the care she receives.

The nursery is a great location with wonderful resources but the best attribute of Sunhill is the staff. My son has attended for nearly two years and knows all the staff members names - and they know his, which is lovely and has a family feel. The varied, homecooked meals are also brilliant and enjoyed. The girls run the nursery so well and are always really helpful with any questions or queries I have. I have recommended Sunhill to other parents and will continue to.

The nursery staff are wonderful. Unfortunately, they and the parents are extremely disappointed since it changed hands. The fees are absolutely disgusting. My daughter attends breakfast and after school club (until 4.45 pm) but they now charge parents until 6 pm regardless of whether they are picked up before then. I am now in a worse financial position than when my daughter attended a nursery for a whole day. The menu they give to the children is awkward and not catered for children (olives, salmon etc) things that children do not eat! At the end of a long day, children want the comfort of a good meal like sausage mash and veg, pizza, spag bol - foods that delight their taste buds, not repel them. We have also been informed that they will now remove their snack which they get once they arrive after school, expecting children to go from 12 until 4 pm without eating anything, not even a piece of fruit, yet they are still charging the parents the same.

We are really pleased both with the nursery for our two-year-old and also with the breakfast/after school club. The staff are all lovely and really helpful. Both my children really like going and we really feel that they both get a lot out of attending! The quality of the care of the children and the facilities are great.

Great facilities and lovely, welcoming and friendly staff. My son has settled in better than I can imagine. I have had a lot of support with toilet training.

Excellent experience. Professional room leaders who permanently care about the children. This nursery setting has provided a fun environment for my toddler to meet lots of new friends and to prepare for school. Excellent preschool and prepping for school, and a very good relationship with local schools where children have formed a relationship with their prospective teacher.

Our son has had a lovely experience at the nursery. He speaks fondly of it and has made some great friends there. The staff are very warm and welcoming and provide a great environment in which to care for the children. Our son talks about the staff positively and loves the activities he is involved in. He adores the outside space and spends a large portion of his time there. It is a lovely bright and open space. Overall, we are very happy with his care.

A lovely nursery with very friendly and caring staff. A happy place for children to thrive.
