The funniest (and slightly heartbreaking!) part is that she is sometimes upset when I come to pick her up. Which, as a parent, is both reassuring and mildly insulting! It definitely reassures me that she is happy, comfortable, and very well looked after while she's there.
Whenever I ask her about nursery, she always says she loves it, and she is constantly looking forward to Monday so she can go back. I'm not sure whether she's more excited to see her friends, the staff, or simply to get away from her parents for a few hours!
The staff are lovely, caring and attentive, and it's clear that they genuinely care about the children. Knowing that my daughter is happy, settled and excited to go to nursery gives me great peace of mind.
We're very happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it to other parents!
Great care for my son who loves attending the nursery and has done so for the past year. He has great relationships with the staff, who are always helpful and informative. They also are flexible for adding extra days when you may need, depending on ratios, which is particularly helpful for school...
Great care for my son who loves attending the nursery and has done so for the past year. He has great relationships with the staff, who are always helpful and informative. They also are flexible for adding extra days when you may need, depending on ratios, which is particularly helpful for school holidays if you are term time only.

I honestly couldn't recommend Sunbeams Nursery enough. Since Theo started in the baby room in 2024 he has come on leaps and bounds and we cannot believe that he leaves next year to go to reception. We know he will be more than ready to go thanks to the staff in pear patch! We love that he gets to...
I honestly couldn't recommend Sunbeams Nursery enough. Since Theo started in the baby room in 2024 he has come on leaps and bounds and we cannot believe that he leaves next year to go to reception. We know he will be more than ready to go thanks to the staff in pear patch! We love that he gets to enjoy extra activities at nursery like football and swimming which he none stop talks about. He's well fed at nursery with lots of yummy home cooked meals.
The staff of Sunbeams are very caring, compassionate and hardworking. My child had the best team while at Sunbeams. She made a very good impression on her first day at school because she received exceptional training at Sunbeams. My family and I are very grateful for them and we applaud them for...
The staff of Sunbeams are very caring, compassionate and hardworking. My child had the best team while at Sunbeams. She made a very good impression on her first day at school because she received exceptional training at Sunbeams. My family and I are very grateful for them and we applaud them for their kindness, sensitivity and beautiful heart. I am very confident that my child will be an excellent pupil at her new school. Thank you very much Sunbeams!! You are PHENOMENAL!!
He learned and improved so much since joining and he is now a confident little man.
He became fond and relaxed with and around the staff, and not just in his room!

He became fond and relaxed with and around the staff, and not just in his room!
The managerial team is clearly quite involved with the children, which for me as a parent is a very positive experience!
There is plenty for the children to do, with outdoor and indoor play areas and regular external trips to the local Library or Park.
I definitely recommend Sunbeams Nursery and as I mentioned above, we are sad to go!
Harvey still currently attending Sunbeams. All I can say is how proud I am of Harvey for how he has come on. And so grateful and proud of the staff who have supported him and us as a family. Without nursery we as a family wouldnt be getting the support we need and the girls are so great with Harvey...

Sunbeams is a lovely nursery and we're very happy with the service they provide. The staff are exceptional, friendly, caring and very understanding of our son's extra needs. They were quick to identify additional ways to support him and are constantly adapting to help get the best out of him; tailoring focused learning sessions to his special interests and exploring different approaches to his behaviours. We really appreciate everything they do for him. The meals are great too, and again they are very flexible with our child's preferences to make sure he has a good feed. Everyone at Sunbeams is passionate about what they do, and children are treated as individuals, not just a number. The setting is great too, with lots of equipment for physical, creative and academic activities, and quiet/sensory spaces to cater to all needs. Activities, toys and equipment are regularly updated to maintain engagement and pace of learning, and we're seeing great progress in our son's development.

Our daughter is leaving nursery soon to start at primary school and we are going to miss Sunbeams so much! We highly recommend this nursery and we think they have provided excellent early years education for our child and useful updates for parents. They are helpful, supportive, creative, diverse, provide lots of activities, but above all - amazing staff who have such a positive impact on our daughter. Thank you so much!

Sunbeams is absolutely fantastic. All of the staff are friendly, warm and enthusiastic. They all know every child by name. There's a really lovely relaxed, community feel to the nursery. The outdoor space is small but utilised well. There's a ball pool which my son loves.
All the staff are happy to answer any questions. They worked with us around potty training and dropping nap. They also encourage the children to develop life skills and prepare for school e.g. queuing to wash hands before meals.
The one negative I would say is that there are a few typos/ errors in the induction paperwork and some written communication. I'm mentioning as it may put people off but shouldn't.
Another positive is that management are responsive and communicative. We had questions around billing which were explained promptly. We really rate Sunbeams and would recommend
My son has been going to this nursery since January and he's come along so well to when he first started the staff are brilliant with working close with him to help with his wants and needs and working close aside me to help assess his sen needs..

The team has been fantastic with him! They've been welcoming him and reassuring him so that he could feel more confident.
He's progressing so much since, he's becoming more and more autonomous, and he's learning words and skills.
The team also helps him to develop his logic and his creativity, as he's part French, the team makes the effort to say a few words in French which is really appreciated.
I know he's safe at Sunbeams and it's one of the most important things as a parent.
I'm really happy with all the work the team is doing, and my son he's so happy too.

Our daughter has now been attending Sunbeams for over three years and has been in all three rooms. She continues to thrive and absolutely loves the nursery and the friends she has made there. The staff are all incredibly friendly and supportive and have been really helpful with the issues we've had with toilet training. I'm sure our daughter will be devastated to leave when it's time for her to start school, but we've already decided to stick with Sunbeams for her sibling due in the summer, so we look forward to another three years of working with the manager and all the girls!
Our experience with Sunbeam Nursery has been extraordinary. Our girls that currently go there genuinely love all their key workers and staff. Their time is packed full of learning and fun activities. Our girls explain how much they love nursery. They want to go on their day off just to see their...
As parents who work full time, it is nice to know that they're in safe hands when you're not with them.
As parents, we also get support from the manager in relation to funding, holidays, etc.
What a lovely nursery, with great staff, facilities that will teach kids, a great support network, and a fun place to be.
