Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

My 2yo son joined the nursery in December after being at another nursery for over a year that we left after a job change.
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

Overall Experience

My son has been at sunbeams for over a year now and his confidence is developing more and more each day he attends! All the staff are so lovely too which is a massive bonus! I get regular updates and pictures of what he's up to in nursery. The care they give him never goes unnoticed and the food is

10/10 and fresh each and everyday. Also a very good balanced diet! The activities that are set out each day are incredible too

Review from Celine F (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at Sunbeams in May 2024, as we moved he had to readapt to this new nursery.
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.

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Jay D (Mother of Child) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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 key

workers and other kids in their class.
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.

My son absolutely loves Sunbeams. He walks in with a big smile on his face in the morning and is always very happily playing when I pick him up. The staff are all really lovely and I can tell they've got to know my son and his interests really well and have supported him to grow so much over the past

year.

Overall Experience

My 2.5-year-old has been really settled at nursery. He has a good relationship with his key worker and talks about her and his friends at home and sings songs he has learned there. Nursery staff have been really supportive of potty training and give a really clear handover at the end of each session.

Overall Experience

My son has come on so much since he started a year ago, especially since going into the plum room his speech has come on so much. He loves the football he plays. Every time he's happy to see one lady in particular every time we arrive big smiles every time. His key workers are really great with telling

him they tell us everything he has done for the day, even uploading pictures for us to see. Overall the best nursery.

Review from Catherine P (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son has recently transitioned from half days to full days with no problems. With my son still breastfeeding, I was nervous this would not be the case but the staff kept him stimulated and entertained all day. He is extremely active, climbs a lot, and needs to always be doing something whether that's

figuring something out or being mentally stimulated which the staff at Sunbeams are excellent at doing. He's coming on leaps and bounds and so happy he's in a place that encourages him and keeps him safe!

We've had both our children attend Sunbeams so been with them since the first covid lockdown when my daughter was 10 months old, and it is a really great nursery. Love the staff, the activities, and the care they provide and my children have loved being there. Would recommend it to anyone who is thinking

of nurseries for their children!

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to SunBeams for 2 years now, with 15 free hours spread over Weds, Thurs, and Fridays, Sunbeams was more than accommodating with this for us. He has been in the Plum Patch and now in the Pear Patch. He loves his time there and has come out of his shell so much. We love sunbeams!

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, with lovely and attentive staff. My two children settled in so quickly and enjoy attending. When we drive past on off days, they shout "Sunbeams!".
The soft play facilities and pet guinea pigs make it a really special nursery. My children enjoy the food and daily activities, as well

as the extra curricular activities like swimming and football.

Overall Experience

All the girls are amazing at sunbeams!
They ensure all children are safe and happy while in their care. The support they offer to parents is more than expected!
I have 2 children who attend Sunbeams Nursery, both in different rooms and I am more than happy with the two key workers my children have

they are both amazing girls are answer all of my questions about my children.
Both of my children come home each day so happy and that is heart warming knowing they are having fun as well as learning whilst in Sunbeam Care.
The manager and the deputy manager are so amazing when it comes to queries within the nursery, they have supported me as a parent several times and I could not thank them enough!
I could not think of a better nursery to send my children! All of the girls who work at Sunbeams work very hard to ensure all of the children are meeting their needs and giving them a little push if needed.
