Overall Experience

We could not be happier with our experience of this nursery. Our daughter loves going to nursery; she has grown in confidence and is more than ready to start school in September. She’s been well supported by not only her key workers but all the staff. Every morning we are greeted with a big welcoming smile from the staff, and I never worry about her being happy and looked after, even on days she might be a little off. The communication from the staff is brilliant and always positive; they are flexible and understanding too. My favourite thing about the nursery is the amount of effort that goes into making sure the children have different experiences, for example, exploring different cultures, trips to the park, road safety, visiting the library, swimming and football; they are always doing something new and exciting.

My four-year-old son has joined Sunbeam just for a couple of days to prepare him a bit more for reception in September. He gets the same amount of attention and support as a full-time kids. He loves the outside area and all the vehicles you have. Thanks.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter attended here from two years old, and after having such a bad experience at her previous nursery, I was nervous for her to start, but within a few weeks of her being there, she was so settled and thriving so much! The staff were very reassuring and helped her flourish and grow! I honestly couldn’t recommend the nursery enough, staff and management are a fabulous team!

Overall Experience
Completely amazing nursery - all the staff are fantastic and well-mannered, kind, caring and respectful towards all parents and children.

My daughter absolutely loves it here; she used to dislike leaving me in the morning but now walks straight in and comes home talking about her day with a huge smile on her face. She has progressed so well since starting nursery in all areas and is becoming very independent. I am very thankful to all the staff for all their hard work and support.

Overall Experience

We are so pleased that we found Sunbeams for our 2-year-old twins. Being lockdown babies, they were a bit nervous about new situations and people, so we were a bit unsure as to how they were going to take to be in a childcare setting. However, the lovely, friendly staff at Sunbeams have helped them to settle in really well, and we have seen our twins thrive and learn so much in the past few weeks. Our twins love going to nursery, and we feel really reassured that they are safe and happy at Sunbeams.

Overall Experience

My child attended Sunbeams Nursery in Shipley from 11 months until she started school at age 4. I can't rate the nursery highly enough. I always felt my child was safe, happy, and nurtured by staff, delighting in her achievements. Staff are nurturing and go over and above. Lots of fun activities throughout the year and regular visits to the park and library. Lovely setting with a lot of thought and care put into the play areas and rooms.

Review from E W (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended this 'nursery' for 6 months. They didn't pick up his autism, they left him playing on his own, not knowing where he was on more than one occasion at pick up. They shared confidential health information with my son's grandparents, which although they knew about, the 'nursery' doesn't know this.
The manager is totally unprofessional and argued with me over email and then told my next-door neighbour confidential information about me and my son.
I've since spoken to parents at my son's school who had similar issues!

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child started at Sunbeams last August when he was 11 months, and due to the lockdown, he was very attached to myself, so I was very nervous about choosing the right nursery for him. When we went to go look around Sunbeams, I could instantly tell how well the children were cared for. Also, the baby room is also the whole of the top floor comprising of a physical room, a calm room and an activity room, which I also loved. He did a couple of settling-in visits, and by the end of his first week, there were no tears. He attends mornings only, and while I'm at work, I will often get 2-3 updates/observations via the app updating me about all the exciting things he has been learning that day. You also get a sheet at the end of each session, which states how many nappy changes, how much he has eaten and what he's been doing that morning. He is about to start in the toddler room soon, and I can't thank the staff enough in the baby room for all they have done for him.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery! My son started when he was 10 months and has come along leaps and bounds over the last year and a half. He loves going to the nursery and has a great bond with all staff members. His development and confidence have also come along, which nursery has a huge part towards. Would highly recommend - all staff are friendly, and it feels like one big family.

This nursery has been a home-from-home safe place for all three of my grandchildren.
They have grown, nourished and thrived in this place through the commitment and hard work of the staff.

Management and staff always go above and beyond, and we have 100% trust in their structure and ethics.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a great nursery. Everyone is so helpful and kind. My youngest joined when she was 9 months old. I was worried that it wasn't going to be as personal as a childminder, but everyone was great, and the results are brilliant; she has really thrived here. She is now confident and outgoing. The kids make such a connection to the staff, which is great to see. One of my children has just left to go to school, and she will miss everyone so much. She loved her pear patch and everyone in it, and they made sure she was ready to move up to school, which has made the transition so easy for us all.

Thank you, Sunbeams.

My little girl has been going here since March, and she has come on leaps and bounds with her manners, sharing, eating and her talking. She's constantly singing her nursery songs and is so excited to go to nursery now. They have an amazing team who are so caring and always has smiles on their faces. I 10000% recommended Sunbeams Nursery!
