Review from Sarah P (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The staff are kind, patient and genuinely care about the children as individuals. Communication has always been thoughtful and supportive, and they take the time to really understand each child's needs.

I've been particularly grateful for how attentive and responsive the team have been when discussing my child's development. They've listened carefully to my concerns, shared their own observations openly, and worked collaboratively with me to make sure my child feels safe, supported and settled.

It's reassuring to know my child is in an environment where she is understood and cared for, and where early support and wellbeing are taken seriously. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from E B (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Sunflower Nursery in May at 9 months old in the baby room when I returned to work. I cannot speak highly enough of the team, they immediately made us feel welcome and the process of settling in was incredibly flexible and worked perfectly for us. She is so happy and gets so excited when we turn into the building. There is constantly new facilities being added and so many fun activities for her to do, she also absolutely loves the food and eats everything (and more) that they make. The team do the perfect balance of letting my daughter be adventurous and independent while ensuring that she is safe (a tricky task for a girl that likes to climb things and thinks she should be in preschool ages 15 months!). I am so pleased that I chose Sunflower Nursery, it has made the process of going back to work so much easier knowing that my little girl is having an absolute ball and is genuinely excited to go to nursery herself.

Our son started here a few months ago. The staff are always welcoming, providing us with updates on how he has been throughout the day, as well as photos of activities he has taken part in. The activities are well planned and inclusive for his age group. Highly impressed with the staff and management as they have eased our anxiousness by ensuring our son is happy and thriving within the nursery setting

Overall Experience

I have two children attending Sunflower and they started in 2023. The wraparound is really helpful. The staff are attentive and my children have advanced in their speech language and writing. They have other grown ups they rely on and as a single parent this is amazing to see.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery just over a year and let me tell you she absolutely loves it! I was initially very worried to send her as she is my first, but she loved it since induction day. The way she is loved there by each and every staff makes me feel so reassured that she is in good hands whilst I'm busy working. I would definitely recommend sunflower to every parent blindly as I have nothing but positive things to say about it. Well done to the lovely staff of Sunflower for providing such an environment where parents can leave their little ones with full reassurance, keep it up Sunflower Day Care and keep shining!!!

Overall Experience

An amazing nursery. My little one has been attending now for nearly a year. There is such a family feel to the nursery and all the staff are amazing. They love each of the children as if they are their own and are happy to make little changes to suit her needs/likes. The app is updated regularly with lovely pictures and I can always message/ring the staff and get a quick reply. The nursery are always building on their resources and seeking to grow and improve in any way they can too. I can't wait for my little one to play in the new garden.

Review from Shahd A (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It's been over a year since my son joined Sunflower Nursery, and it has been a great experience. He came here after a disappointing time at another nursery, but from the very first day, he quickly and smoothly settled in and enjoyed his time.
The activities at the nursery encourage him to explore and learn. We have truly seen him grow and building his confidence and social skills as a result. The team is incredibly kind and supportive, creating a warm and comfortable place for the children. They are truly amazing!
The nursery is also in a great location, right in the city center and very close to the train station.

Highly recommend it! :)

Review from Maizatul R (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the moment I walked into Sunflower Nursery, I was certain it was the perfect environment for my son’s development. Spotless, secure, and super kid-friendly, it had me at hello. The manager and the crew have this warm vibe that just feels like home. It's been a year and wow, my son's chatting up a storm and bouncing out the door to school every day. If you're on the hunt for a chill spot that’s safe and fun for your kids, this is it. Big shoutout to the manager and director for making Sunflower Nursery the amazing place it is.

Review from Adheesha L (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 3-year-old girl started nursery and daycare a few months ago and we are very much delighted and satisfied about the tender loving care she receives from her home away from home. Day by day she improves her confidence, gross and fine motor skills and many more. Most importantly, we are very pleased to see she enjoys playing with her friends when we go to pick her up in the evening. The manager, director and the entire staff are simply amazing. Thank you very much for taking care of my child and I highly recommend this lovely nursery for parents who are looking for a safe place for little minds to grow.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Sunflower since June and she absolutely loves it there! The staff are professional but friendly and it does feel like you are dropping off your child with family. The nursery is clean, spacious and very welcoming.

I am kept informed throughout the day of how my daughter's day is going, such as meals, sleep and nappy changes as well as photos of activities via an app which I find very helpful. I am also given further details when I pick her up. I am impressed with my daughter's development - she is coming on in leaps and bounds being at Sunflower, I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Omnia H (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Would highly recommend. An amazing day care, trusted and reliable care providers. Extremely lovely and caring. The staff take time to connect with each child.
At every visit the staff notify me with a lot of details about my son's day at the nursery. He comes home happy and well fed. He's 3 and is able to tell me about his day, he is always so excited to tell me that he had a great day and can't wait for the next day to play with his friends.
The day care provides a beautiful garden, a lot of play space and most importantly a beautiful connection with my son. I am so grateful to have such wonderful people to support my child while I go to work.

The prices are affordable and reasonable. The owners are so lovely. Thank you for being part of my son's growing mind and building amazing memories and experiences with him!

Review from Abdullah A (Father of Child) published on 7 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a parent, finding an ideal nursery for your child is crucial, and I am elated to share our wonderful experience at Sunflower Day Nursery. Over the past four years, this nursery has become a second home to my daughters, a place where they feel cherished and integrated. The staff at Sunflower Day Nursery are not just nice and kind; they genuinely care about each child's well-being and development. What stands out most is the patience and understanding of the staff. My daughters, along with other children, have never returned home upset or unhappy, which speaks volumes about the environment they create. A notable change occurred with the arrival of new owners. They are incredibly helpful and exhibit a remarkable flexibility in various matters, always putting the children's and parents' needs first. For any parents considering a joyful and safe environment for their child, I highly recommend Sunflower Day Nursery. It's a place where your child will thrive, feel loved.
