Our son has been attending for a month now and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice of nursery for him. Everyone we have met has made such a special effort to help him settle in well and help the transition of what could have been a difficult time. The team in the Fledglings room are incredibly kind and patient. The nursery host events & keep you informed which has helped us already feel like part of the community and shows their genuine care and compassion for what they do. Couldn't recommend Little Robins enough!
Thank you so much for this lovely review that we will share with our nursery team. We are so happy that your son has settled so well at Little Robins Nursery!
We immediately signed him up and haven't regretted a thing. The initial start was hard (as it would be anywhere for any parent) but we knew he was safe, cared for and would flourish and we weren't wrong.
6 months on and he's coming on in leaps and bounds and actually reaching out for the room staff when we arrive in the morning.
Thank you for all your hard work, we do appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your lovely review - it really is appreciated. We know how hard it is to leave your most precious baby in a nursery for the first time, but the team really do work so hard to make them feel loved and cherished - and are always available for parents too - especially during those initial settling in weeks.
Our daughter joined Bobbins Nursery in April 2025 after leaving her childminder who only had 4 children. This was a big change for our daughter one we were anxious about as she didn't deal well with being left without us. She has grown leaps and bounds since joining Bobbins and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. The learning they cover, the friends she has made and the teachers / carers are all absolutely incredible. Can only speak highly of this nursery!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased your daughter settled so quickly and is so happy to be with us at Little Robins Nursery!
The staff are warm and welcoming, and the range of lessons and activities is second-to-none.
There is a high level of discipline but it is delivered with such kindness, care and overall enjoyment that the children demonstrate high levels of respect for their teachers whilst having the most wonderful time.
The facilities and equipment are great and always improving/being added to.
My little girl has blossomed since she came here, grown in confidence and learnt so much.
I can't recommend Little Robins Nursery enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your kind words really mean the world to our caring and dedicated nursery team. We really appreciate this and we are thrilled that your daughter is so happy at Little Robins!
Such a great nursery!
I feel safe leaving my child in the morning as I know everyone is taking good care of him and he is happy there.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased your son is so happy and enjoys all the indoor and outdoor activities - I will be sure to pass on your comments to the nursery team, and to our Head Gardener.
Our son enjoys going in and despite a few tears, goes towards the staff for comfort when we drop him off.
Very happy 2-year-old on pick up, and always has a thorough rundown of his day on collection.
We are so glad that your son is settling so well, and is very happy on pick up. It is lovely having him at Little Robins Nursery.
Our son has attended Little Robbins for around 8 weeks now. The staff are really attentive and caring, and there is so much for him to do. They take the children outside every day and we receive regular updates and pictures. The food is varied and nutritious and they cater for his dairy allergy without any issue. We are really happy with the nursery and our son loves it!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad that your son has settled so well at Little Robins Nursery and loving it! We love having him too!
There is a really big family feeling which is so important to know your little ones will be cared for lovingly with nurturing staff. The curriculum offers a vast rich abundance of subjects to keep everyone's minds engaged and growing into wonderful young adults. Couldn't recommend more.
Thank you for your lovely review! Community is so important to us at Little Robins Nursery so we are so pleased that you love the big family feel here at Sunninghill. We will pass your kind words to the nursery team!
Our 2.5-year-old daughter has been attending Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill Prep School for nearly two months, and we are thrilled with the progress she's made in such a short time. We've observed significant improvements in her language and vocabulary, a testament to the care and attention the teachers provide. The variety of activities offered at Little Robins is exceedingly impressive for a nursery. Specialist teachers provide music and PE lessons. Dedicated and caring staff and excellent facilities aside, what truly impresses us is the open, transparent, and regular communication between the teachers and parents. We felt warmly welcomed from day one and receive daily updates, both in person and through dedicated apps, keeping us informed about our daughter's activities and progress. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Robins Nursery at Sunninghill and look forward to watching our daughter grow and develop in this nurturing environment.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We are so pleased that your daughter is so happy and thriving with us at Little Robins Nursery. I will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to the staff team as these will be very much appreciated.
Our boy absolutely loves the nursery and chats happily about his learning adventures both indoors and outside on the beautiful grounds or on a trip to the local library and parks. The activities are varied, inspiring and fun, set within a very safe and nurturing environment. All the nursery and reception staff are excellent and friendly; the children in both classes integrate well together in afternoons occasionally for Let’s Explore which our boy really enjoys. We’ve noticed a boost in his confidence, great friendships forming and lots of compassion. We highly recommend the Nursery at Sunninghill, it is a really lovely springboard to school life.
Thank you for this lovely review - I know our nursery team will love to read this. Compassion is one of Sunninghill's values and is so important to us here. It is lovely to hear how your son is growing in confidence and developing great friendships too.
The nursery has a warm and homely feel to it and the school grounds and facilities are excellent. We love that nursery and reception share learning time together as this would allow for a seamless transition later on. The school has a wonderful family-centred ethos and really takes a holistic approach to providing a well-rounded education. My daughter loves attending nursery and we can't praise both the nursery and reception staff enough!
Thank you for taking the time to give our nursery such a wonderful review. We are delighted that your daughter is so happy with us and we are very proud of our family-centred ethos. I will pass your lovely comments to our nursery team!
Sunninghill Nursery is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. From day one they have made us feel very welcome and our son settled into nursery so quickly. He loves coming in every day and I always find him happy at the end of the day which is absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on him. The range of activities the children are involved in is excellent and I have always found the nursery staff to be very communicative and the admin team so efficient. Every morning and afternoon you are greeted with smiling faces and people here really do seem to love their jobs. You do feel you are part of a very big family here. Sunninghill is a very special place.
Thank you so much for your very kind words - it really is so appreciated. I will share your lovely review with our nursery team. We are so glad that your son has settled in so quickly with us - he always seems very happy here! We agree - Sunninghill really is a very special place!
The nursery is within school grounds but has its own separate entrance and gated outdoor play area. We really like the safety this provides.
The children have access to the school facilities, including the swimming pool, large private grounds and play area to run around in.
There are many enrichment activities and lessons like music and gardening. The school head gardener is just fantastic, and the children learn so much from her.
It has been great to see our son flourish in nursery, and it really is owing to the wonderful teachers.
We would highly recommend Sunninghill Nursery.
We agree - our Head Gardener is wonderful and shares all her wisdom with such patience and kindness - and develops a real love of gardening in our children from a very young...
We transferred our son to Sunninghill in October 2022 after having a bad experience with another local nursery. He loved Sunninghill from day one, and we could not be happier with our decision. Since then, he has developed so much in all aspects. The staff is so lovely and caring and made his time in the nursery extremely pleasant. We would recommend Sunninghill to anyone, and some of our friends have started here already. Don't hesitate if you want to join.
That is such a lovely review, Dilek! Thank you so much! It is so lovely to hear how much your son loved nursery with us and how happy he was from day one. Thank you also for recommending us to your friends!
Such a wonderful entry to the “schooling” experience. Without doubt, the best decision we’ve made.
Thank you so much for your amazing review. It is so lovely to hear how much your daughter enjoyed her time in nursery with us. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. I will pass your lovely feedback to the team.
We decided to relocate from London to Dorchester and enrolled my son into Sunninghill as we relocated. My son has been loving it! Every staff member has been so welcoming and the whole community is so warm and friendly. Best decision.
Thank you for your kind words! It is lovely to have your son with us in nursery - and fantastic that he is loving his time with us!
A wonderful nursery in a picturesque setting. The staff are caring and engaging. The children are given a broad education and are regularly taken on trips outside the school grounds. Highly recommended!
What a lovely review! Thank you so much for your recommendation! The children certainly enjoy all their trips out!
We could not be happier with Sunninghill Nursery since joining in September, the staff are so wonderful with the children and create a nurturing and welcoming environment. The nursery has its own area and lovely outside space but it also uses many of the facilities the school has to offer. Since he started we have been invited into the Nursery many times to attend events such as Harvest Festivals and Nativities and it is wonderful that they are involved with everything the school puts on. My son loves the home-cooked lunches and snacks he receives every day and we receive excellent communication from the staff about all they get up to. The activities on offer each day are brilliant and include music, French, sport, gardening plus all the wonderful trips they take them on. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that your son is so happy at Sunninghill - he has settled so well and is absolutely delightful. We will be sure to pass your kind words on to all our nursery staff. Thank you!
