Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are truly wonderful. They have played such an important role in helping my son develop and thrive during his time at nursery. When he first joined at two years old, it was a struggle to get him settled. However, 2.5 years later, he absolutely loves it. He has settled in really well and has
developed so much, and it's clear to see that this is thanks to the amazing Aunties. Amazing management and staff team!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child is 3years old. After joining Sunflower Nursery, his speech is massively improved. Now he can say sentences and express his needs. His fine motor and gross motor skills are remarkably improved. Before, he was struggling in most of the areas. Nursery is very flexible too, as I am a working parent.
All the staff is very professional and caring. My child loves being here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child attends The Sunflower Nursery and honestly couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are incredible kind, patient, professional and supportive, and they genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. I've seen great progress in my child overall development, confidence
and independence and speech. The environment is safe, nurturing and welcoming, and communication with parents is always clear/reassuring. I am truly grateful for the team for the support not only my child has received, but also myself.

My daughter started Sunflower at 6 months. Her development has been amazing compared to my son at that age. The staff are really friendly and approachable. It's like her second family. I couldn't thank them enough for the time and effort they put into her.

Sunflower has been a fantastic transition for my daughter who previously went to a childminder. She has developed so much and grasped new concepts. She is talking more confidently and has met many milestones. I am very happy with the nursery and the care provided.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is new and fresh, there is great parking facilities for parents and amazing outdoor space for the children. Another reason why I went with sunflower was that they had children sized toilets and not adult toilets where children have to use steps or additional toilet seats. They have thought
of all the little things to keep the babies and children safe and happy.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Sunflower Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.980 for Sunflower Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.98
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunflower Nursery is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
