About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son has been attending Sunnybank now for a few months and it has been a lovely experience from day 1. I was really nervous at first, but the staff are so warm and welcoming, patient and understanding. My son has already formed some really amazing bonds there and loves to tell me about his day when I've collected him.
I love that the staff keep you updated on activities throughout the day with pictures on the tapestry app too! They offer a wide range of activities, inside and out and he's already coming home showing off new things he's learnt with friends and staff!
My son always comes home having had a nutritious homemade warm meal, snacks and drinks (they also cater well for specific dietary requirements which are discussed upon signing up)

Fantastic nursery full of staff who genuinely care about the children and do all they can to help them thrive and succeed. As a nursery they are always busy providing opportunities to celebrate events throughout the year. They really value outdoor learning and get out as much as they can. We love that they often take the children out to visit the farm across the road or go out for a walk.
Would highly recommend this nursery!

Staff at Sunnybank helped him settle straight away. They all know his name, tell me anecdotes about his day and have supported him in so many ways! When he comes home he tells us lots of stories about his day and his friends.
There are so many great outdoor opportunities for children at Sunnybank as well as events and plans for the children throughout the year.
We particularly appreciate the regular Tapestry updates and care diary function that is always used. As well as contact and updates from management who are always beyond helpful.

Our grandchild has been at Sunnybank nursery for four years now. All the staff, in each of the classes, are very professional. Their diligent care and attention to each child has ensured our grandchild has been happy, has had meaningful experiences and that his leaning has advanced in line with the Development Matters Areas of Learning.
Staff have always communicated fully and posted observations on Tapestry to keep us well-informed. We have been made to feel very welcome and included at all times.
Our grandchild is very happy at Sunnybank. He enjoys his time there and evidently feels loved and valued and safe.

Both of my children have attended this nursery over the past five years, with one still currently there, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care they've received. The staff are amazing - so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. One thing that really stands out is seeing so many familiar faces over the years; that consistency says a lot and makes such a difference. The staff create a warm, nurturing environment where both my children have felt safe, happy, and supported. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for exceptional childcare. Thank you for your hard work, care and dedication to the children you look after!

We have been with Sunnybank since my eldest started a few years ago. We have always been impressed with nursery and how well run and homely Sunnybank feels. Staff are friendly and approachable, handover is always very thorough and there is a warm community feel across the board. We have always felt our children have been very well cared for and feel like we could voice our concern should we ever have any (we haven't). We are especially grateful to staff being accommodating to our sometimes flexible shift working hours and they have stepped in to help us at last minute with childcare on several occasions which we really appreciate. All round excellent!

Both of my children attend Sunnybank and I cannot fault the care they receive. The staff are amazing, they are caring, kind, reliable and diligent. The communication has always been fantastic. The management team are brilliant and very approachable. My boys have made great relationships with their peers and all the staff, you can tell that the staff genuinely care about them. The staff have even been a shoulder to cry on for us as parents at times. Can't recommend this amazing nursery enough!

We also particularly love how it feels very homely and personal. A home away from home.
