Review from Yasmin g (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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)
The nursery overall gives such a loving family feel to it, and I would be happy to recommend it to anyone showing interest :)

Both of our children are at Sunnybank in the preschool and main nursery and have been for a few years now. The staff are calm and caring and take great care to meet the needs of the children in their care. The team are receptive to feedback and action any necessary changes with urgency.


The children

are happy and excited to come to nursery every day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Review from Jennifer H (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child had previously been at another nursery but due to a house move we needed a new 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.
We would thoroughly recommend Sunnybank!

Review from Ruth P (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
We would like to pass on a huge 'Thank you' to all the staff at Sunnybank who continue to be such an important and valuable part of our grandchild's life.

Review from F S (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Review from A G (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!
Reply from Christine Law, Manager at Sunnybank Day NurseryThankyou so much for your amazing review of our Nursery!

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!

Can't recommend Sunnybank Nursery enough. Our overall experience with everyone there has been lovely, so friendly and reassuring.
Our little one loves attending and has flourished since starting there. It is lovely to know that while there he's cared for, stimulated and challenged.
We also particularly
love how it feels very homely and personal. A home away from home.
The staff there honestly do such an amazing job!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Sunnybank Day 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.950 for Sunnybank Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.95
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunnybank Day Nursery is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
