My daughter has recently started at Sunnydale Nursery and I honestly couldn't be happier. The staff are absolutely wonderful, you can tell how much they truly care for each and every child as if they were their own. It's amazing how well they know the children, even noticing the smallest changes in behaviour and keeping parents updated to make sure everyone is happy and thriving. I have nothing but good things to say about Sunnydale. It's such a lovely, nurturing environment and I feel completely at ease knowing my daughter is so well looked after.

Best experience was the last day. I don't feel I could recommend coming here, personally I would try different settings for placements at different nurseries in the area. We wish them well and hopefully they'll improve their business model by becoming more professional and supportive to their customer base.

My little boy has recently started at Sunnydale and I've seen first hand just how outstanding the nursery & staff are. With my child only being 8.5 months old, I was incredibly wary of sending him to nursery as he was so little & still isn't able to communicate, but the care and attention the staff show him on a daily basis has shown me just how right a decision it was. In only a couple of weeks, the way his face lights up the minute he walks through the door has proven to me just how fun a time he has whilst at nursery. The regular updates I get through the day, to inform me of what he's been up to, are always a lovely bonus. Overall I'm incredibly happy in our choice to place our son at Sunnydale, the staff are brilliant and the baby room is perfect for curious little minds like his.

Would not recommend sending any child here. My child was neglected. Basic care not given, sat on a member of staff's knee, fell off and smacked her head on the wooden floor leaving a large bruise. How a 10 month old baby falls off a staff members knee is concerning. Repeated head bumps resulting in bruises and when raising your concerns being spoken to in a condescending manner and made to feel like your over reacting. Collecting her freezing cold to the point her fingers, toes and nose are red raw. Very unprofessional management and staff who have no thrive for what they do.

My daughter has been coming for over a year now and absolutely loves her time there and always shows us with the washing she brings home. The team is amazing and caring. It feels like they are part of the family at times. Couldn't ask for a better place to take my daughter.

My child loves going to nursery and loves all the staff. My child struggles with regulating her emotions and has improved gratefully by receiving support from the staff. She is always telling us how much fun she's having in nursery. The setting is a home from home and is so comforting for children.

Sunnydale Nursery is a wonderful place and my daughter loves attending. The school's location is wonderful and the staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. I love that my daughter attends Forest School and has so much fun outside. I wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Sunnydale is an exceptional nursery and preschool. My son has been attending since the summer of 2023, and he absolutely loves it there. The staff are genuinely dedicated and caring, ensuring each child feels valued and supported. The nursery offers wonderful additional activities such as forest school and swimming, which enhance the children's experience and development. It truly is an outstanding environment for young children.

Since my little boy started at Sunnydale in September 2024, they've been so supportive and very accommodating. The outdoor space is great. My little boy loves seeing the rabbits every day. Highly recommend.

Our little boy has been at Sunnydale Nursery since Feb 2023. Firstly I want to mention how helpful and understanding the office staff are when amending our little boy's days/times due to my work commitments. The entire staff force are incredibly helpful and friendly, every single day, come rain or shine. When collecting our little boy, the room staff always make time to let you know how he's been and what they've been up to. All the staff continuously communicate with parents to help the little ones self develop, a particular topic for us at the moment is potty training. I know hand on my heart if our little boy didn't have a space at Sunnydale Nursery, he would not be at the stage he is with his self-development. He has become very confident with interacting with other children, and staff members and his speech has come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery offers a wide range of activities, indoors and outdoors. 10/10 rating from us. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

I have struggled to find a setting that fits my little boy's love of the outdoors, but Sunnydale is perfect. He loves the mix of inside and outside play and exploring with the support of the staff. He is flourishing there. Thank you.

Amazing nursery! My daughter adores going and wishes she could go for more days. She's been going since she was 18 months old and is now in preschool she's come on leaps and bounds since starting. The staff are fantastic and have such a good relationship with my daughter she adores them all.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 10 months old. She is now 3 and I still send her in the holidays as myself and my little girls absolutely love this place. My daughter has absolutely thrived here and she's fallen in love with a lot of the staff. It's a beautiful setting and they enjoy lots of outdoor activities.

My son has been coming to Sunnydale since he was ten months old, and he absolutely loves it! The staff are excellent and always provide new and fun activities for the children to enjoy. The food is brilliant too, with lots of variety (my son eats like a king!), and the outside play area is great! I love how they take the children to play outside whenever they can. So glad we chose Sunnydale as our nursery!

My son goes to this nursery twice a week and loves it so much! I feel completely at ease when he’s there and always get daily updates and photos of him having fun. The staff who work there are all absolutely amazing and I really couldn’t pick a better bunch of people to look after my boy.

My son has been attending Sunnydale Nursery for nearly a year now. There are new activities each day which are very engaging. This is highlighted most days through pictures of the activities planned. The app is good; we are getting developments through this and photos also. The staff are friendly and welcoming and very caring towards our son. Overall, I think this is a fantastic nursery that has really brought the best out of our boy. He has learnt so much already, and he has really thrived in this environment, learning with his new friends. The nursery spends a lot of time outdoors exploring, and he goes on trips throughout the year. I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else.

Both my children have gone since turning one. The girls feel like family to us and the children. The outside facilities are fantastic, especially love forest school! They are always doing new fun activities indoors and outdoors. So glad we picked this nursery! Wish they could stay instead of going to school!

My daughter has been with Sunnydale Nursery for one and a half years, and she loves it!! She is so happy going and always comes home in a great mood and very tired, which is good for me when I’ve been at work all day. The staff are so good with my daughter, and I know she is very well looked after.
14 March 2022
My daughter started at the beginning of December last year, and she absolutely loves it! Always kept up to date via the app or Facebook page. She’s always busy playing and learning. The girls are all lovely and share all excitement about my daughter meeting her milestones or if she’s done something new.

Lovely nursery. So caring for our daughter. Great activities planned; she's very happy there and is always happy to go in. Now restrictions are starting to ease they have started doing more events to allow parents in, a Bonfire event, Christmas fayre, all really helped with the connection between nursery and home. Moved onto electronic diaries, so get to see updates on key development milestones. They are always happy to hear any feedback and overcome any issues you may be having.
