Hi Everyone who's interested in Sunnyhill day nursery.
This nursery is incredible in efforts of taking care of your children and not only them, staff members are also amazing with parents. They doing more than you can imagine-supporting children in their own way(making interests what your
children loves).
The staff also doing multiple events for families-like Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day,sports day including parents. Raising money for charity. And when your children leaving nursery they're making sure that is memorable. Both of my children love their teachers. The way the kids learning is interesting and fun. Classrooms are comfortable with soft carpets and cushions for reading time. Loads of activities equipment. Just cozy rooms. My older one keeps talking about nursery and when she has chance to go back for any reason, she's so happy to see her ex-teachers who gives her heartwarming hugs and chatter. And not only within the nursery, They're amazing outside too.

Sunnyhill Day Nursery has been a wonderful and nurturing environment for our child. The staff are warm, caring and appear genuinely invested in our child's development. Communication with us has been excellent, and it's clear how much thought goes into the activities and learning opportunities
provided every day. The nursery feels safe, welcoming and well organised. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a supportive and happy setting.

Our daughter joined the nursery in January and has settled in really well! The staff in babies have been amazing and patient with her whilst she was settling in, they do lots of different activities with her which she very much enjoys.
All of the nursery staff have also been so reassuring with
myself, as it's been a big change for not only our daughter but for us as well. Which has provided us with lots of comfort.
I can't wait to see how her journey and development progresses during her time in nursery.

Everybody at Sunnyhill Day Nursery has been amazing in helping our children grow and develop, and in helping us feel at ease knowing we leave them in safe, good hands.
They offer lots of indoor and outdoor activities, and the nursery has very good proportions of indoor space and outdoor green
areas.
The nursery app is really helpful for keeping track of how the little ones are doing and for communicating with the nursery staff. The staff have also taken on extra training to support our additional needs and continue to listen and do everything they can to help further.
The family fun day was amazing!

Since my son started with Sunnyhill Day Nursery he has continued to grow and shine every single day. From the day he started I have never had a single issue with his time there and the staff and management have been outstanding since his first day. They have been so welcoming and reassuring of any
concerns I have had with him, communication between staff and parents has always been fantastic any they have supported my son to meet all his milestones with dedication and a passion for giving the children in their care the best start in their nursery education.
I have been able to drop my son off and know he is in the safest of hands of people who will put 100% effort into caring for him and always ensuring not only his but every child's needs are met.
My son has always been so happy to attend Nursery and learn something new, it's the kind of Nursery that makes the parents wish your child could stay there the whole way through primary school. I would recommend sunnyhill over anywhere else

My daughter has been at the nursery since 6 months of age and has been here for 3 months so far. In that time, she has settled in really well to the nursery and has thoroughly enjoyed her time here. The staff are great with her, and do a great job at looking after her well being but also introducing
her to new activities that are otherwise difficult to do at home. The food they provide at the nursery for her is helping us on her weaning journey incredibly well and has also gave us the ability to introduce a routine at home. The nursery so far has done some fun activities which we have enjoyed, especially at Christmas and I'm sure there are more to follow in the future. Overall, the environment and staff all seem to be perfect for my daughter to develop.

This nursery is really good, all members of staff are kind, caring and patient. They all help encourage each child's growth to each child's needs.
Key workers concentrate on each child's interest, by communicating with parents to tailor learning.
In the space of 9 months my child has progressed
so much. My child also feels safe and happy every day.

I can't recommend Sunnyhill Day Nursery enough. This nursery has been absolutely fantastic. We were nervous sending our 1 year old (now 2) to nursery as we would essentially be without her but everyone at Sunnyhill Day Nursery have contributed to making it all very seamless and easy.
All the
staff have been brilliant - they have attentively listened to us and I've felt very heard by them. You can tell everyone genuinely cares about the kids as they all always have a smile on their faces.
My little one loves going to nursery, she runs off inside now that she's settled in and gets stuck in - it's because the nursery is a safe space for her and she knows it.
The manager Lisa, who I've met on numerous occasions has been very much involved with the nursery and makes sure high standards are maintained
I'm so thrilled we sent our little one here - it's the best decision we made. She has grown as a person, become very independent and learnt ever so much since joining.
Thank you Team!

The Sunnyhill Nursery is a wonderful place for young children. The staff are extremely caring, patient, and attentive, making every child feel safe and loved. Kids learn new things every day through fun activities and creative learning techniques that support their development. The children's room
is always clean, well-organized, and very safe, which gives parents great peace of mind. The environment is welcoming, positive, and perfect for helping toddlers grow, learn, and gain confidence. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a nurturing and educational nursery.

I can't express enough how happy I am with Sunnyhill Day Nursery. My son has been attending for just over four months, and he absolutely loves it, he is so happy and thriving!
The nursery and the entire team are incredible. Everyone you meet is welcoming, friendly, and genuinely caring. You can
truly see how much the staff love what they do and how much they want the best for each child.
I feel completely confident leaving my son in their care, knowing he is receiving not only excellent education but also so much fun, warmth, and attention. I'm quite a fussy person and always have high expectations, but Sunnyhill has exceeded them in every way.
I can't recommend this nursery enough. I honestly wish I could do something in return for all their hard work!

Like every parent I was anxious about my daughter starting nursery as I returned to work, but I can genuinely say that all of the staff in Babies have gone above and beyond to make me and my partner feel comfortable and to make our daughters settle successful. It's lovely to see her building
relationships with staff and making little friends. The communication we've received has been great. At a glance at the app we can see what she's eaten, how she's napped and if she's been changed and we get longer observations of what she's been up to which come with photos. The food must be great because she demolishes every meal and snacks- which have been varied and sound delicious. The facilities are excellent, particularly the outdoor space which they are able to use everyday in all weathers. We've seen her engage in a wide range of activities including water play, messy play, sensory activities and singing. Nursery feels secure and the staff confirm the identity of the person collecting her.

I chose this nursery because it's local and really convenient for us. I loved the calm feel straight away, with the soft music and fairy lights making it so welcoming. The staff are genuinely lovely and always happy to answer questions, which has been such a comfort as first-time parents. It did
take my little one about a month to settle in, but now he's really enjoying all the activities and the food. I feel reassured knowing he's happy and well looked after here.

I am thrilled to share my experience with the nursery my daughter attends. As a parent, finding a nurturing environment for my child has always been a top priority, and this nursery has exceeded my expectations in every way.
From the moment we walked in, it was clear that professionalism is a core
value here. The staff is not only well-trained but also incredibly friendly and approachable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that immediately put my daughter at ease. Their high-quality standards are evident in every aspect of the nursery, from the educational activities to the safety measures they have in place.
The cleanliness and tidiness of the facility are truly commendable. It's reassuring to know that my child is in a hygienic space where every toy and surface is regularly sanitized. This attention to detail reflects their commitment to the health and well-being of the children.
Overall, I recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, educational, and loving environment.
