Testimonials

"My son has been attending nursery for the last 3 years, moving through rooms and key workers. He has thrived in the care, and from his first day, he has been nurtured and encouraged to be himself. Staff have allowed him to develop his interests whilst encouraging him to try new things and challenge himself. We are happy with all the hard work, which has clearly gone into helping prepare him for school in what must have been a difficult year, but more importantly, we are happy to pick up a confident, happy boy with a smile on his face and stories to tell at the end of each day. Thank you for having so much fun with him!."

"Sunshine Day Nursery is a fantastic childcare setting. The staff are experienced, friendly and welcoming. My daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the nursery and has received high-quality care throughout the time that she has spent there. I would highly recommend this nursery."

"My little boy started when he was 11-month- old; he’s now 5 and attends the holiday club. He absolutely loved going to nursery. All the staff are amazing, friendly and went out of their way to ensure his needs and wishes were always met, as well as ensuring his development was continuing to progress alongside establishing amazing relationships with him. The activities are fun, appealing and inviting, yet challenging and stimulating! All the staff go above and beyond to ensure parents and children are happy, safe and listened to. The nursery supported my son’s dairy intolerance in the baby room and was amazing in supporting us as a family with regards to overcoming eating habits by providing a wide range of choices in meals to encourage his fear of food and advice we followed at home too. The food provided by the nursery is appetising with zero added salt in all meals and varied."

"Our son attended Sunshine nursery for the past 3-years. The staff have been very helpful and friendly every step of the way. They respected our beliefs and treated our child with kindness and consideration. Stringent measures were introduced to keep our child safe during the pandemic, and due to these measures, we were all safe, and our son never missed out. Our son feels confident and able to express himself freely. We are immensely grateful to the staff and management of Sunshine."

"Our daughter has attended nursery since she was 9 months old. Over this time, she has grown to love it and has a bond with all the staff and her classmates. The nursery team have given us regular updates on her progress and have been friendly and approachable. The parking is convenient for pick up and drop-offs, and we have been reassured by the policies they have put in place during the pandemic."

"Both my sons love Sunshine Day Nursery. They are always happy to go, and the staff are always friendly. They kept tirelessly working throughout the pandemic and don't close (except bank holidays and weekends), which makes it convenient to arrange care around holiday periods.."

"Such a wonderful, nurturing and family feel environment. Both my boys have loved their time here. I’m sad not to be coming anymore. We will be at holiday club though."

"Our son has attended the nursery since September 2020, and we are absolutely delighted with how he has come on since being there. I made the nursery aware from the beginning that he was under SALT for a speech delay, and they (particularly his key worker and nursery SENDCO) have been working brilliantly with SALT, following all the advice given. They suggested my son be referred for an autism assessment and have also further supported us with referrals to the 0-5 SEND service and currently a My Plan. They also helped us with a DLA application, which in turn, meant that we could put my son into nursery longer. My son gets so excited about going to nursery, and he is starting to gain more confidence. He enjoys activities such as drawing, and he loves it when they take him to the sensory room. We have definitely seen a positive change in him since starting nursery, and I am sure he will continue to thrive there. The staff are friendly, and it has a lovely atmosphere. 100% recommend."

"Our child is non-verbal autistic with unique care needs. Right away at Sunshine Day Nursery, we were met with a welcoming atmosphere and staff who were only too willing to go the extra mile to ensure our sensitive child felt safe, accepted and loved. Once settled in, our little one has eagerly bounced into nursery every morning and come home happy. The staff as a whole, but especially key workers, have been flexible enough to adapt to a lot of "self-direction" while actively encouraging development and growth - without once trying to force our child to engage with the curriculum. Meanwhile, the Sendco was tireless in pursuit of our wish to apply for a care plan, gathering evidence and setting everything in motion. If our child (following this deferral year) is able to join the mainstream school in September, it will be in no small part thanks to the wonderful team at Sunshine, and it is a genuine pleasure to have this opportunity to recommend them in the highest possible terms."

"We felt at ease during this pandemic as we know that our child is well looked after and is safe. Staff, both nursery staff and admin are friendly and helpful. We can't thank the staff enough for doing a tremendous job."

"My children (3 years daughter, and 6 months son) have enjoyed their days at the nursery very much. I am so happy from the services provided by the nursery, including the variety of activities, the food choices, the cleanliness, the safety concern, etc. I hugely appreciate all the staff's efforts."

"Staff has always been friendly and helpful. My daughter loved going to nursery and enjoyed making friends. She always spoke highly about the staff in her class. They always had many activities to do and she was always happy to bring them home to share it with us. She was always encouraged to write, and she's also picked up most of her phonics just in time for the next stage in school."

It helped us get into a napping routine and has benefitted Anna and us so much.

Thank you so much!!"
