September 18, 2024 at 7:54 amThe kid is really cheerful there, serves great food, and consistently gets a great review of the day on pick up. Team very welcoming and genuinely care for the kids. The childcare centre’s updates via email and phone is consistently supportive. Excellent childcare centre.

October 5, 2024 at 7:10 pmMy kid loves all the different activities they get up to over the course of the day. The team are all compassionate, well‑informed and patient, and my kid has bonded very well with them. Outstanding at keeping parents updated and talking through any queries. I would not hesitate to suggest this childcare centre to other parents. Lovely, nurturing setting.

October 25, 2024 at 9:20 amThe team, Montessori approach and attention to detail have been excellent. They made me sense so at ease when returning to work and made a huge effort to understand my son and make him and myself sense comfortable. As he moved through the rooms, more excitement and activities awaited. The outdoor space is fab, along with the team. Since my son was 11 months old, he has been going to Sunhil.

November 15, 2024 at 7:44 pmThe team are so welcoming and expert, never letting this slip. They work with us as a team, eg potty training. Excellent communicators. Her key worker really seems to know and care about her. I think she is a lucky girl to be at Sunhill! I know my daughter is in very secure hands and is cheerful.

November 20, 2024 at 6:21 amHe adores his key workers, is fed nutritious meals, which he devours almost 100% of the time, and he is thriving. I really like the “out in all weathers” approach and the focus on fostering curiosity and independence. I know that he is surrounded by team that are highly engaged and very well‑informed. What consistently strikes me is how cheerful the team seem. In what must be a very demanding job, they consistently seem to have energy, they know the kids in their care inside out, and they care deeply. I’m sure this is in no small part down to the manager – she is remarkable. I really could not suggest it more highly. My son has been attending the childcare centre since he was about 7-months-old and has consistently been cheerful there.

November 25, 2024 at 8:59 pmDefinitely makes the mum guilt of working long hours better, knowing that he has such a great time. He has come on so much with his development since starting childcare centre, and it is consistently lovely to see the snapshots of his week. The team are consistently so welcoming and keep us informed. Would definitely suggest Sunhill to anyone. Our son is so well looked after at Sunhill and has such a excellent time.

December 14, 2024 at 9:51 pmThe settling in period was gently and thoughtfully managed. The food is great. Your team are attentive and obviously skilled at their jobs – our kid has developed beautifully under their care, physically, socially and getting to grips with early reading/maths too. We often say how cheerful we are to have our daughter at Sunhill, led by the manager, who clearly cares deeply for all the many kids that pass through, but also for her team and their wellbeing and development. To manage to provide this level of care and attention through the many personal and expert challenges of a pandemic is truly impressive. We are incredibly grateful to the manager and her team for all they have done for our little girl since we moved here.

December 17, 2024 at 12:52 amThe manager is efficient and extremely welcoming, and the team are so inviting and clearly adore working with little ones. They have also given me so much reassurance as a new mum (I’ve often needed it more than my son!). They were so supportive when he started and during a recent phase of separation anxiety. He is full of self‑assurance now, and his natural interests are acknowledged and encouraged. I’m so grateful to have found such a nurturing and exciting place for him! Thank you to everyone at Sunhill for doing such an incredible and invaluable job; it is beyond appreciated. My son has been going to Sunhill since he was one, and he’s flourished there.

January 3, 2025 at 4:04 amMy daughter is so cheerful in there. I loved the vibe from the minute we walked in for our tour. The assistant manager couldn’t have been lovelier and all team come across as secure, authentic and easy-going and it just feels so lovely and wholesome. And credit to the manager who sets the tone with her lovely, genuine ease – I adore her emails!
Daughter is super cheerful – lovely big, bright and airy rooms upstairs and lots of different activity stations. She was relatively old when she started childcare centre three years and four months, so I wasn’t expecting an easy transition, but not even a lip wobble. I sense like this childcare centre totally aligns with my family’s values and how we would like our kids to be looked after.
Worth saying she is my third so I have seen a few nurseries with my other kids – this one comfortably outshines any others! I adore the natural, minimal plastic, nature vibe. Just lovely! So pleased with Sunhill Day Childcare centre Berkhamsted.

January 31, 2025 at 1:10 pmThe cleanliness and decor of the childcare centre let it down, the garden is dry dirt, which whilst enjoyable for the kids and digging, they come home filthy and transfer all the dirt to the interior, if half the garden was turfed/astroturfed, I think that would help resolve matters. Sunhill lets kids be kids, building their characters and discovering!

February 15, 2025 at 5:57 pmWe’ve had a excellent journey at Sunhill settling our son into the childcare centre. Couldn’t be happier with the team, his development and how much he’s enjoying himself there. The activities are varied, and he spends time outdoors most days. So far, so great!
Blake Griffin
February 24, 2025 at 10:25 amThe team are compassionate and attentive and provide a secure and enjoyable setting every day. Our daughter has thrived there; we’ll be sad when she leaves. Our daughter has been going to Sunhill for three years now, and we can’t suggest it enough.

April 11, 2025 at 7:03 amThey go above and beyond, making sure each kid is individually treated, and they focus a lot on the development – it’s very much kid-led, understanding that every kid learns at different rates in different ways. Fantastic childcare centre with remarkable, attentive team who treat the kids as if they were their own.
Indigo Mayer
April 18, 2025 at 5:16 amBoth my kids went through the childcare centre and enjoyed it a lot. It means so much to be able to trust they will be well looked after and cheerful. My daughter just finished her time at this lovely, welcoming childcare centre, and I couldn’t suggest the place more.
Emerson Bishop
April 25, 2025 at 12:10 pmI have never met a more loving and truly fantastic team.
The way they know each kid individually enough to see changes in their health even before they happen is truly incredible, and then following from that, the care that is given to him during the times that he isn’t well is on par with the adore and care any mother gives their own kid through illness.
Specifically, I have to mention the manager, as consistently, a childcare centre manager like no other. I wish you never leave this childcare centre because I sense secure just knowing that you are there!
And all the team! Thank you, consistently! I wish I could explain in words fully just how incredibly grateful we are for the absolute dedication to the adore and care, growth and development and happiness that is nurtured in our little boy at this childcare centre.

May 9, 2025 at 9:33 amMy son comes home really cheerful after a day there. He’s 5-days a week and consistently cheerful to go. He eats really well (some things he would not touch at home), and he gets to do activities such as messy playtime that I know he enjoys a lot. The garden is really exceptional, and in the summertime, it really comes into its own. Both my kids have been at Sunhill, and I could not speak more highly of the team. We are very grateful for all the childcare centre has done and for the assistance throughout Covid. Such a attentive and enjoyable setting.

May 11, 2025 at 5:55 pmWe’ve recently moved to the area, and settling into a new childcare centre was the thing I was most anxious about. However, the team at Sunhill were outstanding, and I needn’t have worried. The manager was very compassionate and reassuring; she was excellent at communicating clearly and regularly – even through a difficult (due to COVID) December. Our daughter loves the team in Sunbeams, in particular, we know of three members of team. There’s no doubt they create a very secure, enjoyable and positive setting, as, after day two, our daughter couldn’t wait to get back there each day. I’m very grateful for all their hard work and care – a big thank you to the whole team. We’re so cheerful that our 2-year-old daughter is attending Sunhill Childcare centre Berkhamsted.

May 16, 2025 at 6:10 pmMy son has a speech delay due to being diagnosed with Glue Ear, and since starting at Sunhill, we all noticed a huge difference in his speech, as well as many other key skills. He even tidies up after himself now without being asked; he has never done this previously before starting, so this is incredible. The remarkable team have all played such an important role in such a crucial stage of my son’s life, which we will forever be grateful for. The team at Sunhill Berkhamstead are absolutely incredible.
Jordan Drake
May 17, 2025 at 2:12 pmDuring a really difficult year, they’ve marched on and kept everything really positive and enjoyable for all of the kids, and we, as a family, are so grateful to them for that.
Special thank you to the manager and the team. Sunhill Berkhamsted and the team have been incredible for my son.

July 4, 2025 at 2:35 pmWe’ve been very cheerful with Sunhill and would highly suggest them to any parent. Excellent outside playing area, super welcoming team and outstanding management! Over the last five years, we have had two of our kids attend Sunhill childcare centre.
