Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted

We are incredibly grateful to the manager and her team for all they have done for our little girl since we moved here. The settling in period was gently and thoughtfully managed. The food is good. Your staff are caring and obviously skilled at their jobs – our child has developed beautifully under their care, physically, socially and getting to grips with early reading/maths too. We often say how happy 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 staff and their wellbeing and development. To manage to provide this level of care and attention through the many personal and professional challenges of a pandemic is truly impressive.

Such a caring and fun environment. My son comes home really happy after a day there. He’s 5-days a week and always happy to go. He eats really well (some things he would not touch at home), and he gets to do activities such as messy play that I know he enjoys a lot. The garden is really brilliant, 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 nursery has done and for the support throughout Covid.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was about 7-months-old and has consistently been happy there. He 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 staff that are highly engaged and very knowledgeable. What always strikes me is how happy the staff seem. In what must be a very demanding job, they always seem to have energy, they know the children 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 recommend it more highly.

Our son is so well looked after at Sunhill and has such a great time. Definitely makes the mum guilt of working long hours better, knowing that he has such a good time. He has come on so much with his development since starting nursery, and it is always lovely to see the snapshots of his week. The staff are always so welcoming and keep us informed. Would definitely recommend Sunhill to anyone.

The staff at Sunhill Berkhamstead are absolutely amazing. My 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 amazing. The fantastic 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.

Over the last five years, we have had two of our children attend Sunhill nursery. We’ve been very happy with Sunhill and would highly recommend them to any parent. Great outside playing area, super friendly staff and excellent management!

So far, so good! We’ve had a great experience at Sunhill settling our son into the nursery. Couldn’t be happier with the staff, his progress and how much he’s enjoying himself there. The activities are varied, and he spends time outdoors most days.

So pleased with Sunhill Day Nursery Berkhamsted. My daughter is so happy 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 staff 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 love her emails!
Daughter is super happy – lovely big, bright and airy rooms upstairs and lots of different activity stations. She was relatively old when she started nursery three years and four months, so I wasn’t expecting an easy transition, but not even a lip wobble. I feel like this nursery 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 love the natural, minimal plastic, nature vibe. Just lovely!

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

Wonderful nursery with fantastic, caring staff who treat the children as if they were their own. They go above and beyond, making sure each child is individually treated, and they focus a lot on the development – it’s very much child-led, understanding that every child learns at different rates in different ways.
