September 2, 2024 at 12:38 amMy kid likes this childcare centre very much. He misses this childcare centre. All the team are very nice, attentive, loving and supportive. Management of childcare centre is very nice. All facilities are outstanding. My kid’s first language is not English, but all team assistance him. Now he can speak and understand English very well. I will suggest to my friends and family. Thank you so much for your assistance. Thank you. Sunbeams Childcare centre is a very nice childcare centre.

September 8, 2024 at 12:25 amShe has been developing so well thanks to all the girls and her little friends. Their flexible schedule helps me a lot and my baby truly enjoys being in the childcare centre. First time mum and I could not choose a better childcare centre for my baby girl.

September 14, 2024 at 10:41 amFor the assistance given to my son throughout his time at Sunbeams, you’ve honestly made his time there 1 in a million, the care, adore, affection and guidance and every more you’ve given him truly has made him who he is now so thank you! Couldn’t suggest you guys enough consistently go the extra mile! Massive shout out to three lovely ladies for the work you’ve done with my son – keep smashing it guys! All I can say is thank you guys!

September 17, 2024 at 8:37 pmMy daughter absolutely loved it here, and all the team brought her out of her shell and were just so incredible. Daily updates and helps each kid individually. My son has just started and goes straight in and loves it. Would suggest Sunbeams to anyone. They are the most lovely people you could meet and will go above and beyond for your kids! I currently have my 2nd kid in childcare centre, after sending my daughter to Sunbeams a few years back, I knew I would send my son.
Fallon Ferguson
September 21, 2024 at 8:25 amShe has loved it since day one, and the team in Peach Patch have helped her grow in self‑assurance and ability, and the genuine care and affection they have for the kids in their care radiates from them. She recently joined Plum Patch, and we have been amazed at the way her updates skills have blossomed in the short time she’s been there. We will consistently suggest Sunbeams to anyone looking for a childcare centre in Shipley, and we’ve consistently been 1000% cheerful with them. Our 2-year-old has been attending Sunbeams since she was nine months old.
Toby Walker
September 29, 2024 at 9:40 pmSince she has been able to talk she has consistently told me about the enjoyable things she has done during the day. The childcare centre provides exciting activities for the kids but you know there’s an element of discovering built in. I’m in no doubt that my granddaughter is more advanced in her discovering due to the years she has spent at childcare centre. She speaks fondly of all the team and other kids and looks forward to going each day. When she starts school later this year she is really going to miss coming here along with the team and friends she has made. My granddaughter has been coming to this childcare centre as a baby and I’ve been collecting her on a regular basis.

October 2, 2024 at 1:33 pmMy son started when he was 10 months and has come along leaps and bounds over the last year and a half. He loves going to the childcare centre and has a excellent bond with all team members. His development and self‑assurance have also come along, which childcare centre has a huge part towards. Would highly suggest – all team are welcoming, and it feels like one big family. Remarkable childcare centre!
Alex Jarvis
October 8, 2024 at 7:33 pmAs soon as I drop him off, he runs in with a smile to meet up with his little friends. He has made such great bonds with the team, and they go above and beyond with the care of my little boy. He has strived at all levels of his development and loves discovering through playtime. They have such great resources, including a garden, soft playtime and also childcare centre guinea pigs. I cant suggest the childcare centre enough. My little boy has been going to Sunbeams Childcare centre since he was ten months old, he’s now three years old, and he has loved every minute.
Parker Hobbs
October 14, 2024 at 5:17 amBeing lockdown babies, they were a bit nervous about new situations and people, so we were a bit unsure as to how they were going to take to be in a childcare setting. However, the lovely, welcoming team at Sunbeams have helped them to settle in truly well, and we have seen our twins thrive and learn so much in the past few weeks. Our twins adore going to childcare centre, and we sense truly reassured that they are secure and cheerful at Sunbeams. We are so pleased that we found Sunbeams for our 2-year-old twins.
Justice Bailey
October 21, 2024 at 4:55 amWe liked Sunbeams from the moment we had a show around. I would have liked a longer settling-in period, but it was the back end of Covid. The range of food my kid eats is remarkable, and they consistently give him more if he asks. They’re very compassionate and nurturing from what I can see, and my little one loves going in. On the days he’s not quite feeling it, whoever greets him at the door is consistently understanding and compassionate.
The feedback we get through the app regarding his development and next steps is handy for a first-time parent.
The activities my little one does at childcare centre seem challenging yet reachable for his age group, and they have been flexible with his education in terms of moving him up a room when they felt he was ready rather than just age dependent.
I cannot fault the childcare centre at all. Overall, we have had a very great journey with this childcare centre.
Casey Wells
October 27, 2024 at 12:42 amReally welcoming and was a excellent help with my son when he first started; they did everything they could to help him settle, and now he loves going!
Team are very understanding and listen to anything you have to say or any concerns!
My son’s keyworker is incredible and does everything she can to ensure his needs are met!
I couldn’t have picked a better childcare centre for him!
Thank you all so much for your excellent work! Remarkable childcare centre with incredible team!
Marley Norris
October 27, 2024 at 12:37 pmMy youngest has just left to attend school, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the hard work, adore and care all the team have given my kids over the past five years. They consistently welcome you with a smile and are such inviting and welcoming people. Both my kids have attended this childcare centre.
Arden Sawyer
October 30, 2024 at 6:19 amEveryone is so supportive and compassionate. My youngest joined when she was 9 months old. I was worried that it wasn’t going to be as personal as a childminder, but everyone was excellent, and the results are exceptional; she has truly thrived here. She is now confident and outgoing. The kids make such a connection to the team, which is excellent to see. One of my kids has just left to go to school, and she will miss everyone so much. She loved her pear patch and everyone in it, and they made sure she was ready to move up to school, which has made the transition so easy for us all.
Thank you, Sunbeams. This is a excellent childcare centre.
Taylor Bailey
November 3, 2024 at 7:50 pmShe has been there since she was seven months old, and they have helped her through every transition and have consistently provided me with information when needed. She consistently tells me she has had a great day.
The only thing that concerns me is the food hygiene rating of three – I would have expected it to be higher than an otherwise great childcare centre. The team at Sunbeams are incredible with my little girl.
Dallas Cross
November 4, 2024 at 5:21 amAll team are super supportive, welcoming, and can’t do enough to help my little boy. I sense like he is looked after by them like he is one of their own. Lots of enjoyable activities done daily, and photos can be seen on the app throughout the day. My son has been attending for just over a year now, a really pleasant journey.
Harper Drake
November 6, 2024 at 1:05 pmFrom understanding his speech wasn’t excellent, to sending me pictures of him through the day of him playing, I sense so understood by this childcare centre and know my boy is in the best possible hands to learn and grow when he’s at this childcare centre. I will be forever grateful and I can’t wait to see what else he gets up to whilst he’s here! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and what you continue to do for my son. My little boy has been here since February 2021 and I can’t believe how much he’s learnt and grown within himself by the help of the incredible workers in the childcare centre.
Blake Steele
November 24, 2024 at 3:20 pmMy daughter absolutely loves it here; she used to dislike leaving me in the morning but now walks straight in and comes home talking about her day with a huge smile on her face. She has progressed so well since starting childcare centre in all areas and is becoming highly independent. I am highly thankful to all the team for all their hard work and assistance. Completely incredible childcare centre – all the team are remarkable and well-mannered, compassionate, attentive and respectful towards all parents and kids.
Carter Frost
December 16, 2024 at 3:45 amMy son starting singing songs at home after only three days of attending the childcare centre, and I was very much surprised considering English is not his first language. The team are incredible to him and to me; their app is super useful! It is a inviting, spotless and comforting setting.
Taylor Sutton
December 17, 2024 at 6:13 pmHe has come on leaps and bounds since starting here thanks to the incredible team! He has grown so much in self‑assurance. 100% the best decision I’ve ever made sending my little boy to this childcare centre.
I can’t thank the team enough for everything they have done and continue to do for my little boy. Such a inviting and welcoming setting with lovely, incredible team! My little boy has been coming to Sunbeams since August 2021.
Gray Ferguson
December 27, 2024 at 11:51 pmI personally sense they try very hard to make the kids sense welcome and comfortable in every session.
I was very cheerful with the care my son received. If I had another kid, I would definitely bring them here. My son came here for three years, loved coming every day.
He bonded with team the first time he came when he was 18-months-old.
London Flynn
January 1, 2025 at 10:22 amHe gets the same amount of attention and assistance as a full-time kids. He loves the outside area and all the vehicles you have. Thanks. My four-year-old son has joined Sunbeam just for a couple of days to prepare him a bit more for reception in September.
Finley Marsh
January 10, 2025 at 5:42 amShe started when she was one, and she is doing so well; she is cheerful. She really enjoys being at childcare centre and loves her educators who are so expert, welcoming, patient and attentive. The educators are attentive to the kid’s needs. I adore the app, which keeps me updated about my daughter’s day. My daughter has been with Sunbeams since September 2021.
Casey Delaney
January 11, 2025 at 10:49 pmMy daughter attended here from two years old, and after having such a bad journey at her previous childcare centre, I was nervous for her to start, but within a few weeks of her being there, she was so settled and thriving so much! The team were highly reassuring and helped her flourish and grow! I honestly couldn’t suggest the childcare centre enough, team and management are a fabulous team! Absolutely remarkable childcare centre.
Logan Carter
January 28, 2025 at 8:34 pmHe absolutely loves it, and the day-to-day activities they do are excellent. The team are fab but expert! We’ve never had any problems, and I would highly suggest it! My son has been going to Sunbeams Childcare centre for three years!
Skyler Keane
March 10, 2025 at 1:37 amEveryone is super supportive and welcoming. My son loves going to this childcare centre. They keep the kids busy with creative activities every day, paying attention to each individual kid’s interests and needs. The food served to the kids is fresh and healthy. We’re very cheerful with Sunbeams Childcare centre.
Dallas Reid
March 15, 2025 at 7:32 amThe team consistently take the time to keep you informed of how your kid is getting on. Consistently healthy meals and since the refurbishment the childcare centre is looking terrific. Exceptional childcare centre and exceptional team.
Carter Underwood
March 23, 2025 at 1:52 pmSince he’s started, I’ve noticed a change in him; already he’s trying to walk now. He’s discovering more things every time he goes. He loves the team, and I consistently sense comfortable when I pick him up! I’m really cheerful with my little boy’s childcare centre.
Carter Holland
April 2, 2025 at 10:35 pmShe’s constantly singing her childcare centre songs and is so excited to go to childcare centre now. They have an incredible team who are so attentive and consistently has smiles on their faces. I 10000% recommended Sunbeams Childcare centre! My little girl has been going here since March, and she has come on leaps and bounds with her manners, sharing, eating and her talking.
Dakota Carter
April 6, 2025 at 7:45 pmThe team are lovely and we have never had any issues or concerns. The meals are nutritious and varied and the activities are enjoyable and educational. Our son has learnt so much in his time at Sunbeams and I have no doubt he will be well prepared for school next year. Our little boy has attended Sunbeams Childcare centre since he was 11 months old.
Casey Walker
April 8, 2025 at 10:32 amWhen initially started, he had difficulty talking; within a few months and lots of effort, they had him talking! Whilst being there, he’s been going through dairy-free diets, and they’ve tailored to every need he’s had. They’ve supported us as parents and have continued to bring out the best in him. He’s grown, developed and blossomed, and it’s all thanks to the girls. His key worker has the most incredible bond with him, and he loves to come into the childcare centre to see her. The other girls are also so loving with him. He’s made the best friends there, and they really are all like a family! I trust them with him, and we would be lost without them. Our little boy has been attending Sunbeams Day Childcare centre for just over a year now, and they’ve been incredible.
Toby Rowe
April 8, 2025 at 11:55 pmI can’t rate the childcare centre highly enough. I consistently felt my kid was secure, cheerful, and nurtured by team, delighting in her achievements. Team are nurturing and go over and above. Lots of enjoyable activities throughout the year and regular visits to the park and library. Lovely setting with a lot of thought and care put into the playtime areas and rooms. My kid attended Sunbeams Childcare centre in Shipley from 11 months until she started school at age 4.
Skyler Keane
April 11, 2025 at 2:45 pmThe team are so compassionate and supportive. I am so cheerful with the assistance and care my son is receiving at the childcare centre. I am cheerful with his development; so far, so great. He is showing a lot more self‑assurance. Such a lovely childcare centre.
Logan Taylor
April 16, 2025 at 7:32 pmThe childcare centre is consistently tidy and spotless, and the activities planned for the kids are in keeping with their discovering journey and seem to keep their interests! They do themed days too, which is excellent for dress-up and special occasions. The menu is varied, healthy and balanced. I would highly suggest Sunbeams to other parents. They keep us up to date throughout the day via the app, and nothing ever seems too much trouble. I’m very pleased I chose to send my son here; he has excelled in all aspects since joining Sunbeams. The team at Sunbeams are very welcoming, they are consistently cheerful to hear about the kids’s weekends, and if they’ve been off, they ask how they are.
Jamie Lang
April 27, 2025 at 9:52 amOur daughter loves going to childcare centre; she has grown in self‑assurance and is more than ready to start school in September. She’s been well supported by not only her key workers but all the team. Every morning we are greeted with a big welcoming smile from the team, and I never worry about her being cheerful and looked after, even on days she might be a little off. The updates from the team is exceptional and consistently positive; they are flexible and understanding too. My favourite thing about the childcare centre is the amount of effort that goes into making sure the kids have different experiences, for example, exploring different cultures, trips to the park, road safety, visiting the library, swimming and football; they are consistently doing something new and exciting. We could not be happier with our journey of this childcare centre.
Kendall Griffin
May 7, 2025 at 10:11 amThey didn’t pick up his autism, they left him playing on his own, not knowing where he was on more than one occasion at pick up. They shared confidential health information with my son’s grandparents, which although they knew about, the ‘childcare centre’ doesn’t know this.
The manager is totally unprofessional and argued with me over email and then told my next-door neighbour confidential information about me and my son.
I’ve since spoken to parents at my son’s school who had similar issues!
Avoid Avoid Avoid. My son attended this ‘childcare centre’ for 6 months.
Dakota Blair
June 9, 2025 at 7:42 pmThey have grown, nourished and thrived in this place through the commitment and hard work of the team.
Management and team consistently go above and beyond, and we have 100% trust in their structure and ethics. This childcare centre has been a home-from-home secure place for all three of my grandchildren.
Kai Ellis
June 15, 2025 at 9:07 amAll members of team were so welcoming to both of us. My daughter has settled in full time now and absolutely loves it! She tells me every day what she has been up to and consistently talks about the girls who take care of her, especially one member of team. It’s so nice to know she is part of such a welcoming setting where she is clearly being stimulated constantly as her speech and development has come on so much in such a short space of time. I cannot thank the team enough for everything they do for her to make her cheerful. Seeing her go in with a smile on her face every morning, clearly shows she is so comfortable which in turn leaves me feeling comfortable too. Thank you so much guys, what a remarkable team you are! My daughter started here in March this year, I was so worried as she has been with me everyday until she was two and a half.
Arden Reid
June 29, 2025 at 9:14 pmWe followed all the guidelines for settling, but after one week of following all the guidelines stipulated by the childcare centre we were informed that my daughter was not ready, and they rejected her. My 2-year-old daughter was rejected from daycare for crying a lot and not interacting with other kids. They said she wasn’t ready yet. It was suggested that we put her in activities, but she already does 3 different activities a week. So they told us to wait a few months and try settling again. We were devastated. In the same week, we started settling into another daycare centre and on the third day she was no longer crying. I don’t know what could have happened at Sunbeams because parents don’t have access to the classroom but today I’m sure the problem wasn’t my daughter. We did some research and chose Sunbeams Childcare centre school for our daughter, we thought it would be a welcoming place both for her and for us parents, but that’s not what happened.
Sidney Quinn
June 30, 2025 at 10:58 pmWhen we went to go look around Sunbeams, I could instantly tell how well the kids were cared for. Also, the baby room is also the whole of the top floor comprising of a physical room, a calm room and an activity room, which I also loved. He did a couple of settling-in visits, and by the end of his first week, there were no tears. He attends mornings only, and while I’m at work, I will often get 2-3 updates/observations via the app updating me about all the exciting things he has been discovering that day. You also get a sheet at the end of each session, which states how many nappy changes, how much he has eaten and what he’s been doing that morning. He is about to start in the toddler room soon, and I can’t thank the team enough in the baby room for all they have done for him. My kid started at Sunbeams last August when he was 11 months, and due to the lockdown, he was highly attached to myself, so I was highly nervous about choosing the right childcare centre for him.
Indigo Keane
July 6, 2025 at 2:23 pmWe were initially extremely cheerful with the childcare centre, and the team in the room were remarkable. Although the care has remained outstanding quality, the food has gone from curries, paella, chow mein etc to ham and cheese wraps, ham and cheese sandwiches and very bland repetitive food. That being said, the team are phenomenal and go above and beyond what we would ever expect. The only other thing I would say if I was being picky is we used to adore the daily updates and pictures we would receive on the app, but now they seem to be few and far between. Overall, we would highly suggest Sunbeams, and we are eternally grateful to the team for all the work and effort they continue to put in with our kid. Our kid has been attending for a while.
