    He has loved attending ever since the first day, and I believe it’s down to the lovely team and cheerful setting they create there. I particularly adore how much enjoyable the childcare centre team seem to have with the kids in the baby’s room; they genuinely care about the kids and delight in being there with them. I adore being able to track his development throughout the day, which was particularly useful for the first month whilst I got used to him being there. I look forward to my son growing up at Sunbeams and benefiting from the enjoyable and loving setting that it is. We couldn’t be happier with it! My son has been going to Sunbeams since August 2021, and our journey to date has been fantastic.

    My daughter just loves it here so much. She would go every single day if she could! Every single member of team is so lovely. The app is fab. My daughter consistently tells me that she loves the food there! She has made some lovely friends, and I sense confident that Sunbeams have made her more than ready for school!
    I’m just not ready for school yet!
    Thank you, everyone, at Sunbeams, for being so fabulous. I couldn’t be anymore happier with Sunbeams.

    I honestly thought she might not settle anywhere, but she has completely flourished since starting at Sunbeams. The team are so lovely, inviting and attentive, and the setting is calm and relaxed but has lots to do. She is so excited to go to childcare centre now, something I could never have imagined before. I can’t rate them highly enough. It’s is such a welcoming setting, and they seem to highly genuinely care about each individual kid. I have friends with kids at the same setting and all positive reports. A gem of a childcare centre. Thank you to all! I moved my daughter here from another childcare centre setting, as she was not settling there.

    A supportive and loving team. Cheerful kids everywhere! I have had my kids in this childcare centre for many years, and they have consistently been cheerful. Outstanding, inviting team. Outstanding team, facilities and care.

    I didn’t know what to expect as it is my first kid, but from the first day, I have felt so confident leaving him in their care as the team are so attentive, welcoming and truly keep you informed of how my son is doing. The app is excellent. They entertain him so well, he’s learnt a lot and made friends. The team are so compassionate and supportive. The chef does excellent food, and the reception team are exceptional. Would suggest them to everyone! I have been truly impressed with everything at Sunbeams Childcare centre in Harrogate.

    They were both there on Monday when I came in to complete the paperwork, and my son took to them instantly. They were immediately so engaged with him, and his playtime and made him so comfortable that when I dropped him off today, he just fell into their arms without looking back. They kept me up to date via the app with pictures and feeding/nappy updates, so I knew he was enjoying himself. Every time I’ve met them, they have been so welcoming and welcoming to the both of us that I don’t sense at all like I’m leaving him with people I don’t know. I cannot thank them enough for making an exceptionally emotional and difficult journey for me so comfortable and sense so secure.
    Highly suggest this childcare centre. My son has just had his first settle in session, and I cannot speak highly enough of the two girls in the baby room.

    He goes one day a week and he missed one due to sickness. At first, I worried he wouldn’t settle but in that short time of twelve days he has settled so well and actually, last week when I walked in to collect him he just smiled at me and then ran away to continue playing which to me is a perfect sign he is cheerful. All the team there are incredible and the rooms are so big and spacious with outdoor space for all. The girls in the baby room are the only ones I’ve properly met of course and they couldn’t be nicer people that my son has clearly taken to well. I’m so glad we choose this childcare centre as I don’t worry at all when sending him as they are great at messaging, calling if needed and my son’s updates since starting seems to be getting better. My son has been here for I think thirteen weeks now.

    My kids look forward to going to the breakfast club.
    The manager is remarkable with the level of assistance I’ve had over the years with my kids.
    Truly has gone over and beyond. The level of childcare is remarkable.

    My little one has gone there from being 8-months-old. He leaves this year to go to school, and I will be so sad not to be going there everyday. The team are incredible, the facilities are incredible, and my son raves about the food everyday.
    Well done to every team member for making Sunbeams an extra special place for kids to learn and grow. I cannot rate Sunbeams enough.

    Our daughter has been at Sunbeams since the pre-school year group and is now attending the morning and afternoon out-of-school club as a 2nd-year pupil.
    We have consistently been cheerful with the service provision, setting and team at the childcare centre, even though the changes and challenges over the recent years.
    Being warmly greeted every morning goes a long way to set common standards for the remainder of the team, and Sunbeams has never failed to be a inviting, secure, enjoyable and engaging place for our daughter to continue to thrive outside of the school setting.
    I imagine she’ll be attending for a while to come yet.

    The educators are lovely. The food is lovely. Parents can see the day-to-day activities through the app.
    Highly suggest. Excellent place for kids who start to grow.

    The management and team are highly welcoming and highly supportive, my son has made great friends here, and he enjoys the food and range of activities offered. Also, the childcare centre uses a highly supportive app that offers parents the opportunity to see the daily menu and how much of it the kid has eaten, it is used for communicating information and sharing photos. As my son soon leaves for reception, he has definitely made excellent memories and fantastic friendships at childcare centre. My son has been attending Sunbeams Harrogate since September 2020, and I absolutely have nothing to fault them with.

    The manager goes above and beyond to try to help the best she can to accommodate the kids. Another lady is incredible with the kids also, so inviting and welcoming, and also takes the time to understand each kid’s needs. I would highly suggest Sunbeams to anybody who is looking for a childcare centre for little ones. Incredible childcare centre with incredible team, can’t fault Sunbeams, sent both of my boys here.

    He has lots of friends, and the team are lovely and comfort him if upset. They encourage him to try new foods as he is a fussy eater. He loves playing outside and exploring all the toys. My son loves it at childcare centre.

    Our eldest showed his dislike of all the moving around with bad behaviour. The team couldn’t have been more understanding of this and his emotional needs in dealing with so much change. They gave him lots of one on one time and worked with us to best turn the behaviour around. All their suggestions worked; they knew exactly what to do. Both dad and I are highly grateful for the time and attention are given to both kids. Our youngest was a Covid baby and not excellent with strangers, and the moving around didn’t help. He has since become a highly confident and cheerful little man, and so much of that is down to the adore and care he receives from all the girls. The two of them are excited to go in the morning and full of energy, keen to tell us what they’ve been up to when we pick them up. Our two started at Sunbeams a year ago after quite a bit of upheaval for them moving house and nurseries, being with a poor childcare centre previously that we had to move them out of.

    They were also excellent when my daughter attended too! They’ve helped him settle in so much, and he has come on so much more since starting. It’s taken a while for my son to settle, but now absolutely loves it, and that’s thanks to the team.

    Since my daughter first started, we have felt welcomed into such a positive and inviting setting. The team have taken the time to help her overcome sensory concerns with playtime and journey, which has truly helped her gain self‑assurance. There are lots of open-ended playtime opportunities, and the equipment is remarkable. She is consistently highly well fed, and I think having home-cooked meals on site is exceptional. The menu is varied and highly well considered.
    I would suggest Sunbeams to anyone with pre-school-aged kids. They are remarkable. Thank you! I couldn’t be happier with Sunbeams.

    The team are all incredible and care so much about the kids in their care. They’re like an extension of our family, and I’m consistently cheerful with the care my kid receives! Sunbeams is a fantastic childcare centre.

    The team are lovely and well trained. The team create a highly welcoming setting, and they seem to highly genuinely care about each individual kid. My kid loves this setting; she has settled well and made lots of friends.

    Surprisingly, another day childcare centre recommended Sunbeams (best decision ever). I am cheerful and also a proud Mum. My daughter loves it here, and she’s consistently cheerful. However, a few days ago, I decided to visit another day childcare centre that is not too far from where I live, after the visit, I realised that there’s no better childcare centre than Sunbeams. A big kudos to the management. Special thanks to the manager and expert gratitude to the team. I adore you. I moved to Sunbeams Day Childcare centre (Harrogate) with mixed feelings; most of it was on deciding on the best school for my two-year-old daughter.
