September 19, 2024 at 2:54 pmThe team in the infant room helped him settle in truly quickly which was so reassuring after the difficult times we all experienced in the lockdowns. He has developed and flourished in their care in the infant, toddler and rising 3 rooms. He loves all the varied enjoyable activities and truly looks forward to all his home cooked meals. We have already got a place for our little girl to start at the end of the year and know she will have the same nurturing journey. Our son has attended Sunbeams Austhorpe since July 2021 and now the team sense like family.

October 1, 2024 at 12:35 pmAll team are highly pleasant and easy to speak to. My son is developing incredible with their help! The rooms and outside playtime areas are consistently tidy, and the food is lovely! My son loves going to childcare centre.

October 11, 2024 at 1:28 amI think the childcare centre is great, the team are highly compassionate and attentive to our daughter, and the overall journey is great.
The only minor concern we have is regarding the dirty clothing and shoes we get home every day, although we are aware that it is something difficult to control.

October 16, 2024 at 7:36 amDuring this time she has developed incredibly well, moving through the Sunbeams classes with her friends and still thoroughly enjoys her time there. She has been cared for by many people as she progressed and we’ve had fantastic experiences with all of them. The team have consistently been remarkable and looked after my daughter and her classmates exceptionally. My daughter is in her final year at Kids Planet Sunbeams, having been attending for over two and a half years.

November 11, 2024 at 1:46 amThe activities are varied and the themed days are incredible. The food is so great, better than any childcare centre I know of and the reporting is ace. Remarkable childcare centre, my little one gets so much out of it and she loves attending and all the team.

December 13, 2024 at 10:41 pmThey truly are the best. I am a single mum who works full time, but I know that my son is well looked after, and he looks forward to going, which is such a relief for me. The manager and all the team are just exceptional. One lady is just exceptional with him; she has truly taken the time to get to know him and listens to things that we are doing at home, so they can be followed in the childcare centre. She supports me so much, which is so reassuring, and I am so grateful for. She is truly a credit to you! All the team at your Austhorpe Childcare centre are absolutely incredible, it is definitely like all the team are one big family, and I truly am grateful.

January 1, 2025 at 1:39 pmWe’re kept informed on what’s happening within the childcare centre. There’s consistently an event or celebration connected to the wider world. There’s a great mix of discovering opportunities.
Most importantly, my daughter is cheerful, engaged and kept secure. Cheerful, welcoming team.

January 12, 2025 at 3:04 amThey comfort him every morning as he doesn’t like leaving his mummy. A wide range of activities.
Great updates and pictures of what he has been doing. The team are truly great with my little boy.

January 13, 2025 at 5:24 pmThe team are consistently welcoming, inviting and attentive and have truly taken their time to get to know her and her interests. She has developed in self‑assurance since starting at childcare centre and has benefited from socialising with kids her own age. There are consistently interesting activities set out in the room, and the themes are ones that she enjoys and talks about at home. The food menu is varied and encourages her to be more adventurous with the things she tries. My daughter loves attending childcare centre here.

February 2, 2025 at 4:30 amThey have become more confident and independent and delight in the activities set up for them. The team are all highly welcoming and the food menus seem great and varied. The Blossom App is useful to see what they have been up to (but it is often slow to update and notify me of the days update). Overall I am pleased with the childcare centre and how they have helped my kids develop. I have 2 kids at the childcare centre one in preschool and one in the toddler room, both seem to delight in it and have made great friendships and relationships with the team.

February 24, 2025 at 7:01 pmShe is currently in the infant room, and all of the team have made sure that my daughter is well cared for; she is highly cheerful here, which shows when I collect her as she doesn’t want to leave. Having this care has made my transition back to work a lot easier. My daughter is consistently cheerful to attend childcare centre.
Alex Mayer
February 26, 2025 at 7:13 amThe team are incredible and show so much care and attention, remembering so many little details about him and relaying information to me on what he’s been up to during his days. Updates from the manager is consistently outstanding, she responds to any queries quickly and whoever is on the reception desk consistently greets you with a smile. Both of my kids have attended this childcare centre and I have never had any complaints and would highly suggest to anyone! My son absolutely loves coming to childcare centre here.

March 24, 2025 at 6:10 amIt is an incredible nurser, with truly welcoming team, and consistently goes over and beyond.
My little boy absolutely loves it; he is a clingy baby and doesn’t go to many people, but happily waves bye-bye to myself (mummy) and his daddy in the morning.
I highly suggest it; they assistance potty training and anything you are doing at home, which helps improve there too.
Thank you to all the lovely team. My little boy comes here two mornings a week, my eldest who is now 11, also used to come.

March 29, 2025 at 2:11 amBoth of them delight in being there, and I sense like all of the team go out of their way to get to know them and what they like/do not like. It is also highly easy to contact them, calls are consistently answered and emails have consistently been responded to promptly. I have two kids at Sunbeams and cannot fault it.
Elliot Keane
March 31, 2025 at 7:53 pmExcellent discovering setting and fabulous team who genuinely care about the kids. Can’t say enough great things about Sunbeams. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to send my young ones for the last four years.

April 4, 2025 at 2:09 amMy three year old son is there currently. I chose Sunbeams Austhorpe as it came highly suggest by many of my friends, most of who are primary educators. I have been highly impressed with the care that is provided. Many of the carers have looked after both of my kids and I have got to know them well. Retainment of team suggests that it is a positive setting for people to work, which is reflected in the care provided. The carers are highly loving and calming and seem to show genuine care towards all the kids. The rooms are consistently spotless and tidy and both of my kids have enjoyed the food. There is consistently lots of messy playtime, singing and dancing. The outside area is remarkable and the kids get lots of fresh air regularly. Two team members are consistently exceptionally supportive if I have any queries. My kids have made strong bonds with their carers and I sense confident that they will delight in their day on leaving them! Both of my kids have been to Kids Planet Sunbeams Austhorpe.

May 13, 2025 at 2:20 pmThe childcare centre is lovely and can’t fault the team there, highly welcoming, they are consistently cheerful to help, the outside I adore for my daughter as she loves going outdoors to explore. My daughter is in the infant room and loves it in there, she has excellent bonds with all her carers which makes me cheerful to see.
Justice Quinn
May 18, 2025 at 7:21 amEvery day he came home having done or learnt something new and is excited to tell us who he’s played with, what dress up he’s worn today or how many times he’s been down the slide.
The team are remarkable, everyone knows you or knows of you and are super welcoming and supportive. The diary app is excellent, letting us see what he’s eaten and done for the day, which helps us understand why he’s so excited when he gets home. No request is too big, especially when it comes to the kids’s routines, and cheerful to adjust to help.
We can’t thank the team enough for everything. Our son joined this childcare centre shortly after the pandemic started (as he was originally somewhere closer to work than a home for ease), and from day 0 to his last day, the childcare centre has been absolutely remarkable!
The only reason we moved to another childcare centre is we moved out of the area!
He has grown loads in both mental and physical abilities, sometimes seemingly overnight!

June 30, 2025 at 9:57 amThe team in each room are courteous, well‑informed and have a excellent (natural) way with the kids, especially during drop off/pick up which can be highly stressful for little ones. My only negative is that I notice that the odd lunch / tea menu choice being the reverse of what I’d give at home, e.g. cold meal for lunch, hot meal for tea but this is rare. The reports are excellent as they cover all manner of my daughter’s development. If I have any questions about anything the team do their utmost to respond within a day. I can honestly say that Kids Planet Austhorpe (formerly Sunbeams) have been nothing short of incredible with my daughter as she’s progressed from room to room.

July 6, 2025 at 10:35 pmShe loves the team, and I know she is secure, fed and cheerful with them. Highly flexible with my shifts and understanding management. Excellent team, My daughter has come along in leaps and bounds since going to this childcare centre.
