Kindred Cambourne Day Nursery and Pre-School

Our son has been at Sunflower for 7-months now, and he is very happy there. He talks about members of staff at home and walks in quite happily by himself to see his friends! It feels very small and personal, with all staff knowing the children by name, and the updates through the app are lovely and reassuring! We are all very happy with our choice and enjoy watching our little man flourish.

I am very happy with the nursery. My son is very happy when he goes there, and especially when I take him home, he is full of joy! I feel the difference! Thank you, Sunflower Cambourne! You are the best!

When my son first started going to Sunflower, I was extremely apprehensive as he had never been away from me or had much interaction with other children of his age. However, he took so well there, they never failed to keep my updated to how he was getting on either. I can’t thank the nursery enough for everything they do. He absolutely loves the setting, staff and children that attend the nursery. His confidence has boosted so much since going, and his speech has developed loads. I would also like to thank them all for how understanding and helpful they are. Such a lovely setting with so many friendly staff. Thank you to you all.

We have been at Sunflower since my boy was 7-months. He’s nearly two now! We love it there and love that he enjoys going. Staff are always helpful and kind. Really understanding of nervous mums like me! Our son gets amazing care. Food is top-notch, and our boy eats it all. Really like the use of the app to stay informed of how our son does over the day. Their management during covid has been superb. Would like to see some more interaction with other families to get to know our community better, but that will come post-covid. Please come join us at Sunflower!

We are so lucky to have a nursery for our 3-year-old that is like a home from home. Staff are so welcoming and caring. Our son always looks forward to seeing his friends and enjoys a wide range of play and learning opportunities on offer. Communication is easy with the new app, and we get to see what he is up to as the day progresses. Also, very open and helpful management team, should any issues arise. Very happy to be part of the Sunflower family.

Our son has attended since he was 11-months-old. Now that he is verbal, he tells us every day how much he loves nursery and the staff and other children (he is often disappointed when it’s not a “nursery day”)!
We love how much variety there is day to day in the activities planned out for them, and how much time they spend outdoors in all weathers. The garden at Sunflower is amazing.
We really enjoy seeing regular updates and pictures on the app – it’s lovely to see him having fun while we’re at work.
Our son loves the food made for him and seems to eat all sorts of things he won’t touch at home!
All in all, we have been so pleased with our decision to use Sunflower. It might not be the shiniest nursery out there, but on all important counts – staff friendliness, levels of care and fun, we have been so happy. Our 2nd child will definitely be attending when she’s old enough, and we have recommended Sunflower to our friends too.

My son has attended Kindred Cambourne for the last 9 months and he has the most fantastic time, loves every single staff member he comes into contact with and they treat him with such care and attention, we have been overwhelmed by the thought and effort they make. We cannot recommend Kindred Cambourne enough from the stimulating and educational activities they deliver all day, through to the interactions with us as parents they are first class and we genuinely could not ask for greater support from them. An extension of our family with my son arriving with a smile and leaving with a smile every single day.

All staff are friendly and always keep us up to date with what our little one is up to. If he is unsettled when he goes in they make sure to keep us updated and reassure us that he has settled down and is having a good day.

My daughter started at Sunflower Cambourne Day Nursery when she was ten months and from the start, the manager and the team have been amazing. Now at twenty months, she goes full-time and absolutely loves it. She eats well, great variety of healthy food, sleeps amazingly after being a contact-napping baby! and has so much fun. The team are so kind and thoughtful. The app is really handy and updated regularly, it’s lovely to see photos of what she gets up to. To all the members of staff, thank you!

My daughter started here at 18 months old (November 2021). She was born during the 1st Covid lockdown and had not had anyone else look after her, change her nappy or even hold her much before starting nursery. This meant she was very upset for the first couple of months. I felt that the policies were rather rigid and her specific needs could have been handled better (e.g. offering her alternate foods when she wouldn’t eat and allowing a more gentle settling-in period, with me present for some of it).
The nursery is not as polished as some others. We had considered it for our older children but had chosen another nursery. We chose Kindred (Sunflower) this time, due to location.
Having said this, after a couple of months, our daughter started to really enjoy it. She loves it now. The staff are all lovely and we are very happy with it now. With Kindred taking over Sunflower, I can see that more money is available to buy resources and equipment.
