September 23, 2024 at 11:10 pmThe team have been excellent with our son, he’s built a strong bond with his key worker. My son has been at Sunflower Seed since October 2020. We receive lots of updates on his day on the app, which is lovely. His speech has developed so much since going to preschool. He comes home and says he’s had an ‘incredible day’, we couldn’t ask for a better preschool for our son.

October 4, 2024 at 10:23 pmMy son loves going. I highly suggest Sunflower Seeds. The team are incredible and so accommodating. I don’t worry at all when my son’s there as I know how much he loves it and how well he is looked after. All the team are lovely. It’s excellent value for money, and you know your kid will be well cared for and cheerful. You get regular updates with pictures too with updates on your kid’s personal development. It is a fantastic place.

October 14, 2024 at 1:41 pmMy daughter absolutely loves going; I dont worry at all when she is there as I know how much she enjoys it. I was very apprehensive about my daughter starting preschool, but these ladies have made the whole journey for me a lot easier. The team are just incredible; they are like an extra family for my daughter. I adore seeing all of the updates in photos and her development. Such a cheerful and positive place, and so glad that I made the decision to send my daughter to this preschool.

November 20, 2024 at 12:54 pmI was initially anxious about sending him as he had only spent time with family until that point, but the team were excellent in helping him settle in. My kid has attended Sunflower Seed since he turned two and has loved every minute. They gave feedback on how he has got on daily and also followed routines that he had at home where possible.
They also supported us with the potty training process using the sticker chart we had created to ensure there was consistency between the setting and home.
Staff are lovely with the kids and think of excellent discovering opportunities for the kids.

January 3, 2025 at 5:36 amOur older daughter also attended and loved her journey. Our daughter has SEN, and the level of care, the ‘we can do that’ attitude and the effort to make her sense cared for and settle in had been second to none.

January 24, 2025 at 6:55 amHe absolutely loves it here. My little boy has been going here for at least six months now. Since starting, his speech has drastically improved, and he’s even started to sing. Each day my little man is quite cheerful to run into the childcare centre and consistently comes out smiling and cheerful. The team are so welcoming and supportive. Can’t suggest this childcare centre enough.

February 4, 2025 at 10:52 amThe team are fantastic, attentive and fun and give excellent feedback on how the day went for the kids at pick-up. My son started attending Sunflower Seeds since preschool and now goes as his regular afterschool care.
The team all get to know the kids truly well. The preschool is located within the adjacent school premises, which means that there is a level of continuity and joined-up care even after the kids leave the preschool. This made my choices for afterschool care provision a no-brainer, as the team still knew my son very well and made them (and me) sense at ease.
Afterschool care is brilliant; my son comes home having been fed a meal he likes, is cheerful having been entertained and engaged by the team, and he just enjoys going to Sunflower Seeds. The close association with school means afterschool clubs can be taken, and the kids picked up from school and cared for by Sunflower Seeds team during standard working hours, without additional provision being required.

February 4, 2025 at 1:51 pmAll day when they were little, and after school, now they’re not. We’ve used Sunflower Seed for over a decade across three kids. My oldest two loved their time there, and my youngest still attends after-school a few times a week. The team are fantastic and hard working. Would highly suggest!

February 7, 2025 at 10:49 pmThe team are incredible and supportive; they do a lot of activities that helps my daughter develop. My daughter absolutely loves this childcare centre. I’m pleased to say that I do not regret registering my baby here, as I know that she will consistently be in great hands. I strongly suggest Sunflower Seeds.

February 8, 2025 at 2:18 amMy daughter immediately felt content with the team and other kids due to the warm atmosphere and the fantastic team. They are a fantastic pre-school with very attentive team. I couldn’t suggest them enough.

March 20, 2025 at 4:44 amThe team are all extremely welcoming and open the door with a massive smile. My daughter started at Sunflower in November 2022, and I’m very pleased with how much she has developed in only two months. The setting is very spotless and tidy, laid out in a very great way to make the most of the space. My nervous, anxious and shy daughter can walk into the setting crying some mornings; however, every time she walks out the door at the end of the day, she has a massive smile on her face! I cannot suggest Sunflower enough!

March 21, 2025 at 7:33 pmSo nice to see my daughter delight in her time! Such a positive and cheerful person! I couldn’t wish my daughter to be looked after better! I truly appreciate all the hard work!

April 7, 2025 at 7:12 amI’m going to miss it when she leaves for school because I trust all the team at Sunflowers implicitly. When I drop my 3-year-old off I can relax because I know she is secure and cheerful.

April 18, 2025 at 4:09 amThe team have been incredible and he has formed an extremely close bond with his key worker as well as with all other team members. Our son has been at Sunflower Seed since the summer of 2020. He is consistently cheerful to go in the mornings and he is consistently cheerful when we pick him up. It is lovely to see how well he knows the routine they have established; for example, he wanders straight into the bathroom on arrival to wash his hands, pulling up his little sleeves as he goes. It is nice to see him so familiar and comfortable with the setting he is in. It is also a very inclusive setting and he knows everyone’s names and chats about them. We see the care and effort team make to set up the room ready for the day and Tapestry is a excellent tool to share little snippets of their day with parents. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our son to be introduced to a fun discovering setting.

April 21, 2025 at 10:33 pmThe kids do lots of excellent educational activities, and the preschool focuses well on preparing the kids for the big school. Sunflower Seed is a lovely setting for our three kids, both in preschool and after school. Our kids are so cheerful to go to Sunflowers and are usually sad to leave at the end of the day! The team are fantastic, and all work so well with the kids.

April 25, 2025 at 3:42 pmHe loves his key worker and all the team, who are fun and loving. My son has made lots of lovely friends at Sunflower Seed. His development has truly come on in terms of speaking and playing with others. He has been at the preschool for nearly two years.

May 13, 2025 at 7:13 amI have a son that attends here five days a week. This pre-school is the best. The team are incredible. His key worker is consistently looking for ideas and assistance for our family to help with my son’s behaviour needs. She works with the early year’s specialists to ensure my son gets the assistance he requires. Amazing pre-school, outstanding team and perfect location. I adore everything about it!

May 28, 2025 at 9:16 amI found picking childcare hard, after working in the industry, I felt as if I knew too much and knew exactly what I wanted to see. Amazing pre-school! Sunflower Seed ticked all the boxes. My daughter started attending in July and absolutely loves all the activities! She loves all the team and you can tell all the team care about the kids like their own. Always welcomed with a warm welcoming smile in the morning and team are consistently approachable. They use Tapestry for observations which is lovely to see what they get up to at pre-school! My daughter has medical and dietary issues, the pre-school are truly accommodating with food. Great activities and lovely resources and use of the outdoor space. We adore Sunflower Seed and all the team. No better feeling as a mother leaving your kid to go to work than knowing they are cheerful, secure, having fun surrounding by people you trust. Basically a thousand words is not enough to explain how incredible the pre-school truly is!

June 16, 2025 at 2:03 amMy youngest attends the preschool and is joined by my eldest (who is at Primary school) for the breakfast/tea club. There are not enough positive words to say how cheerful I am that both my kids attend Sunflower Seed. This childcare centre is kid-focused, supports kids to participate and provides quality early years education as well as outstanding care with lots of adore and cuddles thrown by the fantastic team for great measure. I could not suggest this preschool more.
