September 6, 2024 at 6:26 amThey have looked after 3 of my kids with no complaints. Kids consistently come home cheerful and spotless. Sunshine Day Childcare centre is incredible.
Elliot Owens
September 8, 2024 at 2:01 pmWe were highly cheerful with the care provided. The team consistently seemed fully engaged and had a excellent rapport with our daughter. The childcare centre was highly flexible in terms of opening hours, and you could book in or swap days at relatively short notice. Pre-school was ideal preparation for school. We will miss our daughter going and would not hesitate to use it again in the future. Our daughter attended the childcare centre from age 1 to 4.
Alex Bishop
September 10, 2024 at 4:27 amThe childcare centre team are highly supportive and nurturing, helping to promote independence from a young age and encouraging her to become a social and inquisitive individual.
The childcare centre has been flexible and accommodating to my various changing working patterns and requests for additional days.
Being an NHS team member, there has been the added bonus of being able to pay through salary sacrifice. My daughter has been at Sunshine Day childcare centre since March 2020 and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there.
Milan Ellis
September 11, 2024 at 10:22 amHe had separation anxieties and the team were incredible. Highly nurturing in the baby and toddler rooms. They know how to distract him in preschool to make that drop-off easier. My son is so cheerful when I pick him up at the end of the day and consistently talks about the team. I would suggest this childcare centre without a doubt. My son has been with Sunshine Day Childcare centre since he was 1-year-old.
Alex Keane
September 15, 2024 at 8:36 amThe team were remarkable from the initial phone call to see if they had a place. Truly efficient at getting paperwork to us and getting her started as quickly as possible. My daughter absolutely loves going; she adores all the team and has had a remarkable journey all through her time there. She will truly miss it when she leaves for school. Updates is outstanding between parents and team, and they have consistently been truly welcoming and supportive. Exceptional childcare centre. My daughter spent six months at this childcare centre after her’s was unexpectedly closed.
Gray Hayden
September 18, 2024 at 1:57 pmThe team are experienced, welcoming and welcoming. My daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the childcare centre and has received high-quality care throughout the time that she has spent there. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. Sunshine Day Childcare centre is a remarkable childcare setting.
Toby Keane
September 20, 2024 at 1:50 pmMy eldest daughter went and had such a exceptional time, the team are all fantastic and truly listen and do everything they can to ensure your kids are cheerful, I didn’t hesitate in putting my youngest daughter in Sunshine Day Childcare centre.
She is highly cheerful there and I know she is well looked after. Cheerful kid, cheerful Mum! Thanks Sunshine for everything you do 🙂 I have been using this childcare centre for the last 5 years and it’s been exceptional.
Arden Wells
September 21, 2024 at 7:30 amWe have had a excellent nearly 4-years, with each room (age group) providing stellar care.
Our son has learned so much during his time at Sunshine, and he looks forward to his childcare centre days. The team are all welcoming and approachable and consistently go above and beyond to assistance the kids in their care.
The option to have extra hours (subject to a suitable team-to-kids ratio being met) on the odd occasion to cover extra work commitments has been invaluable. Our son has been at Sunshine Day Childcare centre since he was 10.5-months-old.
Cameron Griffin
September 24, 2024 at 12:13 amWe have consistently been highly pleased with the care that team provide; they are consistently welcoming and engage well with the kids, truly getting to know their likes and dislikes. They nurture the kids’s imagination and inquisitive nature, facilitating discovering through a wide range of themes and activities.
Facilities are consistently spotless, look interesting and are age-appropriate. Despite the outdoor area being relative limited for the number of kids there, there is a great variety of equipment and toys, and they are regularly outside during the day.
Updates with key workers is great with regular reviews of kids’s development. Updates with the office has consistently been highly great over email or the phone.
Overall, we have been highly confident that the kids are cheerful, secure and well stimulated, and we will miss our childcare centre days! Both my kids have attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre from ages 1-4, and so they have been a big part of our family life since 2015.
Spencer Sawyer
September 24, 2024 at 1:28 amAlso, the kids are very self-sufficient and well mannered. It’s a fantastic childcare centre and all the team are very attentive and welcoming.
Parker Owens
September 28, 2024 at 6:53 amThe team consistently smile and make parents and kids sense at ease. The management team are outstanding and go above and beyond. This childcare centre is a God send! Sunshine is a truly exemplary setting.
Alex Reid
September 28, 2024 at 5:31 pmThey settled in really quickly and are consistently cheerful to go in. The team are very supportive, and they plan a lot of activities for the kids every day. My girls have been very cheerful at Sunshine and continue to surprise me with how much they learn through playtime.
Sunshine is a nice and lovely setting for little ones. My girls have thrived there. Both my girls have attended Sunshine Day Nursery since they were babies; one started at six months and the other at seven months.
Justice Bailey
September 28, 2024 at 7:20 pmStaff are taking very great care of the kids. I sense quite secure leaving my kid there; knowing that his day will be full of activities and loads of enjoyable. Staff are consistently cheerful to assist and adapt to each kid and take very great care and individual attention. Very great childcare centre.
Lennon Parker
October 2, 2024 at 6:31 pmThey all adore their job and are excellent with all the kids. My son has come on loads here and he loves attending. I consistently sense cheerful to know that I’m leaving him somewhere and I don’t have to worry. I will also get updates throughout the day from the new family page so I can see what he’s doing each day, knowing he’s getting all his meals. Lunch is home cooked and there is consistently a verity of food and everyone is consistently supportive. All in all a excellent family run business. I would suggest to anyone and I wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. Great childcare centre and all the team are lovely.
Morgan Morgan
October 5, 2024 at 1:29 amThe team are consistently inviting, welcoming and attentive.
The atmosphere is fantastic and you can see the enjoyable the kids have every time you drop them off and collect them.
The activities and playtime are varied and engaging and consistently a topic of conversation when our son is at home. We are confident and secure in the knowledge that our kid is in such a inviting, nurturing setting. Our son is so cheerful at Sunshine Childcare centre.
Jesse Wells
October 7, 2024 at 9:23 pmMy daughter started halfway in due to moving to the area, she settled there quite quickly. The team are lovely, consistently with a smile, and highly highly supportive. I highly suggest it! Outstanding childcare centre, excellent all round care.
Dallas Steele
October 10, 2024 at 7:54 pmThe team were welcoming, compassionate and nurturing. He truly enjoyed attending, loving his days there, full of smiles.
The team were highly communicative with us as parents, and despite having to cope with difficulties during Covid and us not being able to go into the building, they still kept us regularly informed about his development.
The childcare centre developed a mobile app during our time there so we could see photos and see when he napped, had a nappy change and what he ate, which was truly nice to be able to read.
If ever we needed to change his days or hours, the management were highly swift to respond and highly understanding and accommodating.
Our son only spent three months in preschool before moving to another venue, so I cannot comment on the preschool provision.
I would highly suggest this childcare centre for up to 3 years prior to pre-school. My son had a fantastic two years in Raindrops and Rainbows, from May 2019 to June 2022.
Finley Knight
October 13, 2024 at 10:57 amMy daughter also attends and she is now 2.
I have no hesitation in recommending this childcare centre, the team are welcoming and supportive. My kids are very cheerful at the childcare centre which is the main thing for me. The team genuinely care about the kids and consistently help me to get the kids ready for their next steps.
The childcare centre is very accommodating to parents. I’ve never had a problem with occasionally swapping days if there is availability at childcare centre. They consistently have interesting things for kids like sing and sign and travel zoo. I would highly suggest the childcare centre. My son has been attending Sunshine since he was 9 months old and he is due to start school in September.
Charlie Keane
October 14, 2024 at 4:45 pmCovid had happened, and she hadn’t had much interaction with other kids and hadn’t truly been without mum or dad. She had three settling-in days, on the first one, she pretty much cried the whole time! But after that, she settled highly quickly. I can safely say this is because of the adore and assistance that she received from all of the fantastic team there. She is now in preschool and is about to leave to go to infant school. The team are fabulous in preschool. We wouldn’t be leaving unless we had to! My daughter will miss everyone! It is also highly useful to be able to pay for the fees through the salary sacrifice scheme, as payments are automatically deducted from your wage. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. My daughter started at Sunshine Day Childcare centre two years ago.
Charlie Clarke
October 17, 2024 at 1:52 pmMy girls have learned so much, and they have also become more confident and have made excellent friends themselves. They consistently look forward to being at childcare centre, and they are consistently in a excellent mood when I pick them up at the end of the day. I sense very at ease and peace whilst working, knowing my girls are in a secure setting and that they will be discovering and enjoying at the same time. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone! I have had my two daughters at Sunshine Day Nursery for over a year now, and I am very grateful to the team for the exceptional care they have shown my girls.
Jamie Randall
October 22, 2024 at 9:22 amOur kids have settled in really well, made excellent friends and delight in going in every day. The standards of care and discovering are outstanding, and we will be sad to leave Sunshine behind when our kids move on to school. Sunshine is a remarkable childcare centre.
Drew Flynn
October 24, 2024 at 2:35 pmThey were highly well cared for by welcoming, compassionate team and consistently enjoyed their days. They developed socially and emotionally from their interactions in the childcare centre and had excellent enjoyable taking part in a huge array of daily activities in the classroom, including painting, outdoor playtime, water playtime and sensory room exploration.
As a parent, I found the long queues outside of the childcare centre for collection and pick-ups difficult. I sense the collection/drop-off system could be better managed to allow parents some time to interact with carers and reduce unnecessary waiting, but I know my kids were highly cheerful here, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this childcare centre to other parents. We are only leaving due to a change in job location. My two kids aged 2 and 4-years were both highly cheerful throughout their time in this childcare centre.
Casey Knight
October 25, 2024 at 4:07 amMy one gripe is the continuing need to wait in a queue for the kids to be bought down one by one at pick up, apart from that, everything else (updates, standard of care, discovering, facilities, the activities the kids do, etc) is top-notch. Truly, truly cheerful with everything the childcare centre does.
Shawn Pierce
October 26, 2024 at 7:48 pmBoth my kids have loved attending it. All the team at welcoming and I sense that my kid’s best interests are their focus. The range of activities are remarkable and I sense that the variety of things/activities that are introduced to the kids is excellent. The beach school is excellent and my son has loved it so far. I sense that Sunshine Childcare centre is a remarkable childcare centre.
Riley Carter
November 16, 2024 at 11:47 pmI sense they’re an extended family and my kids adore going to Nursery. The development my kids have made, the assistance I have been given from the childcare centre for new routines and advice has been exceptional.
I’m lucky enough that my kids are young enough to stay here for the future.
There are excellent facilities for all ages for kids! I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone! Incredible childcare centre, the team are outstanding.
Jesse Delaney
November 17, 2024 at 12:59 amThis is hands down the best childcare centre in the area (and we viewed them all). My mum used to inspect nurseries and so her opinion is also something that I took into account. She and I both agree that this childcare centre is absolutely outstanding and we hope they achieve the deserved outstanding rating at their next OFSTED inspection. The manager is incredible, he is very hands on with the kids and he knows all the kids’s names which is lovely. Whenever I have needed advice both the manager and the team have supported us 100%. My son is incredibly cheerful here and generally looks forward to going in. His discovering and development has come on leaps and bounds since he started here. The team turnover is incredibly low, many team having worked there for decades, it’s like a little family. They cuddle the kids and soothe them whenever they are feeling a bit sensitive, and I like how they manage behaviour. My son has been in three nurseries including this one and he is coming up to 3 years old.
Blake Keane
November 18, 2024 at 9:45 amShe has consistently enjoyed her time at the setting and the team have consistently been supportive, supportive and flexible. My daughter has been to Sunshine Day Nursery since she was 5 months old and is now 10 years old.
Phoenix Griffin
November 19, 2024 at 7:49 pmHe has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Consistently excited to go and has made some fantastic friends.
The team have consistently been truly welcoming, approachable and supportive. They continually keep us informed of the development my son is making as well as sharing all the excellent activities that he has taken part in. They have given high quality care and outstanding educational skills.
There is a great selection of food and snacks available that my son truly enjoys. They also catered for his dietary needs when he had an egg allergy.
The childcare centre has been highly flexible and accommodating towards my working pattern and any additional days that have been needed.
Recently they have started using an app to allow you to see updates throughout the day and see pictures of the activities that they have taken part in, which I truly like.
I would highly suggest Sunshine Day Childcare centre. My son has had the pleasure of attending Sunshine Day Childcare centre for nearly four years.
Blake Lang
November 20, 2024 at 9:54 pmMy son joined Sunshine day childcare centre in January 2022. At this time he has just moved from Egypt and my main worry was adapting with a new culture and language. He joined buttercups for eight months before doing preschool for another year and he is about to go to school now. The assistance and adore he was given made his transition much easier. He loved going to childcare centre for the almost two years. He enjoyed the place, activities and he developed social and hand skills. He is fluent in two languages now (for his age for sure) and I believe the assistance he got throughout his time there was crucial for him and his self‑assurance. When my son needed eye-patching as part of his treatment they also looked after him highly well. Because we are Muslims they gave him a diet that matched our beliefs. Fabulous, ‘I adore going there’, this was my son’s comment and this is why.
Dallas Irwin
November 21, 2024 at 1:19 pmThey both have had an enjoyable journey, and we have felt they were both highly well cared for. All the team have been highly compassionate and approachable. Thank you. Both my sons attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre from age 1 until they left to start school.
Harper Griffin
November 22, 2024 at 6:09 amThe kids are given the opportunity to be involved in many activities every day, including playing outside, in the sensory room, singing, story time and various crafts. However, it’s truly kid-led, so they can decide whether to join in or do their own thing. The app is excellent to see all the things they get up to and photos, but we also get outstanding verbal handovers from the team on how each day has gone. They have been highly pragmatic with illnesses and have let me know when there have been concerns to raise with a GP. The team show a commitment to kid safety, and they carefully monitor who can come into the building/pick up the kids. Three particular ladies have been exceptional and developed a fantastic bond with our kid. I have also interacted with many other team (all lovely), and everyone seems passionate and enthusiastic about their work. Thank you, Sunshine team. My 1-year-old has attended the childcare centre for a couple of months, and I have been so impressed with the care they’ve received.
Jordan Quincy
November 28, 2024 at 11:12 amThe childcare centre team have been very welcoming and supportive, and have developed strong bonds with both of my kids. My kids have been consistently very positive and cheerful to go to the childcare centre. They have also learnt a lot through games and enjoyable activities, and I can see them very well prepared to go to school. I would highly suggest them. Both my son and my daughter attended Sunshine Day Nursery since they were babies.
London Keller
December 8, 2024 at 11:25 amThey truly take care to get to know the kids. My kid consistently comes home full of beans and stories about what he did at childcare centre. He absolutely loved the chicken/chicks they had at childcare centre for a short while. The singalong production which the childcare centre put together was outstanding. Thank you Sunshine team, looking forward to seeing the new building when it’s all completed Excellent childcare centre, highly well‑informed and welcoming team.
Avery Pierce
December 10, 2024 at 3:16 amThe team have consistently been highly welcoming, remarkable with my kids, attentive and attentive to their needs.
I would highly suggest the childcare centre to anyone and would like to thank the team for everything they have done. Both my son and daughter have attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre in the last ten years, both from being six months old right up to starting school.
Charlie Keller
December 10, 2024 at 7:47 pmThe childcare centre has consistently being exceptional, the team are welcoming, compassionate and expert and you can see this within the quality of their work within the setting.
Children constantly have great resources which they have have constant access to and are well looked after at all times. I also adore the fact that they have access to outside every single day no mater the weather which is fab as this kids adore this and the outside areas are excellent as well as indoors.
Not only are the team compassionate but they are also very well‑informed within the areas of the eyfs, this is also reflected within the activities provided for the kids and within reports you receive back for your kid. The team here don’t work here for a ‘job’ they work here because they are passionate about kids and their education and care.
Can’t suggest enough. My daughter has being attending Sunshine Day Nursery since she was just under/over one years of age.
Carter Ferguson
December 15, 2024 at 1:34 amHe settled brilliantly. The girls in the baby room are absolutely remarkable, as are the other team we have come across. Communication from management could’ve been better at times and pricing could have included nappies/wipes to be more competitive. However, we are very pleased with the care/education offered and have had a great journey overall. We hope to keep him there until he’s off to school. Our son has been attending Sunshine Nursery since he was five months and is just turning two.
Marley Cross
December 15, 2024 at 9:19 pmShe’s now 3.5 years and is part of the Sunshine family. The team are excellent and have a remarkable relationship with all the kids. They have a lot of activities throughout the week and different age groups which has truly been enjoyed by my daughter. We will miss Sunshine when my daughter starts primary school but it has been a excellent place to get her ready for such a big step. A fantastic childcare centre which my daughter has loved since she was 9 months.
Alex Underwood
December 20, 2024 at 10:03 pmMy son thoroughly enjoys Sunshine Childcare centre and has come on so much developmentally since being back. I would highly suggest Sunshine to any new parent. Since coming back from lockdown my son was quite nervous about coming back, the team were incredible at resettling him and listened to any worries and concerns we had about returning.
Gray Morgan
December 25, 2024 at 2:32 amI looked around a couple of other nurseries that were manic and loud, and then I visited Sunshine and couldn’t believe how calm and quiet it was. Throughout his time at childcare centre, he has been so looked after and has loved his educators in every class. I’ll be so sad for him to leave and go to school this year. I truly can’t suggest this childcare centre enough for the care they give the kids and the peace of mind you have as a parent knowing your kid is being so well looked after when you’re not there. My son has been at Sunshine Day Childcare centre since he turned one, and I returned to work.
Dallas Owens
January 2, 2025 at 1:38 pmDue to a change in circumstances, I can no longer send him there which is highly sad and unfortunate because the team are so attentive, compassionate and nurturing.
I would defo suggest this childcare centre, my son has made a handful of friends. When I come to pick him up he has paint, ink and playtime dough on his clothes – that’s a great sign surely. My son has been at this childcare centre for just under a year.
Rowan Mayer
January 4, 2025 at 4:01 amWhen he first started he was very emotional, because he had never been away from me. The team reassured him and they were so expert, compassionate, attentive and supportive.
My son loves this childcare centre and adores the team, they are supportive and if you need advice with anything they will help you, they are incredible. My son is going to miss this childcare centre and the team when he goes to school full-time.
I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone it’s the best by far My son has been to this childcare centre since he turned 2 years, he’s now 3 years 7 months.
Lennon Drake
January 7, 2025 at 6:14 amThe team were excellent, and the care they’ve provided for my kid was remarkable. The management was accommodating and happily answered all my queries. Sunshine Day Childcare centre has been fantastic.
Phoenix Irwin
January 8, 2025 at 4:19 pmMy kid has been improving so much and discovering how to pronounce so many words with the help of the educators. I will definitely suggest kids to come here. Best childcare centre. Thank you all. The best educators and managers ever.
Dallas Clarke
January 9, 2025 at 4:43 amWe had a bad journey with a previous childcare centre she used to attend, and all the team at Sunshine completely turned this around for us. All of the team are so lovely and expert, and the childcare centre setting is exceptional. My little girl has truly developed and has learnt so much since attending Sunshine. We will be truly sad to go, but I’m confident they have set up for a positive start to school. Can’t thank the team enough for all they have done. My little girl absolutely loved coming to this childcare centre.
Kai Irwin
January 18, 2025 at 4:06 pmStaff are very welcoming and welcoming. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting here.
Couldn’t fault this childcare centre or the team and would highly suggest to anyone. I looked into a lot of nurseries and childminders for my son and came across Sunshine Day Nursery turned up unannounced, everything was remarkable.
Toby Sharpe
January 20, 2025 at 4:48 pmMy kid seems highly cheerful to go to childcare centre and I sense it is great for her wellbeing.
Alex Finch
January 21, 2025 at 9:04 amMost importantly, my son is cheerful when he arrives and cheerful when he leaves. We have generally been cheerful with the quality of team and openness of the owners. There are same day-to-day areas for improvement but the owners and the manager are receptive to feedback and actively address it. My son enjoys the food and the playtime activity. The team record any incidents that happen to the kids and notify the parents immediately. My son started when he was around 8 months and is still there a year and a half later. We are very cheerful with the childcare centre. The childcare centre is well run and kid-welcoming.
Casey Keller
January 22, 2025 at 1:27 pmAll team members that we have encountered are exceptionally welcoming, enthusiastic, approachable and genuinely care about the kids. With their care and assistance, my son has overcome a speech delay, and we have watched in amazement as he’s grown in self‑assurance from a highly shy boy who didn’t want to communicate or interact with his peers, to one who now comes running out at home time giggling with a huge smile on his face. As a healthcare expert myself, I cannot fault the measures that were put in place during the pandemic to safeguard the childcare centre, the team worked exceptionally hard to still
provide an outstanding service in unprecedented times. I cannot fault Sunshine Day Childcare centre. Thank you. My son has attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre from the age of 1-3 and has transitioned through two rooms.
Spencer Rowe
January 23, 2025 at 2:52 pmThe educators were excellent, especially with my daughter who consistently used to get tearful when we said goodbye. I would definitely suggest the childcare centre. Both my kids went to Sunshine Day Nursery and were very cheerful there.
Riley Quincy
January 27, 2025 at 2:19 amHe loves attending and I sense, him going there has really helped with his development. The team are all lovely and I have never had any problems with the childcare centre. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to my friends and family. Sunshine Nursery is remarkable with my son.
Kai Taylor
January 27, 2025 at 9:31 amBefore deciding on a childcare centre, I visited Sunshine as well as another childcare centre that had been assessed by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ nearer my home. I chose Sunshine Day Childcare centre because, on my initial visit, I witnessed team attentive for the young kids in their care as if they were their own kids. Different parents, will, of course, have different parenting styles and preferences, but what I needed to know when leaving my young kid with unknown people, was that they would provide him with the comfort and security to emotionally manage such a significant change. Not only did my son settle into childcare centre quickly, but I also settled into being back at work quickly because the team supported us both through the transition. He is now four and a half and still has a excellent time at childcare centre. I’m so glad we chose Sunshine. Thank you to all the team in Snowdrops, Buttercups, Preschool and ‘the office’! My son has attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre since he was 10-months and is now leaving to start his school journey.
Dakota Cross
January 31, 2025 at 8:06 pmFrom my son’s key person to the management team, everyone bent over backwards to make sure not just my son but myself and my husband were consistently cheerful. My son was a highly anxious kid, but I consistently felt confident leaving him, and with the online journals I could see throughout the day how cheerful he was by the lovely photos being posted by the team. I highly suggest this childcare centre! I couldn’t praise this childcare centre enough.
Rowan Keller
February 1, 2025 at 2:51 amMy first is now at school while my little one still attends the childcare centre. Both my kids were cheerful at the childcare centre, grew in self‑assurance, developed lovely social skills (Eg manners and empathy) and learned a lot (from counting and biscuit making, to say and childcare centre rhymes). The team at the childcare centre are pleasant and provide daily feedback on how my kids did that day. The team are also supportive with developmental milestones (like potty training) and develop great bonds which the kids, which reassured me that my kids were cheerful and content at childcare centre. Both my kids have attended Sunshine Day Nursery.
Jamie Quincy
February 5, 2025 at 9:48 amThe difficult task of finding a place of safety, happiness and reassurance is paramount to all parents, which is why I am honest when I say this childcare centre provides just that.
From her journey of starting the childcare centre, not only has her personal development in leaps and bounds but her social and interaction skills too. Conversations about her day are her favourite.
The team working at the childcare centre are just remarkable, not only do they provide the reassurance you wish for when dropping your kid off for the day but also updating you with daily activities and achievement.
The childcare centre itself is situated in a fairly quiet location with very accessible parking for drop-offs and pick-ups.
There is also a secure, enjoyable and equipped outside area for kids to playtime.
Since being recommended this childcare centre, 2 years ago, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to family or friends. My daughter has been attending Sunshine Day Nursey from the age of 9 months and continues to attend to date.
Lennon Pierce
February 6, 2025 at 6:21 amNever had any issues with the team or the childcare centre.
Attentive educators – welcoming, cheerful setting.
I could see how much my kid was discovering and developing throughout all her time here, as she would tell me herself.
The only one niggle would be if the educators regularly updated us parents on what my kid could do with improving on eg, writing, spelling, etc – so we could help her more at home. My kid went to this childcare centre from age one to three and a half.
Riley Steele
February 7, 2025 at 10:12 pmI would highly suggest this Nursery to anyone and everyone!! The contact between management and parents is excellent, they’re consistently available if needed. The practitioners and management are incredible with my boys, they playtime a big role in their lives. It’s also set at an average cost and overall been outstanding all round! Both my kids go to Sunshine Day Nursery and have done since they were 9 months old.
Jamie Finch
February 11, 2025 at 4:06 pmObviously, this was a highly delicate time for everyone and certainly for me as a first-time Mum returning to work in an unfamiliar world. The team went above and beyond to assistance my son in a childcare centre setting and from that point he has thrived under Sunshine Day Childcare centre’s nurturing. My son took to the handovers truly well and I felt comforted with the relationship he developed with his compassionate key workers. I had great updates via the App as well as regular ‘parents evenings’/emails and calls. My son then transitioned into the 2+ room where he has begun to develop more independence. The childcare centre are highly accommodating with flexible days. All in all the childcare centre offers remarkable value for money.
My son would be going to Sunshine Day Childcare centre’s preschool however our family are relocating. I would definitely suggest the childcare centre! My little boy started at Sunshine Day Childcare centre back in January 2021 after spending the most part of his first year of life inside due to the lockdown.
Skyler Delaney
February 20, 2025 at 10:04 pmAt first, I was worried about how she was going to cope after being settled somewhere else for such a long time. I shouldn’t have worried – this childcare centre is remarkable. The workers are all so compassionate, supportive and attentive to my kid’s needs. They regularly keep me informed and communicate well with me as a parent. My kid has had a lovely time at this childcare centre, and thanks to them, she will be ready to start school. My little one started here after her other childcare centre had to shut.
Rowan Taylor
February 22, 2025 at 11:07 amWatching my kids happily grow with self‑assurance has given me such ease, as a parent we all know hard it is trusting others our kids, but I can honestly say I trust each and every member of team.
All the team from managers, deputy’s and childcare centre assistants are very expert as well as welcoming and reliable. I consistently know exactly what my kids have done throughout the day, who they have played with and what they have eaten.
This childcare centre offers so much for kids for there interaction and socials skills.
They also have a 2build a profile scheme which is incredible for parents to look at their kid’s kids’s development. My daughter has attended this childcare centre everyday since the age of 2 (my daughter is nearly 5) and my son from the age of 6 months (nearly 3 now).
I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone.

March 8, 2025 at 12:00 pmThe team are highly compassionate and a pleasure to deal with. I consistently sense well informed about my daughter’s day; she has transitioned so well from the baby room upwards, and this is all down to the team’s updates with me and each other. The app is incredible and keeps me completely up to date on my daughter’s day. My kid is highly cheerful there. My little girl has attended Sunshine since she was 7-months-old and has consistently been cheerful and settled from day one.

March 9, 2025 at 3:14 amThey sense cheerful and secure there, they undertake a range of activities and are supported and looked after well. They have developed relationships with the team who run the after school club and really delight in their time at Sunshine Day Nursery.
As I parent I trust the team implicitly, I have no doubts or concerns about the safety of my kids or the standard of provision. My kids adore Sunshine Day Nursery.

March 10, 2025 at 7:31 amHe took quite a bit of settling in but the team were consistently excellent with him and reassured me that he was fine not long after I had left. I was consistently confident he was well looked after and would definitely suggest the childcare centre. He loved the chocolate cake so much that the person who is one of the members of team who is responsible for food found me the exact recipe the childcare centre used so I could make the cake at home, although mine didn’t quite come up to scratch. My son started childcare centre here just after his first birthday and has remained there until he started school just before his 5th birthday.

March 12, 2025 at 6:00 pmThey are very thorough in everything they do with the kids.
I have used Sunshine for a number of years with my two eldest kids and they came on leaps and bounds with their social aspects and discovering. I would suggest anyone with kids to use this childcare centre.
Carter Walker
March 18, 2025 at 6:18 pmThe overall journey is excellent and my baby enjoyed a lot from day one. Thanks to all the team and management for taking care of our baby well. I strongly suggest parents to visit this Nursery in the Croydon area and I would like to rate five out of five for this Nursery. Sunshine is our little one’s first childcare centre.
Dakota Walker
March 21, 2025 at 4:28 amI work at the trust/hospital, so it made me sense highly comfortable knowing we were both on the same site. My daughter has slight additional needs, and every single team member has gone above and beyond to make her sense comfortable and at ease whilst being in the childcare centre. Her self‑assurance has grown so much, and she absolutely adores every single worker in there. She will miss it so much, including myself, but the dreaded time has come for her to transition to big school. Thank you, Sunshine, for giving my daughter the best three years whilst being in your care. My daughter started at the childcare centre at one year old, so has been through all three room stages; what a pleasure it has been sending her here.

March 22, 2025 at 9:16 amMy little one is consistently cheerful to go. The menu is varied, and they take the time to plan enjoyable activities every day. They are great at communicating with parents, and I would highly suggest them. The childcare centre team are all very welcoming and welcoming.

March 29, 2025 at 6:39 amSunshine is a excellent place to have your kid.
My son has consistently looked cheerful there, in a hurry to say bye to me whenever I drop him off in the morning.
The place is highly well organized, with lovely, cheerful team.
They’re highly accommodative, patient and highly respectful in their approach.
I’ll consistently suggest this place to all parents.
Thanks for all your care.
Casey Hayes
March 31, 2025 at 4:58 amI have consistently found the team to be highly welcoming and exceptionally supportive. Both girls adore going to Sunshine Day Childcare centre. I find the tapestry and updates emails truly informative and I adore looking at all the photos etc and knowing what they’ve been up to at childcare centre. I would suggest Sunshine Day Childcare centre to all. Both my daughters have attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre, Shoreham.
Arden Taylor
April 1, 2025 at 1:17 amShe is really cheerful there. She can’t wait to go and playtime with her friends. The team is smiling and supportive; the kids learn new skills; the food is varied and delicious. As a parent, I am interested in what she did during the day and I can easily check this in the application, where I can see their program by the hour, and the menu for the day as well. I would adore my young kid also to be attending Sunshine Nursery when the time comes, I highly suggest it! Thanks to the educators and management! My daughter has been attending Sunshine Nursery since October 2020, when she was 19 months old.
Kai Marsh
April 4, 2025 at 9:49 amThe team bring out the highly best in the kids and truly do care – not just the key workers, but all members of team including the management.
The kids receive a rich and varied range of activities on a daily basis and are provided with a secure and nurturing setting to be able to learn, develop and flourish.
I couldn’t suggest it more! Sunshine childcare centre is a nurturing, welcoming and cheerful place, where both of my kids have thrived.
Taylor Carter
April 5, 2025 at 7:43 amThe eldest has been coming since she was 3 and the youngest since she was 6 months. They were fully supportive of breast feeding on my return to work which really helped me to continue. Yes, the place is spotless, well equipped and they do all the usual activities including messy playtime, outside time, stories and singing. But for me it’s things like the team seem to stay (some for the last 7 years), they show excellent emotional warmth to my kids, have the skills to quickly change a tantrummy toddler refusing to let go of mum to one that’s smiling and too busy to care that I’m leaving. They are full of reassurances that she’s cheerful once I’ve left and encourage calls to check if you are at all worried. They have never made me sense like a silly parent for doing this.
For us it’s like having extended family that want the best for our kids, it’s a fantastic setting that’s very free flowing. My two kids attend age 2.5 and 10.
Justice Turner
April 6, 2025 at 1:06 pmNothing is too much trouble. I had anxiety about going back to work, but I didn’t need to. This childcare centre took truly great care of my daughter and made the transition easier. I’ve consistently found the office to be supportive, and they sort out any problem you may have. Over the years, my daughter’s social skills have improved as well as her overall discovering. My daughter loves her childcare centre journey and all the team. The team have been compassionate and attentive over the years, and I can’t thank them enough.
Emerson Ellis
April 8, 2025 at 3:33 amTeam were consistently informative and welcoming, and my daughter was able to grow in self‑assurance and foster some hopefully lifelong friendships at the childcare centre.
All the team are fab, and my daughter will miss the team, her friends, and the experiences and lessons she learnt there.
Many thanks for all your help and assistance over the years. It has consistently felt like a little family at Sunshine, and it was sad to leave somewhere where my kid was so comfortable and secure.
Alex Hayden
April 14, 2025 at 9:19 amThey were both highly cheerful here, with the enthusiastic and hard-working team. I felt completely confident that they were secure, cheerful, nurtured and getting a great grounding for their education. It has consistently been highly reliable too. The childcare centre has been truly supportive to our whole family through difficult times, and I’m grateful for the care and input from all members of the team. We were sad to say goodbye to everyone. Thank you. We have used Sunshine Day Childcare centre since 2014, up until August 2021, and both of my sons have attended.
Harper Hunter
April 16, 2025 at 6:52 pmOver this time, she has grown to adore it and has a bond with all the team and her classmates. The childcare centre team have given us regular updates on her development and have been welcoming and approachable. The parking is convenient for pick up and drop-offs, and we have been reassured by the policies they have put in place during the pandemic. Our daughter has attended childcare centre since she was 9-months-old.
Cameron Morgan
April 18, 2025 at 9:44 amThey adore being there and we have consistently felt assured by the level of care and commitment to discovering they receive. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest to anyone who is local to the area. They also have different sessions run with external providers such as tot stars, sing & sign and Spanish lessons. They keep up regularly updated on how to help our kids with activities related to EYFS. I will be sad when my kids are no longer there! I have two kids who attend this childcare centre full time.
Charlie Clarke
April 22, 2025 at 5:19 amMy daughter loved going to childcare centre and enjoyed making friends. She consistently spoke highly about the team in her class. They consistently had many activities to do and she was consistently cheerful to bring them home to share it with us. She was consistently encouraged to write and she’s also picked up most of her phonics just in time for the next stage in school. Team has consistently been welcoming and supportive.
Toby Parker
April 25, 2025 at 4:23 amShe has had the best 4 years there. The whole team and management have been absolutely remarkable. They have all been so attentive and loving toward her. They are also so educational and truly helped my girl come out of her shell and come a long way, including speech, walking, potty training and then spending the last few months getting ready for school. They also catered to her allergies and health issues. I would not hesitate to suggest Sunshine to absolutely anyone. The manager has a remarkable team and will go above and beyond for you and your kids. The whole of Sunshine has completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for everything. We will miss you so much! My daughter joined Sunshine Day Childcare centre at 8 months old and has just left to go to school.
Rowan Blair
May 3, 2025 at 9:18 amThe implementation of the early years curriculum is well embedded into the childcare centre and expectations are high and the kids achieve. Being associated with the childcare centre for roughly eight years I have two well developed kids with an outstanding academic and social foundation. The governance and safeguarding are to a high standard.
Skyler Finch
May 3, 2025 at 3:19 pmThey were very supportive during the settling in period in the baby room and have continued to be excellent throughout the years. The team are consistently attentive and my kids made strong bonds with their key workers. The recent renovations at the childcare centre make the setting bright and inviting for the kids. My kids enjoyed lots of activities such as baking and crafts, they loved visits from Zoolab and Totstars and playing in the garden. The childcare centre consistently made events like Christmas really special, with lots of activities that parents can be involved in too. They have dealt with the recent COVID guidelines brilliantly and worked hard to ensure the kids were not unsettled.
Our youngest son has just had his final day at the childcare centre. He starts school in September. He has left with the skills he will need in reception. We will miss the childcare centre very much. Both of my kids have attended Sunshine Day Nursery from the age of 1.
Quinn Norris
May 10, 2025 at 11:00 amSunshine has amassed a strong, well‑informed, expert team that work highly well together. It is a pleasure to drop the kids off each day knowing they will receive the highest level of care. I then receive updates throughout the day thanks to tapestry and when I pick them up they are consistently cheerful to tell me what they did and adore the fact that I can prompt them on their day.
From a safety perspective, it is excellent to see that all team and parents following safeguarding procedures. Cheerful kids = cheerful parents! Would suggest to all. If you read the reviews and visit the childcare centre, the two things that stand out are the happiness of the kids and the overall happiness of the team.
Casey Holland
May 13, 2025 at 12:37 pmShe truly enjoys going every Friday. All the team are truly welcoming and supportive and it’s a lovely setting. Best decision we made sending our kid here.
Quinn Bishop
May 16, 2025 at 11:45 amShe is consistently cheerful when we take her there. We are very pleased with the improvement that she had since she joined. So far, she has made a lot of friends, and she loves all her educators.
Looking forward to being able to send her again. Our daughter has been going to the Sunshine Day Nursery since March 2019.
Drew Irwin
May 18, 2025 at 11:17 amThe management are also excellent with any questions I may have and they seem to have excellent relationships with their team, I highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Sunshine Day Childcare centre is a remarkable childcare centre school, My daughter and I are consistently greeted with a inviting welcome upon arrival and everyone looks so cheerful, there is consistently excellent activities going on when I walk through to my daughters room and the kids are consistently engaged in an activity or playtime, The team are consistently truly attentive and supportive with regards my kid and its excellent to see my daughter have a excellent connection with everyone there.
Billie Rowe
May 24, 2025 at 4:44 amHe has thrived in the care, and from his first day, he has been nurtured and encouraged to be himself. Team have allowed him to develop his interests whilst encouraging him to try new things and challenge himself. We are cheerful with all the hard work, which has clearly gone into helping prepare him for school in what must have been a truly difficult year, but more importantly, we are cheerful to pick up a confident, cheerful boy with a smile on his face and stories to tell at the end of each day. Thank you for having so much enjoyable with him! My son has been attending childcare centre for the last 3 years, moving through rooms and key workers.
Riley Holland
May 26, 2025 at 4:23 amWe have nothing but praise for the team. We have consistently put our kids in secure hands, and they have loved going to childcare centre adore the years. They will continue to return to the holiday club. We have used Sunshine Day Childcare centre to care for our two kids for nearly six years!
Dallas Bailey
May 26, 2025 at 8:07 pmHer key workers have been outstanding. My daughter was upset at most of the drop-offs, to begin with, but now happily toddles in without saying goodbye! I would suggest Sunshine to all parents. Sunshine has looked after my 21-month-old daughter since I went back to work when she was 14 months old.
Elliot Steele
June 7, 2025 at 5:41 amThe team are fantastic. They have been so attentive at all stages of development, and there are so many activities and themed days for the kids. If I had another kid, I would definitely be applying for another space! Both of my daughters currently attend the childcare centre, and the oldest has been there since 2018.
Charlie Sawyer
June 7, 2025 at 8:42 pm2 Years on and she’s now leaving a confident and outgoing little girl filled with cheerful memories from her time at Sunshine.
The team are nurturing and attentive, the kids entertained and cheerful. A vast array of activities keeps busy toddler minds occupied, art, sports, languages and lots and lots of playtime. My daughter started at Sunshine childcare centre with a pretty intense case of separation anxiety after a bad journey with a childminder.
Gray Owens
June 10, 2025 at 1:41 pmShe is now four and a half and ready for school! It’s been a remarkable journey for my daughter and myself as a mother. The facilities are incredible, feedback is remarkable and the team are incredible. I have a three week old who will also be attending Sunshine Day Childcare centre, hopefully in April 2024, and I have no doubt he will have a fantastic journey too. My little one has attended Sunshine Day Childcare centre at the Hallamshire Hospital since she was nine months old.
Jordan Marsh
June 15, 2025 at 5:45 pmThey provide a cheerful setting and both my kids have thrived there. The team are exceptionally supportive and even when needing to tackle behavioural issues they are flexible in their approach and work with parents. Only ever had positive experiences with Sunshine Day Childcare centre.
Lennon Taylor
June 20, 2025 at 1:34 amWe had to move him due to a change in job location. I only have great things to say about the childcare centre and the team that we encountered. Our son loved going there each morning; the team were truly responsive, and you could tell they genuinely care. I would definitely suggest! Our son was only at the childcare centre for a short amount of time, unfortunately.
Arden Lawson
July 4, 2025 at 10:18 amThe team are so welcoming and have truly helped with my daughter’s self‑assurance and her speech. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of toys and activities, both inside and out. I was highly nervous when it came time to send my daughter to a childcare centre, but she absolutely loves her days here and is consistently coming home cheerful with lots to say about her day. All the team are lovely and can not help enough. My daughter has been coming to the childcare centre since November 2021 and has truly enjoyed her time there.
Toby Lawson
July 4, 2025 at 9:44 pmThe best decision I ever made was sending her to this childcare centre; she used to cry at first, but the team were incredible – not only did they comfort her, but they also made me sense at ease too. They reassured me and said I could call whenever I wanted, which I was so cheerful with as it was the first time leaving her, I felt anxious too. She’s now thriving with self‑assurance, and she’s made lots of new friends. She consistently comes out in a exceptional mood with lots to tell me about her day and can’t wait to go back the next day. I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough. My little boy is 8 weeks old, and I’ll be putting his name down too. Thank you for everything! Truly an incredible childcare centre with exceptional team. My daughter has been going to Sunshine Day Childcare centre for the last two years and is now leaving for school.
