May 20, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve had children at Sunshine for over 6.5 years. We love Sunshine and couldn’t rate it highly enough. The staff are so caring and considerate – you feel so safe knowing your children are in their hands. The kids love it too. They are stimulated and challenged every day. We really do regard Sunshine as an extension of our family.
The Montessori way of teaching works very well, and the staff do a great job tailoring the theory to each and every child. When our eldest left the nursery and went to school, they transitioned perfectly with no problems – this was a credit to Sunshine for preparing them so well.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended Sunshine full-time from the age of 13 months, and we had a great experience. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and the children were always happy. We stayed with Sunshine all the way through, and the top room team did a great job at prepping my daughter for school. We have our new baby’s name down to start this September and didn’t even consider sending her anywhere else.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amAn amazing nursery – I could not have chosen a better place for my child.
Leaving your most precious at such a small age is the hardest thing – but the staff at the nursery were so caring and loving to my son that it made me feel totally at ease. It has such a homely feel; the staff know all the children/parents and are so accommodating to any needs that we had. He had such a great bond with his key worker, and he went in so happy to go find her.
The children always seem to have new and exciting activities to do, and I love the Montessori aspect. It is beautiful to watch them all playing and be so relaxed and content in their surroundings.
My son especially loved being outdoors on many walks, his favourites being the village shop to regular amazing forest school adventurers.
Lots of communications from the nursery helped me keep up to date, and the online record gave me such an insight into my child’s experiences – I loved looking at the photos.
Highly recommended to all!

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’ve been at Sunshine for a number of years now. The staff are a real asset to the nursery. They are wonderful with the children and offer a real nurturing, kind, happy environment.
It has good facilities, and although lacking a ‘grassy’ outdoor area, this is compensated by regular walks and visits to the local forest school, allotment and nearby fields.
Menus are changed often, and children are given a wide variety of foods to try.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amSunshine Montessori Nursery is like an extension of our home and family. Both my children have attended the nursery between 2018 to the present. The staff go above and beyond to treat your child in a caring and nurturing way which helps them to thrive in this brilliantly equipped environment. The weekly topics and content of the sessions are varied and provide the children with the chance to explore and learn in a fun and engaging way. Due to the lovely location, the opportunities the children get include things like weekly Forest School sessions, educational walks to the local farm shop and visits to people in the local community. All these are invaluable experiences, and you can tell the children love their little trips out, either on foot or in the buggy. I can’t recommend Sunshine enough, and I think the fact that my husband and I felt emotional when our eldest moved up to school says alot about what a special relationship you develop with the Sunshine family.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my girls went to Sunshine, and I can’t speak highly of the care both my precious girls had at the nursery from only three months old. The children are at the heart of this nursery, and during Covid, it was so hard, but they made the children the priority.
Both my girls are at school; they prepared them with lots of independence. They started school knowing the basics of writing their name but with bags of confidence.
The staff are incredible; they honestly treat the children like their own.
Very happy memories shared where each day my children still to this day remember the time shared.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have been in Sunshine from the baby room upward. The care and learning are very good, and opportunities for outside learning, including forest school, are excellent. The staff show genuine care for the children.

June 23, 2023 at 12:00 amSunshine in Wheeler End is everything I could have wanted for my daughter in her early years of life and education. From the love and care in the baby room to the fun in the toddler room and the introduction of school activities in the top room. All the carers are so dedicated, and it is obvious that they enjoy doing their job and love every single child at the nursery.
Even though they haven’t got a huge outdoor playing area outside, they use the common and the Forrest school as much as possible, which gives the children a lot of contact with nature and a lot of fun.
The transition from one room to the other is always very supportive, and you get daily feedback on how your little ones are doing.
We loved our time at Sunshine, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Montessori nursery.

June 27, 2023 at 12:00 amTwo of our children have flourished through Sunshine, and we have our third starting later this year. The staff make this nursery a home-from-home feel with their warmth and love for the children. We couldn’t have been happier with Sunshine and look forward to being a part of the Sunshine family again this year.

June 28, 2023 at 12:00 amSunshine Montessori Nursery is a wonderful nursery; the staff genuinely care and cannot do enough for the children – nothing is a hassle for them. It very much feels like a family and my son loves spending his days there. He particularly enjoys forest school and thrives under the Montessori ethos. Over the years, the staff have really helped my son develop and have even provided extra care, support or help where needed. I cannot thank them enough.

July 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMore than six years ago, we made the frankly nerve-wracking decision of where to send our older daughter to nursery. We decided on Sunshine because from the first minute, I walked into the nursery, I felt it was right. We have not looked back since. Sunshine is an amazing place. Children grow, and you feel they are truly loved and cared for. At times we struggled to get them home in the evening because they wanted to stay longer playing with their friends and the nursery practitioners.
Over the years, we have also seen the nursery grow. They take on feedback and constantly thrive to improve.
Soon for us, it will be the end of our Sunshine time, when my youngest goes to school, knowing that Sunshine has supported both my children so amazingly in their early childhood and helped to give them the best possible start.
If we would have another little one, we would not hesitate to send them to Sunshine as well.

July 7, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are so pleased that we found Sunshine Montessori Nursery for our two children. The staff are absolutely wonderful; you can tell how much they genuinely care for the children, their well-being, and their development. The staff plan varied activities to support children in their learning and try to incorporate the outdoors as much as possible. They also carefully plan meals and try to introduce new foods and flavours, which my children both absolutely love. We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery experience, both for us in knowing that they are safe, cared for and happy and for our children in being in a nurturing, fun environment.
