    Very good nursery – all the staff are lovely and both our children love this nursery and are eager to go every time, compared to another local nursery where my eldest child refused to go in as he didn’t like it. This was a great positive – the staff are always encouraging the children to do what they take interest in. The only negative comment is regarding being sent invoices to pay for meals during school holidays, when the children aren’t in attendance, as they only do term time. We simply shouldn’t have to pay for meals they aren’t receiving. I pay for meals if they aren’t in for reasons due to illness.

    My grandson has been attending Sunflower children’s nursery for a few months. He is very well settled and absolutely loves it. As my only grandson, it is always a worry leaving him away from the family but I can honestly say it is the best thing ever for him. As a lockdown baby, he hadn’t really mixed with others so was a worry but he is really enjoying his time spent with other children. The staff are brilliant with him and keep us updated throughout each day with pictures, messages, meals etc so you can see how he is doing throughout the day. My daughter and I viewed three nurseries and I have to say this one stood out straight away and has proved to be the right choice. My grandson has really come on since joining and he loves the daily activities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery, it is excellent. Well done team Sunflower.

    After moving my children to this nursery from a previous nursery I can’t begin to explain the difference in them. They ask every day “Are we going to nursery today?” They have made so many lovely friends and love the staff so much. Academically, they have come on so much. Daily communication is fantastic seeing all the photos and what they are doing throughout the day. An amazing nursery that cares so much for our children. Also, I am a grandma to four grandchildren who have all thrived at Sunflower and have been prepared for when they started school.

    Wish I knew about this nursery sooner. My son attended another nursery from 6 months old and after covid, we changed to Sunflower and it was the best decision! He has come on leaps and bounds, has so much confidence and knowledge and actually loves going! Also from a parent’s point of view, everything is super straightforward and thorough. You receive so many updates throughout the day via the app, which I love and have never had before. Couldn’t say a bad word if I’m honest! My second child will definitely be attending here!

    Absolutely love this nursery. The staff are so friendly and really go above and beyond. My daughter started back in September 2022 and we are so impressed with how far she has come on! Our daughter always goes in with a smile on her face and is so settled with her key worker and all the staff

    Great nursery, my middle child was here for four years and knew my youngest would also be going as the nursery is so well ran. Lovely staff, both the girls were/are happy here. Wouldn’t have had them go anywhere else!

    Cannot fault this nursery. Brilliant place. My daughter has come on so much since starting here over a year ago and she absolutely loves going.
    All staff are so friendly and great communication. Would highly recommend this nursery.

    My youngest daughter attends this nursery and has done since being 11 months old. My oldest attended too just before starting school and absolutely loved it! My daughter who still attends loves the place just as much and gets upset when it’s not a nursery day. The staff are like a family and go above and beyond. My daughter absolutely loves the food too which is always lovely home cooked meals. She also gets to pick her own snack morning and afternoon. They have a forest school now and it’s amazing. I always look forward to the pictures on Daily Connect of what she gets up to. She also enjoys sports and yoga with the girls. My daughter will be sad to leave for school.

    We are first-time parents, and a friend recommended Hyde Sunflower nursery to us.
    In 2021 (Covid), we did an online visit, spoke to a few members, and decided it was the best place.
    Our girl started when she was five months at some point, we tried another nursery closer to our home, but we were so used to a high Sunflower standard, loads of pictures, and feedback about nappies, food and development milestones, we didn’t think twice. We called and asked The Sunflower team if we could return, and they accepted her back.
    I don’t have words to say how grateful I’m to the team; they are always giving guidance and sharing how the day went with our girl.
    She is always happy with her colleagues and teachers.
    Definitely recommend The Sunflower nursery.

    Highly recommended!
    My little one really struggled to begin with, but his confidence has grown massively.
    Staff are amazing, very welcoming and always on hand to help with any issues or questions. I feel very happy knowing he’s going to be safe and well looked after at Sunflower. Keep up the good work – very grateful for all the hard work that you do!

    Both my children attend the nursery and are absolutely thriving.
    The staff are wonderful, kind and nurturing.
    On both occasions when I have had to return to work after maternity leave, I have felt reassured by staff and that both my girls are safe in the care of The Sunflower Children’s Centre.
    I would highly recommend this nursery.

    The best nursery you will ever find, the staff are amazing! My child has been there for getting on for three years now from such a young age, its the best decision I have, no regrets I’ll be very sad when he leaves for school.

    My son has been coming here for nearly a year, after a short experience with another nursery, this one is amazing, I love the outdoor spaces for the children and the varied experiences they get are brilliant.

    My daughter has attended The Sunflower Children’s Centre since she was 9 months old where she settled into the Seedling room with a lovely team of staff who ensured she was well supported during transition, was really well cared for and had lots of fun throughout the day. She has recently moved from Buds to Petals and she is so happy and thriving within her learning and development, she really enjoys her time at Sunflower the staff are like our extended family. I love the updates I receive during the day too.

    The nursery is the best for my two children. One of my children has special needs and requires a 1-1 carer at all times, who is amazing and so caring friendly and honest.
    They are all very friendly caring and supportive staff. They have SENCO who, in my case has been wonderful and supportive to meet the needs of my little one.
    Communication with all staff is great and nothing is too much trouble to help and support.
    My children are very happy and do lots of activities which I get to see on the parent app, which to me is essential.
    Fabulous nursery to meet my baby’s needs.

    I can’t begin to express my gratitude to all of the staff at Sunflower Nursery for their support with my children.
    Since they first joined over a year ago, the service has been nothing short of exceptional.
    My eldest has additional needs and requires the input of several healthcare professionals, all of which The Sunflower Nursery kindly accommodate. As an example, through guidance of her physio team, the Sunflower staff have taken on board her exercise programme and work through this each day she attends. I’ve already seen huge improvements in her overall strength and posture and I believe she wouldn’t be where she is now without their ongoing help.
    I’ve seen my children hitting their milestones, grow in confidence, friendships made. They’re doing so well and it’s all down to the staff, activities and services they offer. They enjoy it so much, they don’t want to leave!
    Highly recommend the Sunflower Nursery to anyone! We’re so lucky to have found them!

    I can’t recommend them enough! My son has SEN, we had a pretty bad experience with our previous nursery, not getting the support needed and they had no knowledge of processes with the local authorities to access support for our son, so we moved our son to The Sunflower Children’s Centre and wow, it was the best decision we could of made for him. He is so happy here, the staff go above and beyond to nurture and help the development of each child. Their Senco is amazing and an expert in all things SEN and all of the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The cooks are so helpful trying to help accommodate and come up with ideas to help encourage my son to eat. As a whole, they have helped put so many things into place to ensure that my son’s needs are being met, helping us get an EHCP in progress. Honestly, don’t know where we would be without them and their guidance and support. My son loves attending and that’s down to all of the staff and the amazing environment that they all create.

    My child who has additional needs, poor mobility and feeding requirements started this nursery in January 2023, I was extremely anxious due to having had a bad experience at a previous nursery. Wow, I am so glad I choose this nursery. They go above and beyond for every single child, tailor to their needs, the input and care they give my child is just outstanding. Communication on a day to day basis regarding my childs nappy’s, feeding, mood, nap times, activity’s is fed back to me. Inclusion at this nursery is up there with one of the best, they have trained to feed my child so he’s able to attend, had time with myself to learn a lot more about my child and their conditions and they even practice his physio exercises with him throughout the day. SENDco is fantastic, she really knows what she’s talking about which is SO refreshing, is really approachable and understanding, which makes a huge difference as a nervous and anxious mummy. Thankful and grateful for you all at The Sunflower Children’s Centre!

    My son attended The Sunflower Children’s Centre until he started school, and my daughter started at The Sunflower Children’s Centre in November 2019 at the age of 14 months and she is now in Pre-school. I can honestly say that there is no one else I would trust to look after her – the staff are amazing. They are so professional, yet all of their wonderful personalities shine through and they are so warm and nurturing. My daughter loves coming to nursery – she loves all of the ladies who look after her and especially sports and forest school! The provision is excellent and the team are busy helping to prepare her for school in September, but also ensuring she has lots of fun. All of the staff are friendly and cheerful – not just the nursery teachers, but admin staff too – everyone goes above and beyond. The parents’ and carers’ free sessions such as paediatric First Aid are such a kind and supportive idea. My daughter has blossomed here and it is an honour for her to be at The Sunflower Children’s Centre, Hyde.

    My son really thrives at The Sunflower Children’s Centre. The team are well informed and supports us with any challenges we’re facing. Activities are fun and changed regularly to engage the children. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the children’s development. Overall, really pleased with the care provided.
