What our families say
We asked local families about their experience at Sunshine Pre-School. Here's what they told us.
What made you pick Sunshine?
"I always like that the setting focuses on nurturing a child rather than ticking boxes."
Parent
"Heard good reviews about here from others and social media also suggested it was a nice setting for the children."
Parent
"We had a lovely feeling of a homely run school when we went to visit the first time and I personally felt like I connected perfectly with the view Andrea had of what a nursery should offer to a child. I also loved chatting to Tori whilst we were there - she was (and still is!) very reassuring every time I talk to her."
Parent
"Sunshine Pre-School & Nursery was recommended by friends whose children attend here. It's also an added bonus that we live quite close too! Our tour and settling in sessions were brilliant."
Parent
"It didn't feel just like a nursery setting - it felt more like a family. Very warm, friendly and welcoming and I just knew my child would be happy."
Parent
"Ofsted reports, recommendations through friends and family members. Friendly staff members and a beautiful safe setting."
Parent
"Our older child had already attended and we knew how comfortable they would make the experience for us as parents and the children."
Parent
"Warm and friendly staff, kids seemed really happy there and we liked how much outdoor play is encouraged no matter the weather. Also saw great reviews online!"
Parent
What do you like the most?
"Amount of time the children get to spend outside."
Parent
"I love the homely environment that you provide. And the activities that you do with the kids."
Parent
"I love they're all very approachable, very understanding and accommodating to the personal needs of the children and they adapt to you."
Parent
"What is there not to like? I have never encountered a day where my child has never wanted me when I leave, cried for me or even upset that I'm not even there. She has fit in with Sunshine and I whole heartedly thank you for that. She has settled in remarkably well in her first year and I am so happy that she is happy. She always has a smile on her face and doesn't want to leave. That's down to each and every one of you. A special shout out to Lucy for being my daughter's little 'bestie'. And also a massive thank you to Tori as well, for toilet training my daughter. I couldn't have done it without her guidance, confidence boost and all round care. You're all brilliant!! But I also would like to know why my child eats all of your food at mealtimes but not mine at home - what's your secret?! She loves it all, plus second helpings!!"
Parent
"That Sunshine feels like a home from home environment. All the staff go above and beyond to create something new for the children to learn about and it's amazing to see. The location is great, super safe! So much to explore and play with."
Parent
"How friendly and warm the staff are, how well they get to know the children and the fact it's a small setting means more attention can be given to each child. Also the range of activities that you put on for the kids each day."
Parent
Does your child enjoy coming in?
"Always excited in the mornings and never have any issues at drop off. Come home happy and tired."
Parent
"Yes, she comes home happy and tired - a sign of a good day. She has also made loads of friends."
Parent
"Absolutely, it's difficult to pull her away! Constant smiles, talking about her day, bringing home baked goods (I'm not allowed any!) and pictures that she has made (not for me either!)."
Parent
"Yes, he loves coming to Sunshine now. At first not so much, but now he's settled and made some friendships he loves coming. As soon as we mention school he's waiting by the back door to get into the car - doesn't even want to give us a goodbye hug or kiss! He tells us after school that he's had a good day, but we're still learning words and sentences so his body language is what screams he's had a good time. And with the amount of time the children spend outside in all conditions it's really helped - before he would only entertain leaving when the sun was out, now he'll happily put his coat on and his wellies and off he goes. Not to mention he is now super amazing at putting his hat on during the sunny days where before it was a complete battle. This is all thanks to the amazing staff at Sunshine!"
Parent
"Yes he enjoys his time at Sunshine. Usually when we pick him up he is always beaming and full of excitement telling us about all the things he's been doing that day."
