Bunnies Daycare

About this day nursery

Bunnies Daycare, located in the residential area of Combs Ford, south of Stowmarket, provides a nurturing and home-like environment for children aged birth to eight years old. The nursery operates with a unique single-story, open-plan layout, promoting a sense of unity and allowing for seamless interaction across age groups, while still offering dedicated areas for babies and older children.

They prioritise a safe and stimulating atmosphere where children can learn and thrive through play, offering a diverse selection of materials and equipment. The staff, described as highly qualified and dedicated, follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and are trained in Makaton, a communication programme that uses signs and symbols.

The setting emphasises individual development, recognising that each child progresses at their own pace, and designs activities to support their specific age and stage. Bunnies Daycare also boasts a secure outdoor paved garden with shelter for year-round play and a comprehensive full-day care service with flexible hourly bookings and no set session times.

They aim to exceed regulatory staff-to-child ratios to ensure enhanced care and attention.

Our ethos

Bunnies Daycare's pedagogical approach is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, with staff trained in Makaton. They foster a nurturing, home-like atmosphere in an open-plan setting that encourages inter-age interaction, prioritising individual development and learning through play in a safe and stimulating environment.

What it's like

Staff create strong bonds with children and their families, helping children to settle quickly. They are attentive to children's cues, providing extra support when needed, and warmly greet them. The room is well-sectioned, allowing children to make independent choices and engage in imaginative play like dressing up.

Pricing & funding

Fees are charged on an hourly basis, with rates structured by age bands for babies under two and children aged two and over. Additional charges apply for meals, snacks, and sundries, though parents can supply their own nappies and wipes to avoid extra costs. A sibling discount is available.
