How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children benefit from time spent outdoors. They explore the inviting outdoor play space with confidence and independence, developing their small and large muscles as they use balance bikes, climb and take their 'babies for walks', pushing dolls' buggies. Staff provide many opportunities for children to chalk and colour, practising their early writing skills.

My child speech and language changes for good in less than 3 months of joining. Initially, his former nursery were proposing scheduling an appointment with a therapist but fortunately we moved from location and got here. One of the best things that happens to us. My child now speak freely, expresses himself better, teachers are good at what they do, carry every child along. My child love going to nursery even more. Well done to the team of amazing teachers.

Love this nursery! My daughter loves going and will run in without even saying bye! Always so happy and gets on with the staff great. The owner has always been very accommodating on last min changes either for switches or extra hours and it’s very much appreciated. Couldn’t recommend anywhere better. They always do great activities every week to help the children develop. Thank you

My daughter has been attending Sunflowers nursery since she was 1 years old. She has always enjoyed attending nursery and although she can sometimes go in very quiet I have no concerns as I know as soon as she’s inside the girls inside are warm kind and welcoming to her! By the time it’s pick up time she always comes out smiling after enjoying her day! The sunflowers team are very good at providing regular progress updates for your child/children and also advise what can be worked on at home to help further development. Thank you all x

All three of my grandchildren have been to this nursery, always come out with smiles on their faces. Staff are amazing with them. Very supportive and always greet me with a smile, kept up to date on how they are getting on with their development.

My little boy has been going to My Sunflowers for 3 years since he was around 6 months old and he loves it! Apart from when he doesn't love anything at all but he's 3, it goes with the territory. All the girls have been great throughout and although we can't currently go in at all we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or even send another child (God help me). The day rates are very good indeed when looking at nursery care and the full day includes all 3 meals without any extra costs on top. Opening times of 7.30 - 6 also help massively with our work schedule so we can't really complain at all. I miss being able to go in and chase down my child as he legs it away because he doesn't want to go home though. They've also just invested in new outdoor play furniture and they go on little walks out which is super cute 😍 obviously accompanied 🤷‍♂️
