My Sunshine Day Nursery and Pre-School Barnes

About this day nursery

My Sunshine Day Nursery and Pre-School Barnes provides care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years, operating 51 weeks a year with closures only for bank holidays and the Christmas/New Year week. The nursery offers flexible hours from 8am to 6pm, with options for early drop-off at 7:30am and late pick-up until 6:30pm for additional fees.

Recognising the importance of a smooth start, the nursery offers a personalised settling-in period of up to six sessions over two weeks, gradually increasing in length to ensure each child transitions comfortably. A minimum attendance of two days per week is required to ensure continuity of care.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on fostering social, intellectual, cultural, physical, and emotional development within a nurturing and secure environment. Dedicated development programmes include a variety of creative activities, language learning, early computer skills, and emergent reading and writing.

The primary focus is on the happiness, well-being, and holistic development of each child, aiming to create an inclusive space where every child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to reach their full potential. They also prioritise strong relationships with parents, offering regular meetings and encouraging parental involvement in their child's learning journey, utilising the FAMLY® app for daily updates and interaction.
