It operates 51 weeks a year, closing for Bank Holidays and one week over Christmas. The nursery prides itself on its eco-friendly methods and unique environment, designed to be stimulating and challenging for children. The setting encourages independence, fosters self-esteem, and promotes active learning within a secure and nurturing atmosphere. Sunnydale Nursery is committed to providing a 'home from home' environment where children can develop love, kindness, and resilience. The facility, originally a rundown barn, was converted by co-owner Gavin Bull, a property developer. The nursery's curriculum aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), focusing on prime areas like Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, alongside literacy and mathematics. They offer various attendance options, including full-time, part-time, and government-funded hours, and prioritise current families for transitions. Our ethos Here at Sunnydale Nursery, we provide our children with the opportunity to thrive in a safe, secure and stimulating environment. We believe that children learn best when their interests are catered for and they are outdoors with opportunities to be curious. By providing a home from home environment, we find that our children show love, kindness and resilience. What it's like Outdoor play and learning are central to the effective curriculum. From an early age, children learn about how to take care of themselves when they play. All this is achieved through children being trusted by staff to work things out and assess risks for themselves. Rural setting Eco-friendly approach EYFS curriculum Forest Schools leader ## Pricing & funding The nursery applies an optional consumables charge for children accessing government-funded hours. This charge scales depending on whether the child is accessing 15 or 30 funded hours.

Inspection #10337204 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50254913) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have special plans with their learning aims broken down into achievable steps for them to practise and build on over time. This approach has proved highly successful for children with SEND. Staff have taken on lead roles and are accessing specialised training to support them, including attending special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) training to deepen their knowledge of the role, the responsibilities and legislation governing work with children with SEND. Outdoor space Outdoor play and learning are central to the effective curriculum devised by leaders and staff. Older children independently climb up onto tyres and then confidently jump off. The inspector assessed the quality of education indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact it was having on children's learning, and carried out a joint observation of a spontaneous activity in the forest school area. ## Parent Reviews of Sunnydale Nursery 4.4 (5) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWsUxCSfhlyvyiyz6oRioO9jI7I0s_8fRj4y9P54YMc-Mq-ETzzPw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Peter Donnelly a year ago My boy is 3 years old and has been coming here since he was 8 months, he loves it.
