About this day nursery

Sunshine Corner Day Nursery, established in 1999, offers a welcoming and friendly environment for children aged 2 to 4 years. Based in Brandon, IP27 9HF, this "Good" rated nursery (Ofsted, August 2021) operates all year round from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm, closing only for one week in December.

Children are warmly greeted by staff, fostering a sense of safety and security where they learn to consider the feelings and needs of others. The nursery places a high priority on supporting children's developing speech and language skills.

Staff are adept at identifying and addressing any delays, seeking professional support when necessary. The indoor and outdoor areas are thoughtfully arranged to offer a broad range of activities that build on children's interests.

Outdoors, children can confidently explore and make choices, enthusiastically experimenting with ingredients like pasta, rice, and fresh herbs in the outdoor kitchen to create imaginative concoctions. Staff actively engage in play, introducing new vocabulary and supporting children in their discoveries.

Parents commend the nursery's activities, communication, and support. Children develop strong bonds with their key person and other staff, who provide increasing expectations to foster independence and prepare them for school.

The nursery supports children in developing basic self-care skills, understanding safety, and beginning to recognise their name, colours, and numbers. While the nursery has a strong understanding of children's home lives and individual needs, they are working to enhance opportunities for children to share their diverse languages, traditions, and cultural practices.
