Inclusion & environment
Children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive effective support. For example, staff support families to access services such as speech and language therapists.
Toddlers concentrate as they use water to carefully paint the fence outdoors. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
Wonderful caring nursery. Amazing parent reviews!
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with Sunshine. Our eldest has attended since they were 9 months old right through to starting reception, and still happily goes after-school. Our 18-month-old is currently there, and it’s been just as positive an experience. Both of our children have absolutely thrived in their care. It’s clear that the staff genuinely love what they do. They are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. We’ve always felt confident leaving our children with them, knowing they are safe, happy, and encouraged to grow. The nurturing environment they provide has made such a difference to our children, and it’s lovely to see how excited they are to go each day. We’re incredibly grateful for the care, dedication, and support the team shows to both children and parents alike. We would highly recommend Sunshine to anyone.
