Our Approach

At Sunshine Day Nursery, we believe that every child is unique and has their own way of learning.Your child is cherished, loved and precious to you.That's why we incorporate a variety of teaching methods to cater to each child's individual needs.

Providing education and care for children between the ages of 4 months and 5 years and allowing them to be cared for by others requires trust. A world of discovery awaits and every day is an adventure during the precious and exciting early years of life.

At sunshine nursery, we ensure your child embarks on these adventures in a loving, safe and stimulating setting learning about their world in a warm and welcoming way.

We believe in the uniqueness of each child, in embracing their individuality and encouraging personal expression. Our dedicated team is passionate about seeing your child flourish and to help them reach their full learning potential through innovative, creative and focussed play.

Our History

Sunshine Day Nursery is an independent nursery established in 1991 with the mission of providing high-quality early childhood education to the local community. Since then, we have grown and expanded to become one of the most respected nurseries and preschool in the area.

Set in a large detached house close to the city centre and with a spacious play-friendly garden, we have carefully created a family atmosphere to establish a ‘home away from home’ feeling for your child.

We believe that keeping communication flowing between parents and the nursery is essential.

Your child’s learning and development will be recorded and shared with you through an online parent portal by their key person whose role is to nurture your child’s learning and development.

“Just a brilliant place for our little one to find his feet. They allow him to flourish to be a confident young boy.
The team always recognised his strengths and weaknesses and worked to focus on what made him unique.”

“Sunshine is a lovely little nursery where all the staff are always so friendly and warm. My boy had a really lovely relationship with all the staff members and we’ll be so sad to leave. I always got good updates on the app and from the staff and my son was always happy on pickup. I’d absolutely recommend this nursery for the staff, but also if you'd like a smaller, more intimate setting.”

“Excellent nursery! My daughter was almost running every morning to go and spend a lovely time with everyone there. Good service, communication, and they treat every child with love and respect. She learnt so much, and it was a relief to have her there while I carry on working full time during the pandemic. Thanks, Sunshine!”

“You all made a very big difference in our lives when he moved to sunshine and it’s the best decision we’ve ever made!!! I will miss knowing that he is happy and so well cared for every day.”

“Sunshine is the perfect setting for a nursery. The staff are so lovely and caring towards the children, and the children love them! The activities are always interesting and creative, as well as educational. My child has often surprised me with what he has learnt at nursery, i.e. a new song he sings or a new phrase he has learnt!

“Both of my children have attended this nursery, my youngest will be leaving to start school in September. They both loved it there and loved all of the staff there. The staff were so friendly, and the children learned so much in preparation for school; they are faultless. The activities they do with the children are wonderful; they have a fun-filled day each time they attend there. The children also love the homemade food that is made there. We will be so sad to say goodbye to Sunshine nursery. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for my children.”

“I honestly couldn't think of a better place (a family) to take care of and be a pivotal influence in my son's early learning experience. He has been with the Sunshine family for two years finishing now before going into his next adventure of Year R at Infant School. He has made many friends there and is always excited to go to Sunshine in the mornings to see his friends and all the staff there who embrace every child in their own individuality, showing love, friendship and guidance. I have found the specific individual feedback on learning is excellent, and the hands-on mutual team involvement in my son's Speech Therapy (Sunshine liaising directly with the necessary third party's) and also that crucial potty training was exceptionally reassuring, which resulted in swift success. I am explaining to my son he won't be going back to Sunshine after the end of next week so he can move on to his new adventure, however, we will both shed a tear for leaving our extended family.”

“Sunshine Pre-School and Day Nursery is a warm, friendly and welcoming environment for all children. My daughter started at the peak of the pandemic which was a difficult time for everyone, but the manager and staff gave reassurance where needed. Since being at Sunshine my daughter is more confident and grown into her own personality. Staff are professional and caring, taking time to give each parent feedback about their child after each session. They also use an app, which is a great tool for communication between staff and parents. I would recommend Sunshine Nursery to anyone.”
