Children play in a stimulating and well organised environment, which enables them to develop and flourish. Practitioners support children well and demonstrate a very good understanding of children's individual stages of development.
"Our 2 elder children have been attending Sunshine for a year now
and we are thrilled with their progress. They are always very happy to
arrive at Sunshine and often ask to go at the weekend and even when they
are ill. The staff are excellent, being compassionate, caring and
nurturing, whilst also being skilled at developing children's potential
and are always looking to encourage their interest in a wide variety of
areas. The nursery is very well equipped with a huge variety of
Montessori activities which stimulate and challenge the children. The
children work together, fostering a spirit of respect and trust. The
outdoor activities are numerous and the children enjoy an environment
where they can learn at their own pace, building confidence and self
esteem. The atmosphere is fantastically supportive celebrating each
child's individuality. Virginia Roden and her team are providing the
best possible start to our children's education, developing creativity,
numerical, language and social skills." - Zoe Torr
" Thank you and everyone at Sunshine for all your hard work,
dedication and love you have shown Jerome and the whole family. I'm so
glad you talked me into coming to Sunshine at Wheeler End. It's been so
wonderful for me in terms of not having to rush around and pick him up
at the end of the day. Knowing that he's fed and happy is such a bonus
too. Virginia, your team are a credit to you and the nursery - without a
good boss you don't get good staff, and that shows through and through.
THANK YOU again to you and your team." - Monique Burke
