Review submitted from a Website Submission by Emma B (Mother of Child) on Monday 31 August 2015. Review relates to August 2015.
Both our children have attended Sunflowers over a period of 4 years and last week was our sons final day at this wonderful nursery. We wanted the best for our children and Sunflowers was recommended to us...from the moment we walked in to look around, we knew it was where we wanted our children to be. After all, every parent knows how precious their children are and how they need to feel that they are safe and loved wherever they are. Sunflowers instantly feels warm and friendly when you walk in the door, the children are always happy and laughing and the staff so welcoming. The Manager and her team strive to make it a safe and happy environment and always have the children's best interests at heart. We have watched our two children grow in confidence and in knowledge and this has been nurtured by the sunflowers team. We would like to extend our extreme gratitude to the Manager and all the team at sunflowers, we will all miss you.
