Sunbeams Day Nursery

Opportunities for family members to be involved with their children's time at Sunbeams. We work with you as parents to help your child be the best they can be. We listen to you and get to know your child to guide them through a wide range of activities according to their interests.

Our children experience a huge range of activities both at nursery and on trips to the local community, exploring their way through the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) and beyond.Whilst there is never a dull moment and plenty of excitement there is always a calm, nurturing environment, always ready to help children reflect on what they have learned, what they feel and who they are.

On the ground floor, with large windows children of all ages are excited to see the dogs, birds and vehicles as the local community go about their day. With interlinking rooms, the children and staff get to know each other by communicating as appropriate, with different age groups. Babies learn through their senses and with a homely feel our baby room provides lots for them to see, touch, move around and explore.

All children are eligible for 15 hours of funding per week from the term after their 3rd birthday, for 38 weeks per year. There is also an additional 15 hours available for some children from this time. Where parents earn at least the equivalent of 16 hours per week at the National Minimum Wage (and no more than 100,000 p.a.), children will be entitled to the additional 15 hours.

At Sunbeams Day Nursery, we treat all children as individuals and provide flexible care and routines to meet their needs. Here is information about what support and services Sunbeams Day Nursery provides for children and their families with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). How will Sunbeams Day Nursery know if my child needs extra help and what should I do if I think my child may have special educational needs?.

Sunbeams has two managers who share the role, each working 3-4 days per week: Alison, a qualified teacher and Kirsty, an early years teacher. Making a great team, they are highly organised and manage the staff and day-to-day running of the nursery with strong leadership skills. Our deputy manager, Beth has an Early Childhood degree and assists the managers, helping them to deliver high standards across the nursery.
