Dance
Sunshine promote dance sessions, designed to enhance your child's coordination and rhythm. The music which we dance to may be linked to our country of the month, exposing children to different genres, rhythms, and styles of dance. We have so much fun in our dance classes, we use ribbons, hoops, active games, and instruments to get the beat going!
Rugby
Sunshine work closely with Rugby tots, offering weekly rugby sessions, which the children love! See the Rugby Tots story.
Cookery
Cookery Club - At Sunshine we provide cookery classes to all children. This teaches children about the importance of healthy eating, lifestyles, different food types, and cultures. Children enjoy exploring food and cooking, this provides many learning opportunities such as exploring textures, senses, colours, flavours to reading, communicating, teamwork, measuring, and developing fine motor skills.
Yoga
At Sunshine, we provide children with the opportunity to participate in Yoga classes every day. Yoga has many benefits for children such as giving them confidence, promoting being healthy, improves concentration, reduces any worries, improves balance, and introduces mindfulness.
Gardening club
Sunshine Gardening club provides children with the opportunity to develop a love and sense of care for the environment around them. In our Sunshine Garden children participate in planting our own fruit, vegetables, and plants, taking care of them, and observing them as they grow. This provides the children with a sense of responsibility, achievement, teamwork, and many learning opportunities.
Makaton
At Sunshine we celebrate inclusivity and have a Makaton sign of the week, using these in our daily practice. Makaton helps children to communicate, using signs and symbols. Makaton coincides with spoken language and is used with speech. These help children who may be non-verbal or have English as an additional language to communicate with one another.
Dough Disco
Dough disco is a favourite and has many developmental benefits. We dance to music and use small and large movements with the playdough to enhance our hand eye coordination, self esteem, fine and gross motor skills.
Country of the month celebrations
Each month sunshine celebrates a different country. This provides children with the opportunity to be exposed to the wider world and communities around them. We celebrate different cultures, religions and beliefs. We explore the foods, animals, landscapes, houses, traditional clothing, language and music.

What our parents say
My daughter loves this nursery. She has learnt so much from staff here. All staff are very welcoming and kind. They’re able to cater to my child’s needs in regards to her allergies, which is good for me and gives me peace of mind that she is in safe hands! You’re able to keep track of your child’s day by the online service which is excellent. One hundred percent would recommend this nursery to any parent wanting to place their child in nursery.
Shakiyla R
Most of the staff are very kind and friendly. They make you feel confident to leave your child in their hands. They communicate well and listen to you, which I think is important. My son is used to staff and seems happy there.
Makeme K
My little girl loves going to nursery and even asks to go in during weekends! Staff are friendly and take any requests into consideration. Love the app, great when your working and want to check if she is eating. The outdoor space is great, she loves playing outside with the mud kitchen. Overall, a very good nursery and would recommend it highly.

It's my pleasure to recommend Sunshine Community Nursery to anyone who is interested in enrolling their children in the school. Although it has been a short time my son was enrolled into the school, but I must say, I'm very pleased with the education he is receiving from the school.
My son's progress is amazing and really enjoys coming to school. The teaching staffs are very good and nurturing and developing the children's academic skills as well as social interaction.
I recommend Sunshine Community Nursery to everyone because the school is very welcoming and has a very safe environment.

All the staff at the nursery are friendly and welcoming. My child has attended since he was a few months old and he is now four. Never had an issues with child development or health and safety. Very good at open and honest communication with parents and a great setting for your little ones development and social goals to be met. Highly recommend this nursery for its devotion to teaching and guiding your little ones through some important years.
