Empress Avenue, Ilford

My son started the sunflower at the age of two and still attends the nursery nearly 2 years later. If you are looking for a warm, caring, professional and exceptional care for your child, I would recommend this place. Great staff and very well run.

I pulled my son out of another local nursery because he failed to settle. However, at the sunflower he settled within 2 days, no tears and two years later he is still going in and coming out of the nursery with a huge smile, eager to walk in and in no rush to leave. That is a testament to the exceptional care he receives from all the wonderful aunties who look after him with so much patience and dedication. They are simply amazing.

I feel supported and listened to about any concerns I have however trivial.

The nursery also has a parents WhatsApp group where we get updates on what’s going on within the setting, which is an added bonus as it keeps parents connected to the nursery in a more meaningful way.

This is a great nursery and I’ve noticed many improvements in my child’s speech and language, as well as social skills since attending. The staff have built a great relationship with my children, and I have the utmost trust leaving my children in their care. My children have become more outspoken and always leave with a smile on their faces at home time. The children engage in many educational age-appropriate activities that are fun and beneficial for them and I can keep track of their progress on the Famly App. Overall, I’d recommend this nursery for any parents who are unsure about what childcare arrangements to organise for their children, the staff receive you well and treat you with respect!

I’m absolutely happy with this nursery. My first daughter attended there already and I was through out so happy that my youngest is attending now as well since 1 1/2 years. She was very shy as she started. If I would go out with her to the playground for example she would not play anywhere where other children were queuing because she was so shy, she preferred playing all by herself, since she is attending sunflower nursery she is outgoing, she is very social and made many friends. The stuff is lovely, they are so very committed and absolutely love what they are doing. They have always a open ear for any concerns or questions and are always doing their very best to help. They learning with the children in a fun environment and about many different topics, sometimes a new topic comes out of interest the children have shown in a conversation. Now my daughter did not just learn the usual like letters and numbers and seasons, they learned about space, people who help and many things more. I love that my daughter at her young age has already a wide spectrum of knowledge and sunflower nursery deserve a big praise for this. They do a extraordinary job and I would always choose them again.

We're very pleased with Sunflower Nursery and it was an excellent choice for us. We researched and visited 13 different nurseries in and around Redbridge and Sunflower by far was the best.

What was most impressive were the staff and the way they worked together as a team. Sunflower has a good mix of senior and junior staff members and a good balance of professional and nurturing environment.

Our child is an SEN child and I can't thank them enough for the help and support they provided. A few months into our child settling in we realized our child will need extra support and the staff were happy to take on board the feedback recommended by the external occupational therapist.

Sunflower also shared updates with us via the Famly app to note progress and any significant events, this also allowed us to also share with the nursery what our child likes to do/ progress at home as well.

The staff are always welcoming and open to feedback and did their level best to cater for our child's needs

Could not have asked for a better nursery. All the team at Sunflower have been nothing but lovely to our family and our two children. They treat the children with love care and patience our children's stories about the love aunties provide are testament to this. Children speak the truth, Fatima you have done an Amazing job building a great nursery with lovely Aunties ❤️I tell everyone about the quality of care my boys have received with you all and for me no other nursery can compare. Sunflower is home from home, and I trust all the Aunties completely. They have been so understanding on so many levels from fees to settling. just Thank you all of you for treating my children like your children. My eldest whose 12 still remembers the great time he had with you all and the fun warm caring Aunties. Saika Khan very happy parent x

Absolutely amazing place. My son is very attached to me, but this is the only place he is always ready to head off to! He gets up and starts climbing into his pram when he knows he has nursery! Would definitely recommend! Staff are excellent and friendly, but most importantly my son loves it here!

Very happy with the how professional and nurturing the staff are. My kids have always developed well in all areas and are given the best start to their early years life. They’ve always enjoyed going into nursery which says a lot.
