Sunshine Fruits Nursery is based on Montessori principles and we are an accredited Montessori nursery with the Montessori Centre International. This means that your child discovers the intrinsic value of learning, develops excellent communication and social skills, and demonstrates academic achievements beyond their years. 

The baby room is primarily lead by the Early Years Foundation Stage, with a transition space to introduce key Montessori materials and principles. The preschool room is fully Montessori, with the full Montessori curriculum on offer all day, every day.  

 We believe your child is set up for the best start at nursery when they feel comfortable, supported and encouraged.

When a child joins us at Sunshine Fruits Nursery we hold a one-to-one session with you and your child to understand your child's needs, current routines, likes and current development. 

Your child will then have two further settle sessions with us. First, they will spend a morning, lunch and nap with us. Finally, a short day covering a play session, lunch, nap, snack and local outing, so they have seen all aspects of the nursery routine before their big first day. 

Sunshine Fruits are highly committed to keeping an open and two-way dialogue with you to best serve the needs of you and your child. 

We pride ourselves on the quality and frequency of communication with our parents. All parents receive daily pictures and a short description of their child's learning through an online app. Each term the room leader will discuss your child's development with a written report on their progress, with suggestions on continuing your child's learning at home.
