At Sunshine Day Nursery, we are dedicated to providing high quality childcare. We offer each individual child a safe, secure and caring environment. We provide a wide range of stimulating and purposeful activities. This will allow each child to pursue their own interests and goals in order to promote and enhance their development. We are committed to the principals of the inclusion of children with special needs and of equal opportunities we ensure that all children are treated equally regardless of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender or disability.

The staff at Sunshine Nursery, Saltley all have nationally recognised childcare qualifications NNEB and NVQ Level 3 and a wealth of childcare experiences. The nursery has regular government OFSTED inspections to ensure that the quality of care and education is consistent and of a high standard. A copy of the OFSTED inspection report is displayed on the parents’ and carers’ notice board and is available upon request.

Every child will have a named key worker who will be responsible for helping your child settle into nursery. Your child’s key worker will be responsible for keeping development assessments and records on your child. Regular nursery review meetings are held throughout the year. These meetings enable key workers, parents, carers and managers to share information and discuss your child’s development and progress.
Whilst attending nursery, children will be able to access the nursery library loan scheme. Parents are asked to bring their child’s library books to nursery on a regular basis. Inspire workshops are held twice a year for children and their parents/carers. Inspire workshops aim to provide the opportunity for you to become involved with your child’s learning. In addition to this, the workshops will allow you to spend fun time with your child and help them learn through play. View Article
