My little boy started here in the baby room (caterpillars) in January of this year. He had never been left with anyone before I was super nervous however he settled immediately the staff were so warm and welcoming and have a lovely little routine that staff have always kept me updated about. They have an online app that tells me when he has slept, nappy changes etc. He does lots of fun activities and plays outside everyday too. The rooms he is in doesn’t hold an overwhelming amount of children so it gives a real homely feeling knowing the staff can give each children the time and attention they need.
My son’s speech has come on so much since he has started he is now singing full nursery rhymes too, he loves the music and movement sessions they do every day!
The staff are constantly sat with the children and engaging them in activities they know my son so well and keep me updated on what they will be working on with him next. The management team are super friendly too they are really easy to talk to and are happy to answer any queries… it’s great to see managers who actually come in the rooms and play with the children!
RKS BrightSparks is absolutely wonderful!
My son has been attending RKS BrightSparks since 2024, and it has been such a joy to see him thrive here. From day one, he has loved every moment; he always talks about how much he enjoys the environment, and you can tell he feels happy, safe, and excited to go in each day.
The staff are truly exceptional. They are so kind, attentive, patient, and caring; they don’t just look after my little one, they genuinely nurture him. They know every child individually, support their unique needs, and make learning and play fun and meaningful. My little one is an extremely picky eater and they have continue to support him and I have seen tremendous improvements.
Over these years, my son has grown so much; socially, emotionally, and in his confidence and skills. I can see how much he has learned and developed, and that is all thanks to the wonderful team here.
I couldn’t recommend RKS BrightSparks enough. It’s more than just a nursery, it’s a warm, loving second home, and we are so grateful for everything they do.
My toddler Dylan has been with Charlotte for only four months but it feels like ages. She has been amazing since the first day he arrived in January. She provides a warm, homely stay and looks after the children with love. They do so many things with her - days out to the park, the lakes, different playgroups, and also does so many arts and crafts at home. I’ve got so many drawings from Dylan. She really goes all out for special occasions too such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Easter. I am so so happy with Charlotte looking after Dylan and he will stay with her until he goes to school. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. If your baby goes joins for Monday and Tuesdays, Dylan will be their new friend. 🤍

My son loves coming here! Danielle is amazing with him and he loves seeing her and her beautiful family so much! Her home is amazing with the best toys and a proper homely environment! I love dropping him off and knowing he is loved and cared for by such a lovely lady! ❤️
My daughter started with Annette when she was very young at 9 months when I retured to work, she settled into the setting so quickly and Annette has always kept us updated on how she is doing during the day and photos.
She has now attended lillies of the valley for a year and a half. She has thrived during this time and she loves going to the setting during the week.
Her speech has developed and she's is turning into a confident,cheeky toddler. She's learnt colours and numbers and plenty of nursery ryhmes and people always tell me how advanced she is for her age however this is from the help of Annette and Eddie.
Annette always helps me with her development and gives me tips and pointers on how to help her at home to develop and moving onto the next steps.
I always feel reassured that isabella is in the best hands during the days as me and my partner travel a lot for work during the day and know we don't have to worry and can reley on Annette services.
We are very happy with our childminder and would highly recommend her to other families. She is caring, responsible, patient, and genuinely attentive to each child’s individual needs.
My child has been with her since the age of one and is now two years old, so we have been with her for over a year. Throughout this time, she has consistently provided a warm, loving, and safe environment. My child is always happy when I pick them up, which gives me a lot of peace of mind as a parent.
As a parent of three children, I have experience with different types of childcare, including nurseries, and I personally feel that this childminder provides a much more personal and home-like environment. Because the setting is smaller, each child receives more attention and care, and it truly feels welcoming and nurturing.
I truly appreciate the love, patience, and dedication she shows every day. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder.

Initially we only wanted to put our son in care for a day or so, having seen how happy he is, he goes daily as he is thriving. Sophia and the team are great! Fast communication, accommodating to our needs as both my partner and my diaries change for work sometimes. He goes for trips and does lots of activities with daisy daycare. We also get picture updates which MAKE MY DAYs!! We are extremely happy with the care provided and could not recommend enough.
Karen is an exceptional human being who is nurturing, caring, and has an abundance of knowledge within the childcare profession. She helped us immensely in finding the right care for our son and has provided a safe, caring, and stimulating learning environment for him to thrive in for the past 7 months.
Karen caters for children with different needs and ensures they are well socialised and engaged in a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors. She prepares and serves fresh, home-made snacks and meals which vary daily, providing a healthy and balanced diet for the children in her care.
One thing we particularly value is how Karen keeps us updated every day with our son’s development, including pictures and videos of what he has been doing throughout the day. Her communication skills are excellent, both verbal and non-verbal, and she always ensures we are fully informed about our son’s needs and progress.
We couldn’t recommend Karen highly enough. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism truly set her apart, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone we trust completely with our son’s care.
Sarah and Mark have been looking after daughter for over a year and we could not be happier. Choosing someone to look after your child can be incredibly difficult but from our first meeting, Sarah and Mark were responsive, friendly and put our minds at ease. The children are always happy when I see them, our daughter runs in and doesn’t even turn to say bye anymore. Sarah and Mark’s values align with our own and they regularly promote kind manners, caring for each other and fair play. They provide outstanding holistic care to the children, including what food they provide. Meals are well balanced and nutritious. The children are always taken out to different play groups, soft plays and the park, encouraging social skills. We love seeing photos of what our daughter has been up to during the day too. Sarah listens to us when we have concerns and about our child (such as fussy eating) and mirrors what we do at home (when able) to ensure routine is kept. Sarah and Mark are genuinely interested in and care for all the children they look after and this really shows. Our daughter always talks positively about them and their family and is very content in their care. I have no doubt our daughters development is attributed to the amazing care she receives with them. I highly recommend Sarah’s childcare to anyone.
My LB started at the setting in January 2025.
I have had a personal struggle in leaving him in any setting however knew this was the right place for him from the start.
I couldn’t be happier with this nursery. The staff are truly kind, compassionate, and caring, and they create such a warm and nurturing environment for the children. From day one, they made our LB feel safe, happy, and valued, which gave so much reassurance as a parent.
The team genuinely care about each child’s wellbeing and development, and it shows in everything they do. They are patient, attentive, and always go above and beyond to support both the children and their families.
We are incredibly grateful for all the love, care, and dedication they show, and we would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe and supportive place for their child.
My daughter has been cared for by Jahanara for over 5 months. She has never been comfortable with other childminders, yet with Jahanara she settled in within just two days. Jahanara is dedicated, patient, and nurturing, and she has been very understanding of different circumstances, offering extra help whenever needed. Her meals are well prepared, and I am often pleasantly surprised at how my daughter tries and enjoys new foods in her care.
Since being in Jahanara’s care, my daughter’s vocabulary and communication skills have improved greatly. She is learning new words every day, becoming more confident in expressing herself, and I can clearly see the positive impact of the one-to-one care and attention Jahanara provides. Jahanara always does her best to support her development and gives one-to-one care to the best of her ability, making my daughter feel valued, supported, and encouraged to learn.
Jahanara keeps me updated throughout the day with text messages, development updates, and information about meals, which greatly reduces my stress and allows me to focus at work. My daughter has learned so many things and has made wonderful memories in Jahanara’s care. She provides a safe, stimulating, and welcoming environment where children feel supported and encouraged. She promotes learning through play, adapts activities to each child’s individual needs, and communicates very well with parents. I feel confident that my daughter is thriving under her care.

We hired April for our first sitter for our 7mth boy, and we had a very positive experience.
Communication throughout the process was very good and April was very punctual and made sure that we knew everything that happened during the sit when we returned home.
Considering this was our first time with a babysitter, our LO was very happy when we returned and looked well taken care of. I think he started to miss April when she left, a good sign!
April also made sure that we were kept up to date during the sit and asked all the right questions to make sure that our LO had his needs met.
We will 100% use April again and would recommend, thanks for the good experience April :)

We were so lucky to find Donna, after an awful experience at a nursery we were extremely anxious about leaving our child. Donna was very reassuring and nurturing. Our child is thriving in her care, the children have so many lovely trips out and lots of interesting and exciting activities. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Sarah is such an amazing person. She children were with her for some time and they really enjoyed their stay with her. I had a peace of mind whenever they are with her because I knew they are in good hands. My 1 year boy is always happy seeing her. I will recommend her all the time. Thank you Sarah

We cannot recommend Frances highly enough! Our daughter started with her at just 9 months old and absolutely thrived in her care — growing in confidence daily and always excited to go to ‘school’ to see her carers and friends. Frances runs a warm, nurturing, and wonderfully structured home nursery environment, and her patience, creativity, and genuine love for the children in her care is evident.
Frances is honest, reliable, professional, caring, and we feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to sending our youngest daughter to her in the next few months. 🌟
We moved our daughter to Sunnyside few months ago. Within just few weeks my daughter settled in so well and is thriving here. Kerry and team do an amazing job of creating a loving and caring environment for the children. My daughter loves going here every day and looks forward to it. Kerry and team provide fresh food everyday here and organized new learning activities to keep the children engaged. I am so happy with the decision to send my daughter to Sunnyside. It’s such loving home away from home. My daughter loves the garden in Kerry’s house. It’s her favorite time of the day to play in the garden with Kerry and other children. They also put in extra effort to organize play activities in the garden such as play castle that my daughter loves. I highly recommend this place and appreciate all the effort the team puts in to take care of our children
I can’t recommend Harmeet highly enough. She has been absolutely wonderful with my baby, showing genuine care, patience, and warmth from day one. It’s clear how much she truly enjoys what she does, and that shines through in the way she interacts—always attentive, gentle, and engaging.
My baby is completely comfortable with her and genuinely happy in her presence, which gives me so much peace of mind. Harmeet is reliable, responsible, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.
It’s not easy to trust someone with your child, but with Harmeet, I feel completely confident. She has made such a positive impact on our daily routine, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her.
Nicole “Nic Nic” has been an absolute blessing to our family. My son started with Nicole when he was just 1 year old, and from day one she made both him and me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Leaving your child with someone while you work is never easy, but Nicole’s nurturing nature and genuinely caring attitude reassured me straight away that he was in the best hands.
Over the nearly two years we’ve been with Nicole, she has played such a huge part in my little one’s development and growth. The love, patience, and attention she gives to every child truly shows in everything they achieve. She keeps me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which always bring so much comfort and joy while we’re apart.
Nicole has taught my little one so much — his confidence, communication, and understanding have come on amazingly, and now we can have proper little conversations with him, which is incredible to see. In fact, collection time can sometimes be difficult for his dad because he’d happily stay longer with Nicole rather than leave, which says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels in her care.
I honestly could not recommend Nicole highly enough to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their child. She treats every child as if they were her own, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for our son.
