All About Sunny Days Nurseries
We have been supporting families across Dorset and Devon with high-quality childcare and education for 30 years. With all of our settings rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, you can trust us to provide exceptional care in a warm, nurturing environment.
Our Core Values
We create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children can learn, play, and grow.
Everything we do is guided by our core values:
- Smile: Smiling communicates happiness and is infectious.
- Strive: We promote learning, being open to change, resilience, and high expectations in our nurseries.
- Safe: Safety is paramount in our nurseries.
- Support: Work within a network of incredible professionals who will support you throughout your career.
Our Team
Our staff, affectionately known as ‘Sunny Days Stars’, are either professionally qualified or undertaking their apprenticeship. This is done through our sister company, Side by Side Training. The Side by Side trainers and assessors are highly experienced childcare professionals. They provide training for Sunny Days staff, and also work in collaboration with other colleges in the area.
Following the EYFS Curriculum
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum, using play-based and structured activities to nurture emotional, social, physical, and cognitive growth – helping children gain the skills and confidence for their next stage of learning.
Our Nurseries
We are incredibly proud of each of our nurseries, which are based in Dorchester, Bridport, Honiton, and Broadstone. Each of these settings are designed to support your child’s development, with age-appropriate facilities and resources tailored to meet their needs.
Nutrition That Fuels Growth
We know how important it is to fuel growing minds and bodies, therefore, health and nutrition is incredibly important to us. You can find details specific to each of our nurseries on the relevant location page.
Community and Family
We work at building strong partnerships with parents and the local community. We believe that every family deserves to feel welcome and supported, creating a sense of belonging that lasts long after nursery days are over.
