Funded hours
15 or 30 hours free childcare for 3-5 year olds, 15 or 30 hours for two year olds, and 30 hours for children 9 months to two years, for 38 weeks.
Worth knowing. We will deduct the amount provided to us by the local authority from the full fee if parents need childcare over their funded hours.

What it is like to attend
Children at this small, calm nursery settle well into the daily routine. They form good attachments with staff, who care for them and help them to make friends.
Children enjoy a comprehensive curriculum through a range of adult-led and childinitiated activities. Children engage fully with their play and concentrate on tasks which they finish to completion. They smile proudly when staff acknowledge their efforts and offer praise for their achievements.
Children make good friendships at nursery. As their peers arrive in the morning, they greet them cheerfully. This helps children feel welcome and experience a positive start to their day. Staff are clear about the nursery rules and help children to understand how to behave to keep everyone safe. Children navigate the stairs carefully when it is time to go out, they help tidy toys away when they finish playing and they are respectful to others. This supports children's understanding of expected behaviour and allows them to make a positive contribution.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help children to learn the vocabulary they need to recognise, name and express their feelings n embed recently improved supervision arrangements to support staff reflection and continue to improve practice across the setting.

Still missing for Sunrise Day Nursery
- What it costs
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
