Sunrise Day Nursery
Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Sutton Coldfield for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2024. Open since 2005, with 62 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff are very nurturing. They surround all children with lots of love and comfort, where required. This helps children to feel safe and settled at nursery. Staff use what they know about the children to help calm them down when they become slightly unsettled. This works extremely well. Staff softly remind children of the rules, where required. This helps children to understand what is expected of them.
Children behave extremely well. Babies enjoy joining in with familiar songs and rhymes. They smile and laugh as they join in with some of the sounds and actions.
Older children show their imagination as they 'make up' their own stories during mark-making activities. Staff work well in partnership with others. This helps to ensure all children receive the consistency they require.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the organisation of activities and/or resources in order to support all children to become fully immersed in the learning experiences on offer n support staff to provide greater opportunities for older children to develop their problem-solving skills.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? 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.
