Our Vision
We perceive our role at Sunnyside nursery as extending the child’s learning to progress from home. We value parents as the child’s first and most important educator and work to develop positive relationships with each family. Therefore, we exist to support and develop each individual child in our care to their full potential. We strive to ensure that every child moves on to the next stage of their education as self-confident, inquiring, creative, independent thinkers who care for and respect others.
