As well as their child-centred early years curriculum, they provide a caring, home-like environment with plenty of time for cuddles and of course rest time when the individual baby or child needs it. Their nurseries are organised into four different rooms, each catering for the needs of babies and children of different ages and development stages. Children can learn from children of their own age group and children slightly older from themselves. Sliding doors between rooms mean they can slowly venture, when they’re ready, onto the next area. Each child is very different; some want to engage in structured activities whereas others prefer to explore in their own way, in their experience most like to do both! Within Sunbeams they operate a ‘key worker’ system which means that your child will get to know a small group of Nursery Nurses who can become familiar with your child’s individual needs.

Their first nursery was opened in Merrow, Guildford in September 2002. Our aim was to provide a home from home care centred around the strong family values of caring and nurturing. These sentiments are echoed by the company’s shareholders, who are all members of the same family. In the last year their Guildford nursery has grown into a place that they are all very proud of and they are looking forward to the future with great excitement. They became the proud caretakers of Starfish, Farnham in November 2003 and along with Farnham 6th Form College, where the nursery is based, they hope to provide the same level of service that our parents and children at Guildford receive.

At Starfish Nurseries, they encourage caring and respectful attitudes towards others, whether staff or children. Great care has been taken in the design of their Nurseries, to see from a child’s viewpoint; from key coloured handprints guiding them around the nursery, to the array of facilities all at a child’s eye level to stimulate their imaginations from day one.

Starfish children, from 3 months, through toddling times to pre-school, will find their nurseries a stimulating and reassuring environment, assuring their transition from home to nursery is a smooth journey.
