Welcome to Sunshine
1 Nursery & 3 Pre-schools
One guarantee of qualified childcare
Sunshine Nursery & Pre-schools has been established in Guernsey for nearly 20 years. Proprietor, Rachael Hockey SRN, originally trained in England as a nurse, moving to live and work in Guernsey in 1977.
As a young working mother with two daughters, Rachael knew what she wanted for them when the time came to go to pre-school. With adequate playgroups and pre-schools thin on the ground in those days, Rachael determined to take the necessary qualifications and set up her own pre-school - the rest is history!
Now Sunshine operates three playgroups and pre-schools across the island at Salerie, L'Islet and Cordier Hill where Sunshine Nursery is also based.
Our Mission Statement
"To provide a safe, secure and happy enviroment for your child to develop his or her social and educational skills to their full potential at their own pace."
The first thing you notice when you visit any of the Sunshine Pre-schools & Nursery is the spacious, child friendly, safe and stimulating environment with all the facilities necessary to care for your child on a daily basis.
At Sunshine we have designed and established our own curriculum based on the Early Learning Goals used in infant school classes in Guernsey and England. We have developed an excellent working relationship with all the island's infant schools facilitating an easy transition from pre-school to 'big school' when the time comes.
Each child is recognised as an individual and so respect between staff and children is one of our highest priorities.
