About Us

Selecting a Day Nursery for your child is a very important decision

At My Sunshine Day Nursery we aim to make that decision as easy as is possible for each of our parents by providing a stimulating and caring environment that caters for every child’s needs allowing each child to reach their full potential whilst in our care.  A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right as it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

 

 About Us & My Sunshine Day Nursery

We are a small family run Day Nursery business owned by Mike and Penny Ballardie and managed by Harriet Ballardie.

In January 2018 My Sunshine Day Nursery opened its first Nursery setting in Mortlake. Our Nursery is run by a dedicated Management and Staff Team – all very highly qualified in early years childcare. Our mantra in setting up this Nursery is that both the best education and care for your child, as well as ultimate success for our business, comes from the quality and the consistency of the Staff team that we employ. Therefore we are committed to finding the best possible Staff members so as to provide you, as parents, ‘peace of mind’ in the knowledge that your child is being cared for in a safe, healthy, fun and loving environment. Every child’s welfare and care is at the heart of everything we do at My Sunshine Day Nursery & Pre-School
