History

Sunshine Day Nursery was first established in 1973. It was originally a 60 place setting based in a small building just inside the Herries Road entrance and was simply named the Northern General Nursery. We had very limited resources, often relying on other departments sending us their surplus stationary and computer paper they no longer used.

Over the years we have developed and grown, moving to the current premises at the Northern General Hospital and opening a new setting at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in 2004. We also had a competition to find a new name and we became The Sunshine Day Nursery. Both settings can now take up to 144 children per day and the Northern General Hospital setting has a School Holiday Club.
