PRE-SCHOOLS
Sunflower Baby House & Preschool
Els Vansieleghem and Yves Demasure, Belgian
Eva (9), Anna (7) and Sofia (2)
Sofia was born in Singapore and started at Sunflower
Babyhouse when she was 18 months old. We’d been looking
for a fun place with friendly teachers where she could develop
as an independent and responsive child.
Indeed, she is very happy in this cheerful environment filled
with colourful toys and equipment. She loves her teachers,
her little friends and the huge variety of activities offered.
When I pick her up she’s always so happy, regardless of how
tired she may be.
The teachers are experienced carers, and not only have the
necessary patience and knowledge, but are there to offer the
parents advice, support and understanding. They always take
the time to tell me all about Sofia’s day.
At home, she dances and sings and proudly counts to ten
in Mandarin. I think it’s wonderful for her to be exposed to
the Mandarin language daily. Sunflower represents a good
mixture of local and international cultures, and we love that
Sofia is exposed to all these different influences.
Sunflower Baby House has a great atmosphere of
openness and commitment, and I am very grateful to Angela
and her wonderful team for taking such good care of our
youngest daughter.

Charlie (9), Alfie (7) and Isabella (4)
Our children have both been very happy at Swallows and
Amazons. Isabella started there in May 2012 and will be moving
to Dulwich College this August. Alfie was at SAA from June 2009
until Easter 2011.
Every day holds different activities, and the extra-curricular
activities are excellent, too. Isabella does football, swimming,
music and bubble gym, all held either at SAA or within the Turf
City complex.
Jackie, Debbie and their team are absolutely amazing with
the children, creating a fun, loving, playful learning environment.
When Isabella comes home she is full of news about her day and
her friends, and we often hear her chatting away in Mandarin
as she plays!
We first noticed SAA while walking our dogs in the area, as
we live very close to Turf City. Seeing the spacious outside area
with its huge tree house, we knew it was the kind of nursery we
wanted for Alfie.
We were right: on his first day, he gave me a kiss and a hug and
happily walked off with the teacher, no tears. I felt most relieved,
as at his previous nursery he had cried all the time. Isabella was
exactly the same on her first day, and she didn’t want to leave at
the end of the morning session.
