Sunrise Day Nursery

Sunrise Day Nursery Full day childcare settings in Langley and Harrietsham. Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' at Langley Novemb Sunrise is built on the ethos that every child matters . . .

My name is Julie Starns, I am a qualified early years educator; I established Sunrise Day Nursery, Langley in 1993. Sunrise Langley is based in a charming Kentish ragstone building; the building has provided a place for education since 1854. On 1st September 1993, I moved my existing Montessori nursery into the premises and took up residence in The School House as my family home. Within six months, the nursery facilities were extended to offer full day care for children from 6 months to 5 years. Sunrise Day Nursery offers full year childcare catering for children from 6 months to 5 years. and is different. Our aim is to provide an environment where we can unlock the unique potential of each child. Our dedicated team work together; recognising and valuing play as the basis for delivering a journey of learning and, therefore, building a solid foundation for children in their early years. I manage the Langley nursery on a day to day basis and work closely together, with my Harrietsham Manager, to provide a high quality early years environment across the two settings.

Have your say on the relocation of Maidstone Family Hubs services proposals

We are consulting on proposals to relocate the InfoZone Family Hub services currently delivered from 3 Palace Avenue and deliver them through a strengthened Maidstone Family Hub network. This would mean the Palace Avenue building would no longer operate as a Family Hub

Sadly, we often hear stories of children who received horrific burns from hot drinks whilst out and about. If you’re visiting somewhere that serves hot drinks please remember:

☕A hot drink takes 15 minutes to cool down to a temperature that will not scald a young child
☕Be mindful of where you place hot drinks. Children can often reach further than we think.
☕Don’t let children run around anywhere that’s serving hot drinks
☕Avoid passing hot drinks over children or drinking your hot drink when your child is on your lap.

Competitions and Markets Authority 'call for views' survey on Early Years Funding completed. I hope it makes a difference.

01/06/2026

“The charges being described as ‘hidden’ are not hidden at all.”

Parents see them on invoices, contracts and fee schedules every single day.

The real issue is not providers being dishonest.
The real issue is a funding system that many settings say does not cover the actual cost of delivering high-quality childcare.

As Ian Morgan, Chair of Early Years Voice, explains:

“The government promised parents ‘free’ childcare while setting funding rates that many providers say do not cover the actual cost of delivering it.”

Early Years providers are being expected to bridge a growing financial gap while continuing to deliver quality care, support families, and keep settings sustainable.

📢 Early Years Voice will continue pushing for honest conversations, realistic funding, and a system that reflects the true cost of early education.
