SDA’s ‘Limitless’ DANCE SHOW SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT�
Today, we proudly shine the spotlight on one of our amazing sponsors: Sunflower Children’s Centre

Sunflower Children’s Centre opened in 2002 and remains one of the largest independent nurseries in Sheffield. We are open for newborns to 8 yr olds and strive to exceed expectations and lead the way in everything we do; from the way we develop and support each child to the way we manage and engage our team.

Built adjacent and learning to the local primary school in Charnock, our Centre is a stimulating and bright earning environment that supports children, some with discreet learning needs, and their families from the local and surrounding areas.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors for supporting this year’s dance show and helping bring our souvenir programs to life!
