Its a great pleasure to write about the creche facility at Novartis.

After my maternity break I am hesitant to place my 4 month old year Kid in the creche but I have no other way.The first day I went into tears not willing to leave her alone there. To be frank neither my parents or my In-laws were not at all happy to leave the kid in a day care.Initial days I used to go a minimum of 4 times a day to see how my kid is doing.

But now I hardly go only once. This all credit goes to Sultana who takes care of each and every child with no discretion. The hygenicity,the feeding timing every thing they maintain so well that is not possible at home. Now my kid Cherry is 7 month old and she is doing well and I am enjoying my work.

My Special thanks to Sultana.

My advice to all Novartis parents who are hesitant to join their kid in the creche, please go-ahead and see the best results. Best regards,

Uma Devi Makireddy,Oncology DM,Novartis Healthcare Pvt.Ltd.,


I was so happy to see the staff politeness. They received us in a very friendly manner and they gave strong assurance especially to me as I broke down while leaving my child over there.They all gave me assurance regarding my child that "We are Here" to look after your child. Mainly, I liked the cleanliness and politeness of all the members of the sunshine. Even before I went to some day care centers. I didnt see this type attitude.

Hi, This is Aarti. My daughter Isha joined Sunshine when she was 6 months old. It was very difficult to let go a 6 months old kid to strangers. But thanks to sunshine staff, me and my daughter no longer feel that sunshine staff are strangers. They take care very good care of my child. This is the only reason why we are not able to move to different area. I am never worried when Isha is in Sunshine. Its really like a "home away from home.".. thanks a million..!!! keep up the good work! lots of love

Hello, my daughter's (age:14 months) going to sunshine, Habsiguda since she is 7 months old. I simply could not able to think anything apart from Sunshine for my daughter as I felt its the best daycare in twin cities. However now Habsiguda will become very far as we've shifted to Malkajgiri. Please consider a branch in Malkajgiri or somewhere nearby to it so that there is no possibility of moving my daughter away from Sunshine. This is a mother's ardent request.

We are parents of Aditya (pinku) ,our 2 yr child at sunshine, Ashok nagar branch.

We were initially quite apprehensive about the summer camp, after all what will our naughty hyperactive 2 yr child do.

Our worries were unfounded, the various activities done during the 2 month period was awesome, till i saw my son doing the crafts himself, i did not believe a 2 yr child could have such good skills.
I congratulate the staff for organizing such a good summer camp.
