Morning Zoo,
My first guess would be slugs but I've also had problems with mice in my poly-tunnel, although they can't reach your sunflower leaves... Check for nibble marks
Also check for little black eggs under and at the base of the leaves, could be caterpillars.
Slug pellets? You can buy them in every gardening shop in the country. If you've got kids and dogs around, try and get the non-toxic ones though as they look like little blue sprinkles
. They're pricey enough but they do the job.
