Child space in Brighton

“I cannot recommend Hopscotch nursery highly enough. Our daughter started attending when she was 20 months old. The team were incredibly supportive to both our daughter and us during the settling in process. Since starting, our daughter’s confidence as well as language development has been incredible. She absolutely loves going in and has built strong relationships with her key workers and other children. The team are very good at keeping us updated on activities and development. I particularly appreciate that I was encouraged to always call if I want to check in. It’s very reassuring knowing your child is in such safe and caring hands.”

“We had a wonderful experience with this nursery. My little son started in the Robins room, when he was two, and then moved to the Swallow when he turned three. In both cases, he had really enjoyed his time there. The nursery offers a very friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a rich variety of stimulating activities for the children. The staff are highly qualified and genuinely care about the children. In fact, I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery staff that my son had while he was with the Swallow. They have been amazing under so many aspects, and I could see that he developed a real bond with them: they really were like a second family to him. My little boy really flourished during his time there, and I was particularly impressed by the way how the practitioners got to know each child very well, and were genuinely caring and enjoying about their progresses”

“Such a wonderful nursery, my daughter settled in so well in the beginning and runs in every morning without a backward glance. The staff are so friendly and caring. The activities are varied and interesting, lots of fun for the children with really inventive ways for the children to learn key skills. The trips the children go on are an added bonus. The spaces for each age group are well-designed and furnished for each developmental stage. The nursery is just such a wonderful, nurturing setting.”

“My son has been attending the nursery for around 6 months now - in this short time we can already see the positive impact the nursery is having on his confidence, motor skills and early education. The nursery itself is in a great setting within the park and a 5 minute walk from the beach/library, all which the children visit regularly. Pictures are sent throughout the day via WhatsApp which is a lovely personal and reassuring touch! The staff are all so friendly and attentive on pick ups & drop offs nothing is too much trouble for them. Overall, a big thanks Brodie, charley & team for giving my little one the best start into his education :)”

“I could not have asked for more caring staff for my son. When he started the nursery, he was behind developmentally as he was born 9 weeks early. Staff have supported his development throughout, going above and beyond to ensure he is happy and secure. The communication with parents is exceptional- we can make contact whenever necessary and are guaranteed a prompt and in depth response from staff. I was well supported when my son was undergoing developmental tests at the hospital- Vanessa gave me huge amounts of her time, which I did not expect. The SENDCO support is outstanding- my son's additional needs were promptly identified and we were given exceptional support, including extra meetings, involvement from third parties, and numerous phone calls. I couldn't ask for a better setting. My younger son has joined now too, and loves it! The staff are phenomenal- my son's adore them. Staff stay for years and there has been no staff turnover since my boys started. They still have the same key staff for the entire 2 years of preschool, which is wonderful.”

“What a lovely friendly gem this is. We booked this as a one night B&B during our South Downs walking holiday. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely ( I judge by the quality of the sausages, they were great). I would certainly highly recommend staying here, we were sadly unable to experience their cream teas mainly due to our own timing of arrival and departure. It's a lovely friendly village and we'll be coming back at some point.”

“Hopscotch has been an absolute delight for our family. Our daughter has been attending for about 6 months now, and we couldn't be happier with her experience. The staff at the nursery are incredibly caring and attentive, ensuring that our daughter feels safe and loved throughout her time there. We can see how genuinely invested they are in her well-being. Not only is our daughter happy at the nursery, but she is also thriving. The nursery provides a nurturing environment where she has the opportunity to learn, play, and grow. The activities and curriculum are thoughtfully designed to stimulate her curiosity and encourage her development. We are delighted to see her blossom into a confident and independent individual. Additionally, we are grateful for how well the nursery prepared our son for his transition to reception. The nursery's focus on early education and school readiness truly made a difference. Our son entered reception with a solid foundation, both academically and socially. The nursery's dedication to preparing children for their next educational steps is commendable. Overall, we highly recommend the hopscotch to any parent seeking a warm and enriching environment for their child. It's a place where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact it has had on our children's lives.”

“Simply an outstanding nursery. Smaller class size and attentitive, well experienced staff who clearly enjoy working together and with the children. My little boy has grown in confidence since his time with Apple Tree and has made some lovely friends. Such a unique setting with plenty of outdoor activities, regardless of the weather. The staff are very supportive, and because of the high ratio of teachers to children they have the time to provide quality care. Highly recommended.”

“My son has been at AppleTree Nursery for two years since he was 1 year old and he loves it there. It is a small environment where each child can be monitored and it known individually. although large enough to enable friendships and social interactions. The large garden allows for lots of exploration and fun in all seasons and the rabbits and chickens keep the children entertained. The staff are all lovely and caring and warm.”

“My daughter has been with Hove Station since she was 4 months and will sadly be leaving shortly after her 3rd birthday due to us relocating. Every single person we have had contact with over the years has been nothing but kind and professional. The Nursery is clean, spacious and very well equipped. If we have ever had any queries the Management Team have responded very quickly. It is no surprise that their Ofsted report was Outstanding and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for everything Hopscotch Hove Station!”

“I can't recommend Wrap nursery enough. Our little one started at 9 months and are just about to "graduate" - we will all miss Wrap a lot. It was a challenge to find a nursery that I felt comfortable with, but the staff and management at Wrap has made the last 4 years childcare easy and worry-free. It is not the closest nursery to our house, but even when me moved out of the city we decided to stay with Wrap as our child has been very happy there and always excited to go in the mornings. We even returned full time after trying a (big chain) nursery closer to home of a few months and also after were out of the country for for two months. Wrap has always been supportive and flexible - they have been able to accommodate us for extra days (even last minute). The staff has been wonderful and know our child well. The have supported us through the tricky toilet training days (thank you Hannah!) and Mia's presence through the years from the baby to the pre-school room has been very comforting for all of us. Wrap, for us, has been brilliant, a really caring nursery, with diversity, creativity and respect for all. We wish we could stay...”

“Nothing but positivity to say about Little Birches. Starting with the Manager Nikki who truly cares about the nursery, the children, her staff and the families. The staff are experienced and have been very nurturing/caring towards both of my children who felt and feel safe and happy in their setting. I have used other nurseries and feel Little Birches offers a level of comfort above other experiences I have had. My son was very school ready after 2 years at the nursery with plenty of skills learnt from nursery and went up with a good group of friends.”

“I am delighted to share our experience at Appletree Montessori, where both my daughters have attended for several years. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were welcomed into a nurturing and stimulating environment that prioritises the holistic development of each child. The Montessori approach has truly transformed my daughters, fostering not only their academic skills but also their confidence and independence. The carefully curated learning materials encourage exploration and creativity, allowing each child to learn at their own pace. I've watched my daughters grow into curious, self-assured individuals who are excited to tackle new challenges. I want to give special mention to Dani, Agnes, and Ana, who have been instrumental in making our experience at Appletree Montessori exceptional. Their passion, dedication, and attentiveness to the needs of each child have created a warm and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and heard. The emphasis they place on social skills and emotional intelligence has helped my daughters develop strong friendships and effective communication skills. I am particularly impressed by the focus on practical life skills, which has instilled a sense of responsibility and accomplishment in my daughters. They come home eager to share their experiences and newfound abilities, which highlights the profound impact of their time at the nursery. In summary, I cannot recommend Appletree Montessori highly enough. It has provided a wonderful foundation for my daughters' growth, instilling a love for learning and a strong sense of self. I am truly grateful for the positive influence this nursery has had on their early years, and I am confident that the skills and values they have acquired will serve them well in the future.”

“Perfect start nursery Horsham and their lovely staff have gone above and beyond taking care of our little one. Our boy has gone to the nursery since he was one and now he is 3 in preschool. Our boy has special needs that would have gone completely under the radar if the nursery hadn't noticed them! They supported us through this journey and have made every referral possible to get him scene and sorted. He feels very loved and secure in his classes and he adores his careres. We absolutely love and recommend perfect start nursery at Horsham!!”

“Both of my sons attended Robins after a recommendation from a good friend and my younger son is about to finish nursery and start school this September. My children both loved their time at Robins. It's a lovely cosy, intimate nursery, full of fun and laughter, home away from home. Each member of staff really get to know each child properly and form strong and secure relationships with them. They have created a such a lovely nurturing and supportive environment, where the children can grow as individuals. In the children's final year at nursery Robins, the staff are great at preparing the children for school. Not just things like being able to write their names but the really important things like the coping skill to deal with a new environment and the ability to deal with different expectations that school has of children. Robins don't just care for the children but the whole family. We've loved Robins and will greatly miss it!”

“Could not recommend this nursery more. My daughter can be quite needy and clingy and I was so worried about her never settling at nursery, but the incredible staff at the Whiteway centre have been so patient and caring with her that she settled so much quicker than I could have ever hoped for. The team there are amazing and the communication is excellent. I am so pleased with the progress she has made since starting there a few months ago and I know she will continue to thrive there. Thank you so much.”

“My son goes to this Nursery. It's by far the best setting and quality of education in the area. I can't recommend this Nursery enough. Thanks to all the great staff that work there. Adam Kotze”

“This is the best nursery in Tunbridge wells!! The kids just love it. All the staff go above and beyond to make sure the children go home every night with a smile on their faces. The outside space is perfect and the rooms are a perfect mix of being big enough to keep the children entertained and small enough to not be absolute mayhem! x”

“The nursery has been a godsend for us. My son looks forward to going there and the management team particularly Tracey(SENCO) and Mirella are nothing but supportive and comitted to inclusivity. The nursery is down to earth and staff are dedicated. They have a large garden and sensory room. The staffing seems consistent. I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend, especially if your child has SEND.”

“Really amazing nursery, I couldn't sing Motherhen enough praise. If you are looking for a home away from home for your precious little ones, this is the best place. Our daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly 2 years and she is happy, we are happy. The staff feel like family, very welcoming, kind and professional. There is no request that is too much for them. What mainly sets apart Motherhen from other nurseries is the low staff turn over, my older child attended big nurseries and the staff members were changing so frequently that it was difficult to build any relationships with them. At least half of the staff that were working for Motherhen when we joined almost 2 years are still there. It gives emotional stability to the kids (and the parents) and that is rare to see in other nurseries. Thank you Sammy and the team xxx”

“Mamas & Papas Crawley has been an absolute joy to visit throughout my pregnancy. Kylie is always so lovely, welcoming, and incredibly helpful—she truly goes above and beyond. We always looked forward to popping into the store, not just for the lovely products but also for the friendly chats with Kylie and the rest of the amazing team. The staff are approachable and genuinely care about helping you find what’s right for you and your baby. Thank you all for making our experience so positive, we absolutely love the products we brought from Mamas and Papas.”

“Each Peach is such a wonderful nursery. Great facilities and amazing staff! My daughter has been attending since we moved into the area 2 months ago and absolutely loves it there, not a single tear at any drop offs, she is eager to get in every morning and start her day! Every member of staff is enthusiastic, kind and caring! I would highly recommend to everyone!”

“My 16 month old son attends Bluebell Barn. We have been absolutely delighted with the nursery. The staff go above and beyond, they are so nurturing and really want to see the children blossom. Our son's gone from a very timid baby to a confident young toddler and I have no doubt that it is from starting nursery and the support he's had. I echo all the 5 star reviews below!”
