Children's entertainment in Brighton

“So much happens here! There's a diverse range of community projects, groups, great value classes, courses, workshops and talks...the venue is well-managed and supported by brilliant volunteers. The garden is a delight and the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming.”

“Helpful staff, nice and clean facilities. Shame I don't love local to visit again. Tip take your own small padlock for the lockers, something I didn't know beforehand.”

“Thank you Nicky for your help last Thursday 11th.”

“We had 5 idyllic days and by the end everyone decided they couldn't leave until they had booked again for next year! The house and grounds, held us in a sanctuary that we didn't want to leave. The team were so responsive, and everything seemed so easy to organise! The food, fire pit, dancing on the hill overlooking the sea, sauna on the beach took it to a whole different level. There is no other place for us now! Thank you.”

“My children absolutely love coming here and have done since they were babies. It’s a lovely warm and welcoming space and makes you feel so comfortable especially when you have two young children and you can keep an eye on them at all times. Laura is the loveliest person you will ever meet and puts such amazing effort into all the themes she does each season and is constantly changing things up so the children always have something new to explore. Shout out to Laura’s mum too who happily was on newborn baby watch for me when my 2nd was tiny and sleeping in his pram so I could concentrate on my crazy toddler! You don’t know how much this meant to me in the early post partum days! We have also attended LPV parties too and love them! Thanks for creating such a great place for little ones and we can’t wait to see what this year brings for you guys! X”

“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.”

“I took the Absolute Beginners class last weekend and absolutely loved it! Julie explained how to use a sewing machine in great detail and within an hour I felt confident in using it for basic stitches. We even got to make our own little pin cushions which is such a nice take-away from a single 2.5 hours class. I will definitely be back for more!”

“My daughter has been attending the Young Actors Group for the last 4 years or so. In this time Aaron and his team have been amazing, and she has enjoyed every minute. The group activities, and projects (performance, creative and video) have increased her confidence and really allowed her imagination to shine. Highly recommended!”

“We had the pleasure of having Martin perform at our wedding reception and during dinner. He did a fantastic job entertaining the crowd, working seamlessly throughout the afternoon amidst the different tables and groups of people. No idea how he did any of the tricks, he was super professional and clearly a very talented entertainer! Would highly recommend him for any event!”

“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.”

“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...”

“What a great nursery!! I am really happy I chose Wagtails for my son, as he has separation anxiety and he doesn't stay without me. We started on 12th of September and I can say I am impressed with the professionalism and dedication the teachers have been showed, and I can already see progression with my son. Best decision ever. Thank you Wagtails.”

“My daughter has been going to discovery day since August-September of 2021. She loves it there , all the staff have been amazing with her and now they are getting her ready to start school this September. They have such wonderful team working with the children everyday. I would highly recommend to discovery to anyone looking for a nursery.”

“Annelies and her husband who set up the very smart Marina Studios, are the most friendly, bubbly and proactive people! I absolutely love going to my weekly dance class called Latin Fit and they have just installed a superb new sound system which made me dance with even more enthusiasm than normal! It is the highlight of my week, going to the dance studio and very reasonable membership fees too!”

“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!”

“Our son had his party here in December as he and his friends have suddenly become avid gamers. X1 Gaming fit the bill for what they were after, linked machines meant the boys could play any game together. Andrew was on hand to assist with anything they needed. Kids loved it, one said "best party. Ever", can't say better than that.”

“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.”

“Amazing nursery. My daughter has been going since she was 6 months old. Never had a day she hasn't wanted to be there and has always come home smiling. The girls always give feedback and i get the best pictures from her day. Would recommend to anyone”

“What can I say. What an amazing nursery. Our little boy went here and has now started school. His little sister now goes to Busy Bees and has really come on massively. She was very timid before and has really come out of her shell. And her speech is incredible. The building is beautiful and so clean. The staff are all amazing and go above and beyond to make sure your children are looked after and are happy. And don’t make you feel a pain when you ring to make sure little one is ok. Would highly recommend here. Thankyou. X”
