Growing Up Green Nursery

from F G (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2025
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our children have been at this nursery for a while and have spent time in three of the four rooms, and we can honestly say the staff have been fantastic in all of them. Every room has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the team put so much effort into creative and engaging activities that our kids absolutely
love.
The garden is brilliant, and the children get to spend lots of time exploring and playing outside.
Emma, the manager, is always available when needed, and she's a great listener. She's positive, welcoming, and really helps create the lovely atmosphere the nursery is known for.
Another bonus is that food is provided for every meal of the day, which makes life much easier and our children enjoy it.
Overall, we are genuinely very pleased with everything. Our children are happy, supported, and thriving here, and we are very grateful for the wonderful care they receive. We highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and creative place for their child.

Growing Up Green is such a wholesome and nurturing nursery - we couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives. The staff are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about helping each child grow with confidence and curiosity. The eco-friendly ethos and beautiful environment make
it a calm, inspiring place to learn and play. Our son comes home full of stories, positive conversations, and smiles, which says it all! Communication is excellent, and the whole team make you feel welcomed. We're so grateful to have found Growing Up Green - it's a truly special place that gives children the best possible start in a rustic and organic way.

Absolutely wonderful nursery!
Both of my children have been part of the Growing Up Green family - my eldest started at 8 months and stayed right through until school, and my youngest is currently attending and just as happy.
What stands out most for me is how professional, caring, and genuinely lovely
the staff are. It's clear they put so much thought and effort into every part of the day, and I've always felt confident that my children are in safe and nurturing hands.
I can't recommend Growing Up Green highly!!

My son joined GUG 2 Toddlers when he was just 2 years old and did not speak any English at the time. The GUG team put in so much effort to help him settle in, and with their patience and dedication, he gradually grew into a confident and happy little bilingual boy, ready for reception. His time at GUG
truly laid the foundation for him to come out of his shell, and today he is thriving and absolutely delighted at his new school. We are deeply grateful to the entire GUG team for their support and care.

Our daughter has been at Growing up Green, Beaconsfield Rd, Brighton for more than 4 years and has made great friendships with all her group. The care and support she has received from all of the staff has been outstanding. The nursery provided loads of activities to encourage her development and threw
in the right amount of hugs where needed. They listened and took positive action whenever I raised concerns and provided us with tips and insight into her life inside the nursery. They organised external fun activities both widening the children's knowledge and assisting parents to make connections. Whenever a health issue arose they followed it up with health information advice on how to manage it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so grateful we chose Growing Up Green (Beaconsfield Villas) for our daughter. She spent four wonderful years there, and I couldn't have asked for a warmer, more nurturing start to her life.
The small class sizes have been invaluable, she grew up with the same group of children, and we have formed
strong bonds with other families as well. I know all her classmates and the key staff who cared for her by name, which gave us real peace of mind. This close-knit environment is a welcome contrast to larger nurseries, where children and staff often don't know each other's names.
The nursery offers a wide variety of rotating, age-appropriate activities and has an on-site chef preparing healthy hot lunches, helping the children develop a love for different foods.
Our daughter is now a confident, happy little girl, well-prepared for school. I wholeheartedly give this nursery 10/10 and recommend it to all my friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so thankful to Growing Up Green for taking care of my daughter from the age of 9 months up until her reception year at school. I was quite emotional on her last day, as it felt like she was leaving her extended family.
The aunties have been absolutely fantastic and have done a brilliant
job preparing her for the transition to school. I always felt confident dropping her off, knowing she would have a fun and fulfilling day.
The aunties are nurturing, attentive to each child's individual needs and always happy to talk to you about your child's progress. Each day was filled with engaging and fun activities to the point that it was often a struggle to get her to leave the nursery at the end of the day.
I sincerely thank them for taking such wonderful care of my child and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Growing up Green was our son's second nursery setting and we couldn’t have felt more pleased, reassured and positive about his move two years ago. He’s grown up with the nursery, his wonderful key workers and the staff team as a whole. He is always so happy going in and just as happy coming out. We
know he has heaps of fun as well as developmental and educational input from his very experienced key workers every day that he attends. Communication is great between us and the nursery which definitely helps. They are compassionate, helpful, skilled and very knowledgable. Let alone dedicated and hard-working throughout the pandemic! We are so grateful to all the staff team, especially his amazing key workers!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Growing Up Green is a lovely nursery where my twin boys attend. One of my children has health needs and needs medical equipment, so I was very nervous about him attending nursery. I was worried that he would not be able to participate in activities in the same way as other children. Growing Up Green
were extremely reassuring and took time to understand his needs. He is treated the same as anybody else and has thrived at nursery. He shows me, with pride, the dance moves he has learnt to nursery rhymes, or just how good his stacking skills have gotten.
The staff at Growing Up Green have really gotten to know my boys – who, despite being identical, are very different. I have never felt that they have been treated as the same person, or had it assumed they would like the same things.
They are extremely comfortable at nursery and are always excited to arrive at the front doors. The staff are warm and kind and I feel reassured knowing my sons are in safe hands.

Growing Up Green is a fantastic nursery. They provide a range of age-appropriate activities for the children which are enjoyable and educational, they also provide regular updates on the website. At pick-up, my son is always in a great mood and tells me how much fun he's had. The staff at the nursery,
in all the rooms, all seem to genuinely like the children and enjoy being with them. I would highly recommend Growing Up Green.

Growing Up Green is an excellent nursery and our twin boys have absolutely loved going since they started a year ago! They have a lovely relationship with their key workers (aunties) who really care about their happiness and development, understand their personality and needs and make them feel welcome
and accepted. Our little ones love the activities, the time in the garden, book reading, celebrations and they have developed leaps and bounds since going to Growing Up Green. The team has supported very closely in reviewing their development and we feel there couldn't be a better place for them to be, we totally recommend this nursery.

Growing Up Green is brilliant. Our twins have absolutely loved it there for the last year. They settled in really easily as the staff are so warm and friendly. It’s is a really good size so the children don’t feel overwhelmed at all. I’ve not really been in (due to covid) but the pictures/and reports

We are so pleased with the care, activities and environment at Growing Up Green Nursery, as is our son who is always happy and excited for his nursery days! It was and is really important to us to have a “home from home” environment for his childcare and we are so pleased to of found it here. The fact
we walk past four other nurseries to get there also says a lot! The brilliant big outdoor space made us decide to choose this nursery initially, along with the smaller sized baby room in comparison to other nurseries for when he first joined, so it felt the best of both worlds. The aunties are wonderful, caring and he always has a lovely day full a variety.
