Day Nurseries Owned by Growing Up Green Ltd in East Sussex

cared for. Management are always super helpful whenever we need anything. Absolutely love this nursery and would recommend it to everyone!!

activities, from yoga, to Music Mike, regular forest school park trips, lots of garden time, educational activities and cultural celebrations from Diwali and Eid to Christmas, Halloween and Pride. Home-cooked, healthy organic food and cloth nappies were a big bonus for us (since we used cloth at home). They were really supportive with potty training, transition between rooms and transition to school (Balfour & Downs especially) too. It's a wonderful, warm community with lots of opportunities to build connections too - including the annual "Olympics" event and regular parents' evenings. The garden is a bit small but well-used and regular forest school trips out make up for it.

always the easiest one to put down for a nap) and they are really knowledgeable in a wide range of children's development.
My son has grown a lovely attachment to the staff at GUG and really enjoys going there.

Also the food he gets at nursery is far superior to what he gets fed at home!

answered by key workers or nursery management. She has strong bonds with all the staff and with the other children there. I am also always impressed with the food they provide and she eats so well when she is there. They also are very happy to follow our lead on things like naps which I hear other nurseries don't do! Overall we're super happy here.

been there, she's built some really solid relationships with the nursery staff. They always do lovely activities with them, such as painting or get the foam play out etc. the communication with the staff is fab and I'm kept up to date with Marnie's day in terms of sleep, what's she's eaten and nappy changes etc as well as frequent pictures of her playing. We are so happy with the nursery and would recommend it to anyone.

about them around our dinner table. When we move through transitions (whether moving up rooms or emotional milestones), we are delighted most days with photos and detailed accounts of what the class got up to, and how our daughter interacts and grows. The amenities are amazing, but it's the people who make it our community.

kids love tearing around in!

feel very grateful to have such a fantastic nursery in our neighbourhood. :)

is a lovely, nurturing, educational environment, and we love it.

precious friendships. Our 7-months old daughter has now started and she has been welcomed with the same warmth and attentiveness. What sets this nursery apart is also the sense of community they built amongst parent. We've also made amazing friends through the nursery! It's a place where children are seen, supported and celebrated.

to the children. The structured play supports his confidence and development & we often find ourselves asking the team for their advice with particular milestones like potty training which they take a very active supportive role. You will also find that they are very good at helping the little ones learn to understand and regulate their emotions, this is further supported by weekly yoga classes which the kids absolutely love. The food is also a big plus at GUG. They do hot lunches and teas which makes our lives so much easier, and it is all freshly made on site. Our second son will be following in his brother's footsteps and enrolling at GUG soon!

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.

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.

daughter is so happy and thriving and this is all thanks for the amazing aunties!

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!!

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.

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.
