Review of Purbrook Day Nursery & Pre-school from Lucy G (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended since she was 1 years old, she is now 4 and will be going to school this year. I cannot recommend The Purbrook Day Nursery enough. I have never once felt uneasy since my daughter started there. They have even supported us tremendously through difficult circumstances we have faced at home also. Every single staff member is so wonderful and kind and I will be very sad to say goodbye to them when my daughter goes to school.

It has been a privilege to care for your daughter over the past few years and to watch her grow into the wonderful, confident child she is today.

Review of Purbrook Day Nursery & Pre-school from Kirsty B (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended since she was 10 months old and is now about to leave to start school. Our experience at Purbrook has been amazing since day 1. All the staff are genuinely so lovely and clearly love what they do. I've never had any concerns about the care given to my daughter. She has loved nursery and will miss it there a lot (so will I). She has grown and developed so well here and loves the variety of activities they get to do including all the time they spend in the outdoor areas. Support with school readiness has been great and they have a dedicated class room area for pre-schoolers. Overall, I would definitely recommend Purbrook nursery to anyone!

Review of Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-school from Gillian P (Grandmother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience of dropping off and collecting my Granddaughter from this playschool has always been. The staff always welcomes in my Granddaughter with her name and a smile. My Granddaughter has been attending this playschool since September 25. And she has continued to thrive. She always go in happily and come out the same. Which ever staff member brings her out to me, always tells me how she has been what she has done. Also let's me know what she has eaten. I would totally recommend this playschool. They really work with the children to bring them on in every level. If ever you need to speak to them about anything. They always deal with it in a professional manner. This shows that they have excellent staff right from the Management to the newest staff member. I feel that my Granddaughter is in safe hands when I drop her off at the playschool. You couldn't wish for a better start for your child/grandchild.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are amazing, friendly, and always happy to chat. They are very understanding and take the time to listen to parents' wishes, making every child feel valued and supported.

I love the child-led approach and how much time the children spend outdoors exploring and learning. My toddler has been attending since January and absolutely loves it. He is always happy to go in and comes home excited to tell us about his day.

Review of Lower Beeding Day Nursery & Pre-school from R G (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Such a lovely nursery. We moved our son here from another setting that wasn't suited to our active toddler, and it's been the best decision we could have made. The team are in tune with his need for outdoor play, recognise when he's overstimulated and needs quiet time, and we've seen his development come on leaps and bounds. Most importantly, he has formed strong bonds with key staff.
Our son has a dairy allergy that has been well catered for by the chef who has been just as engaged with us to ensure he eats well.
Emma offers a calm, reassuring presence and has taken a genuine interest in getting to know our child, understanding his character at home and adapting the environment to help him thrive. Communication with parents is open and thoughtful, creating a supportive atmosphere where children are truly cared for.

It's easy to overlook just how good this nursery is, but their professional curiosity and commitment to going beyond simply meeting needs really sets them apart!

Review of Lower Beeding Day Nursery & Pre-school from Steph F (Mother of Child) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is absolutely loving the baby snug.

We looked at several nurseries in the area of West Sussex and this one was the only one that felt quite warm and homely as well as being able to get out into the garden areas. The staff are amazing and you can tell how passionate they are about the young ones. Our little one started at 9 months as I went back to work , and he took a small amount of time to settle , but I was reassured at every moment , kept in the loop with everything. I feel very comfortable with all the nursery staff including the nursery chef who is incredibly friendly. Really couldn't fault this nursery team.

Review of Southwater Day Nursery and Pre-school from Lucy V (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website

My daughter has been going to Southwater Nursery (toddler room) since September 2025 and she absolutely loves it. It took a little time for her to settle in but the staff have been so patient and caring and I am so pleased she enjoys it so much.

Review of Shoreham Day Nursery & Pre-school from Megan M (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website

I sent my son to Shoreham Day Nursery since he was 9 months old and he's now just over 2. When sending him at first, we were very supported and had some useful settle in sessions. The staff got to know my son really well and he was so happy there.

Now in the toddler room and he is still thriving. Naturally with a group of toddlers there are sometimes learning experiences and behaviours that arise. The staff have worked collaboratively with us to ensure my son is happy and comfortable.

Review of Southwater Day Nursery and Pre-school from Natasha S (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Southwater Preschool for just over two years and I can confidently say there has been a huge improvement in his development. A large part of this is due to his outstanding key worker who took the time and patience to understand our son and his needs. The management and whole team are very proactive in relation to SEND awareness and have been absolutely fantastic and supportive in the whole process of our son being diagnosed with autism. Our son loves going to preschool and the brilliant and attentive staff have made it a safe place for him. Our son is able to thrive in the environment set for him we have absolute trust in every single member of staff that works with him.

From the moment we got introduced to the baby room team we knew that our daughter would be in nurturing hands. Lower Beeding Nursery had been wonderful. At the end of each day we get a thorough feedback on how her day was, whether she ate, napped etc. My daughter is now in the toddler room and the care continues. They have supported us with our daughter's potty training which has been a huge success. We couldn't recommend the nursery enough, lovely team and great facilities for the children.

We're so happy with our little boy's nursery! The staff are really friendly and caring, and it's such a warm, welcoming place.

Our son absolutely loves going in every day, which says it all. It's been lovely to see how much he's grown in confidence and how much he enjoys all the fun activities they do.

We also had our daughter there at the same time, before she started reception, and it was so nice having them both together. She had a great experience too, which made choosing this nursery again an easy decision for us.

It gives us real peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. We'd definitely recommend it to any parents looking for a great nursery
