Day Nurseries Owned by Hove and Portslade Day Nurseries and Pre-Schools

Our daughter started here a few months ago when she was just over 1 year old and we have been really impressed. The staff are really welcoming, nurturing & brilliant at their jobs. She settled incredibly quickly & has been very happy to go to nursery ever since. It feels like a big family! We are particularly grateful with how sensitive & caring the staff have been regarding a previous bereavement in our family & how this impacted our nursery journey. Feeling so supported really has made all the difference to us at a difficult time so thank you very much Portslade Day nursery - you all do such a fantastic job!

Our twin girls started at the nursery recently. The staff have been amazing. Everyone has been so helpful and the girls have settled in really well.

It's the small things that have added up to an excellent experience so far. Daily updates at pick up, adapting meals for lactose intolerance and going the extra mile to help make us and the girls feel welcome.

The girls are clearly well cared for and enjoy being there. Leila, Charlotte and the team have been a breath of fresh air.

Everyone is kind and helpful and they always make me feel like my grandchildren are really important to them. Very supportive and informative and my grandchildren are always so happy when I pick them up. Thank you.

The staff and facilities at our child's nursery are fantastic. They've learnt a lot from their time attending Portslade Day Nursery and can't fault the level or attention of care. Would definitely recommend to other parents

Our son is super happy at Portslade Day Nursery he asks every morning, when he wakes up, if today is 'nursery' and is easy to get dressed and have his breakfast with his friends. He has been there 1 year and he is currently two years old. After nursery he tells me about the things he has been doing, who was there and most importantly the different types of food he has ate! He absolutely loves all the staff there, especially his key worker Courtney and previously Ellie. Leilah has always been super welcoming and helpful from day one and we are very grateful for the support network we now have thanks to the Nursery, thank you.

I moved my son to this nursery nearly a year ago after two years at a nursery where he was really settled. I was anxious about moving him and how he would handle it but I have to say that the staff at PDN have all been incredible and hugely supportive. My son is really thriving and I feel the nursery will make his transition to school an easy one as he's been given the tools and confidence to take on the new challenge. It's a nurturing environment where he's made lovely friends. They do dancing and yoga and football and I feel he's had a great all round experience. I recommend the nursery to anyone.

We recently moved to the area from London and I'm impressed on how well my child has settled in, thanks to the lovely staff. They are all very kind and caring and have taken time to get to know my child's likes and dislikes. We receive daily updates on the app with occasional photos, the food choices seem to be varied and healthy. The kids get to go outdoor most days too which I feel is important.

Both our children attend the nursery and we've been very happy with the care, especially under the new management. They have a great outdoors space and lots of activities - singing, football, arts etc. Staff are always welcoming and attentive to our children's needs. They really went the extra mile to help our baby settle in, and provided very frequent updates during those difficult first days. For my eldest, they arranged a SEN referral, which we're really greatful for, especially when the health visitor wasn't helpful in this regard.

My child attends the nursery since September 2023. Recently, our experience is amazing. We received very good daily feedback on his activities, improvement and what we need to work on. My child loves to go to nursery, has an adorable relationship with his friends and the staff. I see a lot of new positive changes in the nursery, which make me feel that my child is in safe and caring hands daily. To say a big thank you to the new manager and all the staff.

It's really easy to communicate with the staff as well and they try to accommodate us whenever we need ad hoc sessions. I highly recommend this nursery for your little ones.

Our experience using the child care services of Cromwell Road Day Nursery has been amazing! Kind staff and a management ready to listen. During moments of concern, we have been listened to. As parents we had concerns about frequent changes in personnel, so far, there is stability which helps.

Our son joined Portslade Day Nursery this year after we moved cities. He settled in so quickly and that is all down to the amazing staff. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the nursery. The staff are so warm and engaging and give great updates on how our child's day has been. We are so sad that he wasn't there longer and that it is time for him to move on to school so has to leave.

I have seen many positive changes since the nursery became Cromwell Day Nursery. The freedom of the outside space used a lot more is so very welcomed. The information shared on the parent platford is a lot more detailed and means whoever picks up doesn't need to remember it all. Staff positivity radiants a lot more too. My child is greeted personally by everyone.

My little girl loves going to this nursery every single day, she always excited to get up in the morning and see her carers and friends there. They really know what every children likes, what makes them going and they have something different to play every day. They really look after her and she receives the care she needs.

The staff are warm and kind - they made our daughter feel very comfortable and cared for. She's learned lots of new things to help her prepare for kindergarten. We're really happy with our choice!

It is very nice to see my child's key worker from the baby room who is attentive, caring and approachable to talk. In time, we hope to see the same from more members of staff whilst greeting or informing parents at the door.

All staff are very lovely and helpful! My children are always happy and excited to go and love telling me what they did during their time at nursery! They always enjoy their food and come home happy! I would definitely recommend to other parents and carers.

My son was so happy in the nursery, he was there since he was one and half years then we continued until he is going to school, there are amazing staff they are caring about him like their own child always, they are amazing with activities, also they are clean, food was so good because my son doesn't like everything but they change him he tries many food with them, just have one comment for them that they need to put more pictures on the apps to make parents happier. But I recommend it for everyone.

Lovely nursery and amazing staff. Always very friendly, one of my children has grown very attached to his key worker and she always makes time for him and reassures him whenever he goes. My other child always runs up to his key worker and gives her cuddles. I've been sending my children to this nursery since 2018. Would recommend this nursery.

My son has attended Portslade Day Nursery for a year, they have been very understanding and patient with my son and his additional needs. They have great resources and an excellent management team. The food they supply is very nutritional and covers a whole range of dietary needs. The nursery itself is clean, tidy and organised and they have a lovely little area for your child's coats and bags. I highly recommend this nursery for parents, they have an amazing play area outside and lots of different toys inside including a home corner and sand table which my son loves. The staff here are absolutely amazing, they have a good staff-to-children ratio and everyone gets included in the activities and taught to socialise and make friends. Another thing I liked about this nursery is not only do they support the children they support the parents too which is not a quality you get at a lot of nurseries.
