Pennies Day Nursery - Mark Cross

My 20-month-old daughter attends full time and my son aged 6 attends the holiday club. I couldn't recommend the team more. The setting is great, the staff are amazing, we fully trust them when dropping off in the morning. They are great at communicating any issues that arise and are fantastic at ensuring she is engaged and learning. Thanks to all the team, you are brilliant.

Pennies at Mark Cross is fantastic. My son has been attending since February and after a wobbly first few settling in sessions, he is now very happy going in and spending his time there. This is down to the very calm, happy and caring nature of all the girls that work there. It’s been so lovely to see him develop in all areas and become a very confident little man. Lots of different activities are available to enjoy and the food provided all sounds nutritious and delicious. I honestly can’t thank all the staff enough for the care and services they provide.

We've been delighted with Pennies Mark Cross - the staff are brilliant, supportive and flexible. The garden and outside space has been a huge hit and the team have been brilliant working with us as a family and with an extended team in East Sussex to help support our daughter who has hearing loss. It's a family environment and the hours they offer are great for working parents.

Fantastic nursery. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and loving to my little boy. Taking him to Pennies Mark Cross was the best decision I ever made. They made me feel comfortable and most of all my son. He is always very happy there and I love receiving updates throughout the day via the parents app.

My son has been going once a week to Pennies for over a year now. I love how welcomed he is every morning and whilst we hang up his coat and bag, his favourite ball or toy is being put out ready for him to settle in for the day. I love reading his book, to see what home-cooked meal he has eaten and quite often I have a bag with dirty clothes in because he has taken part in messy activities or been outside playing in the mud. Exactly what every toddler should be doing. The staff are always friendly and very accommodating.

Pennies at Mark Cross is a fantastic nursery which I would highly recommend. The nursery staff are very friendly and inviting, they provide a wide range of activities and have great indoor and outdoor spaces. My daughter loves attending two days a week and has been going since she was 10 months old (now 2 1/2 yrs old). Compared to other nurseries we viewed, this one ticked all the boxes and is great value for money as everything is included. The opening hours also work well with my working hours.

Our 15-month-old son has been at Pennies for only one month, but he has settled in as if he has been there for many months. I believe that this is all down to the wonderful people at Pennies. They are friendly, happy, caring and genuinely seem to adore all of the children in their care. It is such a happy place.

Pennies Marks Cross is a lovely nursery. The women who work there are fantastic, always friendly, happy and very dedicated. I feel so happy to drop off my son as I know he’ll have a fun day learning lots of new things. I’d recommend them to other mums without hesitation.

My little boy started before his first birthday and is still part of the nursery for after school club. There’s never been any issues and he’s never not wanted to go and that is my top priority. He’s learnt so much and made some lovely friends along the way. The nursery has always supported any home issues and always listened. I would always highly recommend them to anyone as it’s a massive decision as a parent.

We absolutely love Pennies Mark Cross. They are fantastic. They care so much and are always willing to go the extra mile. They are very supportive of children and carers. The staff know the children incredibly well so the provision is personalised. Children's interests are explored and used in learning which enables children to flourish. Our daughter absolutely loves going to Pennies and we love it too.

Our little girl started here a week ago. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. Nothing is to much trouble. The environment is lovely, with a great outdoor space. We're so pleased we chose Pennies.

My son has been attending Pennies at Mark Cross since he was 18 months old. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, it has a homely feel, I love how much they are able to play outside and the staff are all amazing, every one of them goes above and beyond and I have always been 100% confident that he is in the best possible hands. Amazing place and people, the food always smells great too!!

We are so happy that our son can go to Pennies. He mainly goes once a week, but often we have to increase that due to work commitments, and shortly it will be more days regularly, but the staff always welcome us by name and with huge enthusiasm, and the range of activities seems really diverse, from playing in the garden, to book corner, cooking to painting, it always seems that our son enjoys his time fully, and is building friendships with other toddlers, no doubt encouraged by the excellent staff and minders. We could not be happier with the progress he is making too. Thank you Pennies, for being accommodating, welcoming and so good with our child.

Could not be happier with the lovely staff at Pennies. We looked around a few nurseries and none of them felt quite right, there was always something missing. Within 5 minutes of being shown around, we knew we'd found the right one. They did everything they could to make us feel at ease and help my little girl settle in when I finished maternity. She's been going since she was 10 months old (nearly 2 now) and she loves Pennies.

What bigger compliment to pay than to say that they treat my child as if she was one of their own! The nursery and staff are incredibly enthuastic and the energy and vibe among the staff manifests itself in the way in which they behave with and interact with the children. My baby girl is an incredibly shy soul and does not easily go to people she is not familiar with. She now leaps at the opportunity of much loved cuddles and smiles with her primary carer and all staff that work with her. I feel my child is in an incredibly safe and fun learning environment and enjoys the attention that children enjoy. The updates using technology through the Tapestry applications makes me as a parent feel more part of her day to day growth and development and my wife and I enjoy it thoroughly perusing through the various pictures and videos taken by the staff who make time to record such precious moments when my wife and I are away at work.

Thank you for what you do for our precious little girl!

Both my sons have gone to this nursery and I can't recommend it highly enough. There is lots of outdoor play which they love and everyone working there are just so caring and supportive. My youngest is still there and absolutely loves it!

I have been entirely impressed with Mark Cross overall since my child first started, The staff have been welcoming, friendly and professional but the thing that stands out the most is their passion and care for the children and you can see they are genuinely engaged and keen to make a difference to the children's day ensuring a fun and safe space for them to learn, grow and explore.

I am 100% sure this is due to the dedication, attention, training and true care from the current manager who constantly advocates a fun environment for the children and staff and runs a very tight ship, She always makes time to listen to any queries and/or concerns and are acted on in a prompt, friendly and professional manner and this trust is worth its weight in gold and Mark Cross is I believe truly an exciting success because of her! What a lucky team and group of children they are, for this reason, my child has stayed at Mark Cross during the rebranding.

My son is always very happy at nursery, he’s building great relationships with the carers and his peers. This seems to be a fantastic foundation for his development and learning. He surprises me each week with the milestones he’s making!

My daughter attends five mornings a week. The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful and the facilities and activities are appropriate and fun! My daughter loves going in and gets on very well with all the staff. She has really grown as a child since attending nursery and the advances are truly amazing. We are kept up to date with what she does through detailed regular checks and reports and often see the activities that the children have created which we can put up or have out at home! They also have wonderful homemade food which changes regularly. I would highly recommend Mark Cross Day Nursery to anyone and am extremely pleased with their attitude and service.

This Nursery has such a welcoming, home from home feel to it. The staff are all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They put the needs of the children first and make a real effort to get to know your child and family. We have been very impressed with how the staff have worked with us in order to support our daughter in settling in. Our daughter’s learning is being developed in a safe and stimulating environment both in and outdoors. The staff’s nurturing care is helping her personality to blossom as she grows in confidence. We are so pleased with our decision to send our daughter to this nursery. She is always so happy after her day of fun activities, cosy sleep and delicious home cooked food. Knowing that she is in safe and caring hands has made returning to work much easier.
