Hilltop Nursery

As a mum, I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are caring, friendly, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. My child settled in quickly and looks forward to going every day, which gives me great peace of mind.

The nursery provides a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment with a wide range of engaging activities that support learning through play. I have seen a noticeable improvement in my child's confidence, social skills, and independence since attending.

Communication with parents is excellent, and the team always keeps me informed about my child's progress and daily activities. I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of everyone at the nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place where their child can thrive.

The outside space is faultless now, the organisation and ease of contacting the staff alongside the daily reports and photos are always gratefully received.

The hilltop nursery is a special place for my grandson. He has been going there for nearly two years come October 2023. Lately, all the Hilltop staff have been extra supportive and informative, with emergency family issues of mine lately, they have stepped up and gone above and beyond in there professional approach, my grandson has to go too extra sessions at the nursery at the moment , and just by him going in, with a spring in his step every morning, says enough in his actions of going in with not a care in the world....we salute you Hilltop nursery. Thank you very much indeed.

We've been at the nursery for about a month, and so far it's been a really positive experience. My son loves going. His key person, is warm and caring. The whole team is supportive, and communication is fast and clear. The environment is safe, well-organized, and the outdoor space is especially great. We're very happy so far!

My daughter has been attending here since February 2025 she settled so well she loves all the staff. She comes back really happy and she's always talking about nursery when she's at home. I'm so glad I managed to get her a place here the staff are really friendly and helpful and I don't feel like I have to worry when my daughter is there I really recommend Hilltop Nursery to everyone. It's a lovely place to be.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Caring staff, well managed, our children have been so happy there, can't ask for any more and they have learnt so much. Wonderful outdoor space, especially love that the kids get to play in the mud and they are so happy about it!

Both my children, aged almost 4 and almost 1, currently attend Hilltop Nursery. My son who has been going for 2 years absolutely loves going here and asks "Is it nursery today?" most days! My daughter who started when she was 9 months has settled in well, all the staff have been so nurturing and adaptive to both their needs. We get frequent updates on how they have been and lots of pictures. Communication between the staff and myself has been excellent both in person or via the app. All the staff here are fantastic and I do not hesitate to leave my children with them. They spend lots of time outside whatever the weather and they love getting muddy and learning through messy outdoor play! I would 100% recommend this nursery- It is fantastic and I will be sad when the nursery days are over.

Hilltop nursery is a wonderful nursery. Friendly and professional staff who are always happy to help and chat about the little ones. The children are kept busy with lots of fun and educational activities and have free-flow access to a lovely garden. Our little boy really enjoys his time at Hilltops.

I cannot imagine a safer set of hands to leave my children in.

I cannot give enough praise for Hilltop Nursery. My son has attended twice weekly for over a year and has the most fabulous time. He is thriving thanks to the care, encouragement and support that all members of the team provide. We have noticed his language skills and his manners develop rapidly following each session - I feel that some of this is because of the multi-age free play times that they have as a result of being a smaller nursery. They spend lots of time in the garden each day and my son loves this fresh air, no matter the weather. The staff know the children well and build excellent nurturing relationships. The communication is effective, both through the Famly app and in person at the end of each day. The nursery team are flexible and always willing to accommodate extra sessions if these are possible. We are so grateful for everyone at Hilltop!

A massive thank you to everyone for their care.

Hilltop is such a friendly and fantastic nursery. Our baby just settled immediately at eleven months and kicks with delight as soon as she sees the nursery. She loves the garden and the staff are so great at spending so much of the day with the children in the garden. The staff are incredibly caring and our little one loves them. They really provide reassurance and a personal service for you as the parent too. We couldn’t be happier. Being a smaller nursery I really feel like the staff go the extra mile for each and every little one. And the young children really grow in confidence in that environment.

The staff at the nursery have a brilliant understanding of my child's needs and understand the importance of challenging them. They use the outdoor space really well and have a good staff balance between senior members and trainers (staff in education). I also really like the communication between staff and parents by using the Famly app which means I can have fast and efficient communication.

My son attended Hilltop for two years and loved it, especially the garden with the mud kitchen and active fun and games with nursery children of all ages. He learnt a lot about caring for others from being with them. He was sad to leave friends and lovely teachers to start big school! The staff went out of their way to be friendly, helpful and accommodating. The flexibility of each day is greater than any nursery I know of and very welcome for some days when work or other personal commitments need it. The door is now open for my youngest son who will be doing some stay and play sessions when I work on-site and I am confident he will also be very happy there. There are other sites around Sussex too if they suit your location better.

Hilltop provides a fun, caring environment with very open and attentive staff. They were extremely flexible when it came to introducing nursery/transition arrangements for our little one to get used to being left at nursery. It's small so doesn't feel overwhelming and there's a large outdoor space. The app for invoicing, news, photos, progress reports, communicating with parents etc. is a really useful feature.

I would definitely recommend this Nursery to any parent.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for about 8 months. She has been very happy her learning has come on really well. The staff are lovely very friendly. Thank you guys so glad we are using you many thanks

Hilltop is a wonderful nursery. My son has been attending for 9 months and loves it. The staff are engaging, enthusiastic and caring. My son took a while to settle as it was his first experience and childcare and all the staff were so patient with him. I would not hesitate to recommend Hilltop Nursery. We are more than happy we found this nursery.

Both my children (son now 7, daughter 4) have attended Hilltop Nursery from a very young age and have both loved it. The staff are amazing- nurturing, fun and engaging. The setting is small enough not to feel overwhelming for very little ones and the green outdoor garden is a fantastic space to play. Hilltop has been a wonderful environment for my little ones and would thoroughly recommend.

My son is very happy at Hilltop. The staff are warm and welcoming. It has a very friendly caring atmosphere and great outdoor space.
