Home by The Sea Day Nursery & Pre-school

After looking around different nurseries for our nine month child, we decided to go with Home By The Sea as our first impressions of the nursery exceeded others we had visited and all staff not only gave the impression they cared, but also enjoyed their work. Since enrolling, our child 6 months ago, she has grown fond of all her carers and thoroughly enjoys being there 3 times a week. The staff are really engaging and the structure of play and learning seems to have a good balance especially with the extra activities they put on. The garden is a fantastic place to explore and play and large enough to run around. We are really happy we chose Home By the Sea for or Child. One criticism is that we can't provide any food for our child and she's not keen on the options available. I appreciate that allergies take precedence but it would be helpful for us if we could pack a few healthy homemade items for her to eat with no nuts if she doesn't want the moussaka!

I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment. Thank you for everything you do!

Since my daughter started at Home by the Sea, she's been so happy and settled. She loves the staff, has made friends, and is always smiling at drop-off and pick-up - which says everything! it's so reassuring as a parent. I can't recommend Home by the Sea enough. They are so warm and welcoming every time I go there.

Our daughter has had such a brilliant time at Home By The Sea. Outstanding staff who really nurture the children and keep parents in the loop. They're always seeking to do more and improve - we really love that they have introduced take home activity bags for parents to use with their kids. So thoughtful. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

The nursery itself is genuinely a home from home environment, with unique and unrivalled outside space. On occasion there has been some confusion with communication but overall we are extremely happy!

My toddler 2yr old has a great time at nursery. He has so much fun, is always playing outside and having fun. Couldn't recommend Home by the Sea more. Management are always with the kids and staff and it has a great family feel. The house is fun and it feels like a home away from your home. The back garden is fantastic and Friday football is loved by our little one.

Home by the Sea is a wonderful nursery. The love, care and consistency our daughter receives is second to none. Zoja and the practitioners she leads are exceptional -genuinely caring, professional and a real asset to the nursery and to iStep as a group.

The quality of the team and the nurturing environment they create is what matters most to us, and in that regard we couldn't be happier. With that in mind, the nursery would truly benefit from some investment in the building and décor to match the outstanding standard of care already being delivered. With a refreshed environment, this setting would be absolutely exceptional.

We are very happy parents and would wholeheartedly recommend Home by the Sea

Cannot recommend them enough!

The recent open day was once again wonderful chance to spend time with the staff and other parents, exploring the environment that she learns in and of course meeting santa!

Home by the Sea has offered a wonderfully warm, friendly, safe and supportive environment for our child to thrive in. The large garden is fantastic and the staff are always so friendly and attentive. We trust that our child will be well looked after and safe.

Our experience with the nursery has been overall excellent, the staff is very caring and supportive, there's always very good communication from the nursery and they've been really helpful with a toddler that had just never spent time with anyone else other than mum. They are so sweet and I can't highlight enough how grateful we are to be able to fully trust each and every single one of them - especially in times like this.

All three of my children have attended home by the sea nursery and have thrived there! The staff are such an asset to the nursery, they really take the time to get to know all the children, find out (and remember!) their likes and dislikes and give them the best possible nursery experience.

Such a fantastic experience with Home by the Sea. There is so much warmth and love at this nursery from all the staff and the general vibe of the whole place. The nursey is small and personal and our pre-schooler has gained so much confidence, skills and lovely friendships setting him up really well for school. A massive Thankyou from us.

We love Home by the sea. My child is so happy and settled. All the team is amazing, every each one of staff taking extra care. The environment is stunning and well planned for all the children to have great opportunities of learning and exploring.

My son has been attending the nursery for 18 months having come from another nursery where we didn't have a great experience. What a difference! Home by the sea is so friendly, open and homely. All the staff are wonderful and it has been joyous to watch my son grow at the nursery. My son will be going to school in September and we will really miss home by the sea and everybody there.

My little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 13 months old, and I honestly can't fault them. They truly provide a home-from-home experience. All the staff are wonderful, especially Aimee she been amazing. I couldn't recommend them more highly

Thank you to the staff at Home by the Sea.

Our daughter has been at Home by The Sea Day Nursery & Pre-school for 2 and a half years. Starting in the toddler room and is now in preschool. We have had a wonderful experience from the start. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and have nurtured and looked after her so well from baby to pre-schooler. She loves going in and talks about her day in the whole way home. From activities and reading during group time to lots of fun outside in huge garden, making mud pies and playing on the apparatus. She also loves the snack bar! Highly recommend to any parents considering Home by The Sea for their little one.

We couldn't be happier with the care that Home by the Sea gives our little boy. He's been settled there since he was 18 months old and has transitioned beautifully through their toddler room into the bigger pre school floor. We love the free flow approach to using the garden, which was always such a big bonus for us. The younger children also have a chance to mix with the older ones which is so nice for both groups.

Staff wise, they are all absolutely lovely and the level of care shown is second to none. Anytime we've had an issue with separation anxiety, food, potty training etc, they've been really keen to work together to support our little boy which makes it feel like we're a team. It's so reassuring to be able to leave our little boy knowing he's thriving being in such good hands. Home by the Sea was recommended to us by a friend and we're so happy they did.

I couldn't have made a better decision to send my daughter to Home by the Sea. All the staff members are so warm and seem to know her so well, always commenting on her progress and funny anecdotes about what she has been up to each day. The activities they do with toddlers are so creative, often involving messy play and I loved they recently invited two hospital workers to come and talk to the children and let them engage with the medical equipment. The garden is massive and I particularly appreciate recent efforts to involve parents in the work of the nursery, including through fun Christmas parties and introducing a story time for parents to lead with the children. I would welcome any further efforts to increase networking opportunities within the parent community.
