Home by the Sea takes pride in providing exceptional, individualised childcare, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging for both children and their families.
Housed in a spacious, detached Victorian former family home, the nursery features a beautiful 100-foot garden with apple trees and an allotment, offering a magical outdoor space for children to explore and learn. Free movement between rooms is a cornerstone of the nursery’s ethos. The garden, an extension of the house, includes a lawn, wood chip areas, decking, a scientific exploration zone, fruit trees, a children’s allotment, and a hideaway. This encourages children to explore, learn, and play freely, making each day an adventure.
Just a pebble’s throw from the beach, the nursery provides an inspiring and enchanting environment. Its warm, comforting colour scheme, natural wooden furniture, large, airy rooms, and stunning private garden create a familiar, fun, and relaxing atmosphere where children thrive.
Each staff member brings a unique talent, whether in languages, music, drama, or dance, contributing to a rich and varied experience for the children. The nursery is proud to have such an experienced, committed, and highly qualified team, dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment.

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!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear that your initial impressions of Home by the Sea were so positive and that your daughter has settled in well, building strong relationships with the team and enjoying her time with us each week. It's wonderful to...

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

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.

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We're delighted to hear how much your son has enjoyed his time with us at Home by the Sea. It's been a joy watching him grow and thrive, and while we'll miss you both, we wish him all the best as he begins his school journey!
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

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that she enjoys her days here-whether it's getting stuck into activities, exploring the garden, or visiting the snack bar! Our team takes great pride in creating a warm and nurturing environment, so your kind words truly mean the world to us. Thank you for your recommendation!

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's been an absolute joy to watch your little one grow and thrive with us. We're so glad our free-flow garden and mixed-age approach have been such a positive part of his journey. Our team is always here to support, and it means so much to hear that you...

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.
