We have nothing but good things to say about Tinysaurus. My daughter has been extremely happy since her very first day. We're already dreading her leaving next year.

My son going to Tinysaruse Nursery since when he was 6 months old. The staff are very friendly and lovely. My son has learned so much from them in the time that he's been at nursery. And when he brings what he's learned home for me to see.
Tinysaruse Nursery is one of the best! It was always easy for
me to recommend for families why wanted the best experience for their children!

Tinysaurus is a fantastic nursery that I recommend to my friends. My child enjoys going to nursery and the staff are all loving and creative arranging all sorts of activities for the kids to enjoy. The management is professional, organised and approachable. I enjoy collecting my child each day and seeing
all the artwork and photos of what the kids have been up to, which is displayed in the entry hall of the nursery. The nursery is always clean and safe, I've enrolled my other child to start this summer.

The entire team at Tinysaurus are amazing! I had to move my baby from another nursery, and was very nervous due to my previous bad experience. The team at Tinysaurus did everything to settle my baby at the nursery in a caring and calm manner. The management team have been stable for a long time and
this really shows, I hope they never leave! Communication with the team is brilliant, honest and reassuring. My baby is really happy at the nursery, and I can go to work without feeling like a bad mum. I cannot thank the team enough and would highly recommend this outstanding nursery!

I have recommended this nursery to many friends and I came via recommendation too! It is the best nursery you can have if you are fussy and difficult to please. The girls are lovely, they build great relationships with our children. They are very knowledgeable and approachable. You can call them at
any time and they will always respond to your feedback. It’s a very well structured nursery, extremely clean, and food is delicious. The camera is a bonus!

My daughter has been attending Tinysaurus full time since last summer and has truly thrived during her time there. They have helped her so much with her confidence and she has really come out of her shell since the first few months and made some wonderful friends along the way. All the staff are highly
competent and attentive and provide a fun learning environment with lots of interesting and engaging activities. I feel my daughter has been given all the tools that she will need to move on to big school in September. I am already sad just thinking about it but I am truly grateful and can't thank all the girls at Tinysaurus enough for having helped my little one sail through this first but most important journey in her life.

We love Tinysaurus and couldn't recommend it more. The staff are wonderful, know each child's name, tailor learning to their needs and truly care about the children in their care. It is like a home from home experience, with an enriched learning environment from the moment you enter. It's so lovely
seeing the children's beautiful work and learning experiences and trips in the entrance, it's wonderful.
Thank you all for your hard work.

My son needed to see a speech and language therapist because of his lack of speech.
The therapist contacted the nursery and sent a report with strategies to follow. They have been very helpful and helped my son. They created a lot of activities and followed the therapist's advice.
They did a lot of
different activities over the Christmas period including getting Father Christmas.

This is a great nursery, staff and management are friendly and really take the time to get to know your child. My daughter loves going and we're very happy with the progress she makes and fun she has by attending. We have a second child now and have him booked in already as we didn't want to miss out
on getting him into this nursery!
We would highly recommend this nursery.

Fantastic facilities with a lovely feel. Having the park next door is a big bonus. Activities are varied and engaging.


The staff have been outstanding. Our daughter has a lovely bond with several members of staff, which is so reassuring.


Of course most of the above is expected from a good nursery.

What is exceptional is how the staff go above and beyond to help with any problems. They have been a great support to us. We are very grateful.

To put it simply, this is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has been there from the age of nine months and is now two and a half. Our neighbour's children go there and so do my brothers. We struggled to get a place for my younger daughter who will start in September. Professional, motivated and compassionate
staff with a great institutional ethos results in happily stimulated kids and happy parents.

Quite honestly an absolutely outstanding nursery.
My daughter has been going to Tinysaurus since she was 10 months old, she is now just over two. She very quickly developed a lovely bond with the staff, which is just a joy to see. All the staff are kind, caring and professional and at every drop-off
and pick up, we are greeted with a smile. The activities that the children partake in are educational
and varied but also give the children the structure and routine that is required. Thank you Tinysaurus, your consistent hard work is much appreciated by all the parents and children. You really do go above and beyond expectations.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter, who is now 2.5, has been attending nursery since we moved down to Hove from London in May last year. She loves going and looks forward to her days at nursery and I am lucky if I get a goodbye when we get there. She is always happy and full of the great things that she has done that day
when we pick her up. At her nursery in London, she cried when we left her for months but never at Tinysaurus. They make a huge effort to do a very varied number of activities from chocolate playdough to having a Chinese Lion come to visit The kids are stimulated and happy and get to do all sorts of messy activities that my kitchen might not recover from. My son also attended Tinysaurus in the run up to starting school and I felt happy that he arrived at school well prepared and with a good grounding in the basics, as well as having fun while he was there. We are delighted with our choice of Tinysaurus and grateful to have such a wonderful nursery in our area.

Tinysaurus is a fabulous, little nursery! We have 3 little boys (4, 2 and 9mths) and all 3 will have been/go to Tinysaurus until they start school.


Our youngest will be starting soon and we have no doubt he will enjoy himself as much as the other two.


The team are professional, fun and incredibly

caring. They get to know the children so well and truly understand their individual needs and areas for development.


Our eldest has just started school and I really believe Tinysaurus prepared him well for the transition.


A great team of staff, safe, clean environment and a happy atmosphere! Overall delighted with the choice we made for our boys!

Our daughter has attended Tinysaurus Nursery since she was 9 months old (she is now 4.5 years). Her development in all areas has been phenomenal and we have recommended several friends to sign up sooner rather than later when they have been pregnant. The management and her team are dedicated, genuinely
care about the children and staff turnover seems to be low which has to be a good sign of a happy environment. I wouldn't send our child anywhere else - it's home away from home for her and I trust them implicitly.

My son went to the nursery and moved into school last year, but my daughter is a very happy pupil currently. Having been a customer of the nursery for a number of years now, I can't recommend the nursery highly enough. The staff are very helpful, responsive and creative. My son required additional
support due to his disabilities and the strategies were implemented quickly and effectively, which gave him the best possible experience to thrive in a lovely nursery. My daughter always has a smile on her face when she is dropped off and picked up and has clearly had a day full of fun. The nursery has a lovely outside area and lots of different rooms in the house and outside and this creates different learning areas for the children to enjoy. An excellent nursery, where the staff truly care about the children and keep the parents well informed.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
