Young Sussex Nursery (Hove)

Our son attended Young Sussex from just after he was one year old until he left to go to school this September 2017. We were consistently pleased with the level of care and the activities he did there. He particularly enjoyed many of the nature-based activities such as growing seeds, watching butterflies hatch and grow, and making a bug hotel. He also enjoyed learning about shapes, colours, the human body and constructing games. The input and care from his key worker was brilliant and he had a real rapport with both her and the other nursery workers, who showed genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment looking after the children. It was also great to get updates about how he was getting on, what he had done that day, how well he had eaten, etc. We really appreciated this and we felt we had a real knowledge of what he was doing during his time there. This was supplemented by photos, videos and comments on the online photo report system. We would definitely recommend Young Sussex as a great nursery.

My daughter has had a wonderful time at Young Sussex Hove. They take the time to make sure they get to know the children to ensure that they are happy and settled in the nursery environment. The facilities are great and it has been lovely to see the flowers and vegetables grow in the outside area and how much they include the children in looking after them. If I have ever had an issue they have worked with me to resolve it and ensure my daughter is continuously happy.

The staff are all so friendly and work with the parents to make the nursery experience memorable. The Christmas event and parties they hold really go beyond what you would expect and is why Young Sussex is a nursery I would recommend to any of my friends.

As we are moving house with huge regret we had to move our son from nursery too. We all will miss this fantastic place. Our son join it when he was just over one. He is now 2.5 y.o. he loved this place, stuff and already get to have few close friends. He is very happy and confident boy where at Young Sussex this was always nourished and helped him to build it up even stronger. He loves space and possibility to explore and discover new things which nursery had lots of opportunities to do so. As he is bilingual it was very well supported. Our son loves nursery meals especially pasta often he would ask for seconds or even thirds which he refuses to eat at home. My words cant describe what a marvelous place it is Young Sussex in Aldrington.

We have been really happy with Young Sussex ever since our son joined the nursery at 11 months. He's now almost 3 years old and we've felt the whole way through that his care and development has been in the best hands. His language and learning are progressing fantastically and we feel confident that not only is he safe and secure, but also very cared for. The warmth he has been shown is one of the key factors for us in terms of the high regard in which we hold Young Sussex. We couldn't recommend it or the staff enough.

Excellent feedback daily on activities. There's such a huge variety of things going on, it's no surprise that both our children are always really happy and excited to tell is about their day.

My son's development has improved massively since starting at Young Sussex. His carers are very friendly and my son has become very confident since working with them.
As a parent, I find it very easy to talk to the staff regarding any concerns or queries etc. Overall, very happy with the service.

My daughter had a difficult settling period which the nursery handled brilliantly with care and thought.
They have really gotten to know my daughter having her needs into consideration at all times. The staff are friendly, professional and approachable, making transition stress free. We are all very happy. Thank you.

Can't talk more highly of the staff here. We love to see how our daughter's confidence and social skills have grown as a result of the genuinely impressive care and love the staff show. Thank you!

We are extremely happy with the care our daughter is provided with. All of the staff are very friendly and no matter who you speak to they are fully aware of what is going on with her. It is clear the communication between staff is excellent. We feel that the nursery provides a great environment to support our daughter's development.

Childcare really excellent.

My son has settled in really well into Ladybirds and that is certainly due to the warm welcoming staff who have helped him to settle in so well. He runs in most days, excited to be here and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up. He enjoys all the activities and I love seeing what he has been doing on his tapestry.

We love Young Sussex. The staff are friendly and the variety of activities the children do are great. I am kept up to date with honest reports of my child's progress. My child's key worker is a huge asset to this nursery.

Very happy with how the nursery is run and all the key workers in my daughter's room are so caring and welcoming, each and every day. It's a delight to take her somewhere she enjoys.

I think that Young Sussex is a fantastic nursery and I frequently recommend it to friends and colleagues. In particular the staff are professional, friendly and engaged, particularly one member who is an asset to the nursery in every way.

As we approach school age it's wonderful to see the building blocks already forming with the help of the wonderful team at Young Sussex. I'm confident my child will start school in September well prepared and ready to start his primary education. Thank you for all your hard work.

Excellent care and attention to all areas. Very happy and trust nursery completely.

Fantastic care from all staff, good communication, friendly and professional.

Really happy with the range of activities provided and the enthusiasm of the staff. I have no concerns about the nursery and both my boys are very happy here.

My son has really enjoyed being at nursery. He loves arriving and does not want to leave. He especially enjoys the specialist music lessons.
The rooms and outside areas are spacious and well resourced and most importantly, the staff are excellent.
He loves his food here too. We are really pleased with his progress.

Our children absolutely love their nursery. They're always very happy, well-fed, full of stories and fun. They (and we) like the staff, who are caring, confident and passionate. The staff focus on each child a lot and there's a lot of learning through fun. We're always amazed by the new skills our children bring back from nursery.
On an admin side, we think everything is very well organised. The set up is flexible for parents and it's also great value for money.

I've found Young Sussex Hove to be a great nursery. The staff are fantastic with my son and they all appear to be very experienced and qualified for providing early years development.

We have always been very impressed with Young Sussex Nursery and our daughter now attends as a result of our son's positive experience there. It is an open, friendly and caring learning environment where children develop friendships and confidence as well as an eagerness to learn and explore.

My son only recently joined Young Sussex Nursery (Hove) in the 'Dragonflies' room, but so far I have been more than happy with the care he receives. The settling in procedure worked very well and although he is clingy at drop off, I know he will quickly recover as he has plenty of fun. The staff are all wonderful - very approachable and friendly. I feel that my son has a great time and will be well prepared for school next year. Many thanks!

This nursery provides tailored, enriching and loving care to my two children. They are patient and affectionate when children are upset or need comfort to nap. They have also been on the ball with monitoring my older son's difficulties with social situations and emotional development. I would recommend this nursery to both full-time and part-time care.

I like friendly atmosphere in the group, my child is very happy.

My daughter has always been very happy at the nursery. The staff are very professional and kind. My child is thriving in this very caring environment. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My daughter enjoys going to nursery. She has made great connections with all of the teachers. The resources available are great and they are empowered to play and experience what they would like. All admin information from the office is always timely and informative.

I found it really helpful when 'Young Sussex Nursery' introduced tapestry so I could see how my son was doing any time at work. I think 'Young Sussex Nursery' provides a great environment for young children to grow and play. I have no negatives to bring forward.

Young Sussex have been fantastic at supporting our son through his early years. Their knowledge and expertise has given us confidence that our son is being supported and encouraged with all aspects of early years curriculum. Our son's happiness and confidence is testament to their caring and holistic approach. We have and will continue to recommend this outstanding nursery to everybody.

For me, the best thing about this nursery is the staff. Across the board, they are warm and nurturing. I currently have my second child there and I truly feel like they love her and know her very well. They have helped her develop strong friendships and learn positive ways to interact socially. The progression from room to room is well done and makes them feel like they are more and more capable. Although she is not yet 4, they have given her a strong grounding for reading as she has learned all the letters and their sounds. I can't say enough about this wonderful nursery.

I would highly recommend Young Sussex to any parent looking for a nursery for their child. We have two boys who have thrived there for over three years. Staff are competent, caring and attentive and the premises are well equipped with educational and engaging toys. Really can't recommend it enough!!

My daughter has global developmental delay and thrives at Young Sussex. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds. I love how flexible the nursery is, adapting to my daughters needs and treating her as an individual.

Young Sussex is an excellent nursery that I have found. My daughter has build up confident and her development since starting. Lots of activities during in the day. My daughter has grown in imagination. All the staff are very friendly and kind, professional. Glad I had chose YS.

Both my children have attended this nursery and I cannot fault the care they have received. The nursery team have remained consistent throughout the whole time giving much much needed stability and security I have always felt that my children's needs have been met and the nursery has always been proactive whenever the kids have had little 'wobbles'. Everyone is so friendly and obviously happy in their work. A bonus are all the extra activities that are organised through third parties - forest school, cooking lessons, childrens yoga, music and movement sessions, animal visits - to name a few.

I feel that Young Sussex provide excellent day care and my son's confidence has grown while he has been there. Staff are fantastic!

Our daughter loves the nursery. I feel it has really helped her development. As well as our daughter learning, having fun and developing, I find the nursery flexible and accommodating. I love the space the nursery has and there is always good communication between us and the staff.

My daughter loves coming to nursery. All staff are fantastic. There's no problem in the morning and the food is amazing. My daughter is really developing.

My son started at this nursery in August 2015 and is so happy there. He settled in really easily and all the staff are amazing. He is so enthusiastic about the time he spends at nursery and this must be due to the staff and set up at YS. We are very happy with how he is cared for and the activities and routine.

My 2.5 year old has settled brilliantly into nursery with the help of their fabulous staff. His speech and imagination has improved massively. He runs straight into the room when he is dropped off and comes home singing new songs and telling me about his day. The staff give brilliant support and are always happy to help. I am so happy with this nursery. I have had no faults. I couldn't recommend highly enough.
