Young Sussex Nursery (Hove)

We have another baby who will be starting at the end of the year. I have no doubts or worries about returning to work as I know the staff at Young Sussex will make this transition smooth and give my daughter the best care and attention.

The key person system works extremely well and helped our son to settle into nursery quickly. The staff provide an update after each session to let you know what they have done, how they have eaten, slept etc which is very helpful. It is nice to get a real feel for that by getting photos and messages on the Tapestry system. The staff are well qualified and I am happy that my son will be well looked after as well as having a lot of fun and learning some new things too.

I don’t think this experience would be this smooth without Young Sussex structured and meticulous approach to school preparation. The standard of care and education is very high and I’d recommend Young Sussex over and over again.

Our children are very happy here and our experiences are generally excellent.

The management are very helpful as we have had many issues (through no fault of the nursery or us) with the 30 hours funding and the manager has always helped sort it out with us.

The staff all seem very nice and our child never complains about anyone or anything.

The good outside space at the nursery is one of the things that drew us to use it.

I think all nurseries are much of a muchness when it comes to cost, so it's difficult to answer a value for money question.

The only criticism is that sometimes we've had to ask several times to ensure the emergency contacts are used in the correct order. Messages have been left for my wife without even an attempt to call me in the past and I am number 1 on the list to call. However, asking management to rectify this seems to have worked and the issue does not exist now.

There have been minor glitches with invoices but not for a while now and rectified quickly.

Great staff, good daily reports provided. Sharing of events via pics or video to ensure you don't miss out on those precious momemts. I've had no problems with this nursery.

Both my sons (age 2&3) started at Young Sussex in Hove a couple of months ago. We knew from the first introduction session that this was the right nursery for them, they both absolutely loved it! The staff are so friendly and made them feel welcome and at ease. My younger son's speech has improved dramatically since going there, and both are interacting with other children in a really positive way. Each morning the boys jump out of bed with no hesitation and are excited to be going to nursery. When I pick them up, the staff give me a quick overview of their day and what they have been up to which is always nice. They also have an online system you can log into to see pictures of your child and the activities they have been doing which is fantastic. My eldest sons vocabulary is getting broader by the day, he's always coming out with new words and phrases we haven't heard him say before, which means he's definitely learning there! Would highly recommend Young Sussex!!

Our twins attended Young Sussex for three years, from when they were 18 months old until when they started school last week. I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. The quality of care provided is excellent, with staff well trained, caring, nurturing and highly professional. I have been amazed at the range of activities provided (yoga, music, forest school type activities, growing chicks, butterflies and froglets, as well as outside visits from zoolab and the fire brigade), and at the dedication of the staff in ensuring a rich and stimulating nursery experience. Our children thoroughly enjoyed their time at Young Sussex and have been looking forward to going back to visit! The ability to do session swaps has been very useful, so we have rarely had to pay for extra sessions. The food is healthy, with our children eating things they would refuse at home. The use of Tapestry as an online learning journal enables parents to upload pictures and comments from home.

Our daughter is very happy at Young Sussex. She has been attending for about a year now. The staff are all great and we love the collaborative way they work with us to support our daughter in whatever she is up to. We are thrilled we chose Young Sussex.

To summarize, happy family at Aldrington Young Sussex Nursery!

Cannot recommend enough.

My son has been at Young Sussex since he was 1 (he is now turning 4), as was his older brother. The experience we have had at the nursery has been excellent. The boys have and are developing into confident, sociable individuals which have been strongly driven by the nursery and its staff.

Both boys have also learned lots and the support and learning my older son got has really helped with his start in school. They have both formed really strong friendships with the other children during their time at Young Sussex. It has been a great nursery for development and learning.

I am really pleased we have chosen this nursery. The staff are simply brilliant and my daughter, 15 months, is very happy to be left here. The team know her very well and she is content and is happy. I am kept up to date on everything relating to her. A great place for her to learn and grow.

Young Sussex Nursery Hove was the first nursery we viewed and we decided straight away that we wanted our daughter to come here every day. The atmosphere is great and the staff are extremely friendly and approachable and they really cared for the children. Our daughter absolutely loves coming here and she gets excited when we walk through the gate. Thank you to everyone at Young Sussex for 2 fantastic years at the nursery.

Young Sussex has really helped improve our sons confidence and learning. The staff are excellent all of the time and very helpful and easy to approach.

Our daughter loves coming to Young Sussex Nursery, Bumble Bees. The staff clearly care a lot about all of the children. The activities are really varied and lots of fun. The management are great and very helpful and flexible.

A fantastic nursery, good food, flexibility and great events. My daughter has learned so much here and progressed really quickly and settled in really well with no fuss.

Friendly nursery with a focus on children having lots of fun whilst learning new things. I was amazed when the whole class sung a Spanish Christmas song - and they were so proud of themselves. Such a nurturing environment.

We've been really happy with the nursery. My son enjoys coming in and seems to be making good progress in terms of shape, colour, number etc. We're loving tapestry too. He has formed lovely friendships too. The staff have been fantastic in both rooms, very helpful and armed with an anecdote at the end of the day which helps us to understand how his day has been. It always seems like the staff know the children really well.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Young Sussex. The practitioners have always been lovely and I have always been confident that she has been well cared for. The activities are great and I feel that she is well prepared for starting school in September. Thank you.

Absolutely love the nursery. Staff so genuinely care for my daughter, talks non stop about them, like they are family. Great! Thank you so much.
