Both of my children attended Young Sussex. They both flourished there and think back on their time with fond memories. The staff are wonderful. Very nurturing and caring. Drop-offs can be tricky, and staff were always understanding and would call later to let me know my child had settled. There were lots of activities, story times and a nice garden to play in. But the main thing was that I felt like my children were being well looked after and were safe. In all our time there, there was one incident when my daughter had put a stone up her nose. The nursery called straightaway.
Our two boys joined Young Sussex Nursery aged 2 and 3. We had moved to the area and therefore had to transfer nursery. The team at Young Sussex gave us such piece of mind that our boys were looked after and invested in educationally, whilst we both were busy working parents. I like many things...
Our two boys joined Young Sussex Nursery aged 2 and 3. We had moved to the area and therefore had to transfer nursery. The team at Young Sussex gave us such piece of mind that our boys were looked after and invested in educationally, whilst we both were busy working parents. I like many things about the nursery. Highlights include the great space available, in and out, and the depth of resources the team can turn to physically to undertake educational sessions. The longevity of the management team and the staff in a competitive industry also speaks volumes. Young Sussex provided our family with a brilliant start and then confidence our children now have in all areas has supported a great start at school. This is an outstanding nursery environment in Brighton.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough- my daughter attended the Hove site a few years ago and we were equally impressed.

We cannot have asked for a better nursery for our daughter to develop, learn and make new friends. She is a quietly confident child, takes a while to get to know a situation and they really helped bring her out of her shell from the very beginning and at every transition to the next group.
Every single member of staff has been a pleasure to speak to, they always have time for feedback on the day and if you have any questions.
It's a very nurturing environment and it feels very organised and well run. They were really flexible as well if we ever needed extra days and the swap days for holidays were also really helpful.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone, and have no doubt your child will be well cared for and settle in in no time at all. We will miss it very much!
Do not hesitate to bring your children to this "big family".

We are very happy with our choice of nursery and we can't wait to see what she gets up to next term!
Young Sussex has been marvellous for my daughter and previously my son! They are lovely professional people with attention to detail, nothing is too much trouble, they have good communication systems in place, and strive to improve if needed, highly recommended for great child care and learning.

My son attended Young Sussex Nursery Brighton from January 2021 to September 2023. I could not be happier with his experience at Young Sussex and I am so glad I chose this nursery for him. The staff have been incredible throughout, so nurturing, kind and unwavering in their support for him and all of his needs. I have always felt heard and respected by the team and felt reassured leaving him in their capable hands. The food was always great and the kids spend a lot of time playing outdoors, which I love! My son always came home having had a fun day with lots to tell me about. He made some lovely friends at nursery and I believe all the staff contributed to boosting his confidence and allowing him to express himself and feel safe. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Thank you to everyone at Young Sussex for giving him an amazing start to early years life!

Young Sussex is a wonderful nursery. They took very good care of my child, which helped to develop her in many ways! The session timing helped me to get childcare that fit my schedule. Everyone was caring and sweet, so my daughter became very attached to everyone there. I would recommend this nursery without hesitation.
My daughter has been with the nursery for the last three months and is always happy for us to leave her and always looks like she is having a lovely time when we collect her. No complaints! Staff are lovely and informative and give you a run down of the day.

The whole time we have had a positive and happy experience, even though the uncertainty of the pandemic. The staff were always great, and our daughter was always happy to go in and had a great time, and we always felt she was in a safe, secure environment.
I would recommend Young Sussex to anyone and am planning to send my son there once I return to work.

After eight years and two children at Young Sussex, I could not recommend Young Sussex highly enough. My girls flourished there, and I am sad we are now at the end of an era. The staff have been lovely over the years and provided great support during the pandemic when my child needed a place to be while we worked for the NHS.
Young Sussex has such an amazing team of staff that were incredibly caring and supportive to us as a family and our little boy. Always greeted with big smiles. Our son was clearly content in Tiger Cubs - and with his ongoing health issues to navigate, we felt very supported by the team, which...
We were very sad to leave (due to moving) but were very happy in the knowledge that our son had one of the best starts in life in the nursery with the help of Young Sussex. I could not recommend them enough - they are fantastic!
Not to mention the ongoing daily support with his stammer, food allergies and sore skin.

Not to mention the ongoing daily support with his stammer, food allergies and sore skin.
Despite all of the above, my son is absolutely thriving, full of confidence and happiness. I have no doubt that he has had the best start to school life, and his future success has been shaped by his experiences during these early years at Young Sussex.
We honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!
From start to end, they’ve supported us as a family and our daughter through the entire process.
She will truly miss all the staff and going to Young Sussex.

It’s been our extended family for the last 18 months.
The care and education provided are top-notch; having a child five years older, I wish I’d known about Young Sussex before. We will be forever grateful to the staff at Young Sussex for our memories, but she is so ready to start her next adventure. We hope that Young Sussex continues to thrive for a very long time.
My daughter loved attending Young Sussex Nursery. She would always walk in happy, and she created a very strong bond will all the team. Every day she would come home with new skills, and I could see the positive impact the nursery activities had on her development. Her needs and interest were...
Also, she always enjoyed the food. They have a great outdoor space and always do the most incredible project to keep the little minds busy.

Our son loved his time at Young Sussex. He made brilliant friends and learned so much about who he is and the world around him. We have been incredibly grateful to his key workers and room leaders (Bears and Tigers), who have always encouraged his interests, supported his development and celebrated him for who he is. Throughout the challenges of the pandemic, they have helped him feel safe and settled, and he was always so enthusiastic to go in. We were just sad to move away!

After leaving school, I studied Health & Social Care, knowing that I wanted a career helping people. This included a placement in a nursery, which I loved, and I’ve not looked back since!
For ten years, I worked my way up in a local nursery to be their Deputy Manager. I was also working with children aged 3-16 in a Women’s Refuge Project (now RISE). In 2007, I joined Young Sussex as Deputy Manager and was promoted to Nursery Manager in early 2012.
As a manager, I enjoy being on the frontline and having that initial and lasting contact with parents. As a parent of two children who also attended Young Sussex, I feel I can relate to parents starting at the nursery, empathise with their situation and help them throughout their child’s time at nursery.
