Review from Louise C (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son attended from eleven months - four years and left when it was time to start school. During this time, there was never a single occasion where I felt concerned about anything. Every member of the care staff was exceptionally good at their jobs and were always cheerful and positive and enthusiastic about their work. The nursery is also very well managed and communication with parents is very good. My son has also been very well prepared for the learning and skills needed for school. The nursery has helped him to develop confidence and social skills and he just had a really happy time there. I am grateful to the nursery for giving him valuable experience.

Review from Diane N (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Lovely, enthusiastic staff and lots of varied activities to keep the kids engaged. A kind, nurturing environment - one happy child! Young Sussex is a great nursery and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her three years there. Not only did she make lots of friends and positive memories, all the important life skills she learnt are now helping her make the transition into her first year at school and the big, wide world in general.
Additionally, as a freelancer, the management team were very supportive and flexible to our ever-changing requirements which was incredibly helpful.
In a nutshell :
Is it a fun, friendly place for little children? Yes
Do I miss the output from baking sessions? Yes (mostly, bar the pumpkin pies)

Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

Review from Alice H (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children attended Young Sussex from nine months old, to when they were four years old and always skipped in each day with happy faces. The staff are all very caring and really get to know each child as individuals. The nursery itself offers a lot for the children including yoga, music lessons, cooking and forest school, all included in the price. It is a safe, clean environment and on the rare occasion when a problem arose the staff dealt with it quickly and professionally. Now that my children have left my lasting impression of the nursery is one of the excellent care, attention and professionalism the whole staff gave towards my children. I have no reservations in recommending this nursery.

Overall Experience

Young Sussex Nursery have provided excellent support for our family in the transition of our daughter starting nursery. The staff genuinely provide a high level of care for the children and develop a keen understanding of their needs. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys all her time at nursery and her key worker is flexible and works hard to support her development.

When my daughter started with tasters the staff were very good and she was very happy. When she started school she has been very happy to come in and I feel very at ease to leave her. I am very happy with the staff and the nursery.

Review from Penny P (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been with the nursery for 9 months. She is very happy and has settled in really well. The Senior Nursery Practitioner always gives me honest feedback about how she is getting on. My daughter's Grandpa is battling cancer so I've been worried about her emotional well-being, however the nursery fully supported this news and I've felt secure that my daughter has a safe, happy place to come to. She seems to get on well with all the children and is learning quickly.

My son loves attending nursery. The staff are dedicated and caring and seem to truly care about my son and his development. He seems to be entertained for the entire day and is given plenty of opportunities to play outside which is very important to me.

Review from Panagiota X (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter had a very good time at Young Sussex Nursery at Dyke Road.
She made friends and was looked after by her main carer and the other carers very well. It was
nice to see a lot of photos and a few videos posted in Tapestry!
My daughter enjoyed the yoga classes, playing in the lovely outdoors area, doing lots of drawings and
crafts.
My daughter also enjoyed visiting the ladies at the office on her way out of the nursery and chatting with them!
It is sad that my daughter has to leave Young Sussex nursery but it's time to move on.

All of our best wishes to Young Sussex staff.

Overall Experience
This is a wonderful nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming and my daughter has thrived in the three months she has attended.
She adores her key worker and talks about her all the time at home. All the staff seem to genuinely enjoy their job and give us thorough updates at the end of the day.

The nursery is clean and well managed with lots of facilities including a large garden. I would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience
I was so sad to be going back to work when my baby boy was 10 months but I was totally reassured by the wonderfully kind and attentive staff.
My son has thrived and has learnt so many things that I couldn't even consider showing him, like painting with black paint! Yikes!
He is always happy, clean and very loved.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. It truly has made going back to work a breeze!

Thank you Young Sussex

Overall Experience
We are extremely happy about the care/education and service provided by Young Sussex for our daughter. She thrives at the nursery. She enjoys the days she spends with the staff and other users of the nursery and her personal skill development has been enhanced by the activities provided.
We are given daily updates from hours slept/food eaten/activities which provide us with a comprehensive summary of what she had done - leaving us confident in the staff.

Our daughter has a great relationship with her key person whom she adores.

We love Dyke Road Young Sussex. Our daughter has settled in really well, she adores her key worker and looks forward to going every time which is fabulous. Her learning, speech, social skills and general understanding have come on leaps and bounds since joining. She has made so many friends and talks about them all the time at home which is lovely.

Daniela Rae
Daniela RaeJob Title:Nursery ManagerJoined: 2007

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.
