Elan Day Nursery, Haywards Heath

We are extremely happy with this nursery and the care our son receives. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely caring, which gives us great peace of mind every day. He has settled in so well and always comes home happy, having learned something new. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, and the communication with parents is excellent. We truly feel this nursery has played a big role in our son's development and confidence. Highly recommended.

Elan Day Nursery has definitely restored my faith in nurseries!

The staff are great and are very approachable and understanding. My girls have great relationships with the staff and are always happy going in.

I would highly recommend Elan Day nursery!

Our 2 yo started Elan when she was 19 months. Elan has been very supportive and responsive and now she really loves it there. I only wish they went outside slightly more during the winter months! Otherwise all has been amazing.

Elan is such an amazing nursery and the staff are incredible. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and it's always a struggle to get her to leave! The staff clearly care very much about the children and are so thoughtful with letting us know how they are getting on. The activities they do are educational and from the photos the kids are always having so much fun. Would highly recommend this nursery and we're so glad we are able to send our daughter here.

Elan has been absolutely brilliant for our daughter. She loves going there and always comes home happy. The staff really get to know the children in their care and create a wide range of fun and engaging activities. We love seeing the daily pictures of what our daughter has been doing and they go above and beyond to make sure the day is filled with lots of fun for them. Would highly reccomend!

Staff are all lovely and genuinely care. Quick replies and regular updates through the day so you can always see your child is happy and having a good time. Communication when something happens (ie temperatures or unwell while at nursery) is always quick and thorough. My daughter has had a couple of minor health issues recently and all staff have gone above and beyond to keep an extra eye on her symptoms and report back. Feel very safe leaving her in their care and she loves attending.

My toddler has been going to Elan since January 2024 when he was one years old and is having a wonderful nursery experience.

*Staff are attentive and professional, taking a genuine interest in the children and their personalities and needs.

*The facilities are very modern and clean following a successful refurbishment. There are an abundance of role play and development activities/toys available and they utilise the studio for dedicated physical and educational activities.

*Outdoor space is constantly utilised at Elan throughout the seasons with their own: enclosed and functional garden; park visits; visits to the supermarket; and visits to watch the trains which my toddler adores!

*The educational and nutritional programmes at Elan are fantastic and children are engaged positively in a fun, consistent, learning environment.

*Communications are made regularly and questions are answered promptly.

*I would highly recommend Elan based on our positive experience.

Everyone at Elan is so friendly and kind, they do such a wonderful job of looking after my daughter. She's so happy to go there every time and I feel very confident dropping her off knowing she'll have a fun day and be well cared for. The activities are great and the updates and observations on the app are such a lovely way of staying connected. Thank you everyone!

A very well-managed and caring environment. Our son is thriving at Elan and we couldn't be happier at the care and attention all aspects of his learning and development receive. Outside clubs offering sports and yoga within the nursery day add so much to the variety of the activities.

The staff there are always so kind and understanding, and you get a feeling of them really caring for your child. They truly go out of their way to make you feel calm even in the most difficult circumstances (I can think of two in my case). Truly happy we picked this nursery.

Thank you!

The team are super personal with my child and greet him each day with a big smile and check in. They send regular updates of what he's been doing and he always looks happy and like he's having fun. Would recommend.

Our child has been at Elan since they were 10 months old and is now 3.5 years. She has always been very happy and settled, and excited to go in. The staff are all very welcoming and nurturing. Sometimes the communication or organisation isn't 100% but overall it's good and the management team do their best. Overall for us how happy our child is and the progress they have made here is what counts and is most important.

Elan has been a fantastic nursery for our son. The staff are knowledgeable, know our child well and take the time to chat through his development. He has a great time there with a variety of learning experiences and it's great that the team make such an effort to keep us informed. I would definitely recommend Elan to other parents.

Our daughter has been attending Elan for nearly 6 months and she absolutely loves it. She came from a childminders and all the staff made her transition to a busier preschool environment really easy. We can see she's come on leaps and bounds in terms of her confidence since attending the preschool and often surprises us with things she's learnt! Overall we are really happy with her whole experience.

My child started Elan Preschool in January and absolutely loves it. The day is jam packed full of activities and it's lovely to have at least daily updates on the app of what they've been doing. The staff are excellent. Very warm and friendly and mostly importantly, very engaging with the children. My daughter doesn't notice I'm there when I come to collect her she's so engrossed in what's going on! It's lovely to see!

Both my children have been through Elan Nursery and Pre-School and it has been wonderful to see how well cared for and loved they are in each setting. The staff go above and beyond for them, know them really well and every time I go to pick them up they are engrossed playing with friends or doing some creative or exciting activity or other. There is nowhere else I would send them.

My son has been with Elan since he was 10 months old. He is now almost 4 and has absolutely thrived there. He has SENCO needs and the nursery has been with us every step of the way recognising our child's needs and partnering with us to agree and implement strategies that really help him. A special shout-out to three ladies who have been brilliant.

My little one has been attending Elan nursery for the last 3 years from the age of 6 months, and we have received great care and nurturing from the staff at the Haywards Heath location. Absolutely grateful to have such a fantastic facility in the vicinity.

Elan is a really great environment for children. The staff are really attentive and spend time getting to know each child and telling you about their day. My little boy has really developed since being here. His confidence has grown and he has a lovely little group of friends who all support each other. He spends a lot of time playing outdoors and is always really excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up.
