Reflections Nursery & Forest School

Our daughter has been attending Reflections since she was 8 months old. In each of the rooms she has transitioned into she has developed amazing bonds with her key workers and always has a wonderful time when she’s there. The learning opportunities she has had since she started would have been impossible to replicate in our home. Food is great. Staff are lovely. The key staff in her room have always been so supportive of us when we have tried to wean her off her dummy and then with toilet training as well. We couldn’t speak more highly of our experience with Reflections.

My daughter has attended Reflections since she was 6 months (now 3.5 years) and she absolutely loves it. She’s always happy to go to nursery and has built really lovely relationships with adults across the nursery (practitioners across every section as well as support staff) and clearly feels safe, valued, and stimulated there. She attends every day and has opportunities to take part in a range of enriching activities, e.g. forest school, beach school, atelier projects, care home visits. Communication with us parents has also been great - we particularly love the video diaries from Forest School and the daily photos! Thank you for playing a key part in supporting her to flourish in her early years.

A wonderful nursery that my two-year-old has attended since he was 10 months old. A beautiful setting with a great outside space and wonderful staff. He is so happy being there and has created a great bond with his carers and friends. He eats healthy home-cooked food and is flourishing. I would highly recommend Reflections.

I went to see a lot of nurseries in Worthing before I chose Reflections. I felt at ease when I got shown around. I loved the huge garden and the building size, which doesn't feel claustrophobic like some other places. The staff are all very warm, loving people who really create special bonds with your child. My daughter still runs over and cuddles her old practitioners. She's been there since the age of 1 and she's nearly 3. The food at the nursery is amazing, and the chef outdoes himself every time. The managers are hardworking and they recognise all the children. They really create a nice culture for the staff who have stayed consistent the whole time she's been there! Staff that stick around says a lot about the nursery and the organisation of it all. The fees at Reflection are expected because of the high standard. If you want to feel relaxed at work and know your child is having fun whilst being loved and cared for, then this is the place for you!

My daughter has been attending Reflections Nursery since June 2023 and we have seen her grow and flourish there. She has developed really close relationships with those who care for her there and some toddler friends too. The staff are always accommodating when I’ve requested changes to my daughter's routine and are friendly and approachable. My daughter's favourite feature is the beautiful garden. I love that she participates in activities such as growing vegetables and baking bread. Thank you.

Very good activities and care were provided for all the kids. One of my kids has been here a few years and will be sending my other when she is old enough!

My child has attended Reflections since she was 18-months and has loved every minute. She has grown in confidence and explored the natural world. We have kept her on in small school, as we didn't want our time with Reflections to end!

Reflections is no ordinary nursery. The quality of care and learning given was made evident when looking for a new nursery, many of whom said they aspired to be like Reflections, with one saying they use their training videos. Reflections go beyond the normal expectations of a nursery, the activities on offer are wide-ranging and varied including resident artists, visiting musicians, large outside natural play areas, chickens, outdoor pizza oven, edible garden, beautiful buildings and forest and beach excursions for the older children. The food on offer was very nutritious and varied. They were also very on the ball with my daughter's nut allergy which meant I didn’t need to worry. My daughter formed strong friendships and really misses the staff, children and beautiful buildings. I really can’t fault Reflections and we have many fond memories of the place. Keep up the good work!

My son started at Reflections in Preschool 2, in September 2018. It took him a long time to adapt to the change in routine, having not attended a nursery before, but the staff were caring and supportive to enable him to settle in, and he came to love it. The extensive variety of activities and stimulus meant he thrived through challenge and this suited his curious nature. He also attended Forest School, a weekly joy of adventure and discovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Reflections - not only does it have amazing outdoor space that the children enjoy daily, but the staff were amazing - we miss them for their care, support, fun and being just lovely. We only left as it was time for school.

She attended Forest school and Beach school which she loved. There are so many things to do.

Both my children love coming to the nursery and would recommend to anybody looking for a nursery.

This nursery was great for both of our children and we are very sad to finally say goodbye as our youngest has now left. We loved the creative approach to educating children, along with their focus on outdoor play and use of natural resources. Both children were hugely stimulated in this environment and have taken experiences which have provided an amazing foundation for school. Don't be put off by that lack of focus on traditional learning, they pick it all up along the way and much, much more!

I cannot talk more highly of Reflections. My son loved his time there. They cared about his happiness and development, stimulated him and kept us well updated about him. He attended both Forest School and Beach School but was just as happy playing in the garden.

My daughter has just left Reflections Nursery to start school after a very happy 2 years there. I could not have asked for a better nursery experience for her before she started school. The creative project-based, child-led activities, forestry school, collecting crab shells at beach school, fresh air, eating homemade soup around an outdoor fire, climbing trees - what more could you want for your child? Plus the staff are fab.
