Overall Experience
Our son loves going in to school. All the staff are very friendly and supportive of my sons own pace to adapt to nursery (initially) and transition to other room.

We're very happy to have chosen this nursery.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear your son enjoys attending and has been well supported at his own pace, especially during his initial settling in and room transitions. It is wonderful to know you feel happy with your choice and your comments mean a great deal to us.

Review from Jack D (Father of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been going to Bright Horizons Hove for just over a year now and we could not be happier with our choice of nursery.
Every day she comes home with a smile on her face, talking about the fun activities she did with her friends and the staff. There's always something different everyday and the variety keeps her engaged.
The staff are the most caring and wonderful people, and it clearly reflects on our daughter as she talks fondly about them. They always talk about how her day went at pickup time and show great interest and care in all the children. A huge shoutout to the Sunshine room, who have such a fantastic relationship with her.
We really enjoy the observations that come through on the app so my partner and I can see the enriching activities they get up to at nursery.

The management from Marissa and Becca is top quality and we can't thank them enough for creating a wonderful nursery. We highly recommend sending your child here!

Review from R F (Father of Child) published on 30 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Bright Horizons. Our son started when he was just 9 months old and is now nearly two, and he absolutely loves going in every week.

He attends three days a week and is always so excited to go which says everything. It's such a reassuring feeling as a parent knowing he's happy, settled, and genuinely enjoys his time there.

All of the staff are incredible, so warm, welcoming, and caring. They've taken the time to really get to know him as an individual, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about all the children. From day one, they made both him and us feel completely comfortable.

The environment itself is brilliant, it's safe, nurturing, and full of engaging activities that have really supported his development. We've seen such a positive difference in his confidence and social skills since starting.

We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other parents.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear how happy your son is and how much he enjoys his time with us. It is lovely to know you feel reassured by our care and that he is growing in confidence and social skills. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us.

Review from Tom T (Father of Child) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After considering our options in Hove, we attended an open day event at Bright Horizons and were really impressed. We felt it was clearly the right choice for our 7 month old baby to attend.

Since he has started at the nursery we have felt even more validated with our decision. Our little boy is happy, exploring and forming amazing bonds with both his key workers and the other babies in his room. It is clear that he is loved and extremely looked after.

We receive 3 monthly reports (sometimes more) going into amazing detail about his activities and how much he is growing in a loved environment.

As for most parents security was our highest priority when choosing a nursery and it is such a relief of mind knowing how secure and looked after he is.

If you want a loving, safe nursery with amazing staff then I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Hove enough.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear how happy your son is and that you feel confident in your choice. It's wonderful to know he's building strong bonds and that you feel reassured by our care and security.

Review from M C (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been with Bright Horizons Hove since November.
From the start we felt like it was the right place. Our son has several health issues which they have helped us with amazingly, and we have always felt like he is in a safe pair of hands.
You really feel like the staff care about the babies they're looking after, and that they really get to know them and their personalities.

We picked it because of its amazing outside space, but we truly love it because of the people.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear your son has settled in so well since November and that you've felt supported, especially with his health needs. It means a great deal to know you feel he's safe and truly cared for.

Overall Experience

Our son started nursery last summer, and he has been a big fan ever since. The staff has been incredibly supportive of his individual preferences and helped him become a confident, happy young man. He's gained a lot of skills, learned to participate in social situations and he's genuinly enjoying his days at Bright Horizons.

Review from Sanna C (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We absolutely love Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and couldn't be happier with the care our son receives! From the moment we walk through the door, it's clear that every member of staff genuinely cares about our child and his wellbeing.

The team create a nurturing environment where our son thrives. They're constantly organising creative activities that keep him engaged and excited to learn. The facilities are excellent and provide the perfect space for children to explore, play and develop.

A special mention to chef Dimitrios and the amazing food cooked fresh in-house (wish he would create his own cookbook!). It's lovely knowing our son is eating nutritious, delicious meals throughout the day.

Marissa, Becca and the management team have been incredibly supportive, truly taking the time to understand each child's individual needs and create a personalised approach.

We feel so fortunate to have found such a special nursery and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Reply from Sarah Walker, Web Editor at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Review from Ezgi S (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are incredibly grateful for Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery. After a difficult experience at another nursery when we first moved to the UK, finding this team was truly a blessing.
Marisa is an outstanding manager-everything is organised to a very high standard, and her leadership creates a welcoming and supportive environment. Our daughter, who is naturally sensitive and was adjusting to a new country and language, was beautifully supported by her key person, Elnaz. She created a safe, caring space where our daughter quickly gained confidence and even learned English in a short time. She now goes to nursery each day with excitement.
We would also like to thank Daisy, Tia, Jack, Kennedy, Julia, and all the staff for their kindness and professionalism. We are equally grateful for the delicious meals (thank you, Dimitri!), excellent cleanliness, strong safeguarding, and enriching activities.

Choosing Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery was absolutely the right decision for our family!

We couldn't be happier with Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery! The building is stunning, and the garden is absolutely wonderful. The team is exceptional, warm, professional, and incredibly trustworthy. Our daughter has flourished here over the years, making wonderful memories and enjoying every moment. The care and thoughtfulness that go into the activities are truly impressive. We have nothing but praise for the nursery as it consistently exceeds our expectations. A huge thank you to three members of staff, in particular, and the managers for creating such a fantastic experience for both our daughter and us as parents!

Review from James M (Father of Child) published on 13 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. The experience begins and ends with a well-designed and executed drop-off and pick-up that help the children transition through enforced boundaries.
The staff are universally friendly and helpful and all are invested in making the nursery welcoming for the children.
Our daughter goes in happily every day, looking forward to playing with both peers and carers. This was not our experience elsewhere.
We had a well-managed settling-in period that helped our daughter settle, whilst not dragging it out too long.
We have regular catch-ups with our key carer. Each time, their observations have been valuable and accurate. They have used these and our own observations to design a care plan that focuses on the aspects needed. They demonstrated how they apply these plans in productive, yet playful ways. The results we've seen have been great. Our girl has grown in confidence and ability greatly while attending.

Mainly, she enjoys going here.

Reply from Amanda Barlow, The Parent Team at Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is happy, confident and thriving with us. It's wonderful to know the settling-in process, care plan and our team's support have made such a positive impact.

Really happy we chose Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool! We had a really bad experience in another nursery so I was very reserved at first but the team and management have been amazing and very supportive to both myself and my son throughout his first few weeks of adaptation. Would highly recommend!

I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough! My daughter is starting school in September and just had her nursery graduation party, all of the staff went above and beyond to make the day special for the children! Lots of different activities, a picnic, the staff had created different play stations and a whole graduation ceremony which was so lovely! Also, little gifts for when we left the party were such a lovely touch! My daughter has loved attending the nursery & has grown in confidence massively since she first started! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to family & friends!

Overall Experience
I just want to leave some well-earned feedback for Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool. We've changed our son's nursery twice due to relocating and we are so happy he's now with Bright Horizons in Hove. He's so happy at the nursery and is thriving after only a few weeks since joining.
The team have been amazing - I particularly want to call out the deputy manager and my son's key person, they've been brilliant - we receive daily feedback and updates from them via the app - learning what the group have been doing - the lovely food they've been eating. My son wakes up in the morning raring to go to nursery which makes me so happy.
Really enjoyed the recent parents evening which was full of helpful tips for parenting.

Thank you to all of the team!

Bright Horizons Nursery is such a lovely place, with caring, loving and super friendly staff. My daughter loves everyone, especially her key worker and has built amazing relationships with other staff members which she speaks about regularly at home. They have helped her so much on her little journey and I can really see their hard work through my daughter's improvement while at the nursery, she even asks to go to the nursery on the weekends. The next generation of my family will 100% be attending Bright Horizons seeing as they did such an amazing job!

Review from Agata P (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended the nursery for over six months and she enjoys every day she spends there. We've changed nurseries a lot and this is the most friendly place, with very competent, supportive, and flexible management.

The staff regularly propose new activities for the kids and celebrate a variety of different occasions. Older kids regularly visit a local care home, which is such a unique experience for both sides. Kids have a lot of space to play outside and the nursery has its own chef. My daughter has made a lot of friends there and as a parent, I feel very comfortable knowing she's well taken care of.

Marisa Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2012
Marisa

After completing my level 3 qualification in childcare at college in 2011 I knew I wanted to begin my career working in a nursery, I was lucky enough to be offered a job at Supersaurus nursery in 2012. I started working in the baby room where I grew in my role and was offered a Room Leader role in 2014 which I proudly accepted. I worked very closely with all families in helping support their children with their development and grew very close relationships.

In 2015 I was then offered the Deputy Manager role at Supersaurus and this taught me a lot about leadership and how to run a nursery in operations. In 2017 I went travelling around South East Asia, Indonesia and Australia for 4 months, I learnt so much from having this once-in-a-lifetime experience and made memories that would last a lifetime! When I returned back to the UK I went to work in our sister nurseries as a Deputy Manager and was promoted Manager in 2018.

I was then offered to complete my level 2 in Leadership and Management and doing this helped broaden my knowledge in leading a team. I have been Manager at Supersaurus Nursery since August 2021 and I thoroughly enjoyed being back at the nursery where I started this journey, coming into work every day to see all of our lovely children really makes my day that much better!

Charli Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2015
Charli

In 2012 I attended the University of Brighton where I completed a BA (Hons) Education undergraduate degree where I discovered my passion for child development within the early year's sector. I was fortunate enough to have been granted the opportunity to work for Supersaurus in 2015 once graduated and spent my time undertaking further study by completing an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare to enable me to support the children to the best of my ability.

I was promoted to Deputy Nursery Manager in 2017 and engaged in an exciting opportunity to complete my Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) at the University of Brighton whilst supporting the sister nurseries in both East and West Sussex. I genuinely feel that I am confident within my professional role to use the knowledge I have acquired in my own educational journey to broaden the children’s experiences by providing the staff with the open opportunity to create awe and wonder each and every day with the children!

I really do love the journey a child takes here at our nursery when starting in our baby room and making their way through until they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to enter school life with confidence. It is always such a proud moment knowing they are prepared for the next stage of their life.
