Review from Neil L (Father of Child) published on 25 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Bright Horizons since he was 9 months old and is now in his final 6 months before school. His journey through the age groups has really helped his development and the bonds he has made with the carers at each stage have been truly wonderful to observe. It really feels like a family to him. I am very satisfied with the care he receives and the online platform gives us as parents the instant connection we need to stay on top of events, communication with the staff and of course, all the photos of the lovely activities and learning that goes on. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Overall Experience
We are thankful to Bright Horizons for the journey our son embarked on in August 2023.
We were impressed by the prompt and accommodating email responses and the app which does include all the daily activities. Satisfied with the staff as they follow our baby's dietary requirements and support our beliefs.
He has formed strong connections with all the staff and they all are very accommodating.

It’s truly heartwarming to witness my son’s physical, emotional, and communication development flourishing at Bright Horizons and also looking forward to more exiting experiences. Thank you for welcoming us into your nurturing environment.

Review from Rearna A (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bright Horizons Hove continues to be a wonderful, caring and supportive environment for our son. The staff are so nurturing and it's been so lovely for us to have tailored advice and support for our son during his time there. For each milestone, the team have been incredibly hands-on, helping and supporting him in understanding his emotions as well as supporting him with his language and communication skills and more recently potty training! We feel a very strong connection with all staff at the nursery and know they have our son's best interests at heart. They always listen to our wishes and we work with them to ensure we are mirroring and supporting the same practices at home. Our son has formed some amazing bonds and connections with other children as well as the staff and this has helped him grow and develop enormously.

The facilities at the nursery are great and we love coming into the space to see what new and exciting activities and offerings they have for the children.

Review from Mairead O (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been part of Bright Horizons Hove since September 2023, and I cannot express how wonderful an experience she has had since joining. All the baby room team have welcomed her and us into the fold and made us all feel part of their family. The Bright Horizons Hove team are exceptional at what they do, there is simply no other way to describe it. They provide such reassuring feedback via the app promptly so I can understand my daughter’s day, they actively engage the kids in activities to promote their development and provide a caring environment for them to prosper. Our daughter runs to nursery every day, and it is clear that she loves it so much. To say it is a comfort when leaving her is an understatement, the Bright Horizons Hove team have become her extended family and that is way more than I could ever have hoped for in choosing my child’s care.

Review from Z P (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our two little boys attend this nursery in the babies room and the three's room. We have been nothing but happy with the staff and the setting. They both very quickly settled in and the face-to-face feedback at the end of each day is thorough as is the online updates. I am always excited to hear of all the wonderful activities they have been participating in. I can see them both developing well emotionally and physically. I am particularly happy with the outdoor space they can play in, the food catered for on-site, the key worker's authentic enthusiasm and the managers who are kind and caring which cascades down to all the staff. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nursery in the area.

Overall Experience
I am the father of a child that attends Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool and I couldn’t be happier with the service.
My child loves the activities program and loves the staff, especially his key person. Being bi-lingual he required some special attention and management have been diligent in getting him the right support and some simple actions we can use at home to support him.

All in all, a great service, with great staff that definitely is trying their best to increase/maintain their excellent standards

Review from S G (Father of Child) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little one's been coming here for about a year now (since she was basically 1) and, most importantly, she loves it. She loves the staff, she likes the food, she does loads of great activities, and we're very happy about that.

It helps that we also have a great feeling about the nursery and team - we feel she's in a safe, secure and nurturing environment every day, having fun, learning, socialising and making some proper friendships.

A great start to our daughter's experience of schooling, and so much more than 'day care'. We're happy we chose this nursery (we still prefer the old name).

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 1. Staff are lovely and attentive. Most recently, they organised a visit to a care home which is wonderful for intergenerational learning. My daughter came back that day very excited, feeling super independent and talking so much to everyone about the experience she had.

Overall Experience

Absolutely love Supersaurus - the manager of the nursery and her right-hand deputy manager are just so lovely, always listening to your needs and surrounded by a great staff of energetic and caring young women. Our son absolutely loved going to babies and then to 2’ - transition was very smooth. Kids are doing plenty of activities and are stimulated a lot. On top, the staff are really caring and loving to them, having a very personal approach and providing you regular feedback through the app or verbally. Very, very satisfied with this.

Review from Miriam R (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bright Horizons, Hove Day Nursery has been such a blessing to us. Our daughter was 13 months old when she started at the nursery last year. My husband and I have no family nearby, so it was a big deal to hand her over to someone else's care 3 days a week. She has always been quite a timid little girl, so we wondered how she'd settle in. She's now 21 months old and has totally flourished since being at the nursery. She's grown in confidence socially and physically, made lovely bonds with the staff, and 99.9% of the time goes to and from nursery a very happy girl. They do such a great range of creative indoor and outdoor activities with them. The staff are caring and friendly and I'm impressed by how involved the management are with knowing children's names and personalities and the many parents that drop-off and collect. I'd certainly highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

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.
