Bright Horizons Grove Lodge Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool

My son (now 8) and daughter (now 4 and just leaving for school), both attended Grove Lodge. The setting is fantastic, with a large outdoor play area (which they are just updating), and various areas for messy-play and role play, etc...

Both our children grew in confidence whilst attending the nursery and that is definitely down to the amazing team they have working there. A few of the team have looked after both of our children and developed really close bonds with them & are still talked about by both of them today.

The staff team at Grove Lodge are some of the most kind and caring children's workers you could meet. Their dedication to learning and development is first class, and we have felt supported with both of our children attending. They provide a wonderfull environment for children to grow, learning about themselves, others and the world.

Really organised, caring , supportive nursery. My twins attended for 3 years and settled in so well. They foster a family feel and are so invested in all the children. They prepared our boys so well for primary they have just sailed in to reception without any issues. Thank you everyone at Grove lodge!

As she begins preschool here, we're confident her learning journey will flourish. The facilities are excellent - always clean, welcoming, and full of opportunities to discover. She comes home happy and excited every day, and we couldn't be happier!

Our daughter just graduated from Grove Lodge, after attending for the past 3.5 years. This was the only nursery we wanted, and this was solely down to the staff and the environment we could see they create for the children. The staff are fantastic and are incredibly involved with the children. They truly know each and every child so well and they find fun and creative ways to teach and engage the children - our daughter's developed absolutely sky rocketed after she started and she was constantly amazing us with new things she'd come home and tell us she learned. We couldn't be more grateful for Grove Lodge's impact on our daughter's early years and for creating a space where we knew she was always safe, cared for and well fed with yummy and nutritious food! They did a great job at prepping the children and parents for school. As sad as we are to leave the setting and the wonderful staff, they have helped us to feel fully prepared and ready for the next stage of our daughter's life.

Our son started at Grove Lodge in April 2025 after moving from a different nursery and it was honestly the best decision we ever made. He settled in so quickly and all of the staff are absolutely wonderful, so down-to- earth, friendly and caring! :) Our son always comes home full of life with a big smile, which says it all and it's lovely to see. We can really see his progress since starting here and all of the staff encourage this through brilliant activities. The meaning of each activity is always explained and the app updates are fantastic. It's so comforting to know that he is safe and being looked after so well, also learning what he's up to throughout the day with photos/videos is always a joy to see. The food menu looks delicious, so healthy with such a great variety - our son mostly always has "all" next to what he's eaten! You can really tell how much the staff care about what they do and we are so grateful to them for making our son's nursery experience a happy/great one! :)

My son started at Grove Lodge September 2024 and immediately settled in really well. The environment was lovely and I always felt really well updated throughout the day, I was very anxious about him starting but the team constantly put me at ease. Unfortunately he had to have some time off of nursery due to numerous hospital visits (due to his extreme prematurity and lung issues) and in such a stressful time the staff were all kind, understanding and patient with us for updates. When we restarted nursery in April, he recognised the staff and settled back in well. He loves all the activities the staff set up, the food all seems really healthy and a good variety. I cannot recommend the nursery enough, with no negatives to share! We are so grateful to have found Grove Lodge and look forward to watching our son grow with their curriculum.

I couldn't be happier with my son's nursery experience. Since he started, he's come on in absolute leaps and bounds - developing new skills, growing in confidence, and showing so much joy every single day. It's such a comfort as a parent to know he's not only safe, but thriving. Two members of staff in particular have been simply fantastic. Their care, enthusiasm, and dedication shine through in everything they do. It's clear how much they truly care about the children, and the bond they've formed with my son is just heartwarming. Every morning he goes in with a huge smile, and every evening he comes home full of stories (babbling thus far) excitement. That smile says it all - he's happy, engaged, and loved. I'm so grateful for the nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment they've created. Thank you for helping him grow into such a happy, confident little boy. I can't praise the two staff members and the whole team highly enough!

Five stars. My child's thriving. The toilets are a hit. We're all winning.

Thank you for everything you do!

The site itself feels really homely and the class size isn't too big or overwhelming so I'm confident he gets good quality time with staff.

Thank you Grove Lodge Bright Horizons nursery team for creating such a wonderful place for our little ones!

Grove lodge is a great nursery. The staff there are very attentive and you can tell they care about your child. My son learns at lot when at nursery which shows the teaching and learning facilities for the children are great

I highly recommend Bright Horizons Grove Lodge Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool to all parents. Once your child is there, trust the safe hands. The staff is amazing, so caring. Onboarding was very smooth. They did consider about the health care plan and acted on it immediately, which I haven't seen in any nursery before. My 11 months old settled very quickly and she is very happy at daycare. We could feel it at the pickups.Special thanks to three members of staff, in particular, for all the support..

Communication is really good too via use of the app and everyday interactions. Highly recommend.

We have been unbelievably thrilled with Grove Lodge as a nursery. The staff are super caring and efficient. Our little boy loves going in every morning and he always has so much fun. The management are approachable and organised, always responding in a professional and swift manner. All the staff in the baby room are kind and it is so obvious they care for each child in their charge. Thank you so much!

They have helped to settle our little one so quickly and he is so happy to go in and explore.

We cannot fault any staff at Grove Lodge. They really have gone over and above for our little boy who has hearing loss! They have been willing to ensure that his and our needs are met to the optimum level. They are warm, kind and friendly and I feel reassured when I go to work! Our little boy loves going to nursery!

The staff at Bright Horizons Grove Lodge are thoughtful, kind and engaging, my daughter is settled, happy and her development is considered through play and social activities. Communication via the app is good and is accessible to get news and a view of the nursery day-to-day.

This nursery is perfect in all areas. They clearly care about the children's welfare and have structured, varied days that help develop the children's social and wider educational skills. They also have a variety of healthy meals that are cooked on-site, which is a great added benefit.
