My daughter had been attending since she was 2 and has always loved it! The staff are always friendly and communicate well, especially during the pandemic. My daughter loves the outdoor playing as well as all the craft activities they do. Would definitely recommend!

Dear Susie, thanks for telling us about your daughter's nursery experience; great to hear she loves our amazing outdoor space (we love it too)!
I only have praise for the staff at the nursery! My daughter had joined when she turned one, she's now 21 months old and she's so excited every morning to see her little friends there! Staff have always been on board with my routines for her, I am aware of all her development thanks to their...
Settling sessions have been great and I felt confident for her to be there all day straight away! The staff really cares about the children which reflects so well on the kids. My daughter reached so many milestones whilst there and the team are so encouraging with loads of praises, creating a lovely and warm environment. I am confident she is in good hands whenever I drop her off in the morning.
In terms of activities and learning, there is so much for them to do. The outdoor space is also a massive plus.
Your comments really do mean a lot to us and I can't wait to share them with the team.
My son is now 3 years 5 months, I booked nursery last year but because of corona I don’t send him. My son started 2 months ago. Really lovely staff members. Good behaviour with parents also. Have gardens also so the kids play outside and in the big room. I highly recommend you send your children.

Dear Gouranga, thank you for writing this review - my team will be very happy to learn of your feedback and that your son is enjoying his time at the nursery.
Staff always friendly, my daughter loves the food and it’s cooked on site which is nice. Always a nice range of activities to do and updates regularly on how my child has done.

Thanks, Nicola, your comments do mean a lot to us. I am so pleased to hear we are getting it right for you - the team will be chuffed also.

My little girl has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old now at 18 months she loves it. She runs in each day so excited to go. She always comes out chatting away and happy. She has loved being with her friends at nursery and playing with all the toys. She has really progressed since being there. She has now suddenly started doing the actions to certain songs at home that she has remembered from nursery. She eats well there with a wide range of foods prepared on-site which was important to me and the team are very accommodating should I have any requests. After lockdown, she had no problem settling back in she was so excited to be there with her friends. The team are brilliant with her.
Hi Vicki, thank you for such a positive review. I am so pleased to hear your daughter loves the nursery, as will our team of amazing practitioners. I think the team are brilliant also, but hearing from one of our valued parents is the best.
A Step Ahead Lancing has been a great nursery for our son. We had to move him from a nursery in Brighton and it was a big change for him. He is now in Bumblebee and the staff are fantastic! We always get a great handover at the end of the day and they let me know of the funny things he has done....

Many thanks for your review. So pleased to know we settled your son into the nursery after his move. The team will be thrilled to hear your comments.
Both of my children have loved being part of this nursery. The fees are great for the resources they have. The staff are all really supportive, friendly, professional, smiley and very polite. My son is always greeted with a warm welcoming smile and friendly face.

Thank you for entrusting your children with our wonderful team at the nursery, I am so pleased to hear you are happy with us. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

My 2-year-old son attends this nursery twice a week (started at 9-months-old), he absolutely loves going, and it has really made a difference with all his learning and life skills. My eldest son, now 5, started at 1-year-old, and stayed until school age, he absolutely loved it too and made some of his best friends there which he now has in his school class. The colleagues communicate well and help support all our requirements. It’s in an ideal location for me, and I feel relaxed leaving my boy in their hands.
It is fantastic to hear that both your sons love the nursery, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Social interactions are a big part of a child's early years and we are all delighted to know your eldest son has continued his friendships. Our amazing practitioners work hard to encourage child social engagement; they will be thrilled to hear your comments.

Our son loves going to nursery. The staff are very friendly and give good feedback every day. He’s in the 2-3 room and his key worker does lots of fun learning activities with him like learning about caterpillars and other bugs. He enjoys the varied food. Going to nursery has helped to develop his language and social interaction with other children. It’s a very down to earth friendly place. They’ve taken COVID seriously and protected the children well.
COVID has changed the way we work now and the team have adopted our stay safe policies so well - thank you for giving us this valuable feedback.
The staff at A Step Ahead are amazing! The nursery manager made the whole settling in process easy and comfortable for the both of us.

The 2-3 room has lots of things on offer and I always get to see my son's milestones through Iconnect. My son is always so happy when I collect and the hand over is very detailed. Keep up the good work girls you all do such an amazing job!!
