Burgess Hill Nursery

This is by far the best nursery in Burgess Hill. My son struggled at his previous nursery but here staff made him feel so welcomed, got to know him quickly and helped to settle him straight away. I can't thank them enough, he has learnt so much in the short time he was there and made such lovely friendships. I only wish I had started him sooner. The nursery offers a range of activities and has so much outdoor equipment and space, he absolutely loved it. Sports day was a real highlight watching the children have fun together as a team and staff really encouraging and helping them all to be and feel their best whatever their ability. At the end of every day when we picked our son up we would always get a full update on his day and what he had eaten for lunch. He has finished nursery a very happy boy and well set up to start school.

Burgess Hill nursery goes above and beyond when it comes to a nurturing, educational and supportive environment. We sent both kids here after trial and error with other settings closer to home. In short, we wish we had sent both kids here for their entire kindergarten/ preschool experience. Without a doubt, it is by far the best nursery setting in this area. The staff are incredible. The environment is nurturing and educationally stimulating. The setting is clean and provides a supportive environment for fussy eaters, toilet training, good hygiene, good behaviour, nurturing strong friendships and more. There are too many positives to write about. We love the educational stimulus, the focus on early years learning, play and relationship building. Our children have become happy and content communicators for being in this setting and have developed the resilience, self regulation and independence required for starting reception year. In our view, it is an outstanding nursery.

We feel Burgess Hill Nursery has really helped our daughter to grow and develop. They really promote independence and skills to gain confidence, along with other skills to ensure the transition to school is as seamless as possible. Thank you.

We've had an exceptional experience at BHG nursery. The nursery grounds are beautiful and the nursery kids enjoy them fully. The staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and attentive, and truly know each child as an individual. They go above and beyond to tailor activities and support children's growth in confidence, independence and social skills. Our daughter built real friendships and truly thrived. The team also got to know us as parents and supported us as our family grew, helping prepare our daughter for her little brother. They've felt like an extended family - always generous with their time at drop-off and pick-up. The year was filled with joyful, hands-on learning: hatching ducklings, watching butterflies emerge, seasonal events, and lovely outdoor adventures. They also laid a great foundation in phonics and name writing. We feel so lucky for the nurturing, enriching start our daughter received and couldn't recommend the nursery more highly.

My son is currently at Burgess Hill Girls Nursery. I have two older children so have experienced a couple of other nurseries in the Burgess Hill area and I can say without hesitation that this is by far the best. The staff are kind, communicative, experienced, reassuring, energetic, caring and enthusiastic. Because of them it has a lovely atmosphere and my son enjoys going. The nursery is purpose built. The rooms are large with a wide range of toys/activities and the children have easy access to the outside all weathers. The staff also take them on little adventures around the school grounds. He settled very quickly after joining and has been very happy there since.

I can't speak highly enough about Burgess Hill Nursery. My son is incredibly happy at the setting and thriving. The staff are wonderful (very experienced, warm and professional). The setting has a very consistent team in terms of permanent staff and bank staff. This has been brilliant in terms of my son building relationships and also getting consistent support for his development and confidence. The facilities are beyond anything I have seen locally at other settings. We are really happy with the variation of activities (it's very child lead which we like), encouragement of independence and care for the kids. Highly recommend.

An outstanding nursery with a warm, nurturing feel, beautiful grounds, great facilities, caring staff, healthy children's meals, fun activities and a brilliant emphasis on learning through play. I can't speak highly enough of this nursery - both my children have been so happy at Burgess Hill Nursery and have made lovely friends. The staff are just wonderful too. We will be very sad to leave when it's time for big school!

My younger child started at Burgess Hill Girls Nursery in early September 2024, following in the footsteps of her big sister who spent 2 happy years in the nursery from 2019. I have been amazed and surprised by how quickly my younger child settled into the nursery, which was largely down to the wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly and caring staff. The grounds of the school and the nursery playground are amazing outdoor resources which the nursery children explore daily, come rain or shine.

Food is very nutritious so I don't need to worry about packing their food. If they don't like any particular food, teachers give them other food as well.

I would thoroughly recommend to parents as a great choice for their children.

It's very well known to be one of the best in the area.

Our daughter had an absolutely brilliant time at the nursery and it's been amazing to see her grow through her experiences. The setting is lovely, within the gated school grounds with plenty of safe outdoor space that was used for nature walks and other activities. The events (sports day, Christmas show etc.) were very well put together, again making use of the school facilities, like the theatre and school field. But above all, the staff were amazing. It feels unfair to call out individuals as they are all great but one nursery practitioner was absolutely fantastic and really built a connection with our daughter and another nursery practitioner’s energy is unbelievable - her energy was contagious for me as an adult so I can only imagine how it is for the children! The nursery manager was warm and welcoming to both children and parents and tenacious when resolving an issue we had with tax free childcare - we really felt supported. All the staff were fantastic and they work very well as a team.

Our daughter has loved her time there and I hear the food is pretty good too!

I am very happy for my 3 children to get admission to Burgess Hill Girls Nursery. They are excellent, compared to any nursery in the area. I have taken my older child to another nursery before coming to Burgess Hill Girls and I had a very bad experience with them. So I proudly say Burgess Hill is the very best one in my experience. Teachers are very kind and their teaching method is of very high standard. Huge thanks to all the team at Burgess Hill Girls.

The nursery staff at Burgess Hill are brilliant and so kind with the children at the nursery, including my daughter. They are committed to encouraging the children to learn through play and communication with others, with a good sense of community and support. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the nursery and it has given her huge confidence and enjoyment in learning. I highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been coming to Burgess Hill Nursery for only a short time but within that time she has made so much progress. The team are fantastic and our daughter speaks very highly of everyone (and children are the hardest critics to please).

We have been so pleased to see her language development over the months. They are learning lots of things about real life and so on. Also, we can see her activities on Tapestry journal which is amazing. Very glad to meet the staff, they are so much help, chatting about her days when I drop off and pick up her.

Couldn't be happier with Burgess Hill Nursery. Our daughter has thrived under the care of the team here. The nursery benefits from fantastic facilities across the school site, allowing the children to explore and learn. The staff are consistently excellent, taking time at handovers to understand key messages and convey details of the day's activities. Very active use of Tapestry means we get loads of pictures and insights into the day. Teaching staff, management, and admin have all been brilliant, and the nursery has overall done amazingly keeping operating effectively throughout covid. Highly recommended.

We switched to Burgess Hill Nursery mid-way through 2021 after poor experiences with other local nurseries and haven't looked back (we wish we had enrolled her sooner!). We highly recommend them to all our friends and strangers we meet for both boys and girls. So go and get a tour and check it out for your child too!

My daughter attended the nursery and will be joining the main school this September. We have been so pleased to see her develop and flourish over the past year and are continually amazed at the breadth of extra learning experiences the nursery has provided her from watching frogs develop in the classroom tank, to releasing butterfly’s and growing little plants to take home. Her growing interest in numbers and letters has been accelerated by the fun environment cultivated by the teaching staff, with weekly prompts to learn a new phonic and find a corresponding item at home that matches the sound. As parents, we felt very kept up to date with what she was learning through access to online Tapestry journal and could build on that with chat at home. I felt staff make time to chat at pick up/drop off handover if you have any issues and that was a credit to them in this pandemic where class access had to be limited. Most days our daughter has literally skipped up the path to go into the nursery!
