  • Cumnor Nursery, Haywards Heath
Woven into the fabric of the school, the multi-award-winning Nursery is a truly special place, made up of three classes – the Bees (age 2), Caterpillars (ages 2-3) and Butterflies (pre-school). Cumnor is the only independent school in Sussex that can offer flexible childcare from 7am to 7pm, 50 weeks of the year, for children aged 2-4. The setting also offers both term-time only and full-time places and up to 30 hours of early years funding.

The environment is second to none. The purpose-built Nursery has direct access to dedicated outdoor space and the wider school grounds beyond, with sweeping views across the South Downs. Flooded with natural light, the Nursery provides a truly wonderful, bespoke space for exploration, creation and discovery through play, without limits.

The staff are highly trained, passionate and experienced, committed to providing the highest standards of care and education in a welcoming, homely atmosphere. They understand and celebrate the unique qualities in every child and go above and beyond to ensure Nursery is an enjoyable and positive experience for all of them.

The team at Cumnor Nursery believes they have created something quite special, so do please visit the setting. The team would love to show you the wonderful premises, and the kind of nursery experience you and your child could enjoy.

Review from Emma S (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is a fantastic environment for children. It is warm, welcoming and fun. Both my 2-year-old and 4-year-old love it and have grown and developed as a result. It has great facilities and wonderful staff. The staff have gone the extra mile for my 4-year-old who has special dietary requirements
and helped make sure that he does not feel left out in any way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has recently started at Cumnor House Nursery and I could not have wished for a better start. She absolutely loves it, the staff have been so welcoming and she looks forward to going. She has already brought home cookery delights made at nursery which she was so excited about! It was definitely
the right choice for her and us and I would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is not only an idyllic setting but the care of the children attending is exceptional. We had been to two other settings but the staff here go above and beyond our expectations. Our child is happy, growing in confidence & independence. She simply loves each and everyday.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Cumnor Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.985 for Cumnor Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.985
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cumnor Nursery is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
