  • 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.

My son runs towards nursery every morning. The children are lovingly nurtured and seem to partake in lots of really fun activities including forest school, swimming, art, cooking as well as learning numbers and letters. Highly recommend!

Cumnor House nursery is superb. The staff are always kind and friendly, where nothing is too much trouble and the range of activities on offer are outstanding. My child has been so happy there and is always excited to go. The facilities are fantastic as the nursery is a new purpose built building, which
is bright, clean and welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been delighted with how my daughter has progressed since starting the nursery. She loves going in every day. The range of activities that are available is fantastic given that they share the main facilities with the school. As well as being able to use the school swimming pool, music barn and
theatre they also have the use of the school grounds to enable long walks and adventures in 'woodpeckers' (the outdoor classroom).
The staff are very caring, knowledgeable and attentive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has gone from strength to strength with exceptional facilities and incredibly dedicated, experienced and kind staff. The opportunities for learning and developing within safe and stimulating surrounds are extensive. As a parent, I have had happy reports from my children and as I have observed
other children interacting with mine, I am constantly impressed with the approach that the staff have with all the children. It is a haven, a playground, a classroom, an adventure.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loved every minute of his time here, and has just left for his first term of reception at Cumnor, a happy and confident child. The teachers were amazing in every way, guiding him to accept boundaries, to share and really building his confidence and friendships with new friends. I believe fore
mostly he felt secure and listened to, therefore he flourished. Our family will always have the utmost gratitude to the fabulous team at Cumnor Nursery.

My son loves coming to this nursery. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. My son is on the go all the time and I couldn’t think of anywhere else that could meet his needs. He comes home so happy and can’t wait to tell me all the amazing things he has done. I would highly recommend this nursery
to anyone.

Review from Alys D (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cumnor has far exceeded my expectations for a nursery for my son. We have used 2 previous nurseries, one in the same area and one in London and Cumnor has thoroughly impressed me and my son with their care and support. On Sundays, we are excited about going to the nursery the next day, which has never
happened before. The amount the children learn even without realising they are learning is fantastic. They have so much to do throughout the day. Our Son's development and behaviour and confidence has moved on leaps and bounds, I couldn't recommend Cumnor enough.

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.

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.

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 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.994 for Cumnor Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.994
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cumnor Nursery is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
