We're so grateful for the amazing care our son receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly, nurturing and create a warm, home-like atmosphere that helps him feel secure and happy. We've noticed the strong bonds the staff have built with him; it's clear they genuinely care about his...
One of the standout features for us has been the staff's willingness to use signing to support his communication skills, which aligns with what we do at home and has made a real difference in helping him express his needs and connect with others in his setting and at home.
Communication between home and the nursery is excellent, with regular updates and quick responses to any questions or concerns we have. We feel fully supported and highly recommend this wonderful nursery to other parents!

Our boy absolutely loves going to Elan - he's excited to walk in, and always comes away tired but happy. The staff are caring and friendly and always make sure to communicate effectively in person and via the app. They always treat the children as individuals and get to know them really well. We trust them to have our child's best interest in mind at all times. The nursery is well organised, and the facilities are recently refurbished and excellent. Many of the leadership team have worked in other roles in the nursery, and have a brilliant overview of how the nursery works best. The variety of activities and food provided is really wonderful. I'd recommend Elan to anyone.

Elan has been fantastic for my son. He loves it there. It has recently been renovated and the facilities are great. The staff are nurturing and kind, and really skilled in supporting the children's development. The managers are lovely and approachable. My son loves all the activities they do, from playing in the sandpit, running around the large studio room and going out to the park or to spot the trains at the nearby station. On that note, it is very helpful it is so close to the station for parents commuting by train.
Thank you for your review of Elan Day Nursery. We are glad that you like the upgrades and facilities - we are committed to providing an environment that is safe and conducive to optimal learning opportunities for each child! Thank you for your wonderful feedback, we love a train station adventure too!
Our child is incredibly happy at Elan, is excited to go to nursery and loves talking about his day at nursery, which is incredibly reassuring. His development is wonderful to watch and he has a fantastic relationship with the staff at the nursery. We couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for you review of Elan Day Nursery. We are so glad to hear that your child is excited to come to nursery and that he talks about it often - it sure helps give peace of mind to you as a parent when leaving him in our care! Thank you for your feedback - the team will be so pleased to hear it!
Ever since my daughter joined Elan, she has only thrived in the environment. She loves going in and has built really strong relationships with all the staff. They have great activities and the space is lovely. I wouldn't send her anywhere else. Looking forward to her joining preschool this year!

The staff are excellent and work really hard to make sure my daughter is happy at the setting. Whilst the outside space isn't very big the children go on regular outings and make use of the studio space. Looking forward to seeing how the renovations improve the overall day-to-day for staff and the children. My daughter runs into nursery every morning and is very happy playing with all the friends she has made.

There is a variety of development activities for them each day and regular trips out to the park, shops or to see the trains. Our son has forged strong bonds both with staff and other children in his room and loves to see his friends each day.
There is a lovely atmosphere at the nursery. The staff are fantastic, they’re friendly, communicative and very knowledgable. There is no doubt how much they care for the children in their setting - one of the main reasons our child settled in so well.
We couldn’t recommend Elan enough.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Children enjoy a warm, welcoming and inclusive nursery environment provided by a supportive team who take the time to get to know them, their interests and their individual needs.
Great atmosphere for the little ones. My son comes home every day tired and with a smile on his face. I am happy with the staff at Elan Day Nursery, who always give feedback of my son’s day including nap times, activities and meals.

He runs in the door on his nursery days and is always excited to be going in. He is a very cheeky energetic boy and often needs to ‘be exercised’, this is always facilitated so that he can burn off his energy! They seem to offer very individualised care which I think is so important.
Most importantly he is an extremely loving, gentle little soul and he loves to be around other children and adults- he’s now at nursery more days than he is at home with us. He does four days now, so we have to give all the staff as much credit for what a lovely person he is.
We can’t thank them enough for nurturing him in the way they have. Nothing makes leaving your child in someone else’s care feel easier than seeing how comfortable and loved they seem to feel when they are with them.
Thank you for this lovely review. It really is appreciated. I am delighted that your son is enjoying and benefiting from coming to our nursery. I know that everyone in the team brings a combination of genuine affection for the children and their incredibly hard work to ensure that all the children in our care have the best possible start.
My experience of Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath has been fantastic from the start. My child has additional needs and all staff have been patient and caring. Thank you!

Thank you for your fab review. Your daughter has a great time with us and likewise, we have a great time with her, she's very entertaining!
I have a son of 20 months. He started to nursery 6 months ago. I have been living here for 1 year and my English is not good. The manager patiently took care of me when I went to get information. She helped me. A very warm and friendly team. I am also very pleased with the development of my son.

Thank you, we did well translating with our tablets that day, I'm so pleased it helped. Delighted your little one is having a nice time, it's a pleasure having him in our toddler room. Best wishes.
My son started nursery two months ago and I was really pleased with the induction weeks. The staff really took the time to make sure he settled in and now he is doing really well with the supportive environment.

I was so grateful for the kind, warm and welcoming experience I had in getting my daughter started at Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath. I was lucky enough to be able to go in and meet the staff who would be looking after her and see where she would be spending her days, which was very comforting. Within a few months of going to Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath my daughter had picked up so many wonderful skills that I know are down to her going there. The staff always seem happy to be working there which is reassuring. They are brilliant at keeping the children entertained with various activities and make a point of taking the children out for a daily walk which is fantastic. They have also kept on top of things with regards to the pandemic and have a good system in place. In the months that were plagued with pandemic uncertainties, my daughter has been fortunate to have had the constant of going to a great nursery, where she is very happy, settled and enjoys socialising with the children and staff.

Our little boy absolutely loves Elan Preschool - Haywards Heath, all of the staff are amazing, warm, welcoming and hugely generous with their time. They always take time to share stories of the funny things that my son gets up to each day. We were previously at a nursery in London and since joining Elan Preschool - Haywards Heath have seen a significant leap in my sons learning. He loves writing his name, recognizing letters and singing the phonics song. The variety of activities are brilliant, with the staff making every effort to take the kids out on trips or spend time in the garden. I couldn’t speak more highly of Elan Preschool - Haywards Heath and would recommend to everyone!
My son started Elan Preschool - Haywards Heath in 2018 as an explorer and now he is in preschool. Very friendly and caring staff. He is so happy every day in the morning to go to preschool. Very positive attitude. I can't complain for anything. Highly recommended.
