Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Nursery School Company Worthing is an incredible nursery. Our little boy has absolutely thrived since starting there in November 2024. We are delighted with the care he receives and the wide range of activities that are on offer. The food is of high quality too, with excellent, nutritious menu choices.


We have seen a huge leap across all of his skills and his communication has progressed exceptionally well, which in part we feel is due to the efforts of the staff team. We feel our little boy will be so ready for school when the time comes, as the nursery are preparing him across all areas of the curriculum as well as developing his social skills and shared play etc.


I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone and feel it goes above and beyond the standard nursery experience you can expect to receive from other nurseries.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend The Nursery School Worthing, my son started at 22 months and is now in the 'big boy room'. He loves his time at nursery and has made lots of friends. The staff are wonderful, engaging and helpful; this really stood out for me when I visited a few other nurseries in the area -
just how proactive and engaging this nursery is. My son has activities planned every day - from yoga and music through to sports. My daughter has just started in the baby room at 10 months which is a new experience as my son moved here later. The baby room is great - one standout thing for me is the flexibility in approaching my baby's routine, which I think is important when they're so small and naps and feeds are unique to each child - some other nurseries I visited and my son's previous nursery aren't so accommodating. The nursery offers engaging activities but there's lots of calm and love in the baby room, so that the babies aren't overstimulated. Highly recommend this wonderful nursery.

I was so scared to send my 1-year-old to nursery but it has been the best thing. This nursery has in one month allowed my daughter to become more confident, chatty, outgoing and playful. She really does enjoy it and seeing her blossom has been wonderful.
I go to work confident and happy that I know
my little girl is in fantastic and nurturing hands.
I get updates during the day, that always bring a smile to my face.
Her room and the gardens are beautiful and clean and it's just the cutest when they go out in the big push cart.
The range of activities they do are fun and educational. The range of food is great (I wish I could have my meals there).
The staff are so helpful, friendly and reassuring, especially in the first few drop-offs.
My daughter's key worker and other staff in her room are wonderful.
The only thing I need to pack for nursery is spare clothes - everything else is taken care of.
Even if I didn't have to go back to work, I would still send my daughter here.

The Nursery School Company is a wonderful setting that I feel so lucky and fortunate to be able to send my daughter to. We receive very regular updates and photos of what she is up to through the day- she always looks so happy. The staff have all been incredible in not only making my daughter feel relaxed,
but me also. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The fruit bowl in reception is also a very welcome added touch that my daughter loves! My husband and I feel very fortunate to have found The Nursery School, and would reccomend to all our friends and family with young children.

This nursery is excellent, my son has attended for 2 years and we couldn't be happier. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, the nursery is cosy and comfortable, the food is well balanced and the children always have a structured day with learning, art and crafts, dance, music and sports.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care provided at the nursery school. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to make sure all children (and their parents) feel loved, safe and secure. The whole environment is always set up so beautifully and is so inviting and inspiring for the children. The emphasis
placed on language and communication is phenomenal. As parents, we are regularly kept updated on our child's progress and are consulted on their next steps with staff asking what we are working on at home and carefully planning how they can incorporate this into their planning. Communication between the nursery and parents is brilliant we love our daily updates through the app and staff are also always genuinely excited to hear what the children have been doing outside of the nursery. We also love the fact that the children play outside in all weathers and are regularly taken out to explore the local area. The extensive extracurricular activities on offer and the food are also exceptional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited the nursery before it had even opened and were 100% sold on the ethos of the management and warm and welcoming environment being created. Our eldest went to another local nursery and whilst she loved it, we had concerns around staff retention, communication and allergy management. I can wholeheartedly
say that The Nursery School Worthing has exceeded my expectations in all of these areas. Our daughter speaks fondly of her carers and other children, engages well in all the activities and loves the extra enrichment sessions and trips. I am delighted that they expose the children to language learning so early on and now have a 3-year-old that can count to 10 in 3 different languages! The transition from room to room has been fairly seamless and the staff know all of the children well. There is always a senior member of staff on the door who is available to answer questions and they are always responsive on the app. Bonus: the food is amazing!

My daughter has been at The Nursery School for two years and I couldn't have asked for a better start for her. The staff are exceptional and so lovely that she bonded with them instantly, whatever room she was in. The facilities are outstanding and the communication with parents is second to none. She
heads in so happy to see all the staff and excited for what the day will bring. The team go above and beyond to provide exciting and educational activities every day. I couldn't recommend this nursery more!

We absolutely love The Nursery School Worthing. We love dropping our daughter off here knowing she will be safe and nurtured and will have an amazing day. Days out are frequent, activities are daily, and the children get lots of time outside. The food our daughter eats at nursery is top quality and
her dietary needs are catered for. The staff are excellent and they have great resources and she learns a lot. She is progressing fast and we couldn't be happier knowing she is fulfilled and content there.

My daughter started nursery a few months ago at 13 months and wow this was much more than expected from any nursery. The staff are so kind, caring and honest with updates on your child. The activities the children do and the bus pushchair for 6 children is really excellent. My daughter has settled
really easily and waves goodbye to me, which just shows how comforted she feels by the staff there.
The app they use allows you to see the food they have had, nappies and naps. The staff also send photos direct to you of your child and the activities they do, it really is an amazing nursery and I would highly recommend. We have a second due and will be taking him there also.

Our son has been at the Nursery School in Worthing since he turned 1. He is now attending the pre-school setting there, before going off to school next year. We couldn't be happier with the nursery we have chosen and I guess it speaks for itself that our twin girls will be going once they are 1 as well.
It's a beautiful set-up (indoors and outdoors). They have 2 gardens, one for the littlest ones and a bigger shared garden. Incredible with what activities they come up week after week. Very creative and exciting for the children we find. They do many trips to the beach and town etc. Food is 5 star which for us is such a key element for little ones to grow happily and healthily. We find all the staff are very professional- yet it seems a very relaxed and happy environment.

I have been lucky enough to have both my children attend The Nursery School Company. One has now gone to school but the other is still there and has been since he has been 9 months old. No matter which room, the staff are welcoming, engaging and have a genuine passion for their job. The activities are
always to the highest standard, allowing the children freedom of choice and an early love for learning. They offer an enrichment programme where children have access to mini-bus trips, allowing them time to engage with the outdoors which is all included within the fees. The younger children make the most of the outdoors in their 6-seater bus which takes them on local trips to the beach and my son's personal favourite- a coffee shop for babyccinos! Like no other nursery around- would highly recommend.

I truly believe moving my daughter to the Nursery School is the best decision I have made for her. The staff are kind, patient, resourceful and caring, the management is very good and responsive and the activities they include in the fees are amazing. There is a sense of togetherness that I have never
seen before and my girl is thriving. Where she would cling to me at her old place, now she happily runs to get in and start her day. I can only say wonderful things about this nursery and warmly recommend it.

Such a wonderful nursery, the facilities are exceptional with a beautiful uniquely landscaped garden, perfect for the kids and a newly renovated interior with the most incredible equipment and toys. The staff are so friendly and helpful and kind and really knowledgeable and have supported my daughter
so well in her settling in. They plan and organise such fantastic activities for the children and go to the beach almost daily with other enrichment activities too. The in house chef cooks meals that I would order in a restaurant and even teaches the kids recipes too. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The Nursery School go above and beyond any nursery, I have ever seen. All facilities are flawless, the staff are incredible and their efforts are reflected in my daughter's continual growth. It makes my day to see her smiling daily via the parents' app, she is clearly having a wonderful time and being
excellently cared for. There is also an element of prestige with the Nursery School that I have never seen at previous nurseries for both my children. Marvellous and highly recommended.

My daughter started at The Nursery School Company from another local nursery and her development in the last 6 weeks since starting has been astounding. The educators are thoughtful and caring and the activities are exceptional. Her speech has developed leaps and bounds and she has potty trained in
just a few days with such lovely caring and respectful support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so relieved the nursery has opened in Worthing - it has by far exceeded our expectations. We had a bad experience at a well-regarded nursery in the area and were left very anxious about our little boy starting nursery. Luckily, The Nursery School opened right when we needed it to and we are so
happy he managed to start just as it opened as I am sure it will be very busy soon. He is a lockdown baby but he settled in one week, after not settling at all at the previous place. He has trips out, amazing meals cooked on-site, we get fantastic communication throughout the day and best of all they genuinely care about him - he’s not just a number. The nursery itself has an abundance of resources (toys, bespoke garden, innovative play ideas) and his development has come on already. His key person knows him well and he is bonding with all the staff, who are very friendly and professional. Overall we are extremely happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for The Nursery School Worthing 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 5.000 for The Nursery School Worthing is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 5
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nursery School Worthing is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
