Treehoppers Forest Kindergarten, Haywards Heath

Treehoppers has been such an amazing experience for my both of my children. We had been using Treehoppers since 2020 and the quality of learning and support for the children has been brilliant. It has given my children great skills not only for mobility, physical play but also using nature for play and learning that you would get at a conventional nursery setting. So glad that we attending Treehoppers and can not recommend them enough.

What a place. Our daughter had the best time here and has made friends for a lifetime (as have we!). The experiences the child get to have - climbing trees, making food on fires, building dens, planting and managing a veg patch... plus a whole lot more! We will miss this alot as she's now going to school. We'll be back for the summer camps :)

The facilities are brilliant and the staff even more so. What a magical place to spend a childhood!

Absolutely incredible, couldn’t ask for a better place to send my daughter! She loves being outside and always comes out with a smile on her face, they’ve got great space and brilliant people who have a great time with the kids and really care about them. (Low cleanliness rating because everything comes back covered in mud and sand but that’s a good thing in my opinion!).

We have been impressed by Treehoppers from the get-go. Our daughter settled in well, supported by staff, who are highly qualified and professional and radiate genuine warmth and care for every child. Our daughter asked all through the Christmas holidays when she could go back to Treehoppers! I’ve been an Early Years teacher for over a decade and feel that something really special happens at Treehoppers; it is the most truly child-centred setting I’ve ever seen. I’ve talked about it so positively that two of my friends are now sending their sons to Treehoppers. We can’t wait to send our second child! Whole-heartedly recommend!

Tree Hoppers Forest School stands out not only for its exceptional learning approach but also for the warmth and dedication of its staff. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we were greeted with kindness and professionalism. The staff's genuine care for each child's well-being is evident in their interactions and the nurturing environment they cultivate. I have complete trust in the staff at Tree Hoppers and feel reassured knowing that my daughter is in capable hands. Their dedication to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching experience further solidifies my confidence in their program. I wholeheartedly endorse Tree Hoppers Forest School for families seeking an educational setting where professionalism, care, and quality learning thrive.

Our son attends the Borde Hill Treehoppers. The team are truly fantastic. They very obviously care about the children and what they do, the vibe is positive, warm and full of energy. Our son has been very nervous and the team have been really supportive, taking time to talk to us and think of ideas about how to help him for which we have been really grateful. The gatherings for families, gardening days and open invitations to certain things like a recent police visit really make you feel part of a community too. This is a group of very special people and I have the utmost trust in their care.

My little one always comes out with a smile & covered in grime often with a lovely craft project.

I can’t recommend TreeHoppers enough. My son loves going there and he has grown in confidence so much in the last year. The teachers and volunteers are so amazing and it is really nurturing. I feel jealous hearing about what they’ve eaten around the campfire on a cold day! Communication is brilliant and I feel like my child is valued there. It’s so reassuring to drop him off with people I can trust and that he loves.

Treehoppers is such a welcoming place for children, no matter their individual needs and personalities. The staff are highly trained and are so caring, fun, energetic and attuned to each child and their own unique circumstances. You can tell that they enjoy working at Treehoppers as much as the children love going. The activities the children do are so varied each week and are brilliant at developing different skill sets, as well as the children's understanding of the world. The communication with parents is fantastic too.

Treehoppers is absolutely incredible - my son is so happy here and is learning many things I wouldn't be able to or would even think to teach him, such as how to be safe and cook things on an open fire, types of birds and all sorts of nature things. He has really strong relationships with all the adults there, who all seem to know him and value him for something within himself. I was nervous before he started about how he would cope being outside 8 am-4 pm over winter especially, but the right kit means he is fine and is thriving, even encouraging our family outside more at home. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter attended Treehoppers from the age of 3 and my son now goes to Treehoppers three days a week. Both children have thrived and thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Treehoppers Forest School is quite honestly an absolute gem of a setting. The staff are all incredible. The games and activities they create have so much imagination and teach the children many valuable skills in the early years. It's a magical place. I would highly recommend them.

Treehoppers is everything I could wish for in a preschool/nursery setting. The teachers foster the children’s interests through exploratory play whilst learning life skills and the wonders of nature. The outdoor setting further allows for independent outside play in the fresh air. Additional professionals also attend Treehoppers regularly such as the fire brigade and police for example so the children are exposed to the world around us. I would highly recommend this setting as somewhere to send your child.

Treehoppers has been an absolutely magical setting for our son for the last 2 and a bit years. The staff are so passionate about what they do, incredibly caring, and forge real friendships with the children. Being outdoors in nature is something that not all children get to experience, but they should. The calibre of the staff is really noticeable from other nurseries we visited. Thank you so much team Treehoppers. We will really miss you, now we are starting school!
