Review from Jamil H (Father of Child) published on 2 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We're so happy with our daughter's experience at the Nursery School, we can see how she's thriving there. The staff are really good, great vibes with both kids and parents and genuinely care.
The level of service, the food, the education and the daily activities for the kids are clearly very good and
much appreciated.
We love seeing pics of our child engaging in the activity that day and these are practically worth the fee alone, they're so precious to us since we're not there.
Thanks to everyone looking after our daughter, we value your work so much!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our daughter has joined this nursery, she has grown and developed far beyond expectations. The setting is wonderful, the rooms are inviting, clean and full of enriching activities. The nursery also ensure regular trips out in the mini bus and the food is yummy!
The team are exceptional, everyone
we have spoken to has been lovely, known our daughter, and taken care to ensure the best outcomes for her and all her fellow class mates. One of the staff in particular has been absolutely amazing and has far exceeded our expectations. Although everyone in the rooms have been amazing! They regularly plan fun and enriching activities, that have helped our daughter develop and grow as a person, whilst also preparing her to take the next steps into school.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery!

Review from Rhiannon M (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Like any parent, I was so nervous about sending my son to nursery. I went through all the emotions and had looked at others in the local area. Once I viewed The Little Nursery School, my mind was immediately put at rest. It's like buying a house, when you know you just know.
They understand my son
so well and when we talk about him, it's like talking to family who takes a keen interest and love for him.
The facilities are fantastic as are all the enrichment activities that they do on a daily basis.
I love getting updates as to what he has been doing and can get quite jealous sometimes when I'm at work and he is having a spa day and delicious homemade meals.
I absolutely love the nursery and it's wonderful staff

My daughter joined this nursery in December and we couldn't be happier. She has settled in really smoothly and is all smiles at drop off and pick up. The staff are fantastic. We've appreciated the attention and care - they have really got to know my daughter, tailoring the activities and play to encourage
her development and participation. We highly recommend them!

Review from Pam S (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started in March and struggled to settle initially as he had been with a child minder previously. Three staff members in particular were so caring and supportive, they regularly kept in touch to let me know he was ok and there was always an abundance of cuddles waiting for him. Two other staff
members greeted us with huge smiles and warmth each day and he races in there now. They are so imaginative and do something different every day (the beach, pizza making and football are firm faves!). I honestly can't rate this nursery enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started with The Nursery School Company in Brighton in mid-October. I was so impressed with the team, welcome and overall calm venue. I had visited a few of their open mornings and also did a tour. My daughter has been so happy since she started there, she is always smiling and happy when
she is there. I was so happy to be able to find a place where I felt completely comfortable leaving her there. The team are so lovely on drop-offs and pick-ups and I love the updates I get throughout her time there. I really cannot recommend them enough.

Review from Tara V (Mother of Child) published on 15 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been blown away by everything this nursery has to offer. From the daily enrichment activities (Music with Mike, Diddie Dance, Yoga, the list goes on!) to the nutritious amazing meals they are served - I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The facilities are equally gorgeous with beautifully
thought out rooms for each age group as well as their very own sensory play room! I also love that they take the children out into the local community with trips to farms, parks, libraries etc as well as the Forest School.
But on top of all of this, what makes this nursery feel so special to me is the staff and the care and attention they pay to nurturing the children. The focus on their development and keeping parents updated on their progress is hugely appreciated.
I have also attended a couple of parents-only socials where we can get to know the staff better and I feel very connected to the people who are looking after my child which is a really lovely thing.
Thank you for everything!

Review from Etienne R (Father of Child) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery - highly recommend it! The facilities are excellent - such lovely spaces, both indoors and outdoors. Our children settled in very quickly with the help of their dedicated staff and they are so excited to go to nursery. They love outings on the minibus, especially visits to the beach!
They also get to do Forest School sessions, music and sensory sessions, yoga and baking. We receive loads of feedback on the app as well as photos and updates throughout the day. We knew when we walked in that this was the place for our children - giving them the best opportunity to learn and grow in a caring, nurturing environment.

We are absolutely delighted with the care our son receives at this nursery. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a safe and loving space where our son thrives every day.
The activities are engaging and thoughtfully designed to promote both learning and fun. We have noticed significant
growth in our son's development, both socially and academically, thanks to the dedicated and passionate team.
Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved in our son's experiences. The genuine care and concern for each child's well-being is evident, and we are grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our son to grow and learn.
Thank you to everyone at The Nursery School Brighton for providing such exceptional care and a loving environment. We couldn't be happier!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.611)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.611) out of 10 for The Nursery School Brighton 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 4.6 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 5.000 for The Nursery School Brighton is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 132 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 4.611 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nursery School Brighton 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.611
  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.
