Hassocks Day Nursery is a delightful rural day nursery nestled in the charming village of Hassocks, just a stone's throw away from the South Downs Garden Centre. This wonderful nursery boasts a spacious garden with breathtaking views of the iconic Jack and Jill windmills, creating an inspiring backdrop for outdoor play and exploration in the large well equipped garden.

Inside, the well-equipped environments are designed to spark curiosity and creativity, inviting children to immerse themselves in a diverse array of engaging activities. The little ones enjoy special classes led by outside providers, including Bendy Bubs Yoga, Music with Mike, Phonics with Robot Reg, and Pro Tot Sports, ensuring that every day is filled with fun and learning.

At the heart of this nurturing setting is a dedicated team of experienced and qualified Educators, passionately committed to the care and education of each child. They strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every child can thrive.

Conveniently accessible for families, the nursery offers plenty of parking, making drop-off and pick-up a breeze. For the older nursery children, exciting trips to local farms are part of the adventure, thanks to the nursery's partnership with Burgess Hill Girls School, which provides mini bus transportation and skilled drivers.

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son always looks forward to nursery and has the best time. There are multiple classes and the staff always make the effort to make up activities daily. They spend as much time as they can out in the garden which is great for their development. Always a pleasure to pick my son up at the end of the
day from the garden.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been at Hassocks Day Nursery since it opened in Sept 2024, in fact we were at the nursery under the old owners. We have been so impressed with the changes and the professionalism of this new company. It seems the team are happy and they are fantastic! Our children get to enjoy a range of classes
like yoga, phonics, music and dance. The garden is fantastic and gets used every day for long periods of time. Our children love going to nursery it can be hard to get them to leave.

Hassocks Day Nursery and Preschool is a really special place. We've seen our son flourish here. The staff get to know the children quickly, foster their interests, and I'm amazed at how strong the bonds are that he has formed. The staff come up with such wonderful and creative activities for the children,
alongside the many peripatetic classes that come to the nursery each week.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.680)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.680) out of 10 for Hassocks Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.792 for Hassocks Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.792
  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 3.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hassocks Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 39 number of registered child places is 7.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.513
  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.
