31 January 2026
I'd like to celebrate how happy we are as parents sending our child to Hove Village at Hove Library. We have experience of two other nurseries for our older child as we lived in a different area, Hove Village has far surpassed our experience anywhere else.
Our child is confident and happy going
into nursery, the team create a welcoming and nurturing environment for them each day.
There are always lots of opportunities for new learning experiences.
Our child has become much more independent since starting at nursery. The team have been excellent in talking about big feelings and discussing how to express how we feel to each other and how to manage that when feeling upset.
We really enjoy the regular updates on the family app to see what our child has been up to, including observations and assessments, which are always linked into the EYFS.
Overall we have been delighted with the nursery and they have provided a nurturing, caring and stimulating environment for our child.

My first child has been at Hove library for two years and seeing how happy she is around all the educators and how her confidence has grown over the time meant we were excited for our youngest to start this year. Since her first settle session she has had so much fun and we feel so comfortable
dropping her off each morning. She is so calm and happy at drop off regardless of which educator opens the door, I feel this is a great testament to how safe and nurturing they make the nursery environment for the children.

We absolutely love Hove Village at the library. We have been going there since 2022. My eldest was there from age 1 until starting school and my youngest started last year age 10 months.
Both kids love it there.
It's a real safe and nurturing environment for the kids and you can tell the staff
really care and make the children feel loved.
Cannot recommend it enough.

Cannot fault the Hove village library nursery. Our son has been attending since he could barely sit up and he absolutely loves it!
We have full confidence that he is safe and his developmental and educational needs are being met.
The activities are always fun and varied and he is always happy to
go! The team are exceptional. 10/10

We cannot fault it. We've been with the nursery since 2022 and have another in the Baby Room now too and we have never had anything but amazing things to say. The staff are all so lovely, our daughter's both love it and the peace of mind is worth it's weight in gold. The fact that it's all
inclusive, the kids go on outings and have different activities throughout the week, like yoga and ballet, is fantastic. I know all the parent joke that the kids eat better in nursery than they do at home. So many updates on Family too, which is nice to see. You truly feel how much the staff love all the kids, which is reciprocated. I am so grateful to them, we got so lucky.

Our daughter has spent over a year at Hove Village and has had a wonderful time.
We've felt comfortable from the first day, communication is excellent, the staff is caring, and most importantly, our daughter is excited to go in every day!
24 June 2024
We've had 2 children in the nursery, both from 6 months. One is about to go to school and another is staying on.
The kids have absolutely loved their time at the nursery and we've had a great experience with the staff at every stage. We've found there to be so many lovely activities and science
experiments and, with it being a smaller nursery, there's been a lovely group of close friends for the kids.
The food has been amazing! It really helped at the weaning stage and we always get good ideas for healthy meals for them via the nursery app.
We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

My child has been with the Hove Library team for eight months now, and she has excellent relationships with her educators. She is very clearly happy coming to nursery and looks forward to seeing everyone. They allow the children to lead and show their interests that the staff try to develop and
nurture. The communication from her educators and the management is brilliant and very clear. In my opinion, the only thing that lets the nursery down is the small outdoor space, however I appreciate this is hard to come by in central Hove!
22 February 2024
I cannot recommend Hove library nursery enough. My son really enjoys going into nursery which makes leaving him for work each day that much easier. All the staff are wonderful, the care and encouragement my son receives is very noticeable from all staff members not just those in his room. The
updates during the day on the app keep me in the loop at all times which makes me feel closer to him while we are apart. It is wonderful to see him playing and learning. The food looks great also, he definitely eats more at nursery and I don't blame him!
21 February 2024
My child has grown so much since attending this nursery, they have so much fun and their development has blossomed in all areas has been a joy to watch as a parent! The staff are so kind and caring toward the children and I feel like this nursery was such a perfect match for our child!
21 February 2024
This nursery has been an essential part of our lives as we moved to the area from overseas. Our kids are excited to go every day. The teachers are amazing and the communication is incredible. The parents are also amazing! We love it here.
21 February 2024
I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else!
After trying a few nurseries and not being happy, my daughter started at Hove Village Library and I couldn’t recommend it more. She absolutely loved her time at nursery, and they made the transition from nursery to school effortless. Due to this, when it
was time for my son to start at nursery I didn’t consider anywhere else.
The staff are professional, yet so caring with the children. The food the children get has been rated to a high standard and the children also get to experience trips during their day.
Thank you Hove Village for all you’ve done and continue to do for the children!
21 February 2024
Attentive, caring staff. Our child has settled so well.
We love how many activities he gets to do. Communication is brilliant.
Great food options. A friendly atmosphere.
Our child comes home happy and clean.
The best out of the three nurseries, he has been to.
21 February 2024
This is a wonderful nursery, the staff are so kind and caring! I feel so confident dropping my little one off in the morning! My eldest also went here before starting school and she had all the tools she needed to thrive. The management are not just responsive to enquiries, they are part of the
day-to-day fabric of the nursery and the children adore them. If you are looking for a caring environment that will be super attentive to your child and celebrate their little self, this is the nursery for you!
21 February 2024
Excellent childcare and education facility; staff know all the children; communication of updates, illnesses, and learning progress are all quick, frequent and efficient via the app. The local library setting itself is perfect for a small group of children and is cosy, welcoming and very
well-equipped with toys, games, crafts, and educational tools. Our little one loves being there, and going on the weekly trips out to the nearby library, museum, and beach, and is clearly attached to his care team which speaks volumes to their skill and care.
21 February 2024
We couldn’t be happier with Hove Village Nursery! The staff are all incredibly caring, warm, friendly and knowledgeable about early years and child development. The activities are always child-centred and we’ve loved watching our little one blossom since starting. The meals they have access to have
a great variety and the regular trips and extra activities (yoga) are so amazing too. She loves it and so do we!
21 February 2024
My son really enjoys nursery, he thrives there, always learning something new, making friends, trying new foods, and coming home with a smile. As parents, it’s important we feel safe in the knowledge that our children are being cared for and nurtured by educators. And of that we are sure! The staff
are attentive, reassuring, kind and helpful. The nursery is like a home from home, and will be sad to see him leave come September!
I would definitely recommend this nursery setting to anyone ready to send their child to the nursery.
04 September 2023
Our son has enjoyed his time at Hove Village Nursery enormously over the last couple of years. The care, attention, and encouragement he's received from all members of staff has been palpable and is greatly appreciated. The overall culture and environment within is excellent; you can sense that the
members of staff take a genuine interest in each child as an individual and cater for their specific needs as they develop.
The feedback on how our son is contributing to the group dynamics, what he's enjoyed participating in, what he's perhaps been struggling with, and what he's been up to day-to-day are great, as have the regular updates via the app are fantastic (I'm especially jealous of the food he gets to enjoy!) and seeing the photos of him enjoying playing and learning with his friends.
The staff have worked really hard to help prepare him for the transition to full-time school next month so he goes in full of confidence, again which we're hugely grateful for. Thank you!
