I wish I had known about this nursery for my oldest child! As I currently have my 3yr old (for the past 2 years) I can't praise the staff enough. From management, key people and every single person working there.
As it is a smaller setting the kids get the luxury of more "one to one" time, and you
feel staff like family as they really know your child and see them grow.
The team goes the extra mile to find out about each childs family, celebrate multicultural celebrations such as 'namedays' which is important for the family, to make everyone feel included.when we noticed our child stammering and having difficulty speaking the team immediately jumped to support him/us by putting him on a SEND plan and providing weekly progress updates.Turnover is very low which is very important for kids and parents, but what I am really impressed by is that everyone working there has specialized education in specific topics that covers all needs that a child could have. You leave your kid with family!

Fantastic staff- very communicative. Really care about my son. Lots of wonderful activities. The parents all feel like one big family. The staff move rooms a lot which is a sign that management are promoting their professional development. The staff are really good at getting all my sons clothes and
shoes back to us at the end of the day. The menu seems pretty good and most staff are able to tell me how well my son has eaten. I love this nursery.

We have had the best experience with the library at Hove village. The toddler and pre-school rooms have both been amazing and my daughter has really enjoyed her time there. We moved from a different nursery where she used to hate going and since the move, she has literally loved everyday and skips
down the path from the gate every morning. When we pick her up she can't wait to tell us about all she has learnt that day and the exciting things they have been doing. From trips to the train station, local nursing home and the museum and of course popping up to the library upstairs, they have a great time. Her learning has been amazing there and I am sure that she is going to be so prepared to move onto school despite being the youngest in the year. I can't sing the praises of the staff at Hove village library enough! They are just amazing and to kind and caring. They also show genuine interest and care for my child! Excellent setting!!

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.

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.

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.
