Home by the Sea are the most fantastic team. I have sent all three of my daughters there, and my children have been beautifully cared for.
Friendly, warm, affectionate, flexible, respectful and wonderful!
Cannot recommend them enough!

My daughter has enjoyed her first real experience of Christmas with lots of fun activities planned throughout the month. Using sing a long to songs I have noted an increase in confidence and vocabulary.
The recent open day was once again wonderful chance to spend time with the staff and other
parents, exploring the environment that she learns in and of course meeting santa!

Home by the Sea has offered a wonderfully warm, friendly, safe and supportive environment for our child to thrive in. The large garden is fantastic and the staff are always so friendly and attentive. We trust that our child will be well looked after and safe.

Our experience with the nursery has been overall excellent, the staff is very caring and supportive, there's always very good communication from the nursery and they've been really helpful with a toddler that had just never spent time with anyone else other than mum. They are so sweet and I can't
highlight enough how grateful we are to be able to fully trust each and every single one of them - especially in times like this.

All three of my children have attended home by the sea nursery and have thrived there! The staff are such an asset to the nursery, they really take the time to get to know all the children, find out (and remember!) their likes and dislikes and give them the best possible nursery experience.

Such a fantastic experience with Home by the Sea. There is so much warmth and love at this nursery from all the staff and the general vibe of the whole place. The nursey is small and personal and our pre-schooler has gained so much confidence, skills and lovely friendships setting him up really well
for school. A massive Thankyou from us.

We love Home by the sea. My child is so happy and settled. All the team is amazing, every each one of staff taking extra care. The environment is stunning and well planned for all the children to have great opportunities of learning and exploring.

My son has been attending the nursery for 18 months having come from another nursery where we didn't have a great experience. What a difference! Home by the sea is so friendly, open and homely. All the staff are wonderful and it has been joyous to watch my son grow at the nursery. My son will be
going to school in September and we will really miss home by the sea and everybody there.

My little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 13 months old, and I honestly can't fault them. They truly provide a home-from-home experience. All the staff are wonderful, especially Aimee she been amazing. I couldn't recommend them more highly

Our little girl joined the nursery at 13 months old and has had a brilliant time in both the toddler unit and pre-school. The staff are all fantastic, they really care about the children and go out of their way to keep them engaged and happy. We love the size of the nursery, it's busy enough to feel
full of energy but not so large your child is lost in the mix. The garden is massive with lots going on - this was a big selling point for us in Hove. They've recently introduced even more for the kids including new equipment, forest and beach school sessions. We're so happy we chose Home By The Sea to help our toddler grow into a happy and independent little girl.

Both our children have come through Home by the sea and have flourished in their care. The staff are really nurturing and open, and my youngest skips in every day.
My eldest left entirely ready to continue her learning journey at school, and my youngest is going to be truly prepared when she starts
in September.
Thank you to the staff at Home by the Sea.

Our daughter has been at Home by The Sea Day Nursery & Pre-school for 2 and a half years. Starting in the toddler room and is now in preschool. We have had a wonderful experience from the start. The staff are all so warm and welcoming and have nurtured and looked after her so well from baby to
pre-schooler. She loves going in and talks about her day in the whole way home. From activities and reading during group time to lots of fun outside in huge garden, making mud pies and playing on the apparatus. She also loves the snack bar! Highly recommend to any parents considering Home by The Sea for their little one.

We couldn't be happier with the care that Home by the Sea gives our little boy. He's been settled there since he was 18 months old and has transitioned beautifully through their toddler room into the bigger pre school floor. We love the free flow approach to using the garden, which was always such a
big bonus for us. The younger children also have a chance to mix with the older ones which is so nice for both groups.
Staff wise, they are all absolutely lovely and the level of care shown is second to none. Anytime we've had an issue with separation anxiety, food, potty training etc, they've been really keen to work together to support our little boy which makes it feel like we're a team. It's so reassuring to be able to leave our little boy knowing he's thriving being in such good hands. Home by the Sea was recommended to us by a friend and we're so happy they did.

I couldn't have made a better decision to send my daughter to Home by the Sea. All the staff members are so warm and seem to know her so well, always commenting on her progress and funny anecdotes about what she has been up to each day. The activities they do with toddlers are so creative, often
involving messy play and I loved they recently invited two hospital workers to come and talk to the children and let them engage with the medical equipment. The garden is massive and I particularly appreciate recent efforts to involve parents in the work of the nursery, including through fun Christmas parties and introducing a story time for parents to lead with the children. I would welcome any further efforts to increase networking opportunities within the parent community.

Our child attends the nursery and loves the time she spends there. The staff are kind, supportive, responsible and most of all fun and engaging.
She loves the craft activities and muddy play in the garden the most. It's particularly helpful for us that the nursery is offering breakfast to all
children from 8.30 am.
