We moved from another area of the country and therefore had to move nursery for our son - this made me feel anxious but the staff at Young Sussex on Dyke Road made the transition smooth and were very caring. Our son really enjoyed his time at Young Sussex - we had to move him again due change in
living circumstances and he still talks about the "old nursery". The staff were particularly supportive through a new medical diagnosis and engaged in learning about this and how it might affect our son. The timings and flexibility of attendance was also fantastic, especially for our shift work pattern. I would highly recommend Young Sussex.

My son arrived without speaking a word of English and with special dietary requirements (celiac disease). The staff he has been with every day have made him feel more and more comfortable until he has developed his English perfectly to communicate with them. Not a single day has he gone to nursery
feeling sad or worried; he has always told me nice and funny stories about the staff, he has never felt uncomfortable or misunderstood, and for that I will always be very grateful :) I would also like to point out that they have been able to perfectly manage my son's special dietary requirements, taking into account not only gluten-free meals, but also play items that may contain gluten, changing some ingredients to make gluten-free crafts. I am extremely grateful for this. As for me, communication with Daniela and the staff has always been fantastic, very close and accessible, and always willing to help with any circumstances that may arise. For all this, thank you very much!

Our daughter went here for 3 1/2 years and was extremely happy! She also attended another two nurseries so we have a good comparison and she really loved Young Sussex. She made absolute best friends, she came out of nursery completely school-ready and all-round happy. She has brought home some
lovely arts activities that have been really thoughtful and I'll keep as a very treasured memory. I also loved the extra activities that were on offer (e.g. when external visitors like musicians came and engaged the kids) and I was extremely grateful for the extra requests I was able to make, for example, my daughter and her two besties had a brilliant little photoshoot on their last day together before starting school - another really precious memory to treasure and keep. We also made the staffs' lives extra difficult by asking them to use our cloth nappies which I am sure was an additional challenge but they took it on and tried to accommodate which I was very grateful for!

We have had an absolutely fantastic experience at Young Sussex Brighton. We moved our daughter aged 1 from another nursery at which we'd had a bad experience and immedialtey found them to be kind, well-led, organised and extremely supportive as we navigated having a young child in day care as I
returned to work. There is a low turnover of staff which makes sense with a stong and commited leadership team. The staff all wear uniform which really helped our daughter understand who she could go to and the setting has great toys, activities and a lovely garden. She's been very happy their since day one and has moved up to the toddler room which she skips into most days. When she does get upset going in occasionally, staff are brilliant in knowing which activity to suggest to make her enthusiastic! She talks constantly at home about all the things she gets up to. The office staff have been extremely supportive and flexible, always available via phone, email or popping in.

My family has recently moved to Brighton and so my daughter moved from her previous nursery at age 3. I was worried about the transition for her, but Young Sussex were welcoming, knowledgeable and have been so supportive to us as a family. Our daughter had settled in so well and it's lovely to watch
her go in confident and calm every morning. I trust everyone who works here and would highly recommend it for any other families.

Young Sussex is a really wonderful nursery and special place for children to grow up. Our daughter (now four) has been there since she was one and we have watched her grow into a confident, caring and funny little girl. The staff are amazing, gentle and patient and consistent, providing that
supportive and nurturing environment at each stage of development. The children have so many opportunities to develop interests through all of the activities and play. The outside space is fantastic, our daughter loves the garden and any opportunity to play in the mud kitchen! Communication with the staff is brilliant and feels like a partnership, they are so considered and really care for the needs of the children.
Our son (one) has recently started and he loves nursery too, it is wonderful to see the bonds he is forming with the staff already. We are moving out of the area, so sadly leaving but we are so grateful to Young Sussex for the wonderful start they have given our children.

Young Sussex is an excellent nursery. Our daughter started there at 10 months and had a very gentle start (for both her and us). She grew up there, running in every morning and was always greeted kindly, by her name, by known member of staff. Her days were filled with great activities, amazing food
and we were updated all the way through.
Her progress and needs were often discussed and we had informal chat about her day every day.
We, unfortunately, had to change nursery after we moved away but would have loved to keep her there until school.
Now we have another nursery to compare, we can definitely say that Young Sussex made our daughter feel happy and special on a daily basis.

An absolutely wonderful nursery, my son attended since he was 12 months and has just left to start reception. He had the best experience at Young Sussex and has flourished into a confident and curious boy.
The staff are caring, nurturing and cater to each child's needs. You really build a
relationship with the team who have all been there a long time which is testament to a great team.
They have lots of space indoors and out and the separate baby garden is really nice.
The opening hours and flexibility of attendance was a huge benefit to us.
We are looking forward to sending our youngest soon and seeing everyone again.

My daughter has been in Young Sussex for two years and it's been a pleasure. Amazing management and staff are very well trained.
My daughter was very shy at the beginning of first year she was struggling in making friends and was very shy to talk the staff worked so hard to help my daughter and
within very short time my daughter started to be confident in talking , making friends and taking part in group activities. Thank you YoungSussex team .

A great nursery (our daughter has been to 4!) good staff retention which is important to us, and really big spaces indoors and outdoors for the kids. Very welcoming and professional staff and lots of fun activities.
Our daughter was very happy there.

Both our children have attend Young Sussex in Brighton, so we have been involved with the school for more than 5 years. It has been a fantastic experience from beginning to end. We joined after a complex experience with our first nursery, and were welcomed with constant kindness, compassion and
professionalism. Both our children had a wonderful time, building close bonds with teachers, who rapidly became key figures in their emotional development and learning. I genuinely cannot recommend the school highly enough. We even moved out of the city and continued to take our children into Brighton so they could still attend Young Sussex. Management have been especially important in our journey, deftly navigating funding changes, the COVID experience and all the challenges the Early Years sector faces in the UK. A special place. There were a lot of happy tears on our last day...

Excellent care! Our daughter has progressed massively at Young Sussex because of the nurturing environment here. She is well cared for, entertained and encouraged to grown and develop. Thanks for your kindness to our daughter.
14 April 2025
I have been so happy with my child's progress and development since starting at Young Sussex. It was nerve wrecking bringing her here for the first time- she is our first child and we didn't know what to expect- but from the moment she started, we have all been made to feel so welcome and at ease.
My child's key worker has developed an amazing relationship with my child, and she just loves her! We couldn't recommend YS more highly. The activities and ideas they come up with is so inspiring. My child is thriving.
11 April 2025
Our daughter has settled so well into the nursery after a tricky start. I love seeing all the activities she gets involved in. We are so pleased we chose Young Sussex.
12 February 2025
Our daughter absolutely flourished at Young Sussex Nursery and loved her time there. All of the staff are genuinely wonderful - helpful, kind and patient with the children, we felt they were both being looked after so brilliantly that we didn't worry at all about her when we dropped her off. Young
Sussex is also a lovely space with the kids spending plenty of time outdoors and encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Both of my children attended Young Sussex. They both flourished there and think back on their time with fond memories. The staff are wonderful. Very nurturing and caring. Drop-offs can be tricky, and staff were always understanding and would call later to let me know my child had settled. There were
lots of activities, story times and a nice garden to play in. But the main thing was that I felt like my children were being well looked after and were safe. In all our time there, there was one incident when my daughter had put a stone up her nose. The nursery called straightaway.
26 September 2024
Our two boys joined Young Sussex Nursery aged 2 and 3. We had moved to the area and therefore had to transfer nursery. The team at Young Sussex gave us such piece of mind that our boys were looked after and invested in educationally, whilst we both were busy working parents. I like many things about
the nursery. Highlights include the great space available, in and out, and the depth of resources the team can turn to physically to undertake educational sessions. The longevity of the management team and the staff in a competitive industry also speaks volumes. Young Sussex provided our family with a brilliant start and then confidence our children now have in all areas has supported a great start at school. This is an outstanding nursery environment in Brighton.

My son attended the Young Sussex Dyke Road site for the past 3 and a half years and has flourished. He has formed strong friendships and is developmentally doing very well and that is due to the care and support he has been given by all the staff at Young Sussex.
I cannot recommend this nursery
enough- my daughter attended the Hove site a few years ago and we were equally impressed.
13 September 2024
Our daughter went to Young Sussex from the age of 11 months until she left to go to primary school this September.
We cannot have asked for a better nursery for our daughter to develop, learn and make new friends. She is a quietly confident child, takes a while to get to know a situation and they
really helped bring her out of her shell from the very beginning and at every transition to the next group.
Every single member of staff has been a pleasure to speak to, they always have time for feedback on the day and if you have any questions.
It's a very nurturing environment and it feels very organised and well run. They were really flexible as well if we ever needed extra days and the swap days for holidays were also really helpful.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone, and have no doubt your child will be well cared for and settle in in no time at all. We will miss it very much!
09 August 2024
So far we are very satisfied with the experience and the way our child learns at this wonderful nursery! We hope it will continue to be as beautiful and good! My daughter is very happy here!
Do not hesitate to bring your children to this "big family".
