Growing Up Green is a fantastic nursery. They provide a range of age-appropriate activities for the children which are enjoyable and educational, they also provide regular updates on the website. At pick-up, my son is always in a great mood and tells me how much fun he's had. The staff at the nursery,
in all the rooms, all seem to genuinely like the children and enjoy being with them. I would highly recommend Growing Up Green.

We're so glad that we chose Growing Up Green for our daughter. The staff are always extremely professional, friendly and enthusiastic no matter what time of the day you speak with them. Our daughter has really thrived while being at the nursery and comes out from each session there absolutely buzzing
with excitement. We would, without a shadow of a doubt recommend Growing Up Green to anyone looking for preschool care.

Growing Up Green is an excellent nursery and our twin boys have absolutely loved going since they started a year ago! They have a lovely relationship with their key workers (aunties) who really care about their happiness and development, understand their personality and needs and make them feel welcome
and accepted. Our little ones love the activities, the time in the garden, book reading, celebrations and they have developed leaps and bounds since going to Growing Up Green. The team has supported very closely in reviewing their development and we feel there couldn't be a better place for them to be, we totally recommend this nursery.

Growing Up Green is brilliant. Our twins have absolutely loved it there for the last year. They settled in really easily as the staff are so warm and friendly. It’s is a really good size so the children don’t feel overwhelmed at all. I’ve not really been in (due to covid) but the pictures/and reports
from the girls look like they have a great variety of activities and loads of fun. They’re always making fun things to bring home too.

Excellent nursery all around! They helped my little one settle in so well. He is well looked after and he is always happy when we drop him off and pick him up. He has thrived there, learning new things every day and having so much fun at the same time. We are grateful to all the staff there!

Our daughter has gone through the nursery from the baby room through to preschool and at every stage the team have been fantastic with her. The staff are supportive and friendly.
Through the family days we have been able to meet other parents and get to know the other children which has been lovely.

Our son has been at Growing Up Green since we moved down to Brighton just before he turned two so he has been in the teenies under two's, toddlers and now the preschool room. He was previously at a nursery we were very happy with so we were nervous to move him but he's loved being at Growing Up Green
and has made some great friends. He used cloth nappies at home before he potty-trained so we were pleased they use them as standard at the nursery. He has a very special bond with his key worker who was the same for teenies and toddlers and he talks about her everyday, even on non-nursery days. It's clean, friendly, adaptable to the child's needs, receptive to parent feedback, safe and most importantly our son has lots of fun every day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Growing Up Green to others.

Our daughter loves attending Growing Up Green each week and the staff that look after her there are excellent. Her development has been massively aided by attending the nursery and it really feels like the staff there genuinely care and have her best interests at heart. She's made lots of little friends,
is very well looked after and loves to go to nursery. We're really pleased as well with the updates provided by the app and on her development. Would heartily recommend Growing Up Green as a great nursery and a great place for children to attend.

My son absolutely loves every day he spends at Growing up Green. The care and genuine affection all of the staff have for the children there is just so apparent. They always put the children first and so much effort goes into making every day fun and engaging. Even after moving further away I did not
even consider changing nurseries, they have been amazing from day one and a pleasure to work with. My son adores everyone that works there and really misses everyone when he’s had to stay home due to sickness. A true testament for how much he loves it there! I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Growing Up Green!

Seeing my son so incredibly happy every day at Growing Up Green is why I love it so much. I think it’s the staff that make it. Their love and care for all the children is so obvious and they’ve even shared some good tips with me. I love how they refresh the activities and he gets so stuck in to the
messy play and different types of role play. Being a city based nursery the way they make the most of the rooms and garden is so creative. I really appreciate the time they took to help my son learn to walk when he was a bit slow getting going on this. It’s a brilliant nursery, I really highly recommend.

My son joined Growing Up Green after we relocated to the area. Although he'd previously been in a nursery, it certainly wasn't anything as wonderful as this. He settled in within a few days thanks to the small, safe and creative environment and the amazing, nurturing staff. Over the time he has spent
at nursery, he has developed into a confident, inquisitive, chatty little boy who is certainly ready for school and that really is thanks to the nursery. He has been so happy here and I would have no hesitation at recommending it. He even asked to go to nursery when we were on our last holiday!

I have been very impressed with Growing Up Green. Our son started 6 months ago when he was 3 years old and attends a couple of afternoons a week. The staff are warm, thoughtful and professional. They were excellent at helping our son to settle when he first joined and they continue to ensure that
he is happy and involved, despite him not attending as often as other children there. They organise an impressive range of stimulating activities and seem to make good use of the outdoor space.
I’d certainly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter started at Growing Up Green when she was one year old, for three days a week. She settled really easily with the dedicated care and support the aunties gave her. The nursery has fantastic staff retention and development which helped our daughter feel settled throughout her time there. The
staff they hire are also incredibly caring and attentive and always make time to chat about children's needs and progress. The teams are great at establishing helpful routines while being guided by children's individual interests. The in house cook and healthy, hearty food helped our daughter maintain a really varied diet even through those fussier periods.
We were so sad when she left the nursery, but looking at nurseries near to our new home made us really appreciate the excellent standard of care and warm environment they provide.

This is such a lovely nursery. Everyone who works there is so welcoming of both the children and the parents, it's such a calm environment where children are treated kindly and with respect.


The staff really get to know the children and make sure they are doing things that the children enjoy.

I was worried it would be a bit small with limited space to run around in, but actually, the children get loads of exercise. There are loads of things for them to climb around on onsite, they go in the garden to play every day and they take the children out and about most days too, either to the park or even to the shop to get pet food.
Our little one loves going there and tells us about all the things they've done through the day.


Highly recommended!

Our little girl continues to enjoy her time at Growing up Green and shows positive development almost on a weekly basis in many different areas, not least of which is in her verbal communication and comprehension. The team are sincerely caring and loving and show their engagement with each child in
a very personal and intimate way that is meaningful and specific to each child's unique needs. It has been wonderful to see our girl expand her food choices and enjoy the organic meals and snacks that are provided. We would definitely recommend Growing up Green as a great nursery for their children to attend and our little one will continue until she goes to school.

Growing Up Green is a great nursery, with a lovely homely and nurturing ethos. Both of my children attended from a very young age and remained there up until they left to start school. They were both very happy and I was always more than happy with the staff and the facilities. Although very play-based,
my children both did a lot of learning while there and by the time they left were very well prepared for starting reception. Although the outside space at this branch of GUG is limited, it is used to its fullest and the children get plenty of opportunities to use it (in all weathers!), plus there were frequent trips to the local parks and the library in town. They also have the opportunity to do forest school, yoga, music sessions and other fun activities. The staff who were there when my children attended were kind, helpful and caring and formed real bonds with them. I would not hesitate to recommend Growing Up Green to any prospective parents.

My daughter has been attending Growing up Green since she was 9 months old. Since she started 5 months ago,the change in her has been incredible. The staff are all wonderful - really friendly, totally child centred, lovely with the children. My daughter struggled to settle at first but with the support
of staff she is now totally settled, loves her days at nursery and couldn’t be happier. She absolutely loves her keyworker and is now more than happy to stay when I drop her off. Developmentally, she has made huge leaps since being with them. I have total confidence in their approach and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommended.

My son has developed great relationships and bonds with the children and his Aunties at Growing Up Green. His communication skills, confidence and sociability have massively improved since joining. The site feels homely, friendly and fun. Everyone is always very welcoming to both child and parent. Creativity
is always nurtured and my son is always trying new things from setting butterflies off in the park to messy play activities. I am really happy with my choice to send my son here.
