Instantly felt at ease when we came in for a viewing! When different people were picking my daughter up at the door, I was scared at first because I hadn’t met anyone other than two who were at the viewing, but my she seemed to go at ease and seems to be comfortable with everyone. This led me to feel
more comfortable at drop off. I can’t explain how comfortable I really am with leaving her at nursery now. I went from checking the app every 5 mins to just around feeding time to make sure she’s eaten and any day updates. I can’t thank you all enough! Everyone that’s around her helping her develop each day. The updates I get when I pick her up are great, the constant updates, pics and videos on the app are fantastic! I was overwhelmed and emotional when she was counting to 5! She might not know what she’s saying half the time but I can only see progress since she started nursery! Her key worker has been amazing! Honestly everyone around her deserves a big shout out!

Our daughter has been at Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove since she was 2 years old. Her and our experience of this nursery have been wonderful. The staff are all very nice and are always on hand to help. The facilities are excellent and very spacious. We can’t recommend this nursery highly enough. We
will be sad when the time comes to leave.

I can highly recommend Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool. Our son joined at 9 months old and our initial worry of leaving our baby at nursery settled very quickly. All of the staff members are amazing, they are each truly above what we hoped for. The progression in our son's confidence,
speech and character has us in awe most days and we are truly grateful to the nursery staff for their assistance in this. Our son loves it here (especially the garden!) and as his parents, we are very happy.

After sending our first child here, it was an obvious choice for our second child. They have been at the nursery for 7 months now and is very happy there. The facilities are excellent, the garden especially, and all of the staff take that little bit of extra care. We would thoroughly recommend.

Our son has been attending the nursery for about a year, and he loves it. We initially tried a different nursery, which was a pretty horrible experience. Our son used to cry at every drop-off lost his appetite and stopped sleeping so we decided on switching to Bright Horizons.
It was a 180-degree
turn. Our boy runs into the nursery with the biggest smile. He adores his key person, and all the other people working there. The staff is very approachable and great at communicating with us. I can highly recommend Bright Horizons, our second boy will also be attending as soon as he's ready.

Our little one joined Tinysaurus at 8 months old, because I needed to be back at work. I was very worried to leave my baby somewhere else, but since the beginning, the staff had been wonderful, always with a big smile, always so caring. My little one is always so happy to go there and she loves them
all. The nursery manager is so lovely, always making sure the parents and the kids are happy and that we are informed about everything. Every time we need to ask her something, she is there to help. We love Tinysaurus and couldn't recommend it more! Thank you, all of you, for your hard work!

I have two very active and lively boys who have both been at Tinysaurus since they were 4 months and 9 months old until primary school age. They have loved every minute and formed real attachments with their key workers over the years. They always talk fondly of all the staff and their nursery friends.
Choosing a nursery is really difficult, especially when your babies are so young but as soon as I walked through the door, I fell in love! The staff are really well trained, the space and equipment is second to none, everything is clean and well looked after, more importantly they have fun in a safe and caring environment. The management team are excellent, communication is fantastic and the way they have adapted to the pandemic has been amazing. I have never questioned whether or not my family is safe during these difficult times. It’s been worth every penny and I’m genuinely gutted to be saying goodbye! I would thoroughly recommend Tinysaurus.

Tinysaurus provided a wonderful nursery experience for our daughter, who is now at school. Sending our second child was an easy decision. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Our son goes in happily and comes out equally haPPY. The team are always responsive to our needs and queries whenever it is
about naps or behaviour. I have also appreciated the support and care during the Covid pandemic.

From the minute we walked into the nursery for the first time to have a look around, we knew that it was perfect for our daughter, and she felt at home straight away. The staff are wonderful, professional and welcoming. The nursery is very clean and full of lovely toys and areas for children to play
in. The garden is like something out of a fairytale. Since starting in September, our daughter has learned so much and comes home showing off her new singing or dancing skills, artwork or talks about the books that she has looked at. Each day is full of lovely activities. They have special visitors to celebrate a variety of festivities, so children learn about various cultures and make each child’s birthday very special too. We would absolutely highly recommend this nursery, and our daughter could not be happier.

I did a lot of research into which nursery to choose, and I am very happy I chose Tinysaurus. Initially, I chose them as I thought the nursery had a great size room and back garden for the babies, are super clean (which was very important to me ), had a great programme, great menu choice and the staff
were all friendly and professional. The staff handled the settling in sessions very well and made me feel very comfortable. My little one has been with the nursery for 6-months, and I can really see a difference in his development. All the staff are friendly and approachable and have really made themselves known to all the babies and parents and are very well updated. If I have ever had a certain request, they have always been accommodating. It’s a great feeling knowing my little one is enjoying going to the nursery every day and built fantastic relationships with the staff. I have already and will continue to recommend Tinysaurus to anyone looking for a nursery.

My son has attended Tinysaurus Nursery for a little over a year now, and we all love it! My husband and I love it because we know just how much enjoyment our son gets out of his nursery days. The access to photos and the daily updates really help to show us what he’s learning and enjoying on a daily
basis. The team are incredibly friendly and helpful.
My son has really taken a shine to one particular member of staff, which is so comforting to know that he’s got a person that he’s extra comfortable with and excited to go and see.
I’d highly recommend Tinysaurus to anyone looking for a nursery. It’s got a lovely warm, friendly and approachable feel about it. I feel like my son comes home with a new skill or word on what feels like a daily basis.
I also know that at least at nursery my son is getting a very varied and healthy diet too!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.894 for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.894

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Wish Park Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
