Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath is wonderful. Our little girl settled there from day one. The staff in the baby room have been amazing, they always take the time to tell us stories about what my daughter has been up to and they have such a great bond with the babies. We really appreciate the regular
app updates, pictures and the huge variety of activities they get up to. All you have to do is see the kids running in there and cuddling the staff hello to know it’s a fantastic, fun and nurturing place. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

My son started going to Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath when he was six months old and is now one. When we arrive, he is always very excited and cannot wait to go in. The staff are brilliant, very friendly and have formed a lovely bond with my son. Always kept stimulated with messy play, arts and
crafts, walks in the park and of course lots of playing with his friends. Having a chef onsite is great, knowing that he is getting freshly prepared home cooked food every time. Having the app is very helpful, the staff put updates on throughout the day on what he has eaten, when he has slept and what he has done, they also put pictures and videos up. Working in childcare myself I have very high standards but I honestly could not recommend Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath enough.

My daughter goes to Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath preschool five days per week since July 2020. She loves it there and is excelling in all areas. The staff there are lovely and caring towards the children. One of the reasons why I chose them is that they have a chef who cooks from scratch as children's
nutrition is important. I love that they celebrate all holidays as my daughter is American. My daughter's writing and vocabulary improved since going there. I know she will be ready for when she starts school this coming September.

My daughter has been at Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath since she was thirteen months, seeing how much she has grown in confidence and how she is a very happy, excitable toddler is a joy to see. She is currently in explorers and often enjoys daily trips to the park, exploring the woods. The staff
have been brilliant and supportive during these uncertain times. I would highly recommend Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath to prospective parents.

We are so happy sending our son to Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath! He’s been going since October and straight away we saw him progressing very quickly with his walking and motor skills. The staff are so lovely and really care about the kids, my son absolutely loves going to nursery and we wouldn’t

Our two and a half year old son attends Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath once a week and absolutely loves it. He talks fondly about the practitioners, his friends and the fun activities. Following Covid-19, our situation changed but Elan Day Nursery - Haywards Heath were able to be flexible so we could
adjust his schedule accordingly, which was very much appreciated. I feel the most important aspect of a nursery is that the child comes home happy and having done and learnt something new, which he does every week.

My son is currently attending Elan Nursery, Haywards Heath and is in explorers. My son left Elan pre-school last year. I cannot speak more highly of Elan. Both settings offer a nurturing environment filled with staff who are passionate and care about every child. The fact that my 2 year runs into nursery
every day with hardly a wave of goodbye says everything to me about Elan. Pre-school also set my 4 year old superbly for school. It makes for the strange feeling of leaving your children in early years child care so much easier when I know they have such an amazing time.

Reply from Sallianne Robinson, Manager at Elan Day Nursery, Haywards Heath

Thank you for a lovely review. We are so pleased you are happy and we love having your children with us.

My son started here about six weeks ago, aged nine months. The staff could not have done more to ensure both he and I were happy and settled. The range of activities the practitioners carry out are varied and interesting - they genuinely love what they do and it shows. The on-site chef creates delicious,
healthy meals for the children and the menu is varied daily. My son eats better than me. All in all, I cannot recommend this nursery more, I'm so glad we chose it for our son.

My son started in baby room at Elan nursery at 10-months-old and has since moved into toddlers. During his time at nursery he has built great bonds with staff and is so happy there. He has grown in confidence and developed great social skills. The app is a great way to see what he has been doing throughout
the day and we love the daily photos of the varied activities. The staff are all very welcoming and caring and we feel very happy that he’s in great hands while we are working.

I can not recommend Elan highly enough. My son is due to leave for school September and I am so grateful for their input into his development since he joined at aged 7 months. The bond and memories the teachers create with the children is incredible.
I was initially concerned about the lack of outside
space at the nursery site but both sites make good use of the park and going for walks.
Their response to the COVID situation has been incredibly professional as well as flexible, the protocols they have in place significantly reduced any doubts I had.
Whilst COVID means I am now working from home for the foreseeable future, proximity to the station is less important, however, I have not hesitated in sending my youngest. Five sessions in and the team have done an amazing job of getting her settled.

My son has been at Elan for the past year and is currently absolutely loving life in the Explorers Room. Being brand new to the area, I visited quite a few nurseries and there was pretty much no competition for me in picking Elan. It had by far the best feel and the welcoming nature of all the staff
I met during my visit was so reassuring. I was very apprehensive as we were moving to a new area, house etc but Elan could not have made this easier for us. My son's key person treats him like her own, he adores her and doesn't stop telling me about all the things they've done that day. He comes back absolutely covered in glitter/paint/sticky things/food and a huge smile on his face. I couldn't want more from a nursery, I know he is getting the best care and I couldn't want more then knowing he is happy and in safe hands while I have to go to work. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Elan to anyone looking for a nursery setting for their child.

Our daughter has settled really well at Elan (she's in toddlers). She loves the staff there and is happy when we come to collect her. The app is great, we love being able to check in throughout the day. Though there isn't a big play space outside there's a big park across the road and staff are great
at taking them out for activities where they can enjoy playing outside.

My son has been at Elan since he was 14 months. Now he is 31 months old. Throughout this time, the care and attention my little one got is outstanding. Staff are well trained and almost everyone is very pleasant. My little one has been learning since day 1 and it surprises us how quickly his IQ level
and understanding is improving with time. Food is great at Elan, lots of outdoor activities (parks/woods) for kids as there is not much outdoor play area. My son loves his carers and knows everyone with their names as they genuinely care and indulge with kids. As a parent, I get time to time updates and have parent meetings with staff. I would surely recommend Elan to any new parent who wants their child to grow in a safe, caring, educational, fun and loving environment.

Our daughter has been at Elan since she was 11 months old in September 2018. Right from the start they have been so accommodating to myself and my husband as shift workers and nothing is too much trouble. Our daughter adores nursery and refers to the staff as her best friends. It is like a home from
home. I work in a safeguarding role and I am constantly impressed by Elans standards when caring for our daughter. We feel very lucky that our daughter is at Elan and we have no concerns with how she develops and learns whilst under their care. The staff are so invested in the children, it's a real joy to see. They don't have much outdoor space but the children are out in the woods and parks exploring every day, which I prefer as it's great for their imaginations. I would highly recommend Elan to any friends or family considering sending their child to nursery.

My husband and I are very pleased with the nursery. My son enjoys spending time there so much that he wants to go there on weekends as well. I am also happy with the individual care they offer. He took longer than usual to start walking. So the physician recommended a few simple exercises which the
practitioners made him do regularly. They accommodate sessions like Yoga, little kickers for an extra fee which is great as it helps them develop additional skills. They also visit parks, libraries, supermarkets which is great. I have noticed that it's not just the key worker but every carer seems to care and spend time with him, that he has developed a strong bond with the majority of them.

Both our boys have really enjoyed their time at the nursery, and grown very close to their nursery teachers and keyworkers. We have really appreciated their kindness and support. Thank you Elan,

Both of my sons have been to Elan, with my youngest currently in the toddler room there. We initially went as I was commuting so it was convenient but I no longer need a nursery near the station, and still wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else. The staff are all warm, attentive and really get to know
the kids inside out. As babies; staff were happy to go with our individual routine/preferences (eg nap times, baby-led weaning, ways of settling to sleep). They were also amazing with my eldest when he potty trained and went through the “terrible twos”. They’ve also responded brilliantly throughout COVID-19, which has been essential to me as I’m a keyworker. There was a bit of disruption when they went through a change of management, but the current team are fantastic, and we are very happy there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Elan Day Nursery, Haywards Heath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.843 for Elan Day Nursery, Haywards Heath is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 Elan Day Nursery, Haywards Heath is based on 30 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 30 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.
