Our daughter is very happy at Young Sussex. She always seems to have had lots of fun when we collect her. She comes home singing new songs and gained confidence. The staff at Young Sussex are always very welcoming and easy to approach. Our daughter is always happy to see them too. We are very happy
with the facilities and activities they provide.

A very traditional and sensible, caring, environment. We are very pleased with the speed at which my child has progressed from baby to well rounded toddler. Soon she will be at school and we feel she has been well prepared. Young Sussex has kept us informed at all phases of her development and when
we have had the inevitable minor concerns that a "little person" creates, everything has been speedily and sensitively addressed and sorted out. If anything we would only say that the garden date could have a better lock. Otherwise everything else is excellent!

We are now in a position where we no longer require the facilities of a nursery however I would never even begin to consider removing my son from here. He absolutely loves going to "school" playing with his friends and the adults. Everyday he comes home beaming and telling me all about the things he
has been doing. He learns so much here and the staff are so accommodating to our needs nothing we ever ask is too much trouble and they are not only pro active in identifying his needs but work with us in areas we want him to focus on. They never disappoint and bend over backwards to juggle staff and have additional days required at short notice.

From the moment you enter the nursery you know your child is in a secure, professional environment and they will thoroughly enjoy their day. The children are looked after in a supportive, friendly atmosphere. The staff are warm and caring plus show a genuine interest in your child. Simultaneous activities
going on throughout the day and excellent use of outdoor space. I was especially impressed by the nursery's use of external organisations and resources to stimulate the children's learning, without additional expense to the parents.
Young Sussex has helped develop my daughter into a happy, caring, polite and confident child and have prepared her beautifully for ‘big’ school. No complaints, very happy.

A great nursery, my daughter attended from 6 months of age and is leaving in 2 weeks aged 4 and a half to start school in September. My 1 year old son now attends too and they have been extremely accommodating, having extra training for staff due to his special healthcare needs.

This setting is stimulating and fun from the moment children walk through the door. My son has been at Young Sussex for 4 years and everyday of his attendance he has been greeted with a smile and warm welcome and walked into a room set up with interesting and inviting activities ready to go! The staff
all encourage the children to be individual and link learning into any topic that your child is interested in to further their knowledge and growth in a fun and interesting way. There is a great communication line and all staff are approachable, understanding and helpful. I would recommend this setting to all!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Young Sussex Nursery (Shoreham) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 5.000 for Young Sussex Nursery (Shoreham) is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Young Sussex Nursery (Shoreham) is based on 13 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 13 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.

Sarah Burt

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 1992

After completing my childcare qualification, I worked as a residential matron at a private school, then briefly at a nursery before working in a high street bank. I joined Young Sussex in May 1992 to help set up and manage the new Shoreham nursery.


I later became an NVQ Assessor, helping many of the staff through their NVQ2 and 3s, before ultimately completing my Level 5 in Leadership and Management in 2016.


I have lived in Southwick and Shoreham all my life and still live locally. I have had a lifelong involvement in the Brownies and Guides, but having retired from an active role, I now spend my time on my many crafts such as crocheting and card making!
