We are so happy with Supersaurus Nursery. They have been amazing with our two little boys who are clearly very happy at nursery. Communication is really good. We always feel in the loop with everything. The boys have so much fun and learn so much there. We are so glad we chose Supersaurus. Thanks a
million.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was nine months old. The care he has received is excellent. Staff are friendly and knowledgable, and management is very responsive. The nursery is very clean, and the activities and resources are outstanding. I could not recommend this nursery enough.

We love Supersaurus. Our third child now attends, and it is just as brilliant as when our first started seven years ago. I remember walking in, and it just feels right. Our children have been so well cared for here with lots of activities to keep them busy. They have all formed special bonds with their
key workers. We love the outside space - especially the private ship. I would thoroughly recommend Supersaurus.

My daughter absolutely loves the nursery, and it is brilliant to see her come home every day having learnt countless new things! The staff are wonderful and so caring. I've been especially impressed with how the management has handled Coronavirus. The facilities are great, the outside garden in particular.
I'm so happy we found Supersaurus. Thank you to all the staff who do such a brilliant job.

My daughter has gone to Supersaurus for three happy years. She has grown in confidence and sprit under their nurturing care. My daughter has made many important connections, and friendships during her time at nursery. I can say without a doubt that the heart of Supersaurus is its wonderful staff. Each
and every one of them is kind and patient, and we’ll be forever grateful to them.

A big thanks to all the staff at Supersaurus. During the challenging last few months, you gave some sense of normality to my child. She has grown in confidence and in her communication with others. Having the peace of mind that she was well taken care of, helped a lot with going through this pandemic
situation. Management has also been quite fair by freezing the fees whenever she was not able to attend. Thumbs up to all the staff and wish you all well.

Super friendly and competent staff and manager. My little one was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and needed surgery. The staff welcomed and took care of my princess in a spica cast. We are so pleased we joined Supersaurus as they made it possible for my girl to feel no different from the other kids because
of her big cast and she could keep developing other fronts. She could be distracted and have fun only when at the nursery so they literally are our angels! She is now in a brace and the staff are every time checking on her appointments and very close to us. We can't thank you all enough. Keep up the excellent work!

My child loves this nursery and her care workers. The staff are all very attentive, responsive and the teams are stable. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents - it stands head and shoulders above many other nurseries I have seen over many years. It is worth the higher cost,
though if I have one area of criticism it is around this. We have different care needs on a bi-weekly basis; this is not handled that well, although we seem to have reached a compromise that satisfies both parties. Nor were they helpful when we looked for an ad-hoc week beyond our child's leaving date, even though we have had children with them for over seven years.

My son started to attend Supersaurus when he was only eight months old.
He's now 28 months old.
I liked this nursery right away and felt confident to leave my son here.
Staff is well prepared, caring and always very informative about the progress of my son's learning development.
It's the cleanest
nursery I have seen.
Food is fresh and varied.
My son is always happy to go which makes me feel like Supersaurus is the best choice we have made for him.

I visited many nurseries but this one shone from the rest.
It is clean. The staff are friendly. The layout of the activities is excellent. The food cooked on the premises is nutritious and varied.
I can log in to the parent cam and check on my daughter periodically. The staff keep me updated using
her folder and on Tapestry.
They take on feedback. I highly recommend this nursery.

I couldn't have had a better experience with Supersaurus. My son started there a year ago, during a difficult time for the wider family, and the nursery has been calm, empathetic, sensitive, intelligent and a lot of fun for him! I feel that they really know him - they 'get' what he likes and what makes
him both laugh and relax or what might make him nervous and they have always adapted. It's clean, he eats well, and he has made real friends. They have been a huge support (even when jury service for me was thrown into the mix) and provided wonderful times for my son.

We all absolutely love Supersaurus. The staff are fantastic including my son's key worker who he just adores. The nursery is super clean. My son has so much fun here. Every day he is desperate to get inside and have a great time. He is always so happy when I drop him and collect him and often asks for
his key worker when at home. We couldn’t have found a better nursery for our son. We feel very lucky to have him attend here and look forward to many more great times to come. The food my son gets is fantastic and seems to be a much better offering than some of my friends who go elsewhere. The safeguarding is also fantastic. I couldn't recommend Supersaurus enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Bright Horizons 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.898 for Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 Hove Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 28 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 122 number of registered child places is 24.4, which has been reached with 28 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2012

After completing my level 3 qualification in childcare at college in 2011 I knew I wanted to begin my career working in a nursery, I was lucky enough to be offered a job at Supersaurus nursery in 2012. I started working in the baby room where I grew in my role and was offered a Room Leader role in 2014 which I proudly accepted. I worked very closely with all families in helping support their children with their development and grew very close relationships.


In 2015 I was then offered the Deputy Manager role at Supersaurus and this taught me a lot about leadership and how to run a nursery in operations. In 2017 I went travelling around South East Asia, Indonesia and Australia for 4 months, I learnt so much from having this once-in-a-lifetime experience and made memories that would last a lifetime! When I returned back to the UK I went to work in our sister nurseries as a Deputy Manager and was promoted Manager in 2018.


I was then offered to complete my level 2 in Leadership and Management and doing this helped broaden my knowledge in leading a team. I have been Manager at Supersaurus Nursery since August 2021 and I thoroughly enjoyed being back at the nursery where I started this journey, coming into work every day to see all of our lovely children really makes my day that much better!

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2015

In 2012 I attended the University of Brighton where I completed a BA (Hons) Education undergraduate degree where I discovered my passion for child development within the early year's sector. I was fortunate enough to have been granted the opportunity to work for Supersaurus in 2015 once graduated and spent my time undertaking further study by completing an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare to enable me to support the children to the best of my ability.


I was promoted to Deputy Nursery Manager in 2017 and engaged in an exciting opportunity to complete my Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) at the University of Brighton whilst supporting the sister nurseries in both East and West Sussex. I genuinely feel that I am confident within my professional role to use the knowledge I have acquired in my own educational journey to broaden the children’s experiences by providing the staff with the open opportunity to create awe and wonder each and every day with the children!


I really do love the journey a child takes here at our nursery when starting in our baby room and making their way through until they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to enter school life with confidence. It is always such a proud moment knowing they are prepared for the next stage of their life.
