When I first looked for a nursery for my daughter; planning my return to work, I was blown away by Supersaurus. A great space (inside and out), clean, organised, fun, educational, secure - everything I had hoped I would find. Almost 3 years on and we are still very happy with the standard of care and
feel as though we are part of a family. I've recommended to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

My daughter absolutely loves Supersaurus, she says to me she would like to go every day. She settled in astonishingly well right from the start. I was very impressed with how the staff ensured they had a full knowledge of my daughter's interests before she began and I am always kept well informed of
what she has been up to on a daily basis. I am so pleased with how confident she has become there. It is a very caring, vibrant, nurturing place and she is thriving.

Supersaurus has been the most positive start we could have hoped for for our two children. It's warm, inclusive, creative and offers a brilliantly secure learning environment. In short, we love it!


The ratio of staff to children is great and I have always felt my girls have had lots of attention,

focusing specifically on their individual needs.


I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone!

Both my children attend this nursery and I could not be more pleased with it. When I hear other parents grumble about the nurseries they send their children too I think "Supersaurus doesn't do that". In fact, I don't think I've ever had anything to grumble about. My children love going, always eat well,
the staff are great, the building is a good size and very well laid out. The nursery encourages learning through play so well that the children could count and recognise letters and words much sooner than I thought possible. Communication between staff and parents is excellent. Every day I get a summary of their activities, how much they have eaten, slept and nappy times for my younger one. I always get a phone call if something is wrong (e.g. seems unwell) and I'm kept well informed about their progress. I would recommend Supersaurus to any parent; in fact, I did recommend it to the taxi driver taking me home from the open evening as he was looking for a nursery for his little one.

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.
