My son loves his time at play school. There's multiple staff members he really loves and he's made some great friends too.
The staff - management and in the classroom - take so much effort to entertain and educate the kids, introducing them to new and exciting things that we wouldn't do at home. I
love getting updates and photos of what they're up to. His leaning journey feels personal to him, and it's great parents can upload their own observations from home - in one case it resulted in the nursery buying new puzzles for him!
The site itself feels really homely and the class size isn't too big or overwhelming so I'm confident he gets good quality time with staff.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear your son is enjoying his time at play school and that his learning experience feels personal. We appreciate your feedback and are so glad you're happy with the care and attention he's receiving!

I am thrilled with the experience my children have at the Grove Lodge Bright Horizons Nursery. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and dedicated, ensuring that each child feels valued and cared for. The nursery was refurbished last year as well, so feels very fresh!
The nursery offers a wide
range of activities that keep children engaged and excited. From arts and crafts to outdoor play, music sessions, and educational games, there are countless activities that children can engage in. My children are always eager to share the fun and learning experiences they have each day.
The meals provided at nursery are another highlight. All meals are freshly made on-site, and my children thoroughly enjoy them. It's comforting to know they are eating nutritious and delicious food. Additionally, the nursery offers 7:30am drop off and breakfast, which is convenient for busy mornings.
Thank you Grove Lodge Bright Horizons nursery team for creating such a wonderful place for our little ones!

I highly recommend Bright Horizons Grove Lodge Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool to all parents. Once your child is there, trust the safe hands. The staff is amazing, so caring. Onboarding was very smooth. They did consider about the health care plan and acted on it immediately, which I haven't
seen in any nursery before. My 11 months old settled very quickly and she is very happy at daycare. We could feel it at the pickups.Special thanks to three members of staff, in particular, for all the support..

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both our children attend Grove Lodge and they have both had great experiences. Our eldest will soon leave for school and he is well prepared for the next step after 3.5 years here.
Our younger one has attended for 10 months so far and absolutely adores it. The team are so welcoming, kind and really
help settle younger children in.
The only reason nurseries in general are not value for money is due to the childcare system which is underfunded by the government so I appreciate this isn’t solely down to the nursery, but the fees are high - but we need early years childcare and make it work.
Everyone does a fantastic job and our children are always so happy. Even when an issue with another child has happened, we have been listened to and follow-up action has been happening.
Communication is really good too via use of the app and everyday interactions. Highly recommend.

We have been unbelievably thrilled with Grove Lodge as a nursery. The staff are super caring and efficient. Our little boy loves going in every morning and he always has so much fun.

I can not express how happy I am with this nursery. The staff are genuinely interested in my son's development and emotional wellbeing. They are happy and cheerful and do not look like they don't want to be there (unlike our previous experience). They have amazing healthy meals made on-site, full of
hidden and unhidden vegetables. The staff have helped our son with settling, potty training, moving house and changing home situations, they have just adjusted their approach based on his needs. We recently moved to a different city and have kept him there as it's such an amazing place. Also, excellent at empowering and helping with emotional intelligence. 100% recommend!

In our opinion the service provided by MightySaurus is outstanding. Our son loves his time there and has made good friends with other children. His learning and knowledge is beyond that than we would have expected and we believe the nursery has given him an excellent start in life. All staff members
are dedicated to their profession and to the children and it is a joy to see them at work with them. We will be forever grateful to them.

It's good to have a space like MightSaurus where with the passing of each day, my kids learn new things, meet and interact with other children, and by the end of the day, they've learnt so much. I'll also like to add, my older son was very ahead of his peers when he started school, and that's thanks
to the staff in their stride to prepare the kids for school.

My daughter loves this nursery. She loves telling me what she's been doing each day, and showing me her creations. She's been there since she was 14 months old (she's now 3) so she's been in every room and I can say everyone has been brilliant for her.


All the staff are caring and supportive, but

the best thing is probably the food - it's all made on-site, and I know she's eating healthy, tasty meals every day. The nursery also accepts the Government free hours scheme, which will be handy when she is eligible next term.

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 Grove Lodge Burgess Hill 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 Grove Lodge Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 180 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 Grove Lodge Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 15 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
