Beech Tree Childcare provides flexible day care for children aged from birth up to 5 years old.

Set in the grounds of Worthing Rugby Club, Angmering, children have 23 acres of the club’s land to explore and play in, as well as the nursery’s own gardens. The team believes that play underpins how children learn and develop, and that children learn best through practical, hands-on experiences and interactions with their environment. The children spend most of their time outside with play leaders, building dens, climbing trees and other activities that develop their practical and social skills, as well as their imaginations.

Children get a great outdoor experience at Beech Tree, and benefit hugely from being able to use the grounds at Worthing RFC. Activities both inside and outdoors, are well structured and adventurous, and the children are allowed to be as creative as they can imagine. The menu is fantastic and very reasonably
priced, and the children like to learn and discover by taking controlled risks during play. Communication between nursery and home is good, with regular updates reactivities on the Facebook page and via newsletter. This could be made more personal though with the introduction of an app/online learning journal for each child, e.g. Tapestry or similar, so that learning activities/achievements at home can be uploaded, alongside those experienced at nursery. Both of our children have enjoyed their experiences so far at Beech Tree, it’s a very positive environment for them to develop their skills and confidence alongside blossoming friendships.

We have used Beech Tree Childcare before with a previous child I have looked after and both children seem to really enjoy their time within the setting.
The setting offers flexible options for child care and not set times like most playgroups/nurseries.
All members of staff are courteous at drop
off and pick up.


I can’t fault the experiences I have had with Beech Tree and would highly recommend!

Beech Trees is a brilliant nursery. We have been using Beech Trees for nearly 4 years. Our son has just moved to school. He is a very independent and confident child which is down part to the time he spent with the team. He learnt so much and he loved his Beech Trees time. Our daughter is blossoming
into a confident little lady and loves her time with Beech Trees. She is very happy going in and judging by her smile when we collect her she has had fun.
Definitely recommend the manager and her team to anyone wanting a fab setting for their little ones.
It is also worth noting that they have done an amazing job staying open during Covid and keeping our children safe. They have been amazing.

My son really enjoys his days at the nursery. The staff are great with him and encourage him. He's learning new words all the time and developing new skills. My son enjoys being outside and there are lots of opportunities (weather willing) for him to do that. Lots of toys to explore and to play with.
The food is very good. My little boy seems to have at least two helpings at lunch!

My daughter began attending Beech Tree Nursery in May 2021. She is settling in well and enjoying singing nursery songs. Due to Covid, I haven’t been able to go into the building. The garden is small but they optimise the space as best as they can. They also regularly use the grounds around the building
to take the children on adventure walks. The team are lovely. My only feedback would be maybe to send out small daily communication cards. We use to receive this from her last nursery and it’s nice to see what they have been up to and eaten that day.

Reply from Heather Harmer, Owner/Manager at Beech Tree Childcare Angmering

We operate an open-door policy with parent communication and with the hopeful easing of COVID19 restrictions will be able to have open days again. We provide daily feedback at pick up and drop-offs and day sheets for our younger children. Due to daily access to 23 acres of grounds, our gardens are set up as outdoor rooms for learning and exploring in.

Our boys have been going to this nursery for a number of months now. They both got upset when they first joined but over time, thanks to the great environment Beech Tree provides, they have come to look forward to going each day and are always excited about going in. Beech Tree clearly puts the childs
needs first thanks to their child-led philosophy, particularly important to anyone following gentle parenting. We are provided with regular updates on our boys' activities as well as the nursery as a whole, they are always working on new activities that help foster the childrens imaginations and provide them with constructive skills.

I would certainly recommend Beech Tree! My son loves going and he always looks like he's had a great day. I love the ethos where the children choose their activities and everything is child-led. I also love that the staff are busy playing and interacting with the children rather than assessing what
they do and collecting evidence. I also feel that every member if the team is valued and I know that if they are cared for then my child is! My son goes two days a week but surprises me every day with what ha has learnt at nursery.Thank you Beech Tree!

Our foster son had many issues before he started at Beech Trees. Speech delay, mutism, attachment issues, low self confidence. He is now speaking well and flourishing in every way. He happily runs into the building. I am delighted with his progress. Also the teachers give feedback daily. They give advice
on his learning ability. Always helping him to achieve. Setting regular goals.

Our son joined Beech Tree Childcare in February 2021. He has settled in very well and the staff are an absolute delight, very friendly and attentive. We feel happy to leave our son in their hands as we believe they love and look after him along with them supporting his learning journey. Our son previously
struggled with being left but he will just walk in with a smile on his face now. Great place, highly recommend.

My son started at Beech Tree Childcare this month, he was going to another nursery before this and it was always a struggle at drop off. However at Beech Tree Childcare, we have never had a problem, he is very happy to go in and comes out with a big smile and can’t tell me quickly enough all the activities
he has been up to. As a family, we are amazed at the change in his eagerness to go to nursery now! All the staff do a fantastic job, I can hear the chuckles of enjoyment from the children in the garden as I walk back to the car... a real happy place for them all. Well done Beech Tree!

My son had awful separation anxiety and wouldn’t let anyone do anything for him, not even his dad. I made the decision to put him into nursery to try and help this. The staff at Beech Tree were fab! He spent the first few weeks crying at the door but they soon had him laughing and playing. He is now
excited to go to nursery and comes out talking about all his has done. He now says the ladies in his room are his best friend and he loves playing with the baby (not sure if this is a child or a toy). He is getting to be such a more confident child and now joins in eating with them even though he was such a picky eater.
I feel so confident in my choice of sending him here and they really do look after the children so much and has really boosted my son's life. Just a huge thank you for all they do and the love they give for their roles.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for almost 3 years. Started to send her when she was around 6 months old as the nursery worked with my working hours and my family. My daughter absolutely loves it there she is so happy when she is going to nursery and all the new things she gets to explore.
I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience for my child.

Beech Tree has been absolutely fantastic at settling my baby in who had otherwise never been left, even with family. The settling in process was highly effective and staff were very considerate towards my feelings of leaving him for the first time.
I always get welcomed at the door by friendly faces
which makes such a difference when being apprehensive about leaving my baby. They always make me feel so much better and I know my baby is in the safest hands possible.
Management are amazing at Beech Tree. The manager and learning director are so hands-on within the rooms and very flexible to my families needs. All staff know my baby and take an interest in his home life, for example, my baby is half Brazilian and when staff found out about us teaching him Portuguese; they ordered bilingual books, learned new songs etc. Absolutely fantastic to celebrate each child's diverse backgrounds.
I wouldn't hesitate and have indeed recommended Beech Tree to friends.

Beech Tree has been so amazing with my son and in reassuring me when he cries now and then at dop off. The staff there are fantastic - so caring, loving and plain wonderful! I know that my son is in the best hands possible and he is always so happy when I pick him up. Their way of teaching and playing
with the children is exceptional and works so well. I wouldn't put my son anywhere else and I look forward to my daughter going there.

My little boy has recently started at Beech Tree. He loves going there and always says he has had a good time at pick up.
The flexibility of the hours is really good and being able to bring his own packed lunch is also really good, due to him being a fussy eater.
The management and team have been
really good from the start and give a good update at pick up on what has been done.
Since joining I have noticed a good improvement in his speech.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a good friendly nursery.

I've been blown away with the progress my boy has made since joining Beech Tree Nursery, as a key worker, it has been vital for me to be able to leave my son in a safe and loving environment in these times. He loves his time there and is always full of beans and stories to tell when he comes home. His
confidence has grown immeasurably and now is really coming into his own amongst peers (Proud Dad moment!) A great team and I would wholly recommend sending your little loved ones to Beech Tree!

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.292)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.292) out of 10 for Beech Tree Childcare Angmering 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 Beech Tree Childcare Angmering is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 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 3.292 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beech Tree Childcare Angmering is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.167

  • 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.
