Both my sons have attended Burgess Hill nursery and both have loved it there. Great staff, fabulous with all the children. A very safe and welcoming environment. My daughter will hopefully be going there too. No other nursery compares, we just love it!

Fantastic facilities run by warm, friendly, consummate professionals who genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development; our little girl is clearly enjoying her time there. Regular, concise updates on the children's activities are provided and there is good flexibility for parental check-ins.
We are very happy with our choice of nursery!

My daughter's needs are well understood, she is treated as an individual and the curriculum and activities are tailored to her. The staff often go above and beyond. We look forward to the nursery utilising further a variety of different learning environments in the future

Thank you so much for your review. We are indeed so very lucky to have access to such wonderful grounds which, as well as our designated Nursery outdoor space, which includes climbing apparatus, a planting garden, mud kitchen, den building area and football strip, we have designated outdoor classroom space off each of our rooms which children can access at any time. We also have a huge sports field, a wooded area, astroturf courts, a lawned flower garden, trees to climb, a large sandpit and a fabulous wooden assault course. The children and staff are great at getting kitted up in all weathers to explore our wonderful outdoors and we delight in seeing the children's developing self-esteem, risk-taking, confidence and concentration skills flourish in the outdoors. We will definitely continue to embrace all that the outdoors has to offer.

Fantastic nursery. My children are well cared for and their wellbeing is taken seriously.
The pre-school learning from age three is great and I know the nursery staff are committed to getting children ready for school so they are equipped to deal with their new surroundings.
My only dissatisfaction
is the lack of flexibility regarding nursery days and hours. Term time children's holidays are not aligned to public school holiday dates which would be much more suitable for working parents.

Reply from Suzanne Roberts at Burgess Hill Nursery

Thank you so much for your review, it means a lot to us to hear your positive comments. It has been a pleasure supporting your children's curiosity and desire to learn over the past few years.
Our term dates do vary slightly from other local schools, however, we aim to be as flexible as possible by offering extensions either side of the school day and ad hoc sessions outside of term times which prove popular with our term time only families.

I really can't fault this nursery. It is fantastic! It is extremely well run and ordered whilst at the same time the staff are very compassionate with my daughter. She absolutely loves going here and is often sad to leave! The staff are a pleasure to deal with and the building very modern and attractive.
The nursery encourages outdoor play and uses the school grounds to good effect. Highly recommended! Your child will love it!

Reply from Suzanne Roberts at Burgess Hill Nursery

Thank you so much for your positive review, it means so much to us to hear your views. We are delighted to be able to follow your daughter's journeys as she moves through to the main school too!

I can’t rate Burgess Hill Nursery highly enough. The staff are so caring and are so inventive when it comes to interesting my daughter in her learning. I’ve noticed a real improvement in her focus and attention span, as well as her knowledge (letters and numbers and writing skills). They have a new
topic each term which is really nice - she now knows all the planet names thanks to the space topic and we’re really looking forward to Spring when the children will get to watch chicks hatching! It’s a nice balance of structure and play which I think will make the transition to school much easier. Their outside space is also really well equipped and they get to go on walks around the school grounds as well, which my daughter loves. All in all, I can’t think of a single thing to improve on and only wish we’d found it sooner!

Both children have been very happy at the nursery. It feels like a great stepping stone between traditional nurseries and school. They learn a lot but have a lot of fun too. The outside space is fantastic as are the light classrooms. Teachers are warm and welcoming too.

A wonderful nursery, my child is very happy, lots of fun toys to play with plus structured learning, her reading and writing has come on so well and lots of outside play as well. The food provided is great, it encourages my child to try lots of different things. They are very adaptable as well and will
listen to your requests. We love it here and hopefully, my next child will be attending as well once they reach the correct age.

We could not rate Burgess Hill Nursery more highly. Our son has been there for 10 months now and has had a wonderful time there as well as learning so much along the way. We have two older children who went to other nurseries in the area and looking back, we really wish we had known about Burgess Hill
nursery for them too! The nursery itself is spacious and light and the outdoor area is very well equipped too. The nursery children also go on regular walks around the grounds of Burgess Hill Girls which our son always really enjoys. The staff could not be friendlier and more helpful, and we feel they have the balance of structured learning and free play just right. A big thumbs up from us.

I could not be happier with the preschool. The staff are consistent, caring and focused on providing children with the best possible learning environment. My daughter talks of wonderful experiences and we have seen her progress with her writing, numbers and knowledge. I love the creative approach the
preschool uses to help children learn including their social and emotional development. My daughter loves her preschool and tells us it’s lots of fun. I will be sad when it’s her time to leave, but confident she’ll be ready for the next stage in her education.

Burgess Hill Nursery has been a fantastic nursery, not only for my son but for our family. They have offered us tremendous help and support in all aspects of ours sons care and have helped and advised us as a family in getting our son addition support. Because of the nurseries help and guidance our
son will begin school in September 2018 with additional help and a care plan. Nursery continue to help and support our son in all aspects and have certainly gone the extra mile. They continue to come up with new ways to help our son learn and develop that suit him and his situation. They offer our son a warm and inviting environment where he feels safe and secure. Our son enjoys his time at nursery and has built many very special bonds with the staff there.T he staff continue to work with us and our son to help him develop and always have the time to talk things through with us. Management have also been very involved with our son and helped out in many ways and offered a lot of support.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Burgess Hill Nursery 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.992 for Burgess Hill Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.992

  • 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 4.764 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burgess Hill Nursery is based on 11 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.764

  • 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.
