Our twins joined Young Sussex Nursery just after their first birthday and have had a brilliant experience so far. The girls absolutely love being there and it sounds like they have a huge variety of activities throughout the day. The staff are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, in both the nursery itself and the office. As a parent, we love the flexibility Young Sussex offers, being able to sign up for term time and part time, whilst also having the option to swap and extend sessions as and when is brilliant. We feel confident that our children are well cared for and would highly recommend YS to anyone!

Our son joined Young Sussex Nursery at the end of last year, and we have been extremely happy with the support, care, and consistency that the nursery has provided in helping him settle in. After looking around the many nurseries in the area, we settled for YS due to it's smaller size, great outdoor space, and most importantly, the longevity of the staff members. We feel a real sense of community here, and our son's key worker and other staff members always have the time to provide feedback on his day at nursery, along with his overall development. They offer a nice mix of activities throughout the day, from outdoors play, climbing, and messy play, to reading, singing and art. We are kept up-to-date throughout the day on nappy changes, nap time and longevity, and what our son has eaten, along with photos to show the activities he's been engaging in. This is so important for us, and reminds us that our son is being well looked after.

Our son joined the nursery 2 months ago and he absolutely loves it. The care and time taken to make sure he was settled in ok was amazing and meant to much to us as a family. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and make sure all the children have so much fun, care and attention. Such a lovely nursery couldn't recommend it enough.

We sent our two children here - our son from 2018 and our daughter from 2021. Both were quite young when they started (about 7 months old) and stayed right through until starting school. We started at Young Sussex as it was round the corner from our house but stayed with them even after we moved further away. YS was great for our kids. They made some great friends and really developed over their time there. I really appreciated the way that the teachers always took time to give clear feedback on their day. We regularly received positive and developmental feedback. In particular I'd call out two staff members in particular for the care and attention they gave our kids. Strongly recommended.

The team were great at helping my daughter get settled in after she moved setting aged three. She's been very happy at Yooung Sussex, and we've been really pleased with her development over the past months as the team has helped her get ready for school. We really rate her keyworker and all the other carers in the room. The managers are always friendly and helpful, and the setting as a whole has a family feel - I get the impression they all like and support each other and work well as a team, which is great. My younger child also attends the nursery now and has been well supported as he has settled in. Children are appreciated and cared for as individuals. Definitely recommend the nursery.

My daughter has had a lovely few years being cared for by the team at Young Sussex. She is always excited to go and see what new activities she will be doing each day. We would like to thank all the team for the support and fun we have had. A very positive experience. Kind regards.

Our daughter attended Young Sussex this past year for two mornings a week. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time there and will miss everyone, although she will hopefully be continuing her friendships outside of nursery. The staff are always so friendly and caring and often give us feedback on her day. Her key person in particular is a credit to the nursery and has made us feel very comfortable about her development. Would wholeheartedly recommend Young Sussex!

Our son went to Young Sussex Nursery Hove just after the age of 1 and was cared for and nurtured through the different rooms to ensure he was happy and supported throughout. The staff at the nursery all provided a personal touch which we really liked. We also enjoyed getting daily updates and photos via the app so we felt really involved in what they were doing. The staff provide so much support and provide great activities which can often get the whole family involved. Being able to swap days to non-nursery days (such as being on holiday) meant you weren’t wasting money which was a lovely touch. We only left due to moving out of Hove and definitely miss all there!

My daughter loves Young Sussex. She has been going since September 2023. The staff helped her settle in, which she did very quickly. My daughter loves playing in the garden and exploring new things. All the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Young Sussex Hove has been the most amazing nursery from the moment my son joined. My son has always suffered from separation anxiety from a young age but when he started the nursery his anxiety got better with time. The staff kept me updated on his progress and always made me and my son feel at ease. Two years on and my son is leaving Young Sussex and joining reception, myself and my partner are forever grateful for all the care, professionalism and hard work they have provided and will be missed not just by our son but by us too! Highly recommended nursery!
12 July 2023
My son joined this nursery in October 2020 (age 18 months) and our experience so far has been pretty good. My son loves going to the nursery, enjoys his time there and comes back happy every day. He has learnt so much while at the nursery including speaking his first words and his communication has developed so much after going to this nursery. The staff at the nursery is very communicative, open and provides as much information as possible during the handovers. I am especially impressed with the management of the nursery with communications and flexibility. It's good to know that our son is in safe hands at this nursery and makes us very reassured and confident about his time there. Definitely recommend it to parents of young kids. Thank you.

My son has attended Young Sussex Nursery since he was 5 months old. We spent so long agonising over the perfect nursery, especially at such a young age. I have nothing but good things to say about the team and space. The manager is particularly receptive to any issues, great at communication and has been a massive support to our family multiple times. The activities are varied, the children are happy and the team care. Three staff members are great room leaders and appreciate all their guidance and care for my son. He starts school in September and we will massively miss this team. Thank you.

Our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter moved from another nursery to be closer to the local school. We have been so impressed with the induction process, communication via the app regarding food and activities, the range of daily activities and things to do and the wonderful staff in general. She is so happy and asks to go on her non-nursery days. In terms of practical things, they offer flexibility in hours with early starts that coincide with the local school's breakfast clubs. We have been so happy with our experiences and would 100% recommend it.

My 11-month-old son started at Young Sussex two weeks ago and I have been so pleased with how well he's settled. The staff have gone above and beyond to make sure he's comforted and he's had lots of cuddles whilst he finds his feet. When I collect him he's smiling and gives big smiles at all the staff as we leave. He's very comfortable in the space and has been napping brilliantly. I've been so encouraged by how well he's got into the swing of things. The staff are so caring and considerate and you get a really thorough update on collection and throughout the day. The children in the room all seem happy and content and it's a lovely atmosphere. I can't recommend Young Sussex highly enough. Management have been really supportive, welcoming and straightforward to deal with which is wonderful. They've taken a lot of the stress out of this new transition for us as a family.

Young Sussex have been brilliant with our child, who started in autumn 2022. The staff are very caring, supportive and interested, and the facilities are great. We couldn't have asked for a better start to our child's nursery care.
09 January 2023
My daughter attended Young Sussex Hove and I cannot stress enough how excellent all of the staff is. My little one created an excellent bond with all of her teachers and I could definitely see on a daily basis how much her skills improved by attending nursery. All of the teachers are extremely knowledgeable and caring. Plus they ensure to keep parents always updated on the child's development and milestones. I would recommend Young Sussex Hove to any parent who is looking for outstanding care of their children.

Our daughter started nursery at Young Sussex (Hove) in September. We have been so pleased with how quickly she settled and how much she enjoys her time there. The staff are wonderful and so creative with the activities they do with the children. You can really tell that they enjoy their jobs and have a lot of fun with the children. I love seeing all the updates and photos of what they have been up to! I've been very impressed with the communication and also the flexibility the nursery offers. Everyone has been so helpful - it's been such a brilliant experience for us all.

Our daughter started at Young Sussex from the age of three, so during the difficult period of lockdown. She's now ready to go to school in September. It's given her a foundation, socially in mixing with other children and being able to be seated with the kids and learn things with lots of play. Her nursery leader and the team always had something different to do to stimulate the kids and would get them outdoors as much as the weather allowed (or not!). There were always new ideas for things the kids can do, and of course, friends to make, learning to interact with them and share and play together. She has enjoyed her time, and it's given her a foundation making her ready to go to school in September.

Young Sussex is an amazing nursery! My daughter started there when she was two, and she is off to reception in September. Every single staff member is professional and caring, and the management team are very efficient! My daughter has speech and language difficulties, and the nursery has done so much to help her develop; she has come along so much in every way not just her speech. Even throughout Covid, they did so well to quickly adapt to restrictions. I can't recommend Young Sussex enough! Thank you for everything you have done for my little one!

Both my son and daughter have been through Young Sussex, and the staff and management are the same since we joined in 2018, which is a great sign. They have seen my children from baby to school age, which has created lovely relationships. The staff are fantastic, and they always do different activities with the children. Lovely food and snacks and there is a lovely feeling in each of the rooms. My children have made lots of friends through Young Sussex and have been very happy there. The office is very quick to respond and has always been flexible and understanding with our freelance jobs and needing to swap sessions. Would definitely recommend this nursery, and I have looked at quite a few in the local area.
