We have been so happy with the Lancing Nursery. Our daughter needed some extra settling-in sessions before starting and the team were so accommodating and tried every trick they knew to make her feel happy being away from me for the first time. Since starting, our daughter has become so much more confident in herself, and in chattering and we have noticed a great improvement in her willingness to try new foods. She loves her time at nursery and goes in with a smile on her face. The team have been amazing, so calm, and knowledgeable and you can tell they really love what they do. The management team are fantastic and quick to answer any questions, and the app that is used is really handy to keep track of how the day has gone. I love the open days that the nursery does as I feel it is a great opportunity to get to know the staff who are supporting me on my parenting journey.

I really can't fault the team of staff at this nursery they go above and beyond and are so passionate about what they do and it shows! The facilities they offer are outstanding and the food they supply is amazing! I am so happy we picked this nursery for our little boy in the short time he's been attending his speech has improved, and is always so happy, tired and had the best day when we pick him up. I will always recommend this nursery to everyone!

Staff are so amazing and friendly. My son started in September and transitioned very easily and loves going to nursery. He always comes home shattered so it shows how much of a busy and fun time he's been having! Can't fault the nursery and they are always quick when replying to emails and communication is excellent. The food menus are also excellent.

Lancing Day Nursery has become so important for our family having moved down to Lancing last year. The staff and facilities are excellent, and we love the community feel of the hub. Our youngest child will be joining early next year, and it's so nice to feel confident that we'll have such great support.

The team are so friendly and amazing! Really considerate of my child's needs. I love the fact you can see how my child is getting on via the app and also that they take the time to give you feedback on the day when you go to collect them.

We are extremely happy that our 22-month-old goes to this nursery. We can't fault the facilities and the staff are so committed and passionate about what they do. They really nurture each and every child and cater to individual needs. They've really helped our son flourish and develop bonds with all staff on the Baby Snug team. Communication from the management team is excellent, thorough and really well coordinated. They really take all the heavy lifting off the parents with their streamlined approach and, I feel, are always coming up with new ways to improve. Couldn't wish for more. Excited about moving up to Toddler Den next year.

My daughter started at this nursery when she turned 1 in September 2021 so it's been 2 years now and she has absolutely flourished. The staff are brilliant, really dedicated people with many many years of experience who love spending time with the children and teaching them new skills every day. My daughter's speech never stops amazing me and her personality is coming through thanks to the bond the staff has built with her. They often take the children for organised outings, to the shops, to the beach, to the library. The open days on Saturdays are such a lovely occasion to spend time with the staff, getting to know them better and hear the amazing things my daughter does there. I highly recommend this nursery, my daughter's having an amazing time. A massive thank you to all the hard work the staff puts in every single day. It can't be easy but they do an excellent job at looking after these children and it doesn't go unseen.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 1 year old. He has now left and started school. My son loved his time here and would always look forward to going. I found the staff friendly and always willing to help. My son built positive relationships with some of the staff members which I know he is going to miss. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a small establishment that caters for your children's individual needs.

My daughter loves to go to nursery now but when she started nursery she didn't like to go in. The staff are so good and handle her with love and care, especially her key worker. My daughter loves her and of course, she treats her so well that’s why she loves to go to nursery. Overall all the staff are so good and my daughter learns so much. Definitely, my younger daughter will join soon because she loves this place.

The initial meeting and subsequent meeting with key workers prior to starting were two of the most positive interactions during her time there - they were knowledgeable, caring and focused on development. The nursery team typically greeted our child in a happy manner. Often we would pick our child up and be underwhelmed with the handover. The beach school was well received and nice to see the children leave the setting to learn. Although we got some updates via the app about development, there was a 1:1 parents' day meeting that was well led by their key worker - it would have been nice to have this more than once in the 14 months. The setting was run down especially the outside space but children often outside to enjoy the fresh air. Disappointed that take-home drawings etc were left to the child to collect and screw up in their bag, offered to bring in a folder. A couple of episodes of potential allergy food given. An incident with injury not documented or handed over.

Our son joined the nursery in September 2022 as we had moved to the area and we needed longer daycare. The welcome we received on our first visit from a particular member of staff was exceptional, all staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the outdoor space was a complete surprise. Our son has had a great year there, with confidence gained, and friends made. Great relationships between staff and the kids which you see on drop off and pick up. Would very much recommend it.

We are super impressed by this nursery and they are incredibly receptive and positive to feedback. Our daughter is in preschool and came up from Toddlers last year. Recently we had a bout of behavioural issues that spiked which was incredibly upsetting for us as parents and we worked hard personally to tweak things to accommodate and work with her to understand feelings. I spoke to the manager to ask how we could work together to support her and she came up with some great tools, kept in regular contact with us, encouraged more positive language with staff to eliminate ‘bad day’ and ‘ not good day’ the staff were briefed and on board to support our child and we were matching similar techniques at home. It’s a result a he has really improved and is feeling happier in herself. The staff take an interest in the children’s hobbies and interests, always super friendly and approachable. The manager is a great leader for this team. The only feedback I would say is more pictures and updates.

The Baby Snug team have been very good with my little one especially within the last 7 weeks when we’ve had some big changes in our lives. They have been very supportive, caring and have continuously found ways to help my little one with her emotions/feelings. It is so reassuring to know they care about the well-being of the children under their care and are willing to adapt on a child-by-child basis.

Such an amazing setting, large outdoor space and supportive staff. Fresh homemade meals every day. My daughter has loved every minute of being there and is sad to now leave and go off to school. We have made so many friendships.

Great nursery. Always keeping the children busy with educational learning and no screen time. My son absolutely loves one staff member in particular and gets so excited to see her in the morning. It makes the drop-off so much nicer knowing he is with someone he loves.

We love the Lancing Nursery family and have both our children attending currently. The staff are very thoughtful and kind. Our daughter took her very first independent steps this week in the baby snug and her teachers took the time to video this so we could share the experience too. Our son loves being outdoors, getting his hands dirty in the sand pit and playing with blocks and this is encouraged at the nursery too. We are very grateful for the positive experience both our children are having here currently, and it gives us confidence that whilst we go to work our children are safe.

Been really happy with the care at this nursery, my son has loved attending. The staff are all lovely and have a real mix of experience. He really loves it when they do trips out to the beach and always comes home singing nursery rhymes. I will definitely send my other children here when it’s time.

We moved to the area and chose this nursery for our then 2.5 year old daughter. She settled quickly and loves going. The staff have encouraged her, especially with toilet training. Our baby daughter has just started too and its going well.
28 October 2022
Lovely staff. My daughter loves going in every day and she is learning so much with them. They have improved the menu. But I am still not happy with pudding for every meal. I'm sure there is no need to give kids sugar when they are so young. And it is hard to tell one kid they can't have it when all their friends are having it.
