I have had both of my girls grow up in Hove Village for the last 4 years. They have been so happy and encouraged and I have loved them being there as a parent. I have trusted in the staff fully and felt kept up to date and that my babies were well looked after. Very sad our time with them has ended but they were part of an excellent start for them both. Thank you all.

I am overwhelmed with happiness because of the care and creativity at Hove Village Nursery. My 4-year-old has flourished at your setting as she has been given the space and, most importantly, the understanding she needed to get over some bad past experiences at previous settings which led to built-up anxiety. I have done work on myself as a parent too which has also been a massive factor as I have learnt to change my approaches to her needs. This will change as she grows older and has different challenges. However, a child's start in life is important to set the tone for the future, so I am glad she ended her preschool life at Hove Village. She is very ready for school and was the happiest and most excited yesterday as we visited her new school.

Hove Village is an excellent nursery that both my children have attended from a young age and we've always had a great level of care. Following the upgrade of outdoor facilities, these have certainly improved but could further benefit from other outdoor resources. Staff have always been friendly and provided feedback/ detailed overviews via the app.

My daughter has been at Hove Village for a year now and the whole team have been fantastic. I found it very hard to leave her in the beginning and truthfully I wasn't ready to leave her and go back to work but Hove Village were brilliant and made it so much easier. The staff always sent me a reassuring message, updating me on her activities after a tricky drop-off and were so kind and understanding. Photos and updates throughout the day via the app are a pleasure to receive and really help when you're missing your little person. The staff in general are so lovely and were great at supporting through potty training too. The children do loads of activities such as yoga, dancing, rugby etc and visit the park regularly. The food at the nursery is fantastic and smells amazing every day I pick her up. I would recommend HV anyone and do it regularly.

We have been really happy with Hove Village, our daughter started in January 2024, all the staff have been so lovely and really helping her to settle in! We feel very comfortable with the care she is receiving as well as all the activities and the food seems fab too!

My daughter loves Hove Village. She feels safe and happy which is always evident at drop off where she happily goes to the educators for a hug and some breakfast. She is well cared for - sun cream is always reapplied when going outside, always encouraged to drink water and is provided with healthy meals that she loves. The education is child-centred and child-led with lots of exciting activities during the week including children's rugby and music. I highly recommend this nursery.

Hove Village has good facilities, great surrounding areas, fun activities for the children and most staff is lovely. My child has settled well, enjoys the time they spent at nursery and is happy to attend.

My little boy has been going to Hove Village Day Nursery since he was 10 months old (he’s now 2). From the get-go, he created such a special bond with his key workers and that continued each time he moved up a room. The nursery itself is very clean and they have a beautiful garden, as well as backing onto the park, which is amazing because they take trips to the beach and park. The food is all freshly cooked at the nursery and the smells on drop off and pick up are amazing! The variety is also great. I’ve never had a doubt here, all the staff are wonderful and my little boy’s development has been incredible.

My daughter has thrived since starting this nursery, she has come on leaps and bounds and is excited to go every week! I don’t think I’ve ever had her cry about leaving me. The staff are amazing and so genuine. I can’t fault this nursery one little bit. Love the extra classes they receive like rugby classes and yoga, just great details that sets this nursery above others.

From day one we felt so welcomed at the nursery, everyone from the reception, educators, cleaners, management always takes the time to say hello and ask after you and your child. Our boy has been at the nursery about seven months and has settled in so well. There always seems to be a big variety of activities and themed learning for the children as well as amazing sounding food! The educators are also great at staying in touch and giving snapshots of the activities in a given week. Couldn’t be happier with the care Hove Village are giving our child.

Initially, my child was not well-versed in English. But since 1 month, she has been communicating well in English, and narrates all her experiences in nursery and we are very pleased with her verbal growth and development. At the start, my child feared going to this nursery. But nowadays I can frankly say that my child really enjoys going to nursery. She loves all the activities at the nursery environment. She doesn’t feel a bore time over there. I hope I’ve given true feedback, considering nursery as a part of my family. Thanks for all.

We’ve had a great year at Hove Village. Our child has gone from feeling quite anxious about going to nursery to absolutely loving it, and that’s definitely to the credit of the lovely staff looking after him. He’s constantly doing amazing activities from dance, to rugby tots, to yoga, to music, to bread making! It’s very clear to me that he’s having a great experience.

My son has been at Hove Village for almost 3 years and during this time has thrived. We feel so happy and confident that he is in a nurturing environment with not only people who care about him and his wellbeing but also a place where he gets to experience so many incredible learning opportunities. The educators are second to none. Hove Village honestly feels like a second family and a home away from home for our children. Our daughter, now 14 months also started not long ago and she is going from strength to strength in the wonderful care of Wrens. The educators have formed such bonds with her and it’s so beautiful to see. We couldn’t be more thankful for the experience we’ve had at Hove Village and I wish the kids could stay there forever!

Hove Village, what can we say. Our little boy loves you, as do we! As an ex-nursery nurse, I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about leaving my baby with strangers; given that he was born 9 weeks early and so small when he started, it just felt wrong, but you all made the transition into nursery so easy and smooth. The photos and observations show how much fun he is having and how settled he is, that we didn't have to worry. Since joining the nursery, our little man has come on in leaps and bounds. He is developing so much and his character is growing and it is largely down to you. Your kindness, love, care and attention are second to none and we will be forever grateful for everything you do for him and us. Damon has built strong relationships with all of the staff and is always so happy to come in every time. We think you're all amazing. Keep up the good work. All the best.

I'm so happy to find this nursery they are so kind and they do the best for my boy everywhere is clean. I'm lucky to have found Hove Village, my son is so happy and excited all the time, all the staff are so kind. I’m lucky to find Hove Village, thank you all.

My daughter has been so happy at Hove Village. The staff are always really friendly and accommodating and leave me feeling reassured. The activities are creative and varied and the majority child-led which my daughter loves.

Our twin boys have been attending Hove Village Nursery since they were 13 months old (March 2022 they started) and every day I have always felt so confident handing them over. They settled in so quickly and I put that down to the great care and support from all the educators and other staff. They work tirelessly providing a constant stream of activities for the children, indoor and outdoor play, and all the messy play I am grateful for that happens at nursery! The menu is excellent, with so much variety. My rating is based on what I see from my boys, which is smiles, laughing, tops covered in paint and glitter, they are so happy to be there. I 100% recommend this nursery. Thank you

I have found the care my son receives at Hove Village to be a great standard. All the staff positively interacted with him both in his specific room and throughout the nursery. In the last 6 weeks, some challenging behaviours were observed from him. The team around him were very professional, proactive and supportive. As parents we felt respected and valued and following a number of interactions, always felt the well-being of both our child and the other children was the primary concern, without any sense of judgement or criticism. My son is encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities and it is wonderful that the team genuinely make use of the fantastic location by regularly playing in the park and going down to the beach. The new management has been a breath of fresh air throughout the nursery and I truly believe this is reflected in the experience my child receives every day he attends.

We have two children in Hove Village and both of them absolutely love it. All the nursery staff know their names, even the staff that haven’t directly taught them. It is expensive, but I guess all childcare options are, however, I do feel that the children get a much richer experience than other nurseries and that makes it worth it for me!

Our daughter has attended Hove Village since she turned one when I had to return to work so has been attending for almost 3 years, it was daunting leaving her anywhere but she has really blossomed no doubt in part due to the fantastic time she has had at nursery. We have always felt completely confident leaving her there due to the brilliant staff who provide such a caring and nurturing environment. She is always beaming when I collect her and I love getting the updates throughout the day showing the great range of activities she has been enjoying. Choosing the right nursery is a personal decision and for us, Hove Village has been such a happy experience, we can’t fault it. Plus the food seems much better than what I have for my lunch!
