  Our son has been at Bright Horizons Cromwell Road for just over a year now after transitioning from a nearby nursery. At the time he moved, he was already three years old and very settled in his previous setting, so the decision to move him was not something we took lightly. Due to circumstances beyond our control we unfortunately had to make the change, and naturally we were quite nervous about how he would adapt. Thankfully, those nerves were quickly put to rest. From the moment we arrived, the team made both our son and us feel so welcome. Looking back now, it was the best move we could have made. Over the past year we have seen our little boy truly flourish. What stood out from the beginning was how much care the team took to get to know him as an individual. They really took the time to understand his personality, interests and needs. Our son is a very energetic and enthusiastic little boy, and sometimes children like him can be quickly labelled or placed into a box. What has been so refreshing about this nursery is that this has never been the case. The team genuinely celebrate each child’s individuality and encourage them to grow in their own way. Over the past year they have nurtured his love of reading, creativity and imaginative play. We’ve also noticed how much the nursery encourages kindness and caring for others, which has been lovely to see reflected in him at home too. As well as showing kindness in the setting, kindness in the community is also encouraged. At Christmas, they took an offsite trip to a nearby nursing home - our boy was delighted to be selected as part of a small group to visit residents. He was brimming with pride to have this experience, as were we his parents. His key worker Daisy deserves a special mention. She is a hugely skilled, warm and positive practitioner who clearly cares deeply about the children she works with. Knowing that she has been at the nursery for ten years is incredibly reassuring. In fact, many members of the team have been there for years, which really speaks volumes about the supportive and positive environment the nursery has created for both staff and children. Marisa and Becca are clearly doing a wonderful job as management. The team are also very communicative and supportive with parents, which makes a big difference. We always feel informed about what our son has been doing during the day and how he is progressing. My only previous criticism has been that the interiors are a little tired and the preschool rooms being based in the basement initially raised a small concern for us. However, the children regularly spend time in the garden and other areas of the building, and the exciting refurbishment that is currently underway is already making a big difference and the pre-school will be moving floors. It’s great to see this investment being made, and the nursery is already starting to look fantastic. Most importantly, our son is happy, confident and excited to go to nursery each day, which says everything. We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a warm and nurturing environment for him. We also have another baby on the way and will be very happy for them to join the Bright Horizons family when the time comes.

  Brighton Horizons was first recommended by a friend who had registered their baby. As soon as we had a look around at one of their open days we fell in love with the nursery. It has a real homely feel which I love as I didn’t want my daughter to be at a nursery which had a more clinical setting. The staff are all so friendly and took a huge interest in our daughter and our little family. They have amazing outside space and take regular outings which I felt was so important for when my little girl starts in the new year. Since registering we have been attending their free baby sensory classes on Fridays that anyone can attend. It is such a relaxed but engaging space and my baby loves it each week. I really feel seeing the other babies has really helped her development. I couldn’t recommend it more and I can’t wait for my daughter to start soon.

  We absolutely love Bright Horizons Hove Day Nursery! The building is beautiful, and the garden is amazing. The team is fantastic—personable, professional, and trustworthy. Our daughter has thrived over the past few years and has had so much fun along the way. They put so much thought and care into the activities they plan for the children. We couldn’t fault the nursery at all—they truly go above and beyond. A special shout-out to Becca, Bronte, Bethan, Charli, and Marisa for making this such a wonderful experience for both us as parents and our daughter.

  This is without doubt the best nursery in Hove and we've tried multiple. The development within my little one is highly noticeable and he always comes back from nursery excited about the day he's had. This nursery truly goes above and beyond and forms strong relationships with all the young people. I cannot thank the staff enough for the way they care and assist in the development of my little one and would highly recommend this nursery to everyone who wants the best for their child.
