Elan Preschool, Haywards Heath

My second child is currently at Elan, both have really enjoyed their time here. The staff are really caring, and the manager always addresses questions or feedback in a very constructive manner. My two children have gained a lot of independence through attending, as well as a solid grounding in letters and numbers ahead of starting at school. The food cooked on-site is high quality and the mealtime routines are great for the children to eat more independently than at home, using cutlery by themselves etc.

My son joined preschool in June and has settled in extremely quickly. He had only recently changed nurseries following our move from London, so I was a bit nervous about another change but had absolutely no need to worry. He enjoys his days, talks lots about things he has done and is really happy. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We are extremely happy there.

Our daughter started at Elan Pre School at the beginning of June and truth be told, we were a bit apprehensive as to how well she would settle in having been at home with me (her mum) for the best part of 8 months. This was short-lived! She ran into ‘school’ and hardly even looked round to say goodbye. This is thanks to the amazing preschool set up and the extremely kinds and welcoming staff. We cannot praise and thank them enough for making our daughter feel welcome and right at home from day one. Thank you to the manager and also to your wonderful team.

I can’t rate Elan Preschool highly enough.
My daughter loves it there and is supported and nurtured there.
In regards to communication as a parent, Elan are open and understanding to family needs and change in circumstances and have been clear and reflexive throughout the COVID pandemic.
Food is of a high standard too and my daughter will often request meals she has had at nursery at home.
My daughter will be sad to leave when she starts school.

Both my children went to Elan and I cannot rate them highly enough. Elan has a knack of recruiting the most wonderful staff that are caring, fun and full of energy. Both my children loved every minute and have emerged as happy, confident children, ready for school. The activities are well structured and varied and provide a lovely balance of free play, physical activity and learning opportunities. I’ve always felt the staff know my children really well and are tailoring activities to their development/ability. I’m told the food is better than at home.
More generally, the preschool is well run, with great parent communications, really efficient admin on the bills side, clear policies and management that really welcome and respond to parent feedback. I’ve even turned to them for advice when I’ve been worried about a parenting issue and they will always help. I asked my daughter ‘Why do you like preschool?’ and she said ‘because I laugh so much.’ I think that says it all.

Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath is such a great place for kids. My daughter absolutely loves going there and comes home everyday excited about what she was up to that day. They are not only about childcare but big on learning too. Staff is doing amazing job looking after and teaching our next generation. They should be all very proud of themselves for what they are doing and achieving everyday. If you are looking for childcare Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath is place to go.

My three-year-old daughter attends Elan Pre-School three days a week, having moved up from the nearby nursery site last year. She is delighted to go each day and comes out at the end of the day full of smiles and stories of what she’s been upto. Her language and reasoning have clearly come on since she has been there. Overall, the most telling thing for me though leaving my child at Elan while I’m at work is that she talks about the staff at home and refers to them as her friends, and is clearly very happy there. Our new baby will go to both sites in due course, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elan Pre-School to others. My thanks to the staff.

My son has attended Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath for the past one and a half years and prior to this attended Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath from the age of six months. He really enjoys the preschool. They provide a broad range of activities for the children throughout the day, great facilities and the opportunities to take part in additional sports and music activities. The setting provides a safe and happy environment for all the children, with wonderful and friendly staff. I would recommend this setting to others without any hesitation.

Our little boy absolutely loves Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath, all of the staff are amazing, warm, welcoming and hugely generous with their time. They always take time to share stories of the funny things that my son gets up to each day. We were previously at a nursery in London and since joining Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath have seen a significant leap in my sons learning. He loves writing his name, recognizing letters and singing the phonics song. The variety of activities are brilliant, with the staff making every effort to take the kids out on trips or spend time in the garden. I couldn’t speak more highly of Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath and would recommend to everyone!

My daughter has loved Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath from the minute we moved her to there in January 2020. The teachers are all fantastic and she speaks of everyone of them so highly. The activities are engaging and she always comes home saying she’s had the best day. I would highly recommend Elan Preschool – Haywards Heath.
