March 26, 2018 at 12:00 amBoth my children (son now 7, daughter 4) have attended Hilltop Nursery from a very young age and have both loved it. The staff are amazing- nurturing, fun and engaging. The setting is small enough not to feel overwhelming for very little ones and the green outdoor garden is a fantastic space to play. Hilltop has been a wonderful environment for my little ones and would thoroughly recommend.

July 20, 2018 at 12:00 amHilltop is a wonderful nursery. My son has been attending for 9 months and loves it. The staff are engaging, enthusiastic and caring. My son took a while to settle as it was his first experience and childcare and all the staff were so patient with him. I would not hesitate to recommend Hilltop Nursery. We are more than happy we found this nursery.

August 8, 2019 at 12:00 amThis is a great Nursery with a huge variety of activities for the kids to do. The garden also has plenty to do, including a ‘mud garden’!
This Nursery is also able to provide flexibility with childcare hours and days, which is really helpful for working parents.
Both my children have attended Hilltop Nursery over the last 4 years and both have loved it there and especially the staff, who are so welcoming and responsive to each child’s different needs.
I would definitely recommend this Nursery to any parent.

August 29, 2019 at 12:00 amThe staff at the nursery have a brilliant understanding of my child’s needs and understand the importance of challenging them. They use the outdoor space really well and have a good staff balance between senior members and trainers (staff in education). I also really like the communication between staff and parents by using the Famly app which means I can have fast and efficient communication.

August 29, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son attended Hilltop for two years and loved it, especially the garden with the mud kitchen and active fun and games with nursery children of all ages. He learnt a lot about caring for others from being with them. He was sad to leave friends and lovely teachers to start big school! The staff went out of their way to be friendly, helpful and accommodating. The flexibility of each day is greater than any nursery I know of and very welcome for some days when work or other personal commitments need it. The door is now open for my youngest son who will be doing some stay and play sessions when I work on-site and I am confident he will also be very happy there. There are other sites around Sussex too if they suit your location better.

August 29, 2019 at 12:00 amHilltop provides a fun, caring environment with very open and attentive staff. They were extremely flexible when it came to introducing nursery/transition arrangements for our little one to get used to being left at nursery. It’s small so doesn’t feel overwhelming and there’s a large outdoor space. The app for invoicing, news, photos, progress reports, communicating with parents etc. is a really useful feature.

October 1, 2019 at 12:00 amHilltop is such a friendly and fantastic nursery. Our baby just settled immediately at eleven months and kicks with delight as soon as she sees the nursery. She loves the garden and the staff are so great at spending so much of the day with the children in the garden. The staff are incredibly caring and our little one loves them. They really provide reassurance and a personal service for you as the parent too. We couldn’t be happier. Being a smaller nursery I really feel like the staff go the extra mile for each and every little one. And the young children really grow in confidence in that environment.

September 27, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff is absolutely amazing. Staff welcomed my son so friendly, they make sure that my son settles well and kept me updated of his settling in process so I wouldn’t worry. The whole staff members at the nursery are very welcoming and caring prioritising the child needs and wishes.
A massive thank you to everyone for their care.

October 10, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot give enough praise for Hilltop Nursery. My son has attended twice weekly for over a year and has the most fabulous time. He is thriving thanks to the care, encouragement and support that all members of the team provide. We have noticed his language skills and his manners develop rapidly following each session – I feel that some of this is because of the multi-age free play times that they have as a result of being a smaller nursery. They spend lots of time in the garden each day and my son loves this fresh air, no matter the weather. The staff know the children well and build excellent nurturing relationships. The communication is effective, both through the Famly app and in person at the end of each day. The nursery team are flexible and always willing to accommodate extra sessions if these are possible. We are so grateful for everyone at Hilltop!

October 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Hilltop Nursery since July 2020 when she was just a year old. My son also attended who has since started school.
This is an outstanding nursery. I have never had any concerns about leaving my children in the care of the fantastic staff here. They are kind, caring and so skilled. A wealth of experience knowledge and advice.
Throughout some of the darkest months of covid lockdowns, the fantastic team provided light and happiness for my children during their time at nursery.
My children have flourished here, the very skilled team have extended their learning fantastically, and have helped them to build positive, trusting, kind relationships with adults and other children.
I cannot imagine a safer set of hands to leave my children in.

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amHilltop nursery is a wonderful nursery. Friendly and professional staff who are always happy to help and chat about the little ones. The children are kept busy with lots of fun and educational activities and have free-flow access to a lovely garden. Our little boy really enjoys his time at Hilltops.

March 17, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children, aged almost 4 and almost 1, currently attend Hilltop Nursery. My son who has been going for 2 years absolutely loves going here and asks “Is it nursery today?” most days! My daughter who started when she was 9 months has settled in well, all the staff have been so nurturing and adaptive to both their needs. We get frequent updates on how they have been and lots of pictures. Communication between the staff and myself has been excellent both in person or via the app. All the staff here are fantastic and I do not hesitate to leave my children with them. They spend lots of time outside whatever the weather and they love getting muddy and learning through messy outdoor play! I would 100% recommend this nursery- It is fantastic and I will be sad when the nursery days are over.
