October 6, 2024 at 1:23 amHe learnt a lot about attentive for others from being with them. He was sad to leave friends and lovely educators to start big school! The team went out of their way to be welcoming, supportive and accommodating. The flexibility of each day is greater than any childcare centre 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 playtime sessions when I work on-site and I am confident he will also be very cheerful there. There are other sites around Sussex too if they suit your location better. My son attended Hilltop for two years and loved it, especially the garden with the mud kitchen and active enjoyable and games with childcare centre kids of all ages.

November 13, 2024 at 1:41 pmWelcoming and expert team who are consistently cheerful to help and chat about the little ones. The kids are kept busy with lots of enjoyable and educational activities and have free-flow access to a lovely garden. Our little boy really enjoys his time at Hilltops. Hilltop childcare centre is a fantastic childcare centre.

November 24, 2024 at 10:54 amMy son has attended twice weekly for over a year and has the most fabulous time. He is thriving thanks to the care, encouragement and assistance that all members of the team provide. We have noticed his language skills and his manners develop rapidly following each session – I sense that some of this is because of the multi-age free playtime times that they have as a result of being a smaller childcare centre. They spend lots of time in the garden each day and my son loves this fresh air, no matter the weather. The team know the kids well and build outstanding nurturing relationships. The updates is effective, both through the Famly app and in person at the end of each day. The childcare centre team are flexible and consistently willing to accommodate extra sessions if these are possible. We are so grateful for everyone at Hilltop! I cannot give enough praise for Hilltop Childcare centre.

December 17, 2024 at 5:26 amThey were extremely flexible when it came to introducing childcare centre/transition arrangements for our little one to get used to being left at childcare centre. It’s small so doesn’t sense overwhelming and there’s a large outdoor space. The app for invoicing, news, photos, development reports, communicating with parents etc. is a really useful feature. Hilltop provides a enjoyable, attentive setting with very open and attentive team.

January 8, 2025 at 2:39 amThe team are incredible- nurturing, enjoyable and engaging. The setting is small enough not to sense overwhelming for very little ones and the green outdoor garden is a remarkable space to playtime. Hilltop has been a fantastic setting for my little ones and would thoroughly suggest. Both my kids (son now 7, daughter 4) have attended Hilltop Childcare centre from a very young age and have both loved it.

February 16, 2025 at 9:11 amMy son has been attending for 9 months and loves it. The team are engaging, enthusiastic and attentive. My son took a while to settle as it was his first journey and childcare and all the team were so patient with him. I would not hesitate to suggest Hilltop Childcare centre. We are more than cheerful we found this childcare centre. Hilltop is a fantastic childcare centre.

February 24, 2025 at 6:47 pmThey use the outdoor space really well and have a great team balance between senior members and trainers (team in education). I also really like the updates between team and parents by using the Famly app which means I can have fast and efficient updates. The team at the childcare centre have a exceptional understanding of my kid’s needs and understand the importance of challenging them.

March 8, 2025 at 4:07 amThe garden also has plenty to do, including a ‘mud garden’!
This Childcare centre is also able to provide flexibility with childcare hours and days, which is really supportive for working parents.
Both my kids have attended Hilltop Childcare centre over the last 4 years and both have loved it there and especially the team, who are so welcoming and responsive to each kid’s different needs.
I would definitely suggest this Childcare centre to any parent. This is a excellent Childcare centre with a huge variety of activities for the kids to do.

April 6, 2025 at 5:26 pmOur baby just settled immediately at eleven months and kicks with delight as soon as she sees the childcare centre. She loves the garden and the team are so excellent at spending so much of the day with the kids in the garden. The team are incredibly attentive 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 childcare centre I really sense like the team go the extra mile for each and every little one. And the young kids really grow in self‑assurance in that setting. Hilltop is such a welcoming and remarkable childcare centre.

April 9, 2025 at 5:35 pmMy son who has been going for 2 years absolutely loves going here and asks “Is it childcare centre today?” most days! My daughter who started when she was 9 months has settled in well, all the team have been so nurturing and adaptive to both their needs. We get frequent updates on how they have been and lots of pictures. Updates between the team and myself has been outstanding both in person or via the app. All the team here are remarkable and I do not hesitate to leave my kids with them. They spend lots of time outside whatever the weather and they adore getting muddy and discovering through messy outdoor playtime! I would 100% suggest this childcare centre- It is remarkable and I will be sad when the childcare centre days are over. Both my kids, aged almost 4 and almost 1, currently attend Hilltop Childcare centre.

This is an outstanding childcare centre. I have never had any concerns about leaving my kids in the care of the remarkable team here. They are compassionate, attentive and so skilled. A wealth of journey knowledge and advice.
Throughout some of the darkest months of covid lockdowns, the remarkable team provided light and happiness for my kids during their time at childcare centre.
My kids have flourished here, the very skilled team have extended their discovering fantastically, and have helped them to build positive, trusting, compassionate relationships with adults and other kids.
I cannot imagine a safer set of hands to leave my kids in. My daughter has attended Hilltop Childcare centre since July 2020 when she was just a year old.
