October 24, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Robins Nest for over 2 years and loves it. From the baby room through to the pre-school area, it’s been a wholly supportive, creative and caring environment. I can’t recommend it highly enough. All the staff are really friendly, helpful and lovely people. The online resource to look at photos of what he’s been up to and see the types of activities/things he’s learning is great. My youngest will start in the baby room in a few months and I’m looking forward to seeing him enjoy Robins Nest and blossom as much as my eldest has.

November 1, 2018 at 12:00 amAbsolute positive. Since my daughter started going to nursery she has gained confidence, she is more friendly and chatty and she has learned many English words. She is having a lot of fun in the nursery.
The nursery workers are kind, caring and I know when my daughter is there, she is in good hands and she is surrounded by love.
The staff are friendly and helpful when I am addressing any questions.
I am always being updated of my daughter’s development and that is reassuring.

August 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy two children have attended this nursery since we moved into the area last year. They absolutely love it as do I. The staff are just wonderful – really warm and caring and I totally trust that they will look after both of my children when I leave them with them. Food is lovely and freshly cooked and always caters for my kids allergies perfectly. Can not fault this place and would highly recommend it to any parent.

August 21, 2020 at 12:00 amRobin’s Nest has been a fantastic place for my two-year-old son to develop and just enjoy being a child. It is small and unpretentious with friendly and professional staff. He has been attending since he was 11-months-old and really benefited from being part of a small baby group with dedicated carers who know my son’s interests and particularities. I really appreciate that the nursery staff often use their judgment when my son displayed any signs of sickness and would be willing to monitor him rather than insist I pick him up immediately (present Covid-19 rules different of course). I am particularly happy with the food that they serve which is freshly cooked on-site and introduces my son to flavours and textures that I struggle to get him to try at home. The only downside is that there is not a large outdoor play area but the children always seem so happy with what they have that it probably doesn’t matter to them!

November 10, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son attended Robins Nest from the age of 11 months through to graduating before starting school this year! I can’t recommend the staff and the nursery enough, they are so dedicated to providing the children with a safe and fun environment. Nothing is ever a problem and my son had such a great time there. They prepared him for school brilliantly with lots of phonics and pre-school based activities. I liked that it wasn’t a huge nursery either so each child had plenty of attention and no problem with safeguarding.

July 29, 2021 at 12:00 amThe whole team at Robins Nest are wonderful. My daughter has always loved coming to nursery and is always greeted with a big smile and enthusiasm. The communication is fantastic and we really enjoy looking at the pictures on tapestry of what she has been up to that week. She not only has an amazing bond with her key person but with all the grown-ups that look after her. As parents, we feel safe and comfortable dropping her off and that’s all we can ask for. As my daughter has been getting ready to transition to big school we have been supported as a whole family and thank you to Robins Nest for all the love and care you have provided over the last 2.5 years. My daughter will miss you all so much and you have been a huge part of her growth and confidence. Thank you.

July 30, 2021 at 12:00 amWe currently have two children at Robins Nest, one of them in the baby room and highly recommend it.
Our older son will start school this year.
Both really enjoy going to nursery. They do lots of arts and crafts which they bring home and the staff spend quality time with each and every one of them to teach them new things. Every month they discover new themes from transport and what grows to new books.
Every year there’s a nativity play – even during the pandemic they didn’t cancel it, but made every effort to make it happen and recorded it for everyone to watch afterwards.
Last but not least, the food is outstanding: e.g. Thai Green Curry, dhal, lots of fruits and veg.

April 4, 2022 at 12:00 amRobins Nest has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter who is fourteen months. She has settled in really well thanks to the lovely staff and she absolutely loves it! The staff are fantastic and they always have fun events for the children to do whether it’s baking, arts and crafts or playing outside. They also have a really healthy menu, with a great variety of meals, cooked by the on-site chef. I can’t recommend Robins Nest enough!

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been at Robins Nest Day Nursery since he was 8-months old and every day I thank our lucky stars that we can call Robins Nest Day Nursery our son’s nursery. Choosing a nursery was always going to be a hard task for us as we lost our firstborn so trusting people with our rainbow baby was always going to be full of emotions. We need not of worried because we only have praise and lovely experiences to share. Our son is so happy to go into nursery every day and I only ever get tears when I go to pick him up. He clearly likes it there too much. Before our son started he had a reaction to egg and I am so grateful to the chef and the whole team for how accommodating they have been with this. Our son never misses out on any part of meals as they just adapt things for him. Being a lockdown baby it was important for us to get our son socialising so nursery was important for that. He has made some lovely friends and it is thanks to those friends and the staff that he has come on so well in his learning.

April 28, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has settled in really well after moving nursery settings, and very happy with the decision we made! Would highly recommend it if anyone is thinking of placing their child with Robins Nursery.

June 15, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have a 22 month old daughter at Robins Nest Day Nursery and honestly couldn’t be happier with the care, attention and experience she has had at this nursery since she was 12 months. We were anxious to choose the right nursery and are so glad we chose Robin’s Nest, as have had no problems and really trust the staff and know we are leaving our daughter in very good hands. The staff always go above and beyond to cater for our daughter’s needs, even suggesting ideas to us when we have needed support with something e.g. support with eczema, dietary requirements, learning how to spoon-feed herself. They are responsive and proactive, and it’s clear they know our daughter well and genuinely care about and have bonded with her. I am so glad we chose such a small nursery, as I really think the smaller number of children is what creates such a special, homely atmosphere, where everyone knows each other well and where staff have the time to care for the children very attentively.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth our girls have attended Robins Nest Day Nursery and we have found it great. We would recommend this nursery to anyone. We will miss it when our little girl starts school. The service they provide is reliable, reassuring and the children can do a wide range of activities. The food is also really great as they have their own chef who prepares healthy nutritious meals. Well done and thank you to Robins Nest Day Nursery for providing a great service to parents and a lovely safe environment for our children.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amRobins Nest Day Nursery is an amazing setting. All three of my children have been to Robins Nest. All have absolutely loved going. Moreover, they have all flourished during their time at Robins Nest. Developing skills both academic and social that stand them in good stead for the next stage of their journey.
The staff are kind and very knowledgeable. They care for the children a great deal and form lovely relationships with them as they progress through the nursery.
The nursery have been flexible where I have needed to add days or extend hours where staffing permits. Communication is excellent. I regularly get updates sent home through tapestry, and have a quick catch-up with the staff at the end of each session. They are quick to respond to emails and hold parents evenings for more in depth discussions.
After many years at Robins Nest, it will be sad to say goodbye this summer, as my youngest starts school. Your children will be in the best hands at Robins Nest.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending Robins Nest Day Nursery since September 2020 and has enjoyed the last 3 years to the fullest. He goes 3 days a week for full day sessions. He loves all of the Nursery Practitioners and is happy to be dropped off as early as 7am. He started off in the Baby-Room and as he got older transitioned into the Nursery setting. We as parents get kept informed through Tapestry of individual updates as well as the class updates too. The staff are always happy, helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. Our son is going to miss Robins Nest a massive amount when he goes to Primary School in September.
Thank you so much for helping our child grow into the happy and confident child he is today.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amWe moved our daughter to Robins Nest Day Nursery in September 2022 while pregnant with our 2nd child. Our last setting had left all of us anxious about the change but the staff were fantastic and the change in our daughter was instant and she settled straight away. The staff have always been supportive and welcoming of us all and no question or concern is too big or too small for them. They have helped hugely with both my fussy eaters with their encouraging, no pressure atmosphere, the chef has been fantastic with a constantly changing list of dietary requirements for my youngest on medical advice. Their support as my eldest prepares to transition to school has been invaluable for her and us and I cannot thank the team enough – I’m glad my youngest has a few years left as we’re not ready to say goodbye to the team just yet!

July 22, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at Robins Nest Day Nursery in Haywards Heath in September 2021. I can honestly say this nursery has been really great. Our daughter settled in well after having been a lockdown baby. The staff are wonderful. Always attentive and caring at all times. The children are happy and feel secure. Some of the nursery staff have been there for years so it is very well established. The nursery setting is very structured and the activities are well thought out. The atmosphere is happy and warming. Being a smaller nursery, it has felt like a close knit family and our daughter will be very sad to leave when it is time for big school. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

July 23, 2023 at 12:00 amThe care and attention for the children at Robins Nest Day Nursery is impeccable. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and loving towards the children. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and ability under their care, has learnt so much and is ready for school thanks to their attention, preparation and thoughtfulness.
Although the outside space is fairly small they have so many great games and activities and equipment it doesn’t matter. So pleased my son will continue here for a few more years. Would highly recommend as a nursery.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy second child to have attended Robins Nest Day Nursery from the age of 10 months is just about to leave ahead of starting school in September, and I can’t believe that it’s been nearly 7 years all in that Robins Nest have been part of our lives. Having attended full time my daughter has had the full experience, and adores all of her activities and grown-ups, not forgetting the wonder chef. Not only do Robins Nest look after your child – they will also look after and organise you. The staff will even say hello and stop in town to talk to your children (even the older ones who have left). A true home from home and the best nursery I could ever have chosen for my children. I have absolutely no regrets.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amOur youngest has had the best experience at Robins Nest Day Nursery. She has grown in confidence and loves going in every day. We are very sad to leave them as we head to big school.
Our selection was made for two reasons: 1) we needed a nurturing setting and professionals that would be open to new ideas to bring the best out of our daughter, and 2) they serve the most amazing, tasty and healthy range of food – we are delighted with how well her eating has progressed.
Thank you Robins Nest!

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has loved her time at Robins Nest! The whole team have been wonderful throughout her time there. Their care and attention has been perfect throughout her time there and she has made some wonderful bonds with staff and other children. We will all be very sad when she leaves for school next month.
