    The team are very attentive, supportive and interested, and the facilities are excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our kid’s childcare centre care. Young Sussex have been exceptional with our kid, who started in autumn 2022.

    They have seen my kids from baby to school age, which has created lovely relationships.
    The team are remarkable, and they consistently do different activities with the kids. Lovely food and snacks and there is a lovely feeling in each of the rooms. My kids have made lots of friends through Young Sussex and have been very cheerful there.
    The office is very quick to respond and has consistently been flexible and understanding with our freelance jobs and needing to swap sessions. Would definitely suggest this childcare centre, and I have looked at quite a few in the local area. Both my son and daughter have been through Young Sussex, and the team and management are the same since we joined in 2018, which is a excellent sign.

    He was only in this room a few months before lockdown but settled well and enjoyed it. Most of his time was spent in the pre-school room and what a fantastic job they did helping him grow into the confident little man who just joined school! The incredible team did a remarkable job – even during the stop-start of lockdown, giving our family a sense of normality when everything else was crazy! The activities arranged were varied, the team enjoyable and attentive and my son thoroughly enjoyed his time here. I would highly suggest it. My son started here in the toddlers’ room after the abrupt closure of his previous childcare centre.

    The team have gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comforted and he’s had lots of cuddles whilst he finds his feet. When I collect him he’s smiling and gives big smiles at all the team as we leave. He’s very comfortable in the space and has been napping brilliantly. I’ve been so encouraged by how well he’s got into the swing of things. The team are so attentive and considerate and you get a really thorough update on collection and throughout the day. The kids in the room all seem cheerful and content and it’s a lovely atmosphere. I can’t suggest Young Sussex highly enough. Management have been really supportive, welcoming and straightforward to deal with which is fantastic. They’ve taken a lot of the stress out of this new transition for us as a family. My 11-month-old son started at Young Sussex two weeks ago and I have been so pleased with how well he’s settled.

    My little one created an outstanding bond with all of her educators and I could definitely see on a daily basis how much her skills improved by attending childcare centre. All of the educators are extremely well‑informed and attentive. Plus they ensure to keep parents consistently updated on the kid’s development and milestones. I would suggest Young Sussex Hove to any parent who is looking for outstanding care of their kids. My daughter attended Young Sussex Hove and I cannot stress enough how outstanding all of the team is.

    My 2-year-old struggled in the beginning due to COViD and not really attending any baby groups or similar settings. However, the team at Young Sussex were so lovely and patient; they’ve helped her settle really nicely, and she loves going now. She loves all the team there and talks a lot about them. My one-year-old smiles the minute we walk through the gate! I highly suggest; they take incredible care of the kids and communicate verbally at pick up, which is lovely. All their team are lovely and very welcoming. Both my daughters started this September at Young Sussex.

    The team are all lovely and you can tell by their eyes they are all smiling under their masks.
    The additional COVID-19 related restrictions make some aspects of childcare centre life a little more tricky. For example, not being able to properly go into the childcare centre at drop off and pick up and not seeing the other kids’s names above pegs so not being able to ask about them (she only remembers one friend’s name). But considering all the challenges the team have had to overcome these are very small details. My daughter has settled in really quickly and loves playing with everything at childcare centre.

    She’s now ready to go to school in September. It’s given her a foundation, socially in mixing with other kids and being able to be seated with the kids and learn things with lots of playtime.
    Her childcare centre leader and the team consistently had something different to do to stimulate the kids and would get them outdoors as much as the weather allowed (or not!). There were consistently new ideas for things the kids can do, and of course, friends to make, discovering to interact with them and share and playtime together.
    She has enjoyed her time, and it’s given her a foundation making her ready to go to school in September. Our daughter started at Young Sussex from the age of three, so during the difficult period of lockdown.

    We don’t have enough words to explain how much she liked the time she spent at Young Sussex and how comfortable and secure we were too. They helped her in so many different steps and the updates between childcare centre and us was incredible! The only thing we regret is we didn’t start bringing her here before. The exceptional people, ambient, help. Absolutely everything is perfect and I don’t hesitate to suggest it, it’s a shame they don’t have school too! My little one is attending here since last year and she’ll finish in 2 weeks time now, to start the big school!

    My daughter started there when she was two, and she is off to reception in September. Every single team member is expert and attentive, and the management team are very efficient! My daughter has speech and language difficulties, and the childcare centre has done so much to help her develop; she has come along so much in every way not just her speech. Even throughout Covid, they did so well to quickly adapt to restrictions. I can’t suggest Young Sussex enough! Thank you for everything you have done for my little one! Young Sussex is an incredible childcare centre!

    We have been so pleased with how quickly she settled and how much she enjoys her time there.
    The team are fantastic and so creative with the activities they do with the kids. You can really tell that they delight in their jobs and have a lot of enjoyable with the kids. I adore seeing all the updates and photos of what they have been up to!
    I’ve been very impressed with the updates and also the flexibility the childcare centre offers. Everyone has been so supportive – it’s been such a exceptional journey for us all. Our daughter started childcare centre at Young Sussex (Hove) in September.

    They have given our little boy a fantastic start in education. They are compassionate and attentive and build excellent relationships with the kids. It has been impressive to see how proactive they are in supporting kids. The updates on a daily basis is stellar, along with a regularly updated discovering journey. Activities, from what we saw, are well planned and enjoyable with some really fantastic experiences. I must also add that the office team are really supportive and communicate very well. I have never waited long for a reply to my queries. All in all, we can’t imagine a better preschool journey for our little boy. We have been so impressed with the team at Young Sussex.

    Management have been so flexible, understanding, attentive and compassionate that I can’t rate them highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble, they make me sense welcome and have shown even through lockdown, that they serve the needs of the kids first. The team are clearly well supported, cheerful and there is a palpable calm, attentive and welcoming atmosphere. Young Sussex Childcare centre really is a ‘home from home’, underpinned by the in-depth knowledge and skills demonstrated by all the team who have cared for my two. I’ve been kept up to date via the app with comments, pictures and in-depth reports showing the childcare centre’s commitment to helping the kids development. Updates is outstanding and I sense part of the Young Sussex family. My boys have really bonded with their key workers and other team. We are sad to leave and it will be an extremely hard transition for all of us, but especially for them. Both my sons attended Young Sussex Childcare centre (Hove) and have been cared for impeccably.

    We have been so impressed with the induction process, updates via the app regarding food and activities, the range of daily activities and things to do and the fantastic team in general. She is so cheerful and asks to go on her non-childcare centre days. In terms of practical things, they offer flexibility in hours with early starts that coincide with the local school’s breakfast clubs. We have been so cheerful with our experiences and would 100% suggest it. Our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter moved from another childcare centre to be closer to the local school.

    My son loves going to the childcare centre, enjoys his time there and comes back cheerful every day. He has learnt so much while at the childcare centre including speaking his first words and his updates has developed so much after going to this childcare centre. The team at the childcare centre is very communicative, open and provides as much information as possible during the handovers. I am especially impressed with the management of the childcare centre with communications and flexibility. It’s great to know that our son is in secure hands at this childcare centre and makes us very reassured and confident about his time there. Definitely suggest it to parents of young kids. Thank you. My son joined this childcare centre in October 2020 (age 18 months) and our journey so far has been pretty great.

    The team are so lovely and attentive. The management are also so excellent at being accommodating to changes. Overall we would highly suggest it. Both my boys go to Young Sussex (Ladybirds & Bumblebees) and adore it.

    We can’t praise the childcare centre or its’ team enough. Our son blossomed under their care and has sailed into primary with no issues whatsoever. The care and attention he received were second to none, and the bonds established with his educators will stay with him for a long time. The pre-school, in particular, is exemplary and ensures that even younger kids are more than ready to transition to primary school. We have been nothing but pleased with Young Sussex, and the fact that we have also chosen to send our second kid there, despite now not living especially close, says it all. Would highly suggest this childcare centre to all! Our son has recently graduated from Young Sussex Hove, having joined the childcare centre originally when he was 11-months-old.

    She has settled really quickly and enjoys her time at Childcare centre. Team are attentive, welcoming and expert. The observations of her discovering and development, show me that she is receiving a fantastic broad range of discovering opportunities and she consistently comes home with lots of stories about the enjoyable she has had with her new friends. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Childcare centre to others and am really cheerful that we chose to send my daughter to Young Sussex. I have been really impressed with the inviting welcome my daughter has received since starting at Young Sussex Childcare centre.

    We spent so long agonising over the perfect childcare centre, especially at such a young age. I have nothing but great things to say about the team and space. The manager is particularly receptive to any issues, excellent at updates and has been a massive assistance to our family multiple times. The activities are varied, the kids are cheerful and the team care.
    Three team members are excellent room leaders and appreciate all their guidance and care for my son. He starts school in September and we will massively miss this team. Thank you. My son has attended Young Sussex Childcare centre since he was 5 months old.

    Updates between childcare centre and home is clear and consistent. The whole team, from educators to office team are expert, welcoming and cheerful, even though I imagine all the anxieties of the last year have weighed heavily on them too. Our two youngest started in the middle of the pandemic, yet have settled in really well and for that, we have the care and spirit of the team to thank. Our oldest, in the pre-school room, loves the opportunity to socialise with her friends and do an array of enjoyable activities when lots of other options have recently been off the table. We suggest Young Sussex to everyone we know and are grateful it has been an anchor of joy and stability in a tough time. We now have three kids attending Young Sussex and it has become an essential part of our family setup.
