About this day nursery
Angmering Day Nursery, established in 2006 by owner Juliet, is set within a charming 1920s detached home in the tranquil village of Angmering. The nursery distinguishes itself by operating independently, not as part of a larger chain, which allows it to prioritise a child-centred approach over profit.
It offers exceptional care and education for children aged 2-5 years, maintaining consistently high standards and boasts excellent Ofsted ratings. The nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm, for 51 weeks of the year.
It provides a stimulating environment, including a spacious garden for exploration and a 'Mini Farm' where children engage in growing fruits and vegetables and caring for small animals. Meals are home-cooked, nutritious, and tailored for young children, with careful consideration for dietary needs.
The dedicated team focuses on providing a high staff-to-child ratio, ensuring a safe and nurturing atmosphere. The nursery embraces a flexible approach to early years learning, taking inspiration from various educational theories to create a personalised experience for each unique child.
They are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2026, marking two decades of commitment to early childhood development.

SEND provision
Managers make sure that all children receive their full entitlement to early years education. They work closely with professionals, such as physiotherapists and speech and language therapists. This supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Managers put detailed plans in place to enhance the opportunities available to these children.
