Bright Horizons Rose Cottage, Haywards Heath Day Nursery and Preschool

About this day nursery

Bright Horizons Rose Cottage Day Nursery and Preschool provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children in Haywards Heath. With a focus on the unique developmental journey of each child, the nursery implements 'The Nurture Approach,' integrating learning and emotional well-being to foster happy and healthy growth.

The highly skilled and dedicated staff prioritise the safety and development of every child, offering a supportive atmosphere where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and build strong relationships. The nursery also emphasises the importance of settling-in sessions, which are non-chargeable and can begin up to six weeks before a child's start date, allowing both children and parents to become familiar with the environment and build trust with their key person.

This personalised approach ensures a smooth transition and a positive start to their nursery experience, with staff working closely with families to accommodate individual routines and needs. Healthy, freshly prepared meals are also a key component of the nursery's offering.

Our ethos

Bright Horizons' ethos centres on providing exceptional care and education, ensuring every child feels safe, loved, and supported. Their core philosophy, 'The Nurture Approach,' champions the idea that learning and emotional well-being are intrinsically linked. They are dedicated to fostering an environment where children can build strong, trusting relationships with their key person, enabling them to explore, learn, regulate emotions, and develop crucial skills. The nursery is committed to creating a positive and smooth transition for both children and families, offering non-chargeable settling-in sessions to ensure comfort and familiarity before a child's official start. They also prioritise communication with parents to understand each child's individual needs and preferences, promoting a sense of belonging and well-being within the nursery community. Bright Horizons strives to create 'extraordinary, thriving, happy, special places' where children can flourish.

Babies feel secure with staff and toddlers confidently explore their environments, showing good imagination. Older children are good communicators, engaging with staff and visitors about what they observe in the surrounding farmland.
