About this day nursery

Bright Horizons Shoreham-by-sea Day Nursery and Preschool is part of a large network of nurseries across the UK, dedicated to providing high-quality care and early education. The nursery prides itself on its "Nurture Approach," which integrates learning with emotional well-being, fostering a supportive environment where children can thrive.

They emphasise the role of dedicated practitioners in guiding children through their developmental journey, ensuring a safe and engaging atmosphere. The curriculum, named "Bright Beginnings," focuses on five key learning areas, incorporating practical and life skills through various activities.

The nursery also highlights the importance of outdoor play, offering spaces, Forest School programmes, and involvement in Eco-Schools to benefit children’s development. They provide comprehensive support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and offer detailed settling-in sessions to ensure a smooth transition for both children and their families, tailoring the process to individual needs.

The nursery also actively assists parents in navigating childcare funding options.

Our daughter has been going here for three years, and she loves it! The staff are amazing, really friendly and caring. They are wonderful at offering advice to help guide her development, and are very supportive for two busy working parents. Highly recommend!
