About this day nursery

Bright Start at Tarner Children's Centre, established in 2020 in Brighton, offers childcare for children from birth to school age. The day nursery ensures a well-planned curriculum where staff gather detailed information about each child to tailor activities to their individual needs and interests.

The daily routine balances interesting activities and free access to both indoor and outdoor play spaces. The committed team is supported by robust recruitment and vetting systems, with ongoing professional development, including recent training in supporting children's communication and language skills.

The centre places a strong emphasis on safeguarding, with a secure separate entrance and regular child protection training for all staff. Bright Start at Tarner Children's Centre also prioritises close collaboration with parents and other services to ensure a consistent approach to children's learning and development.

They use various strategies to engage families, including an online app, Zoom meetings, and workshop sessions. The day nursery is also committed to supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language (EAL), valuing and including each child as an individual.

Staff are supported to use appropriate strategies to help children develop good behaviour and learn to manage their emotions, while encouraging independence. The latest inspection on 07/12/2022 confirmed that the provision meets requirements, though no judgment on the quality of early years provision was made due to the absence of children during the inspection.
