About this day nursery

Each Peach Forest School is an outstanding childcare setting in Newhaven, established in 2013, offering a vibrant and inclusive environment for children aged 0-5 years. Open all year round, each weekday from 8 am to 6 pm, the nursery ensures children experience a "fun-filled day ahead," as noted in their August 2025 Ofsted report.

The curriculum is highly ambitious, inspiring children to thrive and make outstanding progress from their individual starting points. The nursery places a strong emphasis on nurturing and responsibility, achieved through unique experiences like caring for rescued animals and cultivating their own produce in the allotment.

This teaches children valuable lessons about sustainability and caring for the planet, preparing them for modern life. The outdoor environment is expertly designed to ignite curiosity and encourage manageable risks, with spaces for climbing, jumping, swinging, potion-making, and den-building.

Specialist staff ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully included and meticulously assess individual needs to create tailored development programmes. Parents commend the staff for going "above and beyond" to support their children.

Regular outings into the Newhaven community further enrich children's understanding of their locality and their role within it.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

A successful targeted approach ensures that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access a fully inclusive curriculum. Specialist staff are meticulous in their assessment of children's needs. They swiftly identify gaps in children's learning and development and design a programme to promote their integration and development.

Outdoor space

The large outside environment is expertly designed to provide challenge and promote curiosity. Children are confident in taking manageable risks as they climb, jump and swing. They make potions and build dens in the trees. All areas effectively accommodate the needs of any children who need additional support. Children care for their own allotment, nurturing plants to provide food that they later cook.

Each Peach Forest School is a fantastic nursery! My son has been attending for the last year and absolutely loves it. They spend most of their time outside and help to look after the animals. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and always take time to talk to parents. I highly recommend this nursery!

The best nursery by far! I chose each peach as it is very similar to our outdoors lifestyle and Montessori learning and so glad I did. My son loves it here, they are out in all weathers learning through nature. The staff are fantastic and have a great bond with all the children and my son regularly talks about them when he's not there. The children are encouraged get wet, dirty and let their imaginations run wild and they absolutely love it. The outside space is incredible. More than any school let alone nursery and my son regularly helps put the ducks to bed. We live in the next town with plenty of nurseries round the corner but wouldn't go anywhere else!

This nursery has fantastic facilities for babies through to preschool aged children. The baby room is such a lovely and peaceful environment and the outside space is astounding. I love the focus on healthy eating, the fact there is a proper chef In the kitchen is so convenient and reassures me that my little ones are eating well. I have also had great experiences using the holiday clubs for my older 2. The ‘Famly’ app used by the nursery makes communication really easy. This nursery is a hidden gem and I would urge anyone considering it to check it out and see for yourself!

I feel confident sending my son to Each Peach Forest School. From day one he has formed great bonds with the nursery staff. It's lovely getting updates via the Famly app, seeing what he has been up to and how lunch and dinner has gone down. The nursery are introducing hot lunches on site from November and the menu looks amazing. It's a positive introduction and means one less thing to worry about. The space is also great and one of the main reasons I choose Each Peach, lots of great outside space, animals, veg patches but also a lovely inside space too. I really can't fault them, the staff are lovely, I feel informed about what my son is doing while there and he always comes home in happy, albeit sleepy mood!
