We have adored Keeley’s. Both our children attended here for two years and they have been through all three rooms. The staff have been amazing to both of them, and they have made such strong connections. They are always greeted with big smiles, come home happy, and speak fondly of their adults and friends. There’s a lovely outdoor area, which they both have loved too. Really a big thank you to all the staff at Keeley’s that have made our children feel welcome, it is very much appreciated!

My twin boys have been at the nursery from 1 year old through to their recent graduation. They have thoroughly enjoyed their time with Keeyley's and had some very special bonds with the staff. While some staff have left during this time, Keeyley's have ensured the transition for my children has gone smoothly. There have been many positive changes at the nursery and it keeps getting better. There were a few tears from staff on the last day which is a reflection of the personal commitment the staff have made for my children. My children have found memories and are now well equipped to start school!

My daughter had been going to Keeley’s for last 2 years. She had speech issues and with the help of the staff, and professionals she came on so much. I’ve never been thankful for a nursery to give so much input and advice to bring her forward. The staff are absolutely amazing, friendly and so helpful. My daughter is now heading up to school and without the help of Keeley’s I don’t think she would be as confident and bold as she is. I would highly recommend Keeley’s.

Keeley's Horsham is fantastic and comes highly recommended by us. Our eldest has just left after 3 incredible years under the full time care of their supportive, flexible, professional staff who take the time to understand the children as individuals. We are delighted to not be saying a complete goodbye yet as they continue to care for our youngest. They are investing significantly in the nursery building and in what promises to be a state of the art childcare facility.

My little boy started a month ago. So far, I'm so impressed. The staff are lovely! They are so enthusiastic to share my child's experiences with me, messaging throughout the day. They are very sensitive to his needs, notice if he's feeling out of sorts and give him the attention that he needs as well as freedom to explore. They have been fantastic at getting on board with using cloth nappies which is really important to me. I'm really pleased that I chose this nursery!
