Our Granddaughter has attended The Country Mouse Nursery for just over a year and has grown so much in confidence and enthusiasm for exploring new things in that time. It is such a nurturing environment and the Management and Staff clearly understand and adapt to the differences in abilities and needs of the little ones in their care. Our little one loves the freshly prepared meals and certainly eats well there. This certainly helps give her the energy she uses when she's in her favourite place, the Forest School and Garden.....no matter what the weather! I would have no hesitation in recommending The Country Mouse Nursery to anyone.

My son enjoys his sessions at the country mouse nursery. He's always happy to go in and greeted by a friendly member of staff. It's great that they get outside and do lots of messy play. I think my son is relaxed and not clingy because he feels happy and secure when he's at nursery. He has lots of nice meals at nursery, often things he wouldn't necessarily have at home, so it's great he tries new things and eats together with the other children.

Country Mouse Nursery have been a huge part of my little boys development and he has learnt so many things from the fabulous staff. We get so many compliments from external people saying how clever, polite and kind our little boy is, and the nursery staff play a huge part in this !! He loves going into nursery to see his friends and all the staff! As parents we are so happy to see him thrive in this environment and watch him turn into a happy little boy. The activity days for the kids are amazing, and sometimes we are gobsmacked without how much they have done throughout the week. We never have any concerns or worries .. our little boy is in the safest hands and the best environment for him to learn and be happy! Country Mouse is the perfect nursery for your little ones :)

I can’t rate The Country Mouse highly enough. The staff are brilliant with my son and he has the best time on nursery days. They make nursery fun and exciting with so many different activities and trips. Oh the odd occasion when my son has been poorly they have been kind and compassionate and couldn’t be in better hands. Would definitely recommend The Country Mouse!

A Wonderful Experience at Country Mouse Nursery in Midhurst!

This nursery truly stands out as an exceptional place for early childhood education and development. I can't recommend it highly enough! First and foremost, the staff at Country Mouse Nursery are simply phenomenal. Their dedication, passion, and genuine love for what they do is evident in every interaction. From the moment we walked through the doors, my child was greeted with open arms by the caring and friendly team. In particular, I'd like to highlight the amazing efforts of Amy, Mimi, and Kylie. These individuals have played a pivotal role in making my child's nursery experience truly special. Amy, with her warm and nurturing nature, has created a positive and safe environment that fosters learning and growth. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every child feels valued and supported. My child has formed a strong bond with Amy, and I am immensely grateful for her patience, guidance, and commitment to their overall development. Beyond the incredible staff, the Country Mouse Nursery offers a stimulating and well-rounded curriculum. They have created an environment where learning takes place through play, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and social development.
