The team at Shoreham day nursery are the most attentive and caring I could ask for. My baby started there at just 9 months and we felt it was a second home to her. She learned, she thrived and made friends, and most importantly she loved going to nursery every day. It gave her the best start in life and we’ll be forever grateful.

As a first-time Mum, Shoreham Day Nursery and Preschool have made me feel really at ease. They have been so attentive from our very first visit and continue to be so, always asking if anything has changed in my son's routine and calling us if they ever have a query. All meals are cooked fresh and so far my son hasn't turned anything down!! They are committed to sustainability, using organic toys, minimal plastic and recycling where possible. I feel that they are very invested in the happiness and welfare of the children they look after. My son (and I!) have settled in very well. Many thanks Amy, Terri, Claire & Rhianna!
