The day nursery was formed after Young Sussex took over Mothercraft's nursery near Seven Dials, later expanding into an adjoining building. It embraces a "home from home" philosophy, offering dedicated, age-specific rooms and a secure, multi-level outdoor play area. Babies, known as Bear Cubs, have their own ground-floor entrance, a private decked play area, a sleep room, kitchen, and dedicated garden, quiet, and messy play rooms. Tiger Cubs, the toddlers, occupy six play areas on the middle floor, designed for exploration, creativity, and social interaction, sharing a large, safely zoned garden with other age groups. Preschool children, or Lion Cubs, have the entire top floor to explore various learning areas, preparing them for school with the guidance of experienced practitioners. The day nursery encourages independence and choice in learning, aiming to provide a high-quality experience despite not being the cheapest option available. They include breakfast, snacks, milk, formula, nappies, wipes, and suncream in their fees, with hot lunches available as an optional extra. The nursery is managed by Daniela Rae, who herself is a parent and understands the needs of families. Our ethos Young Sussex Nursery embraces a "home from home" philosophy, encouraging independence and choice in learning to provide a high-quality experience for children across different age groups. What it's like Children flourish in this well-organised, high-quality nursery. They are warmly welcomed by enthusiastic staff and engage in exciting, joyful learning, leading their own imaginative and creative play inspired by stimulating resources.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make impressive progress. Shared planning with parents, particularly for children with SEND, helps to ensure continuity of practice and that children's needs are fully met. Outdoor space In the garden, toddlers smell herbs and spices as they add them to their cooking. The outside environment has been enhanced even further to give children without gardens a wider range of opportunities for play. EAL / language support Children who speak English as an additional language are exceptionally well supported and included. Staff sing simple songs in the children's home languages, for instance. This gives them a sense of belonging and helps all children learn about others. ## Google Reviews of Young Sussex Nursery (Brighton) 4.3 (3 Google reviews) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjUfK702aqTO3eLICSH-E-KvVHob-1vcgbbqS8li84SXq0dtHK4o=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Nina Kim 2 years ago Young Sussex is a wonderful nursery.
