Our vision

We provide first-class childcare at family friendly prices.

Caring for children is what we do

Every child is nurtured attentively and according to their needs. We create calm, structured and sociable learning environments with the aim of delivering excellence in childcare.

Our holistic approach to childcare nurtures children's academic, social and emotional needs to ensure they develop the skills which will set them on the right course, both at school and in later life.

We are approachable

What does it mean?

We are approachable

We have over 35 years experience providing childcare to the families of Brighton & Hove and East Sussex. We draw on this every day and put the needs and interests of our children first.

We are independent

We are independent

We remain an independent and family owned business. We are not run by an opaque profit-driven national corporation but by real people whose children go to our nurseries and who have the best interests of children at heart, working tirelessly in our nurseries every day.
