Good★ 3.4 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Bexhill-On-Sea for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 2011, with 30 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in East Sussex
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Sussex from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff successfully create a very welcoming environment where children settle happily. Children respond well to the warm, caring interactions of staff. They benefit from effective and consistent support to promote their communication and language. Staff ensure that children in all rooms hear a lot of words, to help them to understand and explore language. Babies confidently practise new words. Older children rapidly build up their vocabularies and excitedly share their news, opinions and ideas.
Children develop good social skills and learn to behave well. Staff praise children's efforts and achievements, promoting their self-esteem and developing their confidence to try new things. Children make choices and decisions as they play, helping them to become independent learners.
Staff use their thorough knowledge and understanding of children's learning needs to plan and deliver an ambitious curriculum. For example, staff build on children's interest in animals and minibeasts by planning activities that promote their language, mathematical and physical skills. Children also enjoy expressing their creative ideas. Staff teach children techniques and provide a range of art materials.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to plan activities that are tailored more precisely to reflect the interests and levels of understanding of the youngest children n review and enhance information-sharing with parents to include specific detail about their child's progress and planned next steps in learning.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
