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
Children thrive in this exceptional nursery setting. The staff team are inspirational and implement a highly ambitious curriculum. Children arrive full of excitement and anticipation for a fun-filled day ahead. They make outstanding progress from their starting points. Staff work hard to meet the children's learning and development needs through a series of interesting and unique ways. For example, children develop a nurturing approach as they take some responsibility for a variety of rescued animals. They visit the pet shop to learn more about how to care for them.
Staff who have horticultural skills teach children how to grow and harvest their own produce. Children are taught how not to be wasteful and how to care for the planet. These skills help to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
Children display exceptionally high levels of engagement as they excitedly join in with storytelling. Their imaginations are fuelled, inspiring them in their own play. A

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.
