Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
All children are entitled to 15 hours of free Early Years Education from the term after they turn 3 years. Additionally, we can offer 2 year funding for children if your family meets the criteria.
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 settle quickly and are happy in this welcoming and nurturing setting.
Children have positive relationships with the staff and with their key person. This helps them to feel safe and secure. They often go to staff for comfort or a cuddle.
Staff have high expectations of behaviour and consistently remind children of the boundaries, such as not running inside. Children respond positively, demonstrating respect for the staff. They follow established routines, such as washing hands before eating and helping to tidy up.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise when to build on children's interest in mathematics to extend their learning even further.

- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £24.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
