Our wonderful, purpose-built nursery in Eastbourne is designed to give little ones the best start in life.  

We are committed to offering an environment where children develop, flourish, and prepare for their transition to school. From a designated room for all under 1-year-old babies to fun and engaging activities for toddlers and pre-schoolers, our trained and experienced staff ensure the needs of our children are met daily. The extensive outside garden is split into development areas and is fantastic for outdoor play and discovery.  

With a talented Chef on-site, our children enjoy scrummy and nutritious meals. Our menu is accredited by the NHS and all dietary needs are met.
