We are open for children ages 0 to 5 years old throughout the year or at the beginning of each term at Garden Cottage Nursery School, an exceptional child care setting located in the picturesque South Downs.
We have excellent links with all the local schools in West Sussex where we prepare our kids to go.
The charming South Downs is home to the Garden Cottage Nursery School, a former flint factory with its own enclosed garden play area and parking space.
Our objective at the Nursery School is to create a kid who is well-adapted, healthy, and self-assured and who has all the abilities required to successfully transition into school life.
Your child's social, emotional, physical, and educational needs will be stimulated and developed via these activities and others that occur regularly in the Nursery.
The nursery is available during term time only if necessary and is open all year round.
