From the The Friendly Fish Nursery
51 of the 52 weeks of the year, the Friendly Fish Nursery is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
With supplementary care for kids up to age 8, we take care of kids from 0 to 5 years old.
In September 2018, The Friendly Fish debuted to the public as a brand-new private day care and Beach School.
Located minutes from the sea front in Littlehampton, our Nursery is set in a large four story converted house in a residential area.
At The Friendly Fish we have staff who have trained to be able to provide a Beach School experience for your child, which also qualifies us to lead our team in providing such a unique and fun opportunity to learn.
Beach Schools provide an opportunity for holistic development for young children, giving them good foundations for the rest of their lives.
The Beach school experience promotes an all-round developmental experience.
Practice at The Friendly Fish Day Nursery & Beach School is being led by our Area Manager, Natalie Moir.
Natalie has over 15 years experience in Early Years and over 8 years of overseeing two private settings, another situated in West Sussex, and also the opening of a brand new Nursery setting in Croydon during 2014.
Natalie will lead and continue to develop our staff team who we will ensure are filled with enthusiasm, have a passion for teaching and above all devoted to providing exceptional childcare.
We provide the very best nurturing, education and care for all of our children.
The Friendly Fish believes that children can do anything if they are offered the opportunity, allowing children to be dependent, confident learners who are content and happy to make their own choices, have their own feelings, thoughts and suggestions.
