The Nest Day Nursery
Three fantastic nurseries, catering for babies from 6 weeks until it is time for school, all run by passionate local families and educators. Two of these nurseries even offer a co-working office for busy parents! Rest assured that these nurturing environments are not owned by private equity investors, but by genuine and friendly locals who are committed to supporting you in raising the next generation.
Where does my child's journey start?
The Nest is a small family-owned and managed private day nursery group exclusive to Brighton and Hove. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing, stimulating, and welcoming environment for all children. We incorporate a variety of educational theories, while always keeping the child’s best interest in mind and allowing for hands-on, experiential learning. Children at The Nest are happy and settled and our environment is beautiful and carefully prepared. We cater for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years in two nursery settings in Brighton and one in Hove. Many children join us in Wrens Nest as babies and stay until they go to school.

Are you looking for the proposed FREE Government Hours?
We are optimistic about government changes and will strive to provide parents with options to maximise support. With our fantastic funded options, you will receive your hours completely free, with minimal extra fees. Spaces are limited, so we recommend securing your place now; you can register now, and add your funding details later. Based on provisional information, it seems that the 9-month-old funding will commence the term after a baby turns 9 months and that parents will need to apply for the funding through the childcare choices website for an eligibility code. Once the government have this in place and you receive your eligibility code, we will be able to add the funding for you. You will only need to pay the full rates until your baby is eligible.
