Little Hassocks is a brand-new specialist under 2’s unit on Keymer Road, designed to provide the highest level of care in a purpose-built environment. The Nursery features age-appropriate equipment, a dedicated sleep room, a dining area, and a spacious open-plan play room catering to all areas of early learning. A specially designed soft play and physical development room supports our youngest children in developing their confidence in balance, walking, running, and climbing in a safe and stimulating setting.
As your child approaches the age of 2, they will move to either our Hassocks or Parklands site, depending on whether they receive care with us all year round or term time only.
Continuity of care is important to us, and our teams work as one. A thorough handover and settling in plan will be developed between practitioners taking into consideration individual needs.
Aligned with our dedication to quality education, we closely follow Birth to 5 Matters guidance. Our experienced staff members create stimulating activities that cater to each child’s unique needs, promoting their holistic growth across various areas of development. By incorporating play-based learning, social interaction, and structured routines, we ensure that children receive a well-rounded educational experience.
Since opening, Hassocks is one of our most popular settings, located in the heart of the village. This setting provides an Early Years education to children aged between 2-5, who are with us all year round.
This site boasts three gardens and an outdoor classroom, perfect for getting outside whatever the weather! We believe in free flow play, particularly for the older children, encouraging their independence right from the start.
Inside the nursery, we have a cosy corner with our family tree where we share photos of our families. We encourage you to share stories and photos of your weekend adventures so we can share these with our friends during circle time.
With our Forest School offering being embedded the curriculum, the dedicated forest school area brings these activities to our doorstep.

Our Parklands setting is located just a stones throw from our main Hassocks site, and a short walk from ‘Little Hassocks’ in the heart of the village.
Located in the Scout Headquarters, it offers a large space for our toddlers and older children to let their creativity shine through and become more independent – our children love our cosy home corner, and arts and crafts station!
Whilst this setting has designated outdoor space for their Forest School activities, it also backs onto our Hassocks site, where the children are able to make use of these facilities on a daily basis.
This provision is term-time only.
