Blueberry Nursery School

Our environment

Blueberry Nursery School in Hove offers an exceptional environment for children.

We have an impressive outdoor area tailored to the children's interests and needs. All the rooms in the nursery have access to an outdoor area at all times, as well as two fixed slots each day in the nursery garden. All children have the opportunity to work with our full-time outdoor specialist and benefit from the activities he plans on a daily basis.

Indoor and outdoor activities are set at a pace that your child will find challenging yet enjoyable. Activities are planned for separate age groups, which mean that the learning environment caters specifically for the child’s stage of development.

As part of our nursery curriculum we plan regular outings for the children. These can either be spontaneous trips into the local community or trips to farms, zoos, nature reserves and woodland areas where the children get to experience the best nature has to offer. We also hold events to enable parents to feel involved in all aspects of the nursery whilst having the opportunity to socialise with others. See our Facebook site to see all the exciting things that we do!
