I hired the hall yesterday the 11th may for my daughters 1st birthday party. I paid for the hall a…read morefew weeks previous and my booking form was completed, and I even spoke to Peter, who is part of the premises team on Thursday the 9th may to confirm everything. I am REALLY disappointed , I hired the hall from 2pm-6pm. The party started from 3, so that allowed me an hour to set the hall up. At half past 2, no body had arrived with the keys, so after contacting the slimming world number which was on the notice board outside the hall, the lady texted me the number for the caretaker. I called him, and he said he wasn't on duty, and was not in the area at the time but would do his best to try and find out who was on duty, He telephoned me back, and explained there is a spare set of keys with the security man at hove town hall. So my partner had to drive down to hove town hall, My children were distraught as they were excited about the party, and then had to leave to collect the keys. Once arriving at hove town hall the security guard explained to my partner it wasn't even logged in the book which has the bookings in! I also had to have my bouncy castle delivered (which was meant to be collected) Which incurred a fee. Anyway i finally got into the hall at 3.15. An hour and 15 minutes after schedule. I had guests arriving, having to stand outside in the cold with there small children. It was a real kerfuffle, we didn't know where anything was. Had no caretaker to explain procedures etc, fire safety bla de bla. I would not reccomend hiring this hall, the whole thing was a sham and totally ruined my daughters 1st birthday. Totally disgusted in Brighton and Hove city council for allowing this to happen. Cowboys springs to mind!

The staff are genuine, caring and friendly whilst behaving professionally at all times. The catering options are wonderful - you can provid a packed lunch from home at no extra cost or the nursery can provide hot meals for the children at the cost of about £2.50 per meal. They also cater for vegetarian children with a nutritionally balanced, well thought out menu. There are several different age groups within the nursery to ensure small groups with the correct staff to child ratio and maximize the learning potential of each child, geared specifically towards their age group. The nursery is OFSTED registered and accepts nursery vouchers as well as offering flexible payment options. Hourly rates or morning/afternoon or daily or weekly rates depending on what suits you - prices are on a par with most other nurseries in the area although in my opinion you get a lot more for your money here than you would elsewhere. Limited parking as it's so central but as you are usually only dropping of/picking up that's rarely a problem. One other thing to note is the stairs - there are quite a few inside the building, rather like a townhouse really but i think it's good for the children - exercise can only be a good thing!
