My son started Happitots this week having turned 2 at the end of July. I am self employed so he has…read morebeen with me in my place of work since he was 2 weeks old and is more used to adult company than that of other children. With this in mind I was reluctant to send him off to nursery and was very particular when hunting through the multitude of options. He is also a baby giant (85th for weight and above the top line for height!) and I was a bit worried about how he would handle a room full of other 2 year olds. I know I was probably being an over-worried mum but Julie and the rest of the team have done a wonderful job and we couldn't be happier! He is so happy playing with a fantastic mix of children and is given the freedom to learn and explore however he chooses. I really could not recommend this place enough!

I sent my daughter to Early Years nursery and was shocked at some of the things that passed as…read moreacceptable there. I am divorced so I made sure that a copy of the contact agreement that dictated contact between my ex-partner and I. On one occasion my daughter was withheld from me when it was clear that I had contact on that day as contact was on the same days each week and the contact order had been in place for two years. Even though the nursery was aware that it was regularly my contact time and they were asked by me to cross-reference the order (that they had in their hands at the time) they still withheld my daughter. I was totally outraged and was reduced to tears in their office with the desperation of the seemingly wilful disregard for the court order. At a later date I did receive a weak apology but when there is no excuse for such restriction of personal liberty it does not explain or excuse what happened. They continued to treat me differently applying different sets of rules to me, as they did towards my ex -partner. When I requested rudimentary paperwork regarding incidents that had taken place, leading to me losing money, I was told that I would need to get a letter from my solicitor in order to receive confirmation, of matter which they had plain knowledge of , and could have given me without fuss. Conversely my ex-partner was not asked to go to such costly lengths when information from the nursery was requested - most recently just the week before. This led to me being effectively blocked from the same rights to equal treatment and the freedom of information as my ex-partner. This is modern day sexism which the nursery wholeheartedly embraces whilst hiding behind codes and rhetoric. If these are the skewed values that they practise at management level then I am not sure what kind of messages would be filtering through to the education policy of the children. After my experiences there I would not recommend anyone leaving any of their children there for a multitude of different reason that only become apparent when it's too late to do anything.

All my brothers and sister went to this school from reception until year 6 so I have plenty of…read morestories and information about this school. It always has achieved well compared to other schools in the surrounding area with P.C.C. being the normal secondary school to attend which enables many people to keep friends for life. 2 of my best friends still, I met at Mile Oak. They do so much each year with some type of pantomime performance being the highlight. My brother was involved in the Pied Piper of Hamlet Performance whilst I was involved in Oliver and Joseph and the technicoloured dream coat. My mum has these videos now. The balanced teaching here which is in line with the curriculum gives young people a good chance to start their own path in life. I have ended up at university and am the 1st person in my family to do so. The school football team is always competing to win the leagues. Each year 2 of the best players are chosen to trial out for Brighton Schools Boys who play other counties.

Fantastic staff who have a solid background in child care and development. Very honest and open…read more Recommended.
