About this Worthing Nursery

Description

Situated in a convenient central location for parents working in Worthing or surrounding areas, and located a few minutes’ walk from the local park which allows the opportunity for children to explore their wider world.

Each of our four rooms are bright, open plan spaces with lots of natural light.

Then they will move their way up through Caterpillars and Blossom before finally entering our Butterflies room which is set up to help prepare children for starting school. Each room offers age and stage appropriate toys and planned activities that give them a wide variety of learning within their environment.
