Best nursery’s in Crawley

[2Dads1girl]

Hey everyone,

Having just had our Heath visitors visit, my and my husband discussed the best nursery to send our daughter to in Crawley and they advised us that this was a great community to get the answers from parents and recommendations, any help
would be grateful.

many thanks

Little Barn Owls in Brookfield Crawley would be my suggestion. Or the one at Faygate depending on where you are in Crawley.

Honestly I'd start with where you'll actually be doing drop off and pick up, so near home or on the way to work or the station. Crawley's quite spread out with all the different neighbourhoods (Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Three Bridges, Broadfield etc) and somewhere that looks 10 mins away can be a real slog at 8am with a tired little one.

Then have a look at the Ofsted reports for the ones nearby and go and visit a few, ideally not just the open morning. Ask how long the staff have been there, how settling in works, and what the funded hours actually cost once they add meals and extras, because that varies loads. Some places have waiting lists, especially for the younger rooms, so worth getting your name down once you've got a shortlist.

Full disclosure, I'm developing a school comparison site that's completely free to use, schoolcompass.uk, which might help you see what's near you and their Ofsted info in one place before you go and visit. Hope you find somewhere lovely x
