Rose Cottage Haywards Heath Day Nursery and Preschool

"Rose Cottage is a truly superb nursery. The staff have made our daughter so comfortable and welcome and she can't wait to go back each week. The outdoor environment they have created with the animals and the woodland is such a unique benefit that not many other nurseries offer and our daughter has thrived with this."

A place to grow

Your little one's day will be filled with fun, learning, and love at our warm and welcoming Rose Cottage Haywards Heath Day Nursery and Preschool, where we welcome and nurture children aged 6 months to 5 years.

Learning Inspired by Nature

Our garden was landscaped specifically for the childrens growing imagination.

Our Nursery is Woodland themed encouraging learning inspired by nature and the environment, and we are fortunate to boast an extensive garden with a wonderful woodland walk to complement this theme.

We also have an excellent growing area where the children can learn about caring for plants. Our children help with preparing the soil, planting, watering and maintaining the fruit, vegetables or herbs. All of this helps towards teaching the children about healthy eating and nutrition.

Laying the Foundations for School Life

Although it might seem like a lifetime away, school is just around the corner.

Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's development and progress- whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Rural location in the heart of woodland

Rose Cottage is a beautiful day nursery set in the heart of mid-Sussex.

Nestled between Haywards Heath and Balcombe, with great access from the A23.

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01444 223 880, our friendly team is here to help.
