A nursery designed for children, loved by families
Positioned on the tree-lined New Church Road in Hove, the latest addition to our family is set in an imposing former school building.
Behind the ground-floor doors, you’ll find nine large, light-filled playrooms and an awe-inspiring atelier, set amongst thoughtfully restored architectural details. The first floor features a spacious wellness and movement room, perfect for sparking self-expression through dance, yoga, and mindfulness. Outside, the huge garden includes a baby zone and two play areas with a messy, wood-chipped zone for Forest School-inspired learning.
We’re all about making things easier for our families, and the generous buggy, bike and scooter stores means you can head off hands-free after drop-off. Even better, our N Café will serve (much needed!) sustainable coffee and snacks, meaning you’ll be set up for the day in just the right way!

Our standard day is 8am to 6pm. We also offer the option to do 7am to 7pm to ensure flexibility for our families, subject to availability.

Whilst the Government funding is structured for 38 weeks of the year (term time), our places are for 51 weeks of the year and so the funding is 'stretched'. When stretched, 15 funded hours become 11.18 hours per week, and 30 funded hours become 22.35 hours per week.
Additional charges apply only to the portion of your place covered by funded hours, and are reflected in the monthly breakdown above. Any additional private days will be charged at our standard all-inclusive daily rate. Families receiving funding may choose to opt out of additional charges – please speak with your Nursery Manager or our Admissions team for more information.
Families can assess their eligibility for funding and the application process by visiting the Better Start in Life website.
For more information about available funding, please go to our Funding and bursaries page.
Please note: a multi-day discount has been applied to all 4 and 5 day places. For funded places, a discount has been applied to the additional charges (age group dependent and excluding 2 day places). Fees are calculated based on the 51 weeks of the year that N is open, averaged into 12 monthly payments. Monthly payments will include bank and public holidays as well as inset days, which are payable in full in spite of closure, as our monthly staffing costs remain the same.
Processing Information
Day Rates
Under 3 years: £85.00 per standard day
3 years+: £75.00 per standard day
Fees include all food, drink, consumables and activities.
Making payments
Fees are due in advance, and we issue invoices mid-month for the following month with Direct Debits taken on the 27th of each month. For Payments via Tax-Free childcare or Childcare Vouchers, fees are due by the last day of the month. Unfortunately there can be no refunds for sickness or holidays. Any fee increases will be communicated 2 months before affecting your invoice and are based on the nursery’s running costs.
Flexibility
You can extend the standard day (8am-6pm) by up to an hour each way (7am-7pm) at the same hourly rate on a ‘pay as you go’ basis - i.e. £8.5/hr for under 3s or £7.5/hr for 3 years+; equivalent to £2.13/15 mins or £1.88/15 mins.
Joining fees
To join the waiting list at N, families are required to pay a waiting list registration fee of £250.
On accepting a place, this fee will become a non-refundable joining fee, and you’ll be asked to pay a £400 place acceptance fee, which will be deducted from your final invoice.
Funding eligibility deadlines
Families who are eligible for the 30 hours of funding are responsible for applying for a positive determination of eligibility from HMRC - e.g. a valid eligibility code. You must apply for the code before the 30th of the term before in order for the code to be eligible. The term start dates are 1st January, 1st April, and 1st September. The eligibility code must be provided to us before your child's early years funding can be claimed.
