Shoreham-by-Sea Day Nursery and Preschool formerly Happysaurus Day Nursery offers childcare and education in a caring environment for children aged six months to five years.
Our nursery provides children with a rich learning environment where they can develop and learn to express their individuality with large, bright play rooms equipped with age-appropriate toys and resources, children are encouraged to participate in a range of activities, which enhance their learning.
Activities are both child- and adult-led and take place indoors and outdoors, allowing for further learning opportunities. Learning through play supports children to develop emotionally, physically and academically.
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.
Our Shoreham-by-Sea nursery is located in the residential area of Shoreham, close to three local primary school's and a five minute walk from the train station, making it perfect for local families. The nursery is a short walk away from Southlands Hospital and Buckingham Park.

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 and so on.
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.
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.
