Helpful answers

Nursery questions in Burgess Hill

What postcode covers nurseries in Burgess Hill?

RH15 is the principal postcode district for Burgess Hill. It covers the town centre and residential areas around the town, although ToddleKids keeps results focused on Burgess Hill rather than assuming every RH15 address represents the same local area.

Which parts of Burgess Hill can I search for childcare in?

Burgess Hill has local areas and town wards including Leylands, Dunstall, Franklands, Gatehouse, Meeds & Hammonds, St Andrew’s, St John’s and Victoria. The town also now includes Brookleigh East and Brookleigh West, created around the major new neighbourhood formerly known as the Northern Arc.

Is Brookleigh part of Burgess Hill?

Yes. Brookleigh is the new neighbourhood being developed on the northern side of Burgess Hill. The town council now has separate Brookleigh East and Brookleigh West wards, so childcare located there belongs within the wider Burgess Hill search area.

Which council deals with nursery funding in Burgess Hill?

Burgess Hill is within Mid Sussex District, but funded early education is handled by West Sussex County Council. The county council operates its Early Years Funded Entitlement (EYFE) scheme through eligible nurseries, pre-schools and childminders.

Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Burgess Hill?

Eligible working families can access up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months old, continuing through the early-years period while eligibility requirements are met. All 3 and 4-year-olds also have access to the universal 15-hour entitlement.

Can I use funded hours with a Burgess Hill childminder?

Yes. West Sussex allows eligible childminders, day nurseries and pre-schools to join its funded-entitlement scheme. Parents can therefore look beyond traditional nursery settings when choosing where to use funded childcare in Burgess Hill.

Where can I get help finding suitable childcare for a child with SEND?

The West Sussex Family Information Service can help parents search for childcare, including when a child has additional needs and finding a suitable setting is difficult. Early-years providers are expected to make reasonable adjustments and use the SEND graduated approach, with additional support such as Disability Access Fund and Inclusion Funding available in eligible cases.

Why might Burgess Hill nurseries have different types of Ofsted ratings?

Nurseries inspected before the renewed framework may still display an older overall judgement such as Good or Outstanding. Since 10 November 2025, Ofsted has graded individual areas using a five-point scale instead of giving one overall effectiveness grade, with safeguarding reported separately as met or not met.
