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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
