Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Haywards Heath
What postcode covers nurseries in Haywards Heath?
RH16 is the principal postcode district for Haywards Heath, covering the town centre and many surrounding residential areas. Nearby settlements can share Haywards Heath postal addresses, so ToddleKids keeps nursery results tied to the actual location rather than relying on the postcode alone.
Is Bolnore Village part of Haywards Heath?
Yes. Bolnore forms part of Haywards Heath and is represented within the town council’s Lucastes & Bolnore ward. Other official town wards include Ashenground, Franklands, Bentswood & Heath and several northern Haywards Heath wards.
Is Lindfield included within Haywards Heath?
Not administratively. Lindfield directly adjoins Haywards Heath but is a separate parish and settlement, so nurseries located in Lindfield can be treated separately from those within Haywards Heath itself.
Which council is responsible for nursery funding in Haywards Heath?
Haywards Heath sits within Mid Sussex District Council, but early-years education and funded childcare are county-level services administered by West Sussex County Council.
Can I split funded childcare between two Haywards Heath providers?
Yes. West Sussex allows families to divide their Early Years Funded Entitlement between eligible providers such as a nursery and childminder. A child can use funded hours at a maximum of two providers in one day, while the combined hours must stay within the child’s total entitlement.
When do the 15 funded hours start after my child turns 3?
Every child can access up to 15 universal funded hours a week from the term after their third birthday. Eligible working families can receive up to 30 hours, including for younger children from the term after they turn 9 months old.
Can a Haywards Heath nursery receive extra funding for a child with SEND?
Potentially. Early-years settings in Haywards Heath can access West Sussex support including Inclusion Funding where a child needs support beyond ordinarily available provision. Eligible children receiving Disability Living Allowance and funded early education may also attract a £910 annual Disability Access Fund payment for their chosen provider.
Why do some Haywards Heath nurseries have different types of Ofsted results?
Nurseries inspected under the previous system may still show an overall rating such as Good or Outstanding. For inspections from 10 November 2025, Ofsted uses report cards with individual areas graded on a five-point scale, while safeguarding is recorded separately as met or not met.
