Isabello’s Preschool is a nurturing early years setting based in Sayers Common, West Sussex, conveniently located for families in Burgess Hill, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Henfield and Haywards Heath.
We provide high quality childcare for children aged 2-5 in a warm, welcoming environment where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to thrive.
At Isabello’s, we set out with a simple mission: to create the kind of preschool we would want for our own children. Founded and run by parents Emma and David, our preschool is rooted in love, care, and a genuine passion for child development. We believe every child is unique!
As parents ourselves, we know what really matters - safe surroundings, trusted staff, and a learning environment where children can flourish. That’s why we created Isabello’s, a place where every child feels at home, every parent feels reassured, and every day is full of joy and discovery.
“Together may we give our children the roots to grow and the wings to fly”
Wellies are a must!
We explore the world around us and have a special focus on the outdoors, boosted by our outdoor learning activities within the grounds and the surrounding area.
At Isabello’s Preschool, we follow a play based approach that supports each child’s individual development.
We believe children learn best when they feel:
- Safe and secure
- Engaged and curious
- Supported and understood
Through a balance of structured activities and child led play, we help children to:
- Build confidence and independence
- Develop social and communication skills
- Explore creativity and imagination
- Prepare for a smooth transition into school
We blend the best of early years learning styles to nurture the whole child:
🌳 Outdoor adventures are part of daily life - giving children space to explore, climb, and connect with nature.
🧩 Montessori Ethos - Children learn through hands on activities, gaining independence, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
🧘 Yoga & Wellbeing - Simple yoga, breathing, and mindfulness routines support calmness and resilience.
🌍 Languages & Culture - Early language learning sparks curiosity about the wider world.
This unique combination, guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensures your child receives a well rounded, inspiring early education.
❤️ A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT
Our setting is designed to feel like a home from home, where children are encouraged to learn through play in a calm and supportive space. We take the time to get to know each child as an individual, ensuring they feel comfortable, settled and ready to engage in their learning.
