Our son has been going here for around 6 months now, when he started he was very shy and extremely cautious around new people. The team at Artemis have really helped develop his skills and personality. Now my son cant wait to get off to nursery and see his friends and the staff. The changes weve noticed in him have been amazing. All the while the staff post regular updates and photos on the baby days app which is great for us to see his progress. Thank you to everyone involved at this nursery.

I cannot recommend Artemis and their team highly enough. They operate with an incredibly reassuring level of professionalism, whilst always being warm and kind. They really understand how important it is for parents to know that their children will be safe and happy in their care, so bend over backwards to provide a level of service that is completely tailored to each child and their parents' individual needs. Having the support of the Artemis team made settling into the area a million times easier in our first few years here and we're just so grateful for all that they've done for our family.

Our daughter absolutely loves Artemis Nursery! We were a bit worried when she started as she was born in lockdown and hadn't socialised much, the team were brilliant and really helped to ease her in and keep us updated. Her days are packed full of activities and we receive regular updates and pics via the app, the food menu is fantastic too. We've been really impressed with this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Our oldest son has been attending Artemis for over two years now and we are so happy with how well he has been cared for and how much he enjoys it. He has made lots of friends there and gets disappointed on the days he does not attend nursery! Our youngest son has recently started in the baby room and has settled so well already thanks to the amazing staff. The communication is very good and the staff really care for the children and know them well. We would highly recommend this nursery.

We have been using Artemis Nusery Hastings since Febuary 2017 first for our son, and then for our daughter who started in 2019 and hoping to send our youngest next year. We absolutely love sending our children here, the staff are all so lovely and will do anything to help the children and they are very accommodating too. The children always come home so happy with lots of stories to tell about there day at nusery.

We send both our daughters to this lovely nursery. There are so many good things to say about Artemis; the activities the children do, the core values they instill, the general ethos of kindness, sharing and friendship, which are the crux of the establishment. However, the best thing about this nursery and the main reason we send our girls there is down to the attitude and care of each and every member of staff. It's not easy to hand your young baby or toddler over to someone else - but the staff at Atremis are some of the most caring and compassionate early learning professionals we've had the

My daughter has attended Artemis Hollington for nearly two years (since she was as baby). Having been in the baby room and toddler I can say that she has had kind, supportive keyworkers who work hard to build, bond and help your child thrive. She finds nursery fun and has definitely benefitted from the thriving environment. In terms of admin, communication and invoices the organisation are prompt and Beth (the manager)is always an email or call away to help with any queries. Thank you Artemis for supporting us both.
