Welcome to Puffin!

 

Welcoming families, nurturing children and being a community

We've been delivering quality childcare for children age 2-5 years since 1992. Based in theTarner area of Brighton we pride ourselves on our community ethos and having close partnership's with families. We believe in putting children before profit and we are a charity owned and run by families for families.

 

We are a term-time only setting- which means we have the same holidays as schools.

Our Staff

 

The Puffin team have been together for a long time and we are lucky enough to have had very low staff turnover- our deputy manager, Eleni,  has been here more than 18+ years! Most of our staff started out as parents themselves, but all have now worked their way up to get qualifed. Our manager, Tracy, is a qualified Early Years Teacher and we regularly support students from Brighton City College, Brighton and Chichester Universities through placements at our setting.
