A Statement from our Founders
Jennifer Dearden & Susan Hale,
At The Hive Sussex, children are always at the heart of everything we do.
Our passionate educators and dedicated support staff are committed to delivering the very best care and clubs, ensuring every child has the strongest possible start in life.
We know that 90% of a child’s brain development happens before they begin school, and that these early years play a vital role in shaping their physical, emotional, and intellectual future. That’s why our approach is built around child-led learning in safe, inspiring, and engaging spaces that spark curiosity, confidence, and joy.
By working closely with families and our wider community, we are committed to making The Hive Sussex the leading children’s club in the region—a place where every child’s individual needs are supported, and where they are empowered to grow, learn, and thrive every single day.
