  • Co-op Childcare Littlehampton, Littlehampton
Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is a purpose-built nursery and is made up of six rooms and a large garden.

They have areas for growing food ( and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and care for each other and the world. Their ParentZone app keeps parents/carers informed about their little ones at nursery with photos from their day, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

They are big on safety and that's why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with the children, from encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world.

They hold the silver award in the green flag eco schools programme which sees children lead the way in making a little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

At Co-op Childcare Littlehampton they like to learn through play with regular Forest School inspired activities where they encourage all of their children to explore outdoors as part of their development.

So happy our daughter is part of Co-op childcare, she was not able to meet other friends and people in this Covid situation and she was always looking for me when we were in other company and crying for me. Now within not even 10 days, I can see the difference in her. Highly recommend this nursery and
the people are so friendly and they have experience with Down Syndrome babies which was one of the important things for us. Many thanks.

My son is incredibly happy at this nursery and has made brilliant progress. He loves all of the activities and is always excited to go to nursery.
I am regularly updated with my son's progress and love seeing the pictures updated throughout the day.

My son has been attending here since 11 months I can’t fault them at all, any problems are always dealt with and friendly staff. I find the app very helpful my son really enjoys it and has made some lovely friends, his development is really coming on. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who is
looking for a lovely bunch of staff who are also there to support the families not just children.

My little one started last July and it took a while to settle in but he loves going, gets so excited for his play days there and is now making friends and remembering names. He thrives in an outside environment which is one of the reasons I chose the Co-op Childcare Littlehampton as they make full use
of the garden. I think the staff and management have handled the Covid-19 situation extremely well but does at busy times mean they don't have the time for updates or to listen to you, so you forget to pass on information such as my son is in pants today due to potting training. The key worker staff seem to have genuine care and affection for the children which is a comfort when dropping off.

I have used this fantastic nursery for the last five years. Firstly my daughter, who thrived followed by my son who is also thriving here. He runs straight in every session, eager to get going and is a confident happy chappy when collected. The fantastic outside space is utilised extremely efficiently
providing everything imaginable and is used at every given opportunity. The staff are fantastic, helpful, caring, sensible and go above and beyond for children and parents. Their handling of Covid-19 has been exemplary. I researched and visited basically all the nurseries in the area prior to choosing this one five ears ago. At my first visit it was clearly positively incomparable to all the others, even visually. Five years with two children through it and never a worry. Not bad eh? I cannot rate this nursery and all the staff highly enough. The manager is simply incredible. I was sad when my daughter graduated to "big school" and I will be sad again when my son follows shortly. Magical memories made.

My little girl absolutely loves nursery and always goes in happy and smiling! The staff are so attentive and give me lots of information about what she has been up to throughout the day! The app is also really helpful. They know my daughter inside out which makes leaving her so easy.

Since my daughter started at Co-op Littlehampton, she has come on leaps and bounds. Her development has been incredible to watch and we are certain it is hugely down to the wonderful staff at the nursery. She is always excited to go into nursery, and gets upset on days she doesn't! Staff have been great,
keeping us up to date on things and how she is getting on. Absolute no negatives to tell!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children have been here, the youngest still attends. The environment is great with different settings for different age groups, so the children are all similar ages. It has large gardens which all ages have access to their own outdoor space.
The staff are great and look after the children
brilliantly. We found the preschool prepared child #1 so well for school and he started school with a large group of friends, so it felt like he already knew half the class. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

My daughter loves coming here, she often goes to bed saying 'school tomorrow' with a smile on her face. She really looks forward to going. Staff are always so caring and engaging in creating activities for the kids. They spend a lot of time outdoors when weather permits and are very conscious regarding
Covid restrictions. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Great Nursery! My little boy started at the end of the first lockdown. I was unable to personally attend the nursery to view it so was really apprehensive about sending my son somewhere where I have never been. However the virtual tour and communication I received beforehand totally put me at ease.
The updates and pictures I get throughout the day keep me informed and reassure me. The drop of and pick-ups are very well organised and although members are staff are stretched for time they always ensure that a brief update is given. I could fault this nursery and their staff! Even those in the office are always helpful and answers queries quickly!

Both my children attend this nursery with my son attending for over two years now. I’ve been really impressed with the nursery from day one, both children settled amazingly and have enjoyed attending ever since. The outside space is great and they use it all year round, all activities are considered
and far above what I could do at home with them - so imaginative but also with purpose and learnings. All food is made on-site and my child always loves what is served. Communication is fantastic, I cannot speak more highly of the nursery - you will not be disappointed.

I can not praise the nursery and all the staff more. My daughter has been going since 8 months old and is now in their preschool on site. I would highly recommend it. Caring, professional, person-centered, welcoming and safe. Communication on all aspects of my daughter. Parents app, which helps me with
my separation anxiety.

Both my children have attended this nursery with one not due to leave for a few years. They have both settled well, developed really strong relations with their key workers and enjoy the freedom they are given to learn through play. The outside space is fantastic and my youngest especially loves the
access he has to the outside whenever he can.

After working in nurseries previously, I thought putting my child in one would be hard work as I'd pick up on things others wouldn't. This nursery, however, I had no worries at all sending my child there. With a completely relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, I was put at ease, my child loves coming here
and has come on so much since being here. I would highly recommend the nursery to people.

This nursery has been fantastic for our daughter, it has really brought her out of herself developing her soft skills, such as social interactions as well as reading and writing. The staff are warm and friendly, our daughter has bonded well to them and looks forward to attending (something she has hated
with other nurseries). This Nursery has a lovely warm feeling about it and I know when I leave my daughter is in the best possible hands.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.766 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 111 number of registered child places is 22.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.766
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
