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.

Great all round nursery. Both of my children have flourished there. Kind and caring staff with lots of activities planned for the children to take part in. Especially impressed with the link to the Local elderly people’s home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at nursery for 3yrs. She has been across 2 rooms and each room has had outstanding staff. Both her key workers have been amazing, as have all the staff involved with our daughter. Even when the staff see our daughter they still remember her name and talk to her. Our daughter is
very happy at nursery and looks forward to the 3 days there. The Activities that are provided indoors and outdoors are all superb. We’ve seen our daughter really develop and comes home wanting to write her name and numbers.


Highly recommend

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved my son to this nursery at just under 2 and I was extremely worried about the changeover, to start with he really struggled as I'd expected but the staff were brilliant. I explained that I have an anxiety disorder and they did everything to help me cope with his meltdown.
He's now in preschool
and the staff are beyond amazing. He looks forward to nursery and comes home covered in all sorts of dirt and food which to me says he's been kept busy all day.
We've had an incident with another child where my son got hurt and they called, explained, asked us to come and get him checked, even dropping my partner to the doctors and collecting him after as he didn't have the car.
We have a chat with all the staff on drop off and collection and I know my son is in good hands.


Overall they are just brilliant and I'm so glad I moved him here.

Review from Tania (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing this nursery was the best decision we made for our daughter, she has cerebral palsy and walks with a walking frame. The staff give her so much support and aim to give her as much independence as possible and including her in everything. Our daughter is treated like a normal child here and in
the two months since she started she has more vocabulary, is walking better and is so much more confident. The nursery offers a great range of activities for the children, their outdoor areas are brilliant and they offer a broad range of meals. There is a parents' online portal where they submit pictures and comments about your child and what they have done during the day which is reassuring and keeps the parents involved. Would highly recommend the Co-operative Nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2017 and so far it has been amazing, he absolutely loves it and he has made so many friends.
The ladies seem great and always greet my son with a friendly smile and always seem happy so see him, when I go to pick him up at the end of his day I
get told everything he has done during the day in detail which is really great to hear. The rooms are absolutely lovely and the garden is amazing, I really would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really nice nursery, can't fault the staff and they always have set plans for the children (rather than just letting them do what they want all day) - plenty of times my daughter has come home with things (food, paintings etc) she's made, which is nice to see.


They are also genuinely concerned about

how children progress - one of the staff seemed particularly happy about my daughter's speech improving. It's comforting to see that they genuinely care - rather than just seeing it as a job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended this nursery and I have been extremely happy with all my experiences there. They now feel like family. Both my children have been so happy there. They are always engaged in activities and love the garden. My son has informed me he only needs to eat at nursery as their
food is so good.


The communication between the nursery and myself is fantastic, always approachable and any questions have always been answered promptly. Having open drop off and collection times is perfect, if I have to stay on at work I’m not panicking I have to get there for 5 pm. Three meals a day and snacks take so much pressure off in the mornings and the menu is great.


Would definitely recommend every room there. My son has been there for 6 months and it will be sad when we leave this summer for big school.

I have been really impressed with the nursery and the caring team at the Co-Op Littlehampton. This is the first time I've put a baby into a nursery and the staff have been wonderfully friendly and supportive to both myself and our son. He is settling in after only a few weeks and gets on really well
with his key worker who I have found to be very knowledgeable, caring and understanding of him as an individual. Our son is already coming home showing new learning and I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I cannot deny how much my son loves his nursery. I, however, have a few issues which I am trying to ignore for my son's sake.
I do not agree with the automated messages regarding payments. I have an anxiety disorder and recently received an email stating that my son was not welcome at the nursery
until our outstanding payments were sorted. We had nothing outstanding and the money being referred to was a refund issued after they deducted money from my bank when we pay vouchers.
In that same week, my son soiled himself and had his favourite boxers binned and we were not informed. This set us back with our potty training as he thought he was being punished for having diarrhoea. The staff at the nursery are lovely and as much as I would love to see work, paintings, pictures come home, I can't fault for how much my son loves going. As a business, however, it lacks the personal touch in regards to the parents and families. Given my condition, I don't appreciate automated and incorrect emails.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would recommend this Nursery to anyone.


The staff really get to know the children as individuals and treat them as such. They know the children in their care really well and so notice very quickly if they aren't happy or something is worrying them.


Activities are varied and tailored to children's

interests and needs. Children are given the freedom to explore and develop their skills/independence, but with appropriate supervision and support when needed. The balance of play and structured activities in preschool prepares children for their next steps into school, while still allowing plenty of opportunities to be children and enjoy themselves!


The food is of high quality and super yummy!

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 12 weeks old. At all times we have felt safe and confident of the care he is receiving. The daily feedback sheets, regular email and facebook communication plus parent forums and parent meetings mean we are kept completely up to date with his progress.
The wide variety of educational development activities and great resources available mean he has experienced much more than we could have provided at home. He enjoys being at nursery, loves the staff, knows most of them by name now and they know him very well. We would thoroughly recommend the nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.993 for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.993
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is based on 23 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
