What an amazing, beautiful and lovely nursery, it literally has it all. The nursery team are lovely, supportive, professional and caring, you sense a general family atmosphere. The setting is beautiful, well thought out and great for all learning abilities and tasks. The communication and feedback is
wonderful, you couldn't ask for more. On the whole, an absolute delight and perfect for our little ones. Having been around and linked with the nursery sporadically over 14years with various family members and my own children it holds it values, ethics and everything lovely about it.

Both my children currently attend the nursery and they are the most caring, supportive team. We absolutely love our children going there and the environment is very nurturing and educational. Faultless!

My daughter started attending the nursery in 2023 at the age of two and will continue in 2024.
I am so happy with all that the nursery offers.
The teaching staff are amazing, my daughter has taken to all of them and we are greeted by the staff each day they are always on hand for questions or any
help coming in that day.
The activities they run are always well thought out and centred around their development. Lots of event days where people like the police, and firefighters come in and talk to the kids.
A hot cooked meal for lunch where all the children eat together around a table, which helps my daughter eat more. We will be sad to leave.

Excellent nursery. Our child spent a school year at this nursery, and the staff, facilities, activities and everything else have exceeded expectations. Extremely friendly place with a strong focus on each child and their happiness and wellbeing. I have a sensitive, clingy toddler, but she was always
happy to attend right from the start.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Lancing Prep Worthing in 1/23, after his 2nd birthday and after moving from another local nursery. As a professional within education, I was very particular about the requirements that I needed/wanted from a setting. Essentially, I wanted the setting to have it all- quality play
materials in the class, variety of spaces in the learning environment, large yet interactive outdoor play areas, healthy meals, extra activities, clear communication with parents, emphasis on child-led learning/play, high expectations of learning and behaviour, and surrounded by a loving and caring team! Lancing Prep Worthing has all of that and more! I have particularly found the quality of the written reports exceptionally strong- this has supported his growth and my knowledge of his progress. Additionally, the wrap around care/holiday club makes this an ideal setting to establish consistency/routine. The nursery team are dedicated, early years experts that give me the confidence to know my son is loved and learning

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery with caring staff and a wide range of activities for children. Particularly nice is the integration with the Pre-prep school, making the transition for those entering reception seamless. Children are offered swimming, music and yoga sessions with specialist teachers, something that
is quite unique. Would highly recommend.

I moved my son to Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing 2 years ago now and he has truly flourished here. The nursery staff are fantastic and he is extremely fond of them. They are always happy to help with anything needed and go above and beyond for the children. The children have yoga classes,
singing classes, and swimming classes. They sit and have lunch with pre-prep students which my son especially loves. He has really grown and developed in so many aspects since starting here and we will be sad to leave nursery when he goes to reception in September. The facilities are beautiful, with lots of inside and oustide space specifically for nursery. The headteacher and new headteacher are fantastic, they really carry the ethos of creating happy and kind children within the school and nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't really fault this nursery. My daughter attends 2 days a week but feels very much at home here and has made firm friends in this stable, friendly, safe and nurturing environment. The staff are in tune with the children and parents. The staff are friendly and always on hand if you have a query
or question. There are a wide variety of activities, and the nursery has a beautiful outdoor space. The communication via the app is a definite plus. I recommend Lancing Nursery and its staff very highly indeed; we are just very sad that my daughter's time here is at an end.

Excellent nursery and preschool - fantastic care and nurturing environment. My daughter has always loved going. She really enjoys the variety of activities, outdoor space and termly topics. I think the communication via tapestry is great with regards to a food diary, photos of activities and work and
detailed termly reports. The terms are short so the holidays come around quickly but holiday clubs are available most of the time. I would highly recommend them.

Our son has gone to LPW nursery since June 2022 when we moved area. He is a sensitive soul and we thought the change would be really difficult for him but the staff are incredible and are a unique blend of caring and skilled teachers, and they have made the transition so easy.
My main priority was
for his care, but I have to say, I can’t recommend the nursery enough for everything including activities, learning, environment and the most gorgeous outdoor space for them. A nurturing and safe environment.

The staff at Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing are outstanding. They are all friendly and approachable. I think it gives the children a good foundation for starting school. They eat with the older children in the main hall at lunchtime, play in the playground at playtimes and follow a timetable.
They get lots of opportunities to try different things i.e music lessons with the school's music teacher, swimming and yoga.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.719)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.719) out of 10 for Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 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 3.719 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.469
  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.
