About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My daughter goes to Co-op Childcare Chichester, they've been brilliant with helping her speech and general development by organising activities aimed to support her in the areas she is weakest. The food is healthy and enjoyed by my daughter.

I moved my daughter over to the Co-op Childcare Chichester nursery in April 2021 and she settled in so quickly, all the girls are amazing and welcoming. Mu daughter has really built a bond with her key person who is always honest with letting me know how my daughter's day has been. I would highly recommend Chichester nursery to anyone looking for a nursery that feels like a home from home for the child.
All the staff are helpful and allow me to comment on my son's care needs. All the staff are really friendly and make us feel as comfortable as possible. The food is to a good standard and I know that they don’t force things on my son.

The team at the nursery are excellent and have provided fantastic care for our son over the last 2 1/2 years. The team really get to know each child and tailor their approach to suit them. He’s very happy there, which is obviously the most important consideration.

My son started here when he was 11 months old. The settle in sessions were brilliant to get them used to new surroundings especially after the first lockdown. He has gained so much from this nursery. Development wise - he's grown so much through the staff engaging, the activities, the social side and new experiences. The children have regular assessments that are sent to the parents through the parent zone app. I love these updates and pictures of him playing in the nursery garden. He's very content there and loves going in and seeing the ladies that work there, like a second family to him. Thank you each and every one of you for your ongoing support and hard work in the pandemic. You're all superstars.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since September 2020. I can honestly say she absolutely loves it! It took her a couple of weeks to settle in, but since then she runs to the door every morning eager to go in. The nursery staff have been fantastic and always give you a detailed brief on her day when we go and collect her. This is extremely important to us as it reassures me that she is having a good time while socialising and learning. I was extremely nervous about sending my daughter to nursery for multiple reasons, especially as she has allergies. The nursery has dealt with her allergies amazingly, and we never feel like a burden when she has had other medical issues. Another big bonus is that the nursery are happy to use our cloth nappies! Overall, I couldn't be more happy with the care my daughter has received. Thank you so much!

The nursery is nothing but fantastic. My daughter has learnt so much while there and the staff have encouraged her every step along the way. Nothing has ever been too much trouble.
I could not recommend this nursery enough!

I cannot praise this nursery enough. My little boy was at another nursery for 2.5 years, it went downhill and he was really unhappy going in. I moved him to Co-op Childcare Chichester and what a difference. He is so much happier and has made lots of friends. I was previously worried about how he would cope going to school but due to the support of the staff there, I now think he’ll settle just fine. The staff are brilliant and the communication is excellent. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
Absolutely fantastic setting for early years. Fantastic welcoming staff who go above and beyond for each child. Really impressed with the progress my son is making in his preparations for big school! Always clean and welcoming.

Fantastic. Staff are lovely, my son frequently talks about them and what he’s done. He has a great time and is always happy to go inside. They post regular updates of activities done including pictures. Would 100/% recommend.

Our daughter has made such good friends here and loves her key workers.
We started a few weeks before the pandemic and the staff were so brilliant with communication of allowances, rules and how they can help us if needed.
I have recommended this nursery to several friends and will continue to do so!
My son has always been and probably always will be painfully shy. He's slow to make friends and very nervous about being left.

My son has always been and probably always will be painfully shy. He's slow to make friends and very nervous about being left. We've had so many tears and struggles, but his key worker and the nursery have completely accepted him just as he is, and gently encouraged him, going at his speed. They're not afraid to give him big cuddles and be there for him. We're now at a point where he will (mostly!) go to nursery happily, he's made special friends and he's absolutely in love with his key worker. He's also vegetarian and a bit of a fussy eater. But nearly every day he comes home having eaten everything! Overall, couldn't be happier.
We are so glad that we chose this nursery for our son. First and most importantly he absolutely loves it there - he is greeted each morning with a smiling face and can't wait to get through the door. The staff are fantastic and as he has progressed through each room it has been lovely to see all...
We are so glad that we chose this nursery for our son. First and most importantly he absolutely loves it there - he is greeted each morning with a smiling face and can't wait to get through the door. The staff are fantastic and as he has progressed through each room it has been lovely to see all of the progress he has made. The staff know him as an individual and even create learning activities for him based on some of his favourite things. We love seeing pictures of him having fun during the day - this week he has been planting seeds and dressing up! He loves the food and it's great to know that this is cooked fresh on site. Overall it's lovely to see him welcomed into such a caring and fun environment.
My children are both attending Co-op Childcare Chichester and they absolutely love it. The staff are so kind and understanding of personal circumstances and easily adapt to children's individual needs.

It's really nice to know the key worker has a deeper relationship with their keyworker children and that it's not just a "glorified title".
Communication with nursery is very easy and efficient and any concerns are very efficiently sorted out.
I count not recommend them highly enough.

My little boy has been at the nursery since just before he turned one. He is now eighteen months. He has thrived so much in the space of just six months. He has started talking and using simple sign language such as please, more of which I know has definitely been taught by the nursery staff. Since we have also been living in the pandemic it’s nice that he has still be able to interact with other children in the nursery due to me being a key worker. The nursery staff have been amazing throughout. My little boy had a strong bond with one member of staff, as he took at least a month to settle in but can now say her name. Also a special thanks to two members of staff in the butterfly room for helping him settle in well. He has started to put words together and I get regular updates and photos. I am so happy with this nursery and I know that he really enjoys his time here. He also eats all the food they give him so must also be good food. Definitely recommend it.
My son has been here for five months now, he started when he was ten months old and absolutely loves it.

From day one we were made to feel so welcome by all the staff, making a nervous mum much more relaxed about leaving their son. He has developed so well and has great relationships with the team in his room. He is happy to leave me every day and the updates we get on him are excellent too!
