Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Chichester

My daughter and now my son have loved going to this wonderful nursery. They are excited to go every day and are well looked after. I do not have a bad thing to say. Keep up the good work, we still have one more child to start with you.

They’re also so flexible! I love this nursery and cannot fault the staff! Thank you for looking after my babies.

We searched for a long time for a nursery for our shy 3-year-old daughter this time last year. We visited several in the Chichester area and although many were probably sufficient we were not wowed until we met the team at The Co-operative Nursery. We had some settling in sessions with our daughter who, on a personal level found the transition very challenging from being at home to three days a week in a totally new environment. However, the staff made us feel totally accepted, there was never a problem and we felt fully comfortable leaving our little one in their hands for the allocated days. The management team and staff at The Co-Operative genuinely care and nothing is ever too much trouble. In 12 months our daughter has gone from crying when we left her to looking forward to her next day at nursery. It is amazing how the staff seem to enjoy their work even though I imagine it must be very challenging for them too. We cannot ever thank the team enough for the support, care and commitment given!

This nursery is amazing. My child loves to go to nursery. They supported him when he first started after a bad experience at another nursery. He learns so much as well as having fun. All the staff are lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff, amazing children, couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for all that you do.

The staff have been kind, friendly and very helpful. My daughter and her key worker have a lovely bond and my daughter's other teachers are fantastic as well. The nursery has very good opening hours.

Great facilities, fabulous range of toys and engaging activities for the children in all age groups. Lots of different activities each week, daily reports on my child’s day eg sleep, meals etc. A rotating meal plan with healthy snacks in between which keeps my kids well fed. My only negative comment would be there are often several staff changes at once where staff seem to change career, go on maternity leave etc - out of the co-op's control mostly and the constant yearly hike of fees with no loyalty reward for parents who put several children through the nursery. Chichester's manager is always on top of things and very easy to communicate with, always gets straight back to me if I ever have a question. Head office, on the other hand, I’ve never had a good experience with!

Since my daughter started at Chichester nursery her development has been amazing, cannot fault anything. All staff are very caring and approachable.

The staff are excellent and both my children have loved being a part of the nursery however due to another price increase we are moving to another facility.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff, always helpful and always help me with extra days if I needed it. Being self employed and a single dad any support is amazing and they always do their best to help me even at last minute. Best nursery in West Sussex! They have transformed my daughter over the last few years and now she's school ready. Thank you all.

Wonderful staff who care for the children like their own in a lovely family type environment. The nursery has fantastic direct outdoor access allowing the children to be outside as much as possible. Our daughter loves it and is happy and relaxed there.

Our son also went there at preschool age and we have had a very positive experience at every stage of their development with a great balance of nurturing education and free play.

My son has been attending this nursery for only a few weeks but I’m so happy with the environment and the friendly atmosphere. I always get told information about his day and I know when I leave him he is in safe hands. So thank you for looking after him.

The entire staff are fantastic with the children, building a great rapport and taking personal interest in them all. Being all pediatric first aid trained, you know they are in safe hands and feel safe leaving your child with them.

Absolutely love our nursery! Our son has been going there for about 18 months and I don't have a single bad word to say about the nursery. The staff are lovely, very friendly and we feel our son is in incredibly safe and competent hands when we drop him off there. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech (he has been seeing a speech therapist up until recently) and we have really appreciated the time and effort the nursery staff have put into helping him with this development. I have recommended the nursery to several friends and colleagues and if we have any more children, I wouldn't hesitate in sending them to this lovely nursery :-)

We have a daily update when he is there about his day through an app called parent zone. This helps to reassure us that he is happy and settled when in their care.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 9 months old. The staff have been extremely friendly, kind and supportive. I feel confident and happy when I drop my son off and know he will have a great day. My son was diagnosed with autism in August 2017. The nursery has been with us every step of the way and has adapted and met our needs as a family. His key worker is just amazing and has a lovely bond with him.

Really happy with the nursery. Feel comfortable leaving my son with all the lovely staff there. We look forward to receiving updates from his day and the photos through the week.

This nursery go above and beyond to provide extra special care for our children. They ensure each and every child is treated and cared for as an individual, rather than a 'one size fits all' approach, which is incredibly important for our autistic son. The children are spoilt for choice when it comes to indoor and outdoor activities. We never worry about leaving our son here and we're just about to start our 11-month-old too. Thank you for all your hard work!

My son thoroughly enjoys his time at The Co-operative Childcare Chichester Nursery. Both my partner and I work full time, so our son spends a lot of time there. Staff are great! They are friendly and approachable. They have been a great support and play a fantastic part in my son's development.

My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting in 2016.
