At Little Pioneers Chichester they make parents a partner as they know you're the most important person in your child's life. They have regular parent/carer forums, so you can learn all about upcoming events and activities and provide valuable feedback too.
They have an app, ParentZone, which keeps parents/carers updated about their little ones day at nursery, from photos of their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress! They also have 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to make their own decisions to expressing their feelings.
They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They also hold the prestigious Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible), which is an internationally recognised award for a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
They are big on happy children as they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on looking after each other and the world.

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.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for 18 months now and she is very happy there. This is the most important thing for us as parents. All the staff are excellent, incredibly friendly and seem to really enjoy their work. The variety of activities is excellent as is the level and detail of information fed back to parents.
I find the staff especially the one main carer who looks after my son excellent and encouraging. I feel that the nursery is a great place for my son to grow and learn leading up to school. I will be sending my daughter here if possible.

Thank you for your dedication to our child.

Although we always get a few goodbye tears in the morning, my little boy soon settles and has a fab time! Communication is fantastic and everyone seems so caring towards all the children (and he loves all the yummy food too).

Faultless! They are amazing. I’ve used the nursery for a few years with both my sons and we've always been very happy.

A friendly nursery with real care shown for the children attending. My son enjoys attending.
Regular reports on what he has eaten and with the new mix of toys have stopped him feeling bored of toys.

Both of my girls love this nursery. Due to the nature of my job the nurseries opening hours are of great benefit to me. All members of staff are friendly and helpful.

My child has attended nursery for past 18 months. They love nursery days and look forward to next session. The staff cannot be more helpful and approachable if you have any queries. The staff also make the nursery a welcoming home from home for both children, parents, caters and guardians.

My daughter has attended this nursery for a year now, she started in the pre school room and is now about to leave for big school. I was worried initially as she hadn't been around many children and that it would be daunting for her. All of the staff made the transition easy for her and now she has so many friends, I know that leaving will be hard for her. The staff are always happy, friendly and keen to help, even with other children from different rooms. All staff take the time to get to know all of the children from across the nursery. I cannot speak more highly of this nursery and the staff. I would recommend everyone to bring their children here. Thank you all so much.
They both 'love' attending, the staff are almost like family members for them. Their days are filled with fun and learning. The facilities are safe, clean and tidy. They have both made friends.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 10 months old and is about to leave for school in September. He has always enjoyed going once a week to start with and now 3 days a week since he's been in pre-school.

My daughter started attending the Chichester Branch at the age of nine months. I am very pleased with the way she has developed. She is provided with varied meals and is afforded numerous opportunities to learn through play. She has formed attachments with her key workers which has aided her feelings of security. The only disappointment is that now she is being potty trained we have to provide the nursery with her pullups.

Both of my children have attended the Chichester Co-operative Nursery since they were 10/11 months old. They have both been really well looked after, nurtured and challenged. The staff are wonderful and I feel they really care about both of them. The managers are very approachable and listen and address any problems or questions you may have. The activities, food and resources are great and their safeguarding is second to none. Both my husband and I are thrilled with the choice we made to send our children there and would recommend to anyone.
My son has been coming to the nursery since he was 9 months old (now 2 1/2). He loves coming to nursery and seeing his friends and teachers. Great setting and great staff. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

My child has great relationships with the friendly staff. Staff are helpful caring and genuine. Activities are varied and creative. The food seems good in terms of variety and my wishes are followed such as no sugar.

Outstanding support from all staff. Being a first-time mum I've felt stuck in a few situations where preschool staff have assisted and made both myself and child happy and comfortable. Lovely, friendly, welcoming environment for both child and family of the child, great classrooms plenty to do. I have already recommended the nursery and preschool to other parents and guardians.
