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.

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.

We are really happy with the care our children receive at this nursery. We feel that both are really cared for not just looked after. Both children enjoy their time at nursery, learning and socialising with their peers. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Always very friendly and always kept up to date! My child loved all the workers. Couldn't fault them. He always comes home learning something new. The food was always wonderful and I'm a fussy food mum, they provide very nutritional and a great selection of food for the children,

I booked the place in The Co-operative Childcare Chichester Nursery a year in advance because I liked it so much and wanted to save the place much early. My daughter started Nursery 3 weeks ago at the age of 10 months. She was never away from me so I was extremely nervous. On the contrary, she gets...
The staffs are fantastic and very friendly.
It is the new start for us and I am confident in saying that I am giving my daughter the best I could now.
I have nothing negative to say about this nursery. From the moment I viewed it with my toddler, I knew it was where I would be sending him. He had trouble with me leaving him at first, but the staff there were so helpful and supportive that he now goes in before me and waves me off. His speech has...
I have nothing negative to say about this nursery. From the moment I viewed it with my toddler, I knew it was where I would be sending him. He had trouble with me leaving him at first, but the staff there were so helpful and supportive that he now goes in before me and waves me off. His speech has come along so well since starting three weeks ago and I am amazed by how quick he has learnt and that's down to all of the staff at the nursery. I would and have been recommending this place to anyone that will listen.

The amazing team who care for each child's daily needs individually. The team support and develop the child's learning against the curriculum and assist and encourage in all areas. Both my child and baby enjoy attending the nursery. I never have any worries or concerns when they are in the teams care. The staff in the baby room has helped my clingy child develop into her own individual person by crawling and self-feeding, she is almost one. The nursery is the best place for any child and feels lucky to occupy two spaces weekly.
My son attended this nursery from 9 months old, right up to school. He loved it. Staff are friendly and helpful, keen to help the children learn and progress. Children get on well with them all. My daughter will be attending soon too.

My baby is just settling into the nursery and gets excited when he goes into the room. The staff are friendly and see to his needs. I've been asked lots of questions to ensure they are meeting his every need and following his routine.

My daughter enjoys coming to The Co-operative Childcare Chichester Nursery. There is an array of resources to challenge her mind and she enjoys the space she has and the choice. She enjoys the outdoor space and activities.

My two year old has been going to The Co-operative Childcare Chichester Nursery for a year now, I have always been very happy with her care and support by all the girls. She always comes home very happy and chatty, although she can be shy, they do their best to make her feel happy and safe. She will be increasing her hours next year and my younger daughter will be attending twice a week too. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone.
Well organised, friendly attentive staff, good outdoor activities and supervised play. Long opening hours which is good for shift workers. Only issue is very busy which makes changing days/ad hoc extra sessions difficult.

My Daughter has settled very well in the under 2's room they cater for my daughter's individual needs due to her heart condition.
She has a great relationship with the staff and loves the food.
I would defiantly recommend.

My daughter has been at Chichester Co-operative Nursery since she was 10 months old. The staff are fantastic and my daughter loves it so much she is excited to go in the morning and does not want to rush home when I pick her up.

My Son has been at the nursery since he was 10 months old and is due to finish this August. I viewed many nurseries and I must say that the moment I walked into the Cooperative Nursery the welcome was so warm and the staff were so willing to chat that once I had viewed the nursery my mind was made up. Since then the care my son has received has been excellent, the staff team are consistent and really do know the children that they look after well. My son has flourished and become a truly independent little boy and I have to say that I dont think he would have come on as far without the input of the nursery and the social aspect that this provided him in his life. They are open and honest at all times and truly dedicated to ensuring that each child is unique and plans the day and activities accordingly. They also go above and beyond compared to nurseries my friends children are at for example the introduction of learning French and putting on events such as a recent nativity. I highly recommend the nursery I cant praise the team enough.
My daughter has been here for 11 months she is very happy. She has come on in leaps and bounds, she is outgoing and likes all staff.
