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 has been at the nursery for 3 years and has been here since the age of 1. Whilst she only attends 1 day a week, I can see how much she has developed while at the school. The staff are lovely and are very informative. The food given to the children in substantial and there is a variety...
It value for money and is more affordable to other nurseries. I'm grateful for the my daughter time at the nursery/preschool and all the support she has recieved while she's been here.
I have nothing but the highest praise and view of Little Pioneers at Sussex. My daughter is very speech delayed at 2.5 with minimal speech and has also been referred for Autism assessment as well as having a severe restricted diet and the nursery have been phenomenal with supporting her and us in...
I have nothing but the highest praise and view of Little Pioneers at Sussex. My daughter is very speech delayed at 2.5 with minimal speech and has also been referred for Autism assessment as well as having a severe restricted diet and the nursery have been phenomenal with supporting her and us in every way possible. They proactively put plans in place to support her and discuss with us in depth steps going forward and her next goals and the ways in which they will be promoting these steps. Communication is the best I've experienced and our daughters little wins are the staffs wins and they are just as thrilled as we are when she makes progress and meets goals. They completely understand our daughter and the support both we and our daughter receive is over and above standard and we couldn't be more grateful. I truly could not thank them enough.

This is a fantastic nursery. My son has been going 4 days a week since 11 months and he is about to start pre school. The staff are brilliant and knowledgeable and help to foster a very friendly, happy atmosphere. My son has made very close bonds with his peers from a really young age and loves going. We have just had our second and will be sending him there too once I am back at work.

When i come to pick her up i witness her with a big smile on her face which is always lovely to see.

Our child loves attending the nursery! Their key person is so attentive and has helped them gain in confidence. The nursery facilities are great too, particularly the garden. Also the food provided is great, our child is a bit fussy but the staff always try to accommodate them and think of ways to introduce the food so that they might be more inclined to eat it.
I noticed the difference on how fast my child is learning after nursery. I feel tranquil because, picture of my child doing the activities are shared often. This helps me to make me feel as I am not missing things. I appreciate the support from all the people working in there, from the chef, the...

Little Pioneers in Sussex is such a wonderful, caring and nurturing environment. My son has been attending since July 2025 and has settled in so well. He's really bonded positively with his key person and is getting fantastic opportunities to learn, play and thrive. The detailed monthly updates on his development are really great insights, and it's so heartening to see how happy he is there. He also really does well with his food there and I'm often a little jealous of the menu. Massive thanks to the Little Pioneers team and a particular shout out to Zo!

My boy is very clingy to me but as soon as we arrive I'm forgotten in favour of his key worker. There's no anxiety from either of us about him being there. They keep my updated with messages and pictures.
The growth I have seen in him is amazing hes learnt so much already! Hes gone from being an anxious baby to a confident toddler.
Our son has been going to this nursery for well over a year, and we have always felt that he was well taken care of. The staff are supportive and helpful, especially when he struggled a bit with settling in the new group (when he moved up to an older age group). We think he's happy at the nursery,...

We think he's happy at the nursery, which is all one can wish for!
We are new to the nursery, but they have worked really hard to help settle our son when starting nursery, particularly the staff in the ladybird room who have given him (and us parents) so much reassurance. We know it is a wonderful place and we look forward to seeing our son learn and grow there!

My son has some speech difficulties, and the support he receives has been amazing. His speech has come on so much since being there, and it has been incredible to see his confidence grow.
The food can be hit and miss for my very fussy little eater, but the staff always make sure there is always something available that he will eat, which I really appreciate. He has recently started refusing daytime naps, which can be challenging when the mini meltdowns happen, but the staff are always so caring, patient, and supportive.
Communication has been exceptional throughout, and I couldn't be more grateful for the love, care, and dedication they show my son every single day.
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts both parents and children at ease. The staff are exceptional, genuinely caring, and deeply committed to creating a safe, stimulating, and...
The learning opportunities provided are outstanding and the outdoor space is excellent, with bike tracks, mud kitchen and a sand pit. Indoors, the rooms are bright, spacious, and filled with engaging resources tailored to different age groups.
Communication with parents is good. Through the family app, we receive daily updates, photos, and detailed feedback on meals, naps, and developmental progress.
In short, this nursery combines professional excellence with genuine warmth and it's a place where children flourish. If you're looking for a setting that is outstanding for early years education, this is the perfect choice.

The staff are so personal always creating time for a chat and update and putting the children first, forming firm bonds that have aided their development. The nursery has a lovely outdoor space which was vital to me for my children. They always safeguard appropriately, ensuring who picks up and that they are approved. The food is varied and healthy, allowing for my exposure to different foods. Words can't describe how much of a relief it was finding a nursery that's so accommodating and child/family focused, really puts my mind at ease.
Great nursery. Really caring and helpful staff who provide good feedback and can manage individual requests. Great indoor and outdoor play areas. Little one likes the food. Really feel like she's cared for and enjoys being there.

The staff is so helpful, kind, caring and supportive. We have been very fortunate to have a place for our second child here. My older one was struggling with her language and behaviour when we move to England, but the coop staff made a huge impact on her and we were very grateful for it. Thank you...
