Co-op Childcare Sussex

I have recommended this nursery to many friends and colleagues and think the staff all deserve medals for the hard work they put in!

This is a fantastic nursery and pre-school. My child is very happy here and I would recommend it to anyone.

We moved to England about half a year ago and just cannot believe what significant progress my daughter has made. Enrolling her in the nursery was a great decision because she has become so chatty in speaking English. Even though she moved up to another room a few months ago, she got great support in transition. She sometimes goes to visit her 'old room' and meets with her 'old teachers'. Every time I pick her up, she feels very happy. The Nursery was built for child care purposes so all the rooms are in a good size and there is a nice sized garden. I would definitely recommend the Nursery.

This nursery is very special, my daughter has been in the preschool room since Sep 2019 and all the carers there are fantastic, they have a duty of care and help children to reach their own potential. The room manager is always listening to my comments and concerns about my daughters development and I see my daughter growing in confidence as in learning, playing and enjoys time with other children. The nursery management is also good, always trying to help and improve and attracting good practices from other nurseries. Suggestions: it would be good for the food menus to be more balanced including more veggies, we recognized the effort of the management team to change this. The parent zone app is excellent but more updates on time during the day will be great. We think that having a Logbook again for parents to take home during weekends to do activities and share with nursery will be fantastic. This nursery is a wonderful place for children, I always recommend to all my friends at Uni.

The nursery is lovely: the staff are caring and understanding. Our daughter quickly developed a good relationship with her key person as well as the other carers in her group. Also the indoor and outdoor areas are fantastic. For us, it is also a big plus that I may feed my daughter in the cosy entrance area before dropping her off/picking her up. I was a little sceptical about the use of digital learning technologies/a smart screen, as NHS and WHO alike recommend no screen time for children younger than 18-24 months. But it does not seem to be in use for the youngest ones that often. Also, may be useful for some new parents: It seems common in the UK to allow children older than six months to sleep on their tummy. If you do not wish so, it's good to mention that initially. Overall, we are very happy so far (having joined two months ago).

My daughter went to this nursery since she was 10 months, she has just started school and we all miss the nursery so much, the staff are lovely and my child has started school full of confidence and with a kid's understanding of what’s expected of her. I have and will recommend this nursery to anyone.

Although location was a significant factor in the initial choice of nursery, first impressions were very good. Several years on now and I would say that staff are attentive, caring and educated. The facilities are great, so many happy children crawling and running around. Mealtimes are nutritious and can form part of parent involvement by cooking the recipes at home. Children have lots of sensory, physical and mental challenges and activities. And with help from your key person, these can also continue at home for more fun and learning! There's even more feedback and engagement available - trips out, cycling lessons, potty training, fussy food help, sleeping help. Available if you need it or want it, in a very supportive and non-judgemental way. I heartily recommend The Co-Operative nursery at Falmer.

Our twin boys absolutely LOVE the nursery and the staff and with good reason. Inventive, creative, supportive and caring. Great outdoor spaces with attention to detail. Our boys are growing in leaps and bounds with the nursery workers guidance and care. We're really looking forward to them moving up to pre-school in September to continue their development. Thank you to all the staff, you work so so hard and do an amazing job, it really is appreciated.

My son goes here and I know he's getting a lot out of it. I have found all of the staff there very friendly but also professional.

I have also felt very happy that the staff listen carefully to parents and are always supportive and helpful. We will miss coming to nursery when that start school in a few weeks.

Both of my sons have attended this lovely nursery and they, and we, love it! Despite my initial reservations about the size of the rooms, when my eldest started there in preschool I quickly realised that my fears were unfounded and he thrived. My three year old has been there since the age of one and also is thriving! The staff are kind, caring and treat each child as an individual. The facilities and garden space are second to none and the effort they put into making the rooms and the kids time there fun, informative and educational is amazing. Nothing but good words to say! Oh, and the food is also healthy and great!

My daughter has been going to the nursery for three years and my son is about to start there. I am very happy with everything. The staff are really great - highly skilled and lovely people. The building and facilities are also really good. Couldn't ask for more!

This nursery has been fantastic for my child. I was very nervous about sending my daughter to nursery and as she hadn't been without me before and took a while to settle into the routine of being there. However, the staff were incredible at not only supporting my daughter but also making sure that I felt really happy with the process. In the time that she has been there I have seen her learn so much from all the different activities they set up and each member of staff has been incredibly helpful and nurturing for my child. The facilities and resources there are wonderful. I am extremely happy that I chose this nursery and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of sending their child there.

My son has attended the Co-Operative Nursery in Sussex campus for 3 years now and loves it. The staff provide the right balance of fun and education. The staff are great and the building centred around the garden is perfect for my outdoors-loving child.

Our 16-month-old is very settled and happy at nursery, they are always doing creative and fun things like getting the cars muddy then having a car wash setup and using various things to 'cook' in the mud kitchen.

This is a very reasonably priced nursery for the outstanding experience offered. I cannot imagine sending my baby anywhere else.

He has had 4 keyworkers so far and each has gone out of their way to really get to know him and create a strong bond to ensure he is comfortable when moving up through the rooms.

I find this nursery to have very friendly staff and a lovely calm atmosphere. My child has been extremely happy here for the past year and a half. Staff will focus on the individual child's needs and development to help them achieve targets and goals willingly.

The nursery has been wonderful for both of my daughters. My eldest left the pre-school happy, confident and prepared for school, in which she is now thriving both in her learning and socially, despite starting the school knowing no other children there. I believe the wonderful care, support and environment in pre-school was a major factor in this smooth transition.

My youngest daughter adores nursery and talks about the caring staff and the lovely friends she has met there. There is always interesting and fun activities provided, an amazing garden to play in and wonderful food (in which she always has a second serving!).

The staff are so warm, friendly and caring and show genuine interest in each child. All the children are caring and respectful of each other which makes for a kind, considerate and safe environment for them to play together. I always feel like I am leaving my daughter in safe hands in a place where she is very happy to be.

My little boy loves going to nursery. The staff are wonderful and the facilities outstanding! I have recommended the nursery to many friends.
