Our son is extremely happy at the nursery. The site is excellent and brilliantly looked after and the staff are wonderful. We get the real sense that our son is well cared for and treated as part of the family. The enthusiasm with which staff speak about his progress and participation reflects how committed they are to his development and the quality of his experience there. I would happily recommend the nursery to anyone :)

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 a lot for all your hard work!

Such a lovely nursery! So happy our son goes here, he absolutely loves his time each week. The staff are amazing and also go above and beyond. All so so friendly and we are always kept well informed with everything.

My children have been always happy in this nursery, they love it! The staff is really great, they manage well all the activities and they know how to engage the children! The place is always clean and they have a lot of resources at hand for the little ones to enjoy!

The Nursery and its staff are truly exceptional. Throughout every challenge we've faced, whether it was settling in, sickness, or welcoming a new baby. The support we've received has been outstanding. The facilities are top notch, clean, well maintained and welcoming, with spacious outdoor areas that continue to improve. The care and activities provided to our little one on a weekly basis are thoughtful, creative, and full of love. I can only speak in the highest regard for everyone working there. They consistently go above and beyond. We also appreciate how well informed we are about updates and changes, activities and learning they do, which is incredibly important to us. We are so grateful for the wonderful care and attention our child receives at this nursery.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are utterly wonderful and she often doesn’t want to come home! We are so glad that we chose Little Pioneers. I truly feel like my little one is in very safe hands there.

This nursery had a recent Ofsted rating of Outstanding and it shows. The staff are lovely and welcoming, my children go in happily and have lots to tell me at the end of the day. We get daily updates and handovers upon collection. The app posts weekly observations with photos and suggestions of things we can do at home to help development. My children have both flourished, making friendships, refining their fine and gross motor skills, developed their language and knowledge covering lots of exciting topics which the children help set. The two outdoor garden spaces are large, and well catered for the different stages of development with lots of toys including slides, sandpit and trikes to play with. The food is great for dietary requirements including veganism which was a big plus point for us. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their child to learn in a safe, fun, thriving environment.

We absolutely love this nursery! Our little one is always so happy when we pick him up and has so much fun. The fact that the nursery is equipped with excellent professionals and good material for playtime surely is the reason for this. We as parents also feel supported, as we all work closely whenever a concern arises with our son. We found that the advice from his key person has been really invaluable.

What a fantastic nursery! The facilities are top notch and the staff so warm and welcoming. Everything is taken care of, from nutritious meals to provision of nappies and suncream so all you need to worry about is how much fun your little one is having with the range of activities that are always on the agenda. The outdoor space is also fab and really fun for children to explore. I’d highly recommend this nursery.

My son started at this nursery in the ladybird's room in September last year, he is absolutely thriving and it’s such an exciting part of our day checking the app to see what he has been up to each day. The staff are fantastic, all so knowledgeable and easy to chat with. His relationship with his key worker as well as the other adults in his room is so lovely. I’ve loved the stay-and-play days they’ve done where we’ve had the opportunity to join in on activities. I’d definitely recommend it to other parents in the area.

An absolutely wonderful nursery, really can’t praise it highly enough. The staff show a genuine care of the children and oversee a wide range of fun and educational activities every day. The communication is second to none, not only on a day-to-day level (food, naps etc.), but also on a wider level from nursery management. Both my daughters have attended full-time and always go in with a big smile on their faces and come home full of stories about all the brilliant things they’ve got up to. They couldn’t be happier. The food is fantastic too.

Not a bad word to say about the nursery, my son is always having the time of his life when I come to collect him. The staff are so welcoming and lovely and my son's communication and knowledge get better every time he comes home, highly recommend!
06 February 2024
Great nursery, all the staff are lovely and helpful. My little boy loves it here especially as the nursery has a great outdoor space and when they can’t go outdoors they bring the outdoors inside with fun activities. My son has grown so much as a little person since being here. Thank you all!

Co-op Sussex is an excellent nursery with dedicated staff and great facilities. Our children have been very happy here. There is much to commend it: a varied menu that can be tailored to a child’s needs, clean and spacious rooms, and outdoor play areas with a range of activities. The management is quick to respond to any inquiries.

We are extremely happy and impressed with the Co-op Childcare Sussex Nursery. The staff are extremely kind and caring, very responsive and supportive, and clearly take great pride in providing the best possible experience to the children in their care. The food options are fresh and very desirable for the children whilst remaining healthy and nutritious. The feedback from all staff members is prompt and supportive, and they are really encouraging for us as first-time parents. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

Would recommend this nursery to friends and family, have always felt very welcomed by the staff. The environment feels safe and great communication with the room staff members. My son has always been happy to go to nursery and can’t wait to hear about his next adventures!

I’ve had some bad experiences with nurseries in the past for my older child, however, our Co-op nursery has been absolutely fantastic in every sense of the word. The staff have built a genuine connection with my son and appreciate him for all of his cheeky and charming ways. They’ve helped him in so many ways socially and cognitively. I love that they don’t have any screens so there’s no leaving children watching cartoons, every activity is engaging and developmentally appropriate. I also love that they try to limit plastic toys and follow a Montessori approach. The setting of the nursery is incredible with a lovely foyer for parents to sit in and an amazing garden. I’ve always felt heard and supported and that my child’s best interest has always been valued. My child has made amazing memories for a lifetime here and I can’t fault them in the slightest!

I find this to be an excellent nursery which has exceeded my expectations many times. They pay close attention to all the types of individual needs of the children and check in with the parents whenever needed. They have a nice outdoor area with many toys and many activities and resources in the rooms. In the preschool, they have a timetable, and structured learning-through-play activities as well as free play time, and they even start reading and writing. They provide written feedback frequently and verbal feedback daily. The office and room staff are all highly professional, competent and approachable in my experience. It is true that it may be slightly expensive compared to other places, but I think this is because the quality is very high and they provide everything you need such as nappies, food and sun cream. The reviews on this site seem to have improved over time so it seems that in the past few years they have improved the nursery, also in terms of looking after the staff.
