  • Co-op Childcare Littlehampton, Littlehampton
Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is a purpose-built nursery and is made up of six rooms and a large garden.

They have areas for growing food ( and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and care for each other and the world. Their ParentZone app keeps parents/carers informed about their little ones at nursery with photos from their day, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

They are big on safety and that's why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with the children, from encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world.

They hold the silver award in the green flag eco schools programme which sees children lead the way in making a little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

At Co-op Childcare Littlehampton they like to learn through play with regular Forest School inspired activities where they encourage all of their children to explore outdoors as part of their development.

My daughter loves going to nursery! Never have to make her! She comes home having had a great day, worn out after lots of painting and crafting that I can’t let her do at home as much because of her little brother.


She loves the staff who make such an effort to get to know her.

My son has been coming to nursery for the past 4 months and has had a few issues not to do with nursery but they have been completely understanding in his issues.
He has settled well and is easing into nursery life.
The overall nursery is great However, I would like to see more pictures of what he’s
been doing/eating etc.
The nursery would benefit from a school hour day prices or 9-3.
Flexibility to move booked days around due to flexible working/ shift patterns.

Wonderful facilities and always do great activities with the children and nice observations. Give us good ideas for things to do at home and also a great variety of food.
A couple of times nappy should have been changed and got sore but I am sure that could happen anywhere.

The nursery is really nice, the activities are good and my child is happy. I don't like that the washing facilities are separated- hot and cold water, for so small children, they are washing their hands mainly with cold water, which I don't like,and in preschool looks like no one is helping them when
they are using the toilet, they still need some help.

Lovely nursery with lots of toys and activities for the children to do, my daughter has settled well into the pre school room. The only down side is sometimes the lack of communication.

Our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Littlehampton nursery. The staff go over and beyond with the care and enthusiasm for the children. Always lots of activities and events and new things for the children to see and do. My two children have learned so much in their time there. Only leaving
because we are moving away from the area.

Our daughter has been at nursery for 3yrs. She has been across 2 rooms and each room has had outstanding staff. Both her key workers have been amazing, as have all the staff involved with our daughter. Even when the staff see our daughter they still remember her name and talk to her. Our daughter is
very happy at nursery and looks forward to the 3 days there. The Activities that are provided indoors and outdoors are all superb. We’ve seen our daughter really develop and comes home wanting to write her name and numbers.


Highly recommend

We moved my son to this nursery at just under 2 and I was extremely worried about the changeover, to start with he really struggled as I'd expected but the staff were brilliant. I explained that I have an anxiety disorder and they did everything to help me cope with his meltdown.
He's now in preschool
and the staff are beyond amazing. He looks forward to nursery and comes home covered in all sorts of dirt and food which to me says he's been kept busy all day.
We've had an incident with another child where my son got hurt and they called, explained, asked us to come and get him checked, even dropping my partner to the doctors and collecting him after as he didn't have the car.
We have a chat with all the staff on drop off and collection and I know my son is in good hands.


Overall they are just brilliant and I'm so glad I moved him here.

Choosing this nursery was the best decision we made for our daughter, she has cerebral palsy and walks with a walking frame. The staff give her so much support and aim to give her as much independence as possible and including her in everything. Our daughter is treated like a normal child here and in
the two months since she started she has more vocabulary, is walking better and is so much more confident. The nursery offers a great range of activities for the children, their outdoor areas are brilliant and they offer a broad range of meals. There is a parents' online portal where they submit pictures and comments about your child and what they have done during the day which is reassuring and keeps the parents involved. Would highly recommend the Co-operative Nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2017 and so far it has been amazing, he absolutely loves it and he has made so many friends.
The ladies seem great and always greet my son with a friendly smile and always seem happy so see him, when I go to pick him up at the end of his day I
get told everything he has done during the day in detail which is really great to hear. The rooms are absolutely lovely and the garden is amazing, I really would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Really nice nursery, can't fault the staff and they always have set plans for the children (rather than just letting them do what they want all day) - plenty of times my daughter has come home with things (food, paintings etc) she's made, which is nice to see.


They are also genuinely concerned about

how children progress - one of the staff seemed particularly happy about my daughter's speech improving. It's comforting to see that they genuinely care - rather than just seeing it as a job.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) out of 10 for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.967 for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.967

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.676 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Co-op Childcare Littlehampton is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 111 number of registered child places is 22.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.676

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
