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. They also hold the prestigious Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible), which is an internationally recognised award for a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They are big on happy children as they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on looking after each other and the world.

Little Pioneers Chichester Nursery's indoor learning environment consists of 3 rooms split into the following age groups: 3 months to 2 year olds, 2 to 3 year olds, and 3 to 5 year olds. The nursery has a lovely outdoor garden area that all children have access to from their own individual rooms at any time.

My granddaughter has recently started at the nursery and has done so well since she started. The staff are very friendly, helpful and are fantastic with the children. I would highly recommend them. The learning environment is brilliant and there is a lovely undercover outside play area that the children
can use.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Chichester is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.913 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Chichester is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Chichester is based on 26 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
