Co-op Childcare Sussex

We are very happy with the nursery and especially how they have coped with the frequent changes to government guidelines and how they have communicated it all to us. My child in pre-school is getting a great start ahead of his transition to school in September and he enjoys his time at nursery. My younger child is very happy going to nursery and enjoys the variety of games and activities he does.

My daughter was at a different nursery full time from aged 8 months – 4 years, and I moved her to the Co-Op Childcare nursery in January of this year as it is closer to home. My daughter has settled in wonderfully and talks very enthusiastically about all the things she gets up to. I particularly value the environmentally friendly focus of the nursery, the healthy food the children are served but most importantly the staff are incredibly kind and caring and have become like a second family to my daughter. She couldn’t be happier there.

Excellent nursery, great communication with parents, very good on developmental reviews, our daughter eats very balanced food whilst at nursery and they are always happy to resolve any issue that arises. The space is welcoming and they are always undertaking different activities. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Our daughter has been attending the Co-op Childcare Day Nursery at Falmer since she was 14-months-old. She is enjoying her time there and we love to see her develop, explore and learn new things. The staff and management team are great and have been very supportive. The only thing we would like to see different is if we could receive more photos and updates of her day there, only because everything sounds so exciting.

Outstanding nursery both for facilities and staff. The environment is engaging, inviting and I feel that it supports my children’s age-appropriate development (14-months and 3.5-years). The outside areas are the best I have seen at any nursery. I always feel safe dropping them off and look forward to hearing about their adventures when I collect them.
They have made strong bonds with both their carers and other children. The range of activities on offer is amazing – fun, creative and educational. I have recommended this nursery to a number of friends already. Oh, and the catering is great also.

My daughter has attended the setting since August 2021 which was later than we intended due to the pandemic. As our child was very young when the pandemic hit we were worried about her settling at nursery, yet we were silly to do so! The staff and management reassured us and made our little one feel at ease, safe and secure. Since she has attended the setting she has grown in confidence and has become much more sociable with other children. The environments are welcoming and homely and practitioners are skilled and knowledgeable in their roles. The menus are nutritional and balanced and adapt to dietary needs. I would highly recommend this nursery if they want their child to be in safe hands!

Our eldest son has been at the Co-op Nursery and now Pre-school for the past 3 years, and he has loved his time there. The pandemic has been a tough time for all of us, but the Nursery has battled through, doing their best to keep their services running, and we only had a short time with no childcare, although this was stressful, due to both of us being at work. They kept us up-to-date with developments, and we always felt that our eldest was being well cared for, and was able to forge bonds with other children, and with his key staff members.

It’s now been the first few weeks of our one-year-old starting at nursery, and he has settled in really well. He will have missed the interaction with other babies, so it’s lovely to see him playing with them. The nursery staff already seem pleased with him, and despite some dietary requirements due to a cows milk protein allergy, he has enjoyed snack time and lunchtime. Spaghetti Bolognese!

We couldn’t ask for a better nursery for our daughter, she is so happy there. The attention to every child is brilliant, the smiley welcome every morning, and the focus on each child as an individual are all reasons why we love it so much. It’s clean, the food is great and the staff really tune into the interests of the children and build them into exciting, creative activities. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

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.

I’m so happy with the nursery and all staff are amazing and so welcoming. My son rarely looks back when he arrives, and that just makes me so happy because I know he’ll have loads of playtime with his friends. The fact that the nursery is open pretty much all year around (except weekends, Christmas and Bank holidays) really is great, as you don’t have to take annual leave during the normal half terms or other periods like such, which gives us a lot of freedom to schedule our preferred holiday time.
Premises security, to keep kids safe from outside strangers, was also something we were really concerned about, but the double doors at the entrance keep our peace of mind.
Just love it, the team is great! I 100% recommend this nursery.
