Little Lancing Day Nursery & Forest School

Little Lancing have been fantastic! My son is so happy being there and the nursery staff really know him which is everything you want from a daycare provider as a parent.
They provide lots of opportunities for different experiences, including going for walks along the River Adur and seeing the animals at the local farm.
They have a well equipped garden and lots of messy, sensory play which my son loves.
The staff are always so warm and attentive, helping my son to settle there straight away on drop off.
I would highly recommend this nursery and am very thankful for all the care they provide for my son.

This is a lovely nursery, in a beautiful building with fabulous staff.
My daughter is very happy at the nursery and is always so tired when I pick her up she can barely move. Nothing is too much trouble, there is plenty to eat and drink and the sleeping area has proper cots for babies.
I have already recommended the nursery to a friend!

This is such a wonderful nursery! My children started nursery at Little Lancing a year ago, and I have been so impressed with their care and development. The staff are friendly and attentive towards my children and to us as parents. Communication is excellent, and we can regularly see what our children have been doing using the online portfolio. The rooms are spacious, calm and engaging for children and the outdoor area is great too. Each week the children happily skip into the nursery and come home full of stories of the day. I would highly recommend it.

Little Lancing is incredible. At the start of lockdown, our son’s usual nursery closed and as keyworkers, we had to find a new nursery within days. Little Lancing welcomed him in and helped him settle incredibly quickly. They found out his interests so they could have activities out ready for his settling in session that he would want to play with. We were amazed how quickly he settled and he was soon pushing us out the door in the morning.
The staff at Little Lancing nurtured him and his confidence soared. He had so much fun playing with all the activities and enjoyed his time in the garden. He loved the food provided. The staff were proactive about liaising with staff from his previous nursery and his Speech and Language Therapist to ensure they were providing him with the best possible support. They helped prepare him for the transition to school, which he has now successfully done. We are so grateful for the love and care they gave him, he really blossomed during his time at Little Lancing.

Little Lancing Day Nursery & Forest School is great, my son loves it there. When it’s a nursery day, he’s sitting down on the stairs demanding his shoes so he can go and see his friends! The staff are wonderful, keeping me up to date as to what is my little one is up to all day. I feel that my son is truly flourishing in the nursery.

Our son has loved the first four months at Little Lancing. As first time parents, we did not know what to expect but we have been delighted with the varied activities, the friendly staff that allowed him to settle so quickly. He gets really excited about coming to nursery and we could not recommend it highly enough.

We are so pleased we chose Little Lancing for our daughter as she loves it in Explorers. She has been in two days a week since she was eight months old and staff have all been so good throughout. Thank you all very much.

An absolutely outstanding setting! I was so nervous and apprehensive about sending my child to nursery and found it very hard choosing the right one… until I stepped inside Little Lancing.

It absolutely blew me away – the setting, the management, staff, ethos, resources and provision! From the day I looked around I have always felt such a warm and nurturing feel from everyone who works there and it really is like a family.

During the settling process my little boy was upset (very normal) and so was I! The staff were amazing with us both and reassured me every step of the way with phone calls, messages on the app, photos and videos. They just went the extra mile and still do now even though he is very settled.

Can’t recommend Little Lancing enough!

Starting nursery is a daunting time for parents, but from the very first phone call with one member of staff, in particular, to enquire about our son starting at Little Lancing, we knew we had made the right choice. The warm welcome as he goes in, the fact that all the adults knew his name after his first day, the care when he is unwell and the detailed reports at the end of the day, are just some of the outstanding features this setting offers. Our son’s keyworker is incredible and has already built a highly effective relationship with him (and us!). In just a few short weeks, our son has settled fantastically and absolutely loves coming. We can’t thank the staff enough for what they do and we are so excited to see what progress he makes with them. At Little Lancing, the children are clearly at the heart of everything they do and we could not be happier with our decision to start there.

The staff at Little Lancing are extremely supportive of us and, most importantly, our child, who also has a long-term, rare condition and requires daily medication at certain times. Nothing is ever too much for them to do or help with, and their communication with us and each other is second to none. I have absolute trust and faith in how they care for my child, and I feel so happy knowing that they are a big part of her life and help shape what a lovely child they are and continue to grow to be.
