Co-op Childcare Sussex

They talk with so much enthusiasm about the activities they get up to, the games they playtime and the songs they sing. They speak fondly about the friends they’ve made and their keyworkers too. All the team at the childcare centre are so welcoming and welcoming, whenever they’ve had a wobble, they’ve been right by their side and putting a smile back on their face in no time.
My oldest is off to school in September and will miss the pre-school room, her educators and friends. The pre-school room has given her a exceptional start for school with their phonics lessons and transition to school program.
Overall we are so cheerful with the childcare centre and couldn’t fault them. I have two kids at the childcare centre – my oldest has been going for nearly 3 years now, my youngest a year and they both adore the time they spend there.

We’ve now got our second kid at the childcare centre, who’s much more of a quiet soul than his very outgoing older sibling. We’re very cheerful to see that the needs of very different kids are met, and their interests and curiosity fostered. The childcare centre provides a really attentive and stimulating setting for kids to grow up in.

The pandemic has been a tough time for all of us, but the Childcare centre 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 consistently felt that our eldest was being well cared for, and was able to forge bonds with other kids, and with his key team members.

It’s now been the first few weeks of our one-year-old starting at childcare centre, 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 childcare centre team 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! Our eldest son has been at the Co-op Childcare centre and now Pre-school for the past 3 years, and he has loved his time there.

The team 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 adore that they don’t have any screens so there’s no leaving kids watching cartoons, every activity is engaging and developmentally appropriate. I also adore that they try to limit plastic toys and follow a Montessori approach. The setting of the childcare centre is incredible with a lovely foyer for parents to sit in and an incredible garden. I’ve consistently felt heard and supported and that my kid’s best interest has consistently been valued. My kid has made incredible memories for a lifetime here and I can’t fault them in the slightest! I’ve had some bad experiences with nurseries in the past for my older kid, however, our Co-op childcare centre has been absolutely remarkable in every sense of the word.

The setting feels secure and excellent updates with the room team members. My son has consistently been cheerful to go to childcare centre and can’t wait to hear about his next adventures! Would suggest this childcare centre to friends and family, have consistently felt very welcomed by the team.

She is enjoying her time there and we adore to see her develop, explore and learn new things. The team and management team are excellent 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. Our daughter has been attending the Co-op Childcare Day Childcare centre at Falmer since she was 14-months-old.

The space is welcoming and they are consistently undertaking different activities. We couldn’t suggest it more highly. Outstanding childcare centre, excellent updates with parents, very great on developmental reviews, our daughter eats very balanced food whilst at childcare centre and they are consistently cheerful to resolve any issue that arises.

The setting is engaging, inviting and I sense that it supports my kids’s age-appropriate development (14-months and 3.5-years). The outside areas are the best I have seen at any childcare centre. I consistently sense secure 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 kids. The range of activities on offer is incredible – enjoyable, creative and educational. I have recommended this childcare centre to a number of friends already. Oh, and the catering is excellent also. Outstanding childcare centre both for facilities and team.

His key person is consistently available to talk and works together with us, as parents, to solve any issues. For example, when it was noticed that my son became overwhelmed by busy periods in the day, strategies were put in place that could be followed at childcare centre and at home creating a consistent approach, helping him to better cope in overwhelming situations.
I sense comfortable leaving my kid in their care and know that his individual needs are supported. They have healthy, nutritious meals with menus changing regularly for variety.
The childcare centre regularly hosts sessions for parents to attend on subjects relating to early years, such as speech and language development, and encourage parent involvement. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to prospective families. My son is consistently cheerful going into childcare centre and has made a real connection with the team there.

They pay close attention to all the types of individual needs of the kids 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 discovering-through-playtime activities as well as free playtime time, and they even start reading and writing. They provide written feedback frequently and verbal feedback daily. The office and room team are all highly expert, competent and approachable in my journey. 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 childcare centre, also in terms of looking after the team. I find this to be an outstanding childcare centre which has exceeded my expectations many times.
