What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Government-funded childcare for eligible children from 9 months of age; 30 hours of funded childcare from the term after your child turns 9 months.
Worth knowing. Funded hours are available during term time and can be used across a pattern of sessions, subject to availability. While the funding covers the cost of early education, additional charges may apply for hot meals or hours taken beyond the funded entitlement.
What childcare usually costs in West Sussex
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in West Sussex from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
The leadership team and staff put children's emotional well-being at the heart of everything they do. They establish nurturing and caring relationships with children and their families and all children demonstrate they feel valued as unique individuals. Babies and young children benefit from warm interactions and separate from their parents and carers without hesitation. They are extremely motivated and eager to engage in the wide range of stimulating learning experiences staff provide. For example, children select their favourite books and cuddle up with staff to read stories. They show high levels of perseverance as they look for props and dressing-up costumes, and retell the story in their own words. Staff know children exceptionally well. They are highly skilled and know when to stand back or offer children support.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. They learn to share and respect other children at a very young age. For instance, toddlers sing songs to babies. They are extremely kind to their younger peers, play games, such as peekaboo, with them and pass them resources of interest. Staff are excellent role models and use positive praise and reinforcement to help children manage their emotions and learn acceptable behaviour.
Staff have high expectations for every child. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language receive extensive additional support and encouragement to enhance their learning experiences. All children make rapid progress in their learning.

- What it costs

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
