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
Children arrive happy and excited to begin their day. They separate from their parents with ease as friendly practitioners welcome them inside. Children feel safe and secure. They build sensitive relationships with practitioners, who know them well. Children self-register their attendance with confidence. They find their names and place them on the board. Children begin to develop good independence skills.
Leaders have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children talk about rules at carpet time each day. For example, they discuss the importance of 'kind hands'.
Practitioners support children to understand how to share with their friends. They teach children to use sand timers to help them take turns fairly. Children use these independently during play. They develop a good understanding of what is expected of them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's questioning techniques to provide greater challenge to children and extend their learning further.

- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £11.60 a session still the rate? 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.
