Little Lancing Day Nursery & Forest School opened in September 2020. Located just north of the A27, opposite Shoreham Airport, it offers high-quality daycare for children aged from 2months to 5 years in a fresh, modern and calm environment.

The nursery children enjoy a large outdoor garden space with room to run and play and a separate baby garden. It offers a range of care options and is open from 7 am to 7 pm, currently with some adjustments, post lockdown. Some EY funded places are available. It has accessible safe parking and easy access from the A27.

Little Lancing is graduate-led by experienced Nursery Manager, Rachel Martini. The nursery community celebrates together, eats freshly prepared 'home-cooked’ meals together, plays together and learns together. Every member of the Little Lancing family is encouraged to reach their potential through play and exploration, with plenty of fresh air and a balance of child-initiated play and adult-led teachable moments.

During the Coronavirus lockdown, Little Lancing remained open for the children of parents with Key Worker or other essential industry jobs. It also provided temporary childcare for other local families, whose nurseries had closed entirely. Now fully re-opened, fees are being kept at the September 2020 level until this is reviewed for 2021.

Lockdown also delayed the Forest School launch and this is now starting to be put in place. The aim is to offer outdoor learning sessions with some of the Lancing College Farm animals as neighbours! In normal times, every child at Little Lancing has access to the beautiful grounds of the Lancing College estate including the woodland walks, the equestrian centre, visiting College farm and the Chapel. These will be reinstated as soon as safe and practical to do so.
The reputation of Little Lancing is growing fast; parents and carers are encouraged to apply early for places.
