Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Worthing
Which postcodes cover nurseries in Worthing?
Worthing addresses are principally spread across BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14. These cover central Worthing and residential areas extending west towards Goring and north through Durrington, Salvington and Broadwater.
Are Goring and Durrington part of Worthing?
Yes. Goring and Durrington are both official Worthing borough wards, alongside areas such as Broadwater, Heene, Northbrook, Offington, Salvington and Tarring. This makes them useful local areas for parents comparing childcare within different parts of Worthing.
Why are Worthing and Adur council services often shown together?
Worthing Borough Council and Adur District Council are separate councils, although many of their services are jointly administered as Adur & Worthing Councils. Nursery funding is different again: funded early education is handled at county level by West Sussex County Council.
How many funded childcare hours can a younger child get in Worthing?
Eligible working families can receive up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months old. The entitlement continues while the family remains eligible and regularly reconfirms its childcare code. All children also become eligible for the universal 15 hours from the term after their third birthday.
Can funded nursery hours cover a full day?
They can be used across longer sessions where the provider offers them, but West Sussex limits funded entitlement to a maximum of 10 funded hours in one day, and funded hours cannot be used before 6am or after 8pm. Families can also split their entitlement between different eligible providers where this suits their childcare arrangements.
Where can Worthing parents get help finding childcare?
Worthing has local Family Hubs that can help parents find childcare and understand Early Years Funded Entitlement. These include Worthing Central Family Hub at Worthing Library and Worthing West Family Hub in Durrington, which also provide support around parenting, early child development and local family services.
What support is available if my child has SEND?
Worthing families are covered by the West Sussex SEND Local Offer, with information about childcare and support for children and young people aged 0–25. Early-years settings can also seek additional county support and funding where a child's needs require provision beyond their ordinarily available support.
What should I look for when comparing Ofsted results for Worthing nurseries?
Check when the inspection took place, because the reporting system changed on 10 November 2025. Older reports may show one overall judgement such as Good or Outstanding, while newer inspections grade separate areas including inclusion, curriculum and teaching, achievement, children's welfare and leadership. Safeguarding is reported separately as met or not met.
