Located close to the Old Street Tube station, Co-op Childcare Islington has bright, spacious rooms for each of their age groups. They bring the outdoors inside as they've created a sensory garden area, a beach and an indoor Gruffalo nature walk.
The nursery goes above and beyond for safety which is why ALL its staff are paediatric first-aid trained. They keep parents informed on what their child has been up to all day including observations, assessments, meals, (and even toilet training progress!) using an app called ParentZone.
The team know that little things can make a big difference, so they make sure to give children lots of hands-on experiences through activities such as growing food (and eating it!), and doing their bit for the environment. They will also make regular visits to a local care home and be involved with a global eco-schools programme, making them aware of their environment and local community.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

I could not fault this nursery or the staff if I wanted to - even at busy times when the staff are so busy they still have a smile and stop what their doing to update you on your child's day, the managers are always helping and stepping in when an extra pair of hands are needed. The chef is always happy and cooks such lovely meals and the children seem to love it it's really sweet to see them all sitting eating together. Everyone here makes me feel like my son is cared for, we love and appreciate everyone here and are proud to be apart of this amazing family thank you to you all
It is such a pleasure to read your comments, and yes are always happy to welcome the children and families into the setting. We aim to encourage development and learning in a home away from home setting and we are delighted you have observed and grasped onto our ethos.

As a single, full-time working parent, finding a nursery that not only cares for your child but genuinely supports you as well means everything. They have made my life so much easier, and I couldn't ask for more.
Since starting here, my son's communication skills have come on so much. His confidence has grown, his social skills have developed beautifully, and he now has so many little friends. Most importantly, he genuinely loves coming to nursery, which says it all.
Thank you for everything you do for me and my son. It does not go unappreciated.
Thank you so much, for your beautiful comments. Jemma and I are passionate about the role we play and always will ensure our children's care, learning and development is and remains paramount. We endeavour to make and maintain positive relationships with families and offer as much support as is possible.
All staff are welcoming and lovely. My child loves it there. Honestly gonna be so sad when in a few years he has to go to regular school. They are so patience with him not saying many words. I can genuinely feel the care for him from everyone there and the updates are 100% needed and something I...

I can genuinely feel the care for him from everyone there and the updates are 100% needed and something I look forward to.
Thank you so much for your comments - We try not to think about our children moving on, as most of us would be crying so often, instead we focus on ensuring they get the best care, learning and development opportunities whilst having the most fun, through their interest, with their peers and other role models.

I was very hesitant when my child first started, but they supported us from day one. Even with food, if my child asks for more, they happily give it. They keep the children engaged with a variety of activities, all thoughtfully tailored to support each child's development.
We had some concerns about our child, and they worked closely with us to address them. Now my child goes in happily and says "bye bye!"
There are CCTV cameras throughout, which gives great peace of mind as everything is secure and traceable if needed. They also use an excellent app that's regularly updated with details about meals, sleep, nappy changes, plus photos and activity updates twice a week.
They also offer discounts during specific months, which they announce in advance - giving parents the opportunity to book extra days at a reduced price.
Thank you so much for your review! We enjoy speaking to you and also supporting you with anything!!

The food served is nutritional and varies week to week on a rotation which is good to enhance children's palates and discourage fussy eating

Thank you so much for your kind words, you are always smiling and your son comes in happy to find his friends and will regularly include me in conversations with them and other key people at the setting.
An outstanding nursery that prioritises both fun and holistic development. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since joining. We love the variety of activities and the regular updates we receive via the app. It's clear the staff are passionate about the Early Years curriculum and they go...
Thanks for making the settling period so easy! Your all great!
We are so delighted that you are already able to observe your child's development from early on. We do look at children as individuals and through play we support their development and learning. Thank you for your kind words.
Nursery's amazing, I have very clingy twins that have been there for a short time. All of the staff make sure they feel at ease once I've left, which makes me feel less guilty. They always end the day with big smiles on their faces and tell me what a great day they've had!

Thank you for taking time to give such lovely comments about the setting. It is a pleasure having them both here and keeping us on our toes whilst they explore their environment and make friends.

Her eating has improved incredibly, she will eat anything you put infront of her. Awareness is 100x better when talking to her she gives alot more eye contact now.

Thank you for everything you do not only for grace but for all those lovely kiddos in there. John

Thank you so much for your review. Having them here and watching them learn and develop is amazing!
Amazing nursery with great staff. Everyone was so helpful and kind and really bonded with our two year old twins. We were only there for a month but the kids really loved it. I can't recommend them more from our short but sweet experience.

Thank you so much for your review, we are so happy you were able to experience what we have to offer, and create a relationship with the staff, even though you were here for just a month, we miss you all already.

My daughter has been here since she was 7 months old. She's now 14 months and the best review she could possibly give is her excitement and hand waving when she meets the nursery staff every morning. I know she's safe and happy here.
They're also great at updating the app so I always know what her day was like. There's lots of activities every day which she seems to enjoy, and the staff share photos on the app as well. Food is varied and she has been supported to learn how to eat independently.
Overall, I know she's safe and happy here, and that's what matters to me.
Thank you so much for your review, we have also observed her grow and develop with some much confidence. She is always smiling whilst exploring, socializes comfortably with the team and her peers and is know doing the queens wave when coming in and leaving.
My daughter has been coming here for over 3 years now, amazing staff, so kind, my daughter loves everyone. Her key worker has given me advice on things I needed guidance with at home (getting off dummy, staying in own bed etc) and I am so grateful. Fantastic support, thank you!

We love this nursery! It's so clear that our children are loved by the people here and they love them in return. The nursery workers really get our children and do activities to encourage skills and I can see the progress at home. It feels like a really happy place.
