Co-op Childcare Islington

My son has been coming here since ten months and he is now four years old, getting ready to leave for school. The nursery has been amazing to all his needs and have done their absolute best to make sure he progresses. You feel the love from the staff when handing over your child and it just makes me feel a lot better leaving him. Without this nursery and this team I don’t think my son will be where he is now. He is so happy about going to nursery he loves it there and he loves all the staff all over the building. They have also put up with my many changes of his diet and accommodated to every email I have sent and every little moan or query I have ever had.

I couldn't be happier with Co-op Childcare Islington nursery. My son has been attending for almost a year and absolutely adores it. The staff are all so wonderful, friendly, approachable and full of energy. My little boy frequently talks about his teachers and it is a testament to how well they treat him and look after him every day. I am also constantly impressed by the range of activities they do and how keen they are for the children to participate in national moments such as World Book Day, Red Nose Day and Pancake Day. The level of communication I have with the nursery is also brilliant and I feel fully informed about my son's days and his progress. Finally, I must applaud them for how well they have dealt with Covid-19, thanks to their efforts the nursery has only been impacted on a number of occasions and I have felt completely safe sending my son in since the pandemic started. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was nine months old, he’s now two. He’s so happy to go in every day and adores the staff. Special shout out to three members of staff who make him feel so loved and special. My favourite part of this nursery is when he surprises me with new words and skills that he didn’t learn at home. Colours, painting numbers and certain vocabulary he started learning before I even thought he was ready. Such a wonderful group of people who I’m very happy to trust with the care of my son.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was one years old and has recently turned four. Both me and my daughter are happy with the service provided, the staff are great with both kids and parents. My daughter loves going there and always has good, fun stories to tell when she gets home. I love how the staff know all the children’s names, they’re also very friendly. I like that the nursery is organised and runs very smoothly. I also love how it is decorated, each room is colourful and looks exciting. Top marks for the nursery and I’d recommend it to other parents.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was one until three. We have just left because we are moving further away. We loved this nursery. The staff were so friendly, very attentive to parents and we are really sad to leave. They have good healthy meals, staff were consistent and knew parents and children well, my daughter really enjoyed going there. The app was really helpful as well. We are really sad to leave and would recommend it to anyone.

We really love this nursery, our son started in the preschool without having previously been in any other nursery setting. We were a little anxious as to how he would adapt in this new environment but we were so impressed with how all the staff made him and us feel so welcome and safe. The preschool classroom is well laid out, well equipped with good learning materials and has a good size garden. The staff have been so fantastic, always very cheerful and approachable. The days are well structured and it is clear the staff put a lot of time and energy into organising activities and are attentive to each child. The parent app is a great way to stay connected with how your child is doing each day as the staff update it daily with progress reports and photos. Since starting, our son has greatly developed in many areas, especially in his language and social skills and we feel this is testament to the supportive and safe environment that the staff have created at the nursery.

Thank you everyone!

We have been very happy with the care our son has received at this nursery, he first joined at 7 months old and ongoing now he is now 18 months. We did have a break during the national lockdown, but the nursery keeps on providing, via email, ideas on how to keep on working on his development. They really listen to feedback and the staff are very caring. My son loves going to nursery, he is always happy and I can really see he misses going there if he has to stay home during the week. We are really happy with the nursery and we have also recommended it to our friends.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone who asked me and I know if I was to put her back there they would welcome her with open arms.

The staff are amazing. My eldest daughter went to this nursery and loved it here. I knew I would be sending my youngest there without question. The staff are very personable and my daughter runs into to nursery with excitement. It's clean and the food served to the children is varied. The staff try and make the day for the children very varied and encourage then to learn.

As a parent I appreciate the difficult decision it takes to trust a childcare provider with your child, however, my daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year and has been cared for consistently well. All the staff are friendly and helpful and I particularly like the open door policy which reassures me as a parent that I can call unannounced to see my child in this setting if I wish to, I am currently on maternity leave but will be more than comfortable to leave my new baby also in this nursery, I highly recommend this nursery.

My son really enjoys his time at the nursery, when arriving he happily goes to his key person who is amazing. I love the fact I can check my phone via parent zone and see how much he has eaten and if he has had an afternoon nap. Staff and the management team are always very helpful and the nursery has a family-friendly feel.

Wonderful nursery - my daughter is so happy there since starting in March. The staff are very warm and attentive and do a fantastic job. I have already recommended the nursery to two friends (who now send their kids there too), and would happily recommend it to anyone.

My daughter enjoys the nursey. The staff are helpful and friendly. Good communication throughout the day. Healthy meals. Plenty of fun games sing-alongs during the day. I'm very happy that I found this nursey as it has a good outstanding excellence of care that they provide.

The nursery has a great mix of ethnic groups which I celebrate. The staff range from all ages which give a vast amount of experience and personal contributions to the children. The staff are caring and professional. The nursery teaches the children to be independent. My son is now fully potty trained with the support of the nursery. My son comes home singing different songs he has learnt. They allow the children time to free play which is good as children of this age just want to play!

This nursery is definitely 10/10 for me and my son.

Our daughter started in the Caterpillar room just after she turned 1. Overall we were very happy with this nursery and felt really comfortable leaving her there each day. The space itself is lovely: spacious, freshly done and loads of toys and activities for the children to explore. There is also a pretty big outdoor space with plants and other activities. The staff are all very sweet and our daughter quickly made friends with them!

Fantastic nursery! My son recently joined the nursery and the settling in period was very smooth. I have just attended the parents meeting this week and it is amazing how quickly they have identified his strengths and areas of improvement. There is already a robust plan in place and partnership with me to enhance is development. All staff are welcoming, extremely warm and very professional, they give you detailed feedback at the end of each day. We are VERY happy, thank you!

My child does like the school after all but there is no system there and they can not seem to manage it properly.

My son has been attending since September 2018 and he loves it, staff are very patient and caring as he was hard to settle but thanks to them he’s having a great time learning.
