Co-op Childcare Islington

We have been delighted with the care our son has received at this nursery, from when he first joined at 9 months old and ongoing now he is nearly 2 years old. Particular strengths are their excellent communication and responsiveness to feedback, as well as the very visible and present management team and diverse staff and peer population. He has bonded well with his peers and those staff that he knows there, and is happy and comfortable in the environment there. They support his learning in an age-appropriate way and facilitate time outdoors as the weather allows. We are grateful that while we are at work he is in an environment he enjoys and feels happy, confident and safe within.

Myself and my daughter have a wonderful experience with the nursery all the staff seem genuinely happy to be there. My daughter is always happy to go in to nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery, everyone is friendly and they talk to me about my daughter's progress. Since starting she has greatly increased her confidence and her vocabulary and her fine motor skills. If you have any questions they answer it and I love that they can play outside. The food is great and they have many staff in the room.

We have had a wonderful experience at the Co-operative nursery. The staff have been amazing and our son has thrived. We have been pleased with how much-individualized attention they seem to get and how well each staff member knows our son. I find it easy to work with the staff to help my son reach each new stage of development and help him through more difficult behaviours.

We absolutely love the staff at the Co-operative nursery. They were amazing with our son and really encouraged his development. The facilities are great for babies and young children and the outdoor space is well designed (not to mention rather large by London standards!).

The nursery team seems to be working hard together to create a friendly, safe and attractive environment for kids. The facility went through renovation last year, so looks superb. The nursery has been also taken over by the active management team, which has positive consequences (as seen from parent's perspective).

Children have lots of toys and educational items and large outdoor space, which is even partially covered, therefore used all year around. In some instances, however, more support to parents would be beneficial (such as potty training, speech, etc.) My little one is very happy here and has lots of friends.

Great care (amazing carers) and environment let down by poor management and administration (double-charging, etc). Some occasional concerns with some of the rough-play with the older boys getting out of hand.

I find the staff to be friendly, warm and engaging. They build strong relationships with my children and they feel like extended family. I trust them with the care of my children and feel safe knowing they are receiving superb attention.

I am very happy with my son's placement and the staff are lovely too. They make you feel very welcome. Overall, an excellent place for all children.

The nursery has improved significantly with new management and addition of administrative staff. My daughter has been attending for almost two years and has really thrived since moving to the 2+ room.

She is learning a lot of new words, they do a great job of keeping the children engaged, and she genuinely enjoys being there. She also had a great time in the toddler room, but the business of the 2/3-year-old room is really stimulating for her.

My child seems to be very happy to go to the nursery every day, which means he has a good time there! They do a variety of activities every day and they are helped develop their skills, such as speech and walking.

The staff are very nice. They know every single child. My son really enjoys going to the nursery. Good management. Good communication

My child loves going to nursery. He is always eager to get in the door and play with all of his friends. I know that he is always in good hands. He is fed well, is learning, and is happy with his caregivers.

My child enjoyed time spent at the nursery. She was always happy and enjoyed going back each week. The Staff were friendly and attentive. They offered a lot of support in the settling in process. I would recommend the nursery to other parents.

Place looks good. Seems to provide a good assortment of activities to keep the kids entertained. The food preparation and catering for special requirements is really good.

Open day visit - our town was very thorough with all key stages explained. I was especially impressed with how the childrens learning and development are recorded. Whilst on the visit, children were well engaged with their respective key workers and everything seemed to be very well organised. Very impressive.

I am a mother of a 2 year and 11 month old daughter. My daughter has attended the nursery for 2 years and is extremely happy here as so am I with the level of service provided. Nursery teachers, assistants and management have formed not just a professional relationship but a loving, caring and friendly relationship through the years. All staff go above and beyond to ensure the welfare of my daughter and resolve any concerns l have ever had, whether it be external or internal. All team members work exceptionally hard and always give fair, honest, genuine and truthful feedback and encouragement on a daily basis. for this I am thankful and grateful.

My daughter has been going a while now to the nursery and I have seen a lot of changes. I see she is growing in learning and development since she started over a year now. The staff has been really helpful with my request regarding her health and food. The manager has been awesome with managing the nursery and attending to all my questions and answers. Managers and all the staff are caring, loving and supportive. I am really happy my daughter came here and really pleased about new changes in January and the rest of the year. Keep up the great work.
