Review from Maria P (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Co-op Childcare Reading is a fantastic nursery and we are so pleased we decided to take our daughter there. The staff are extremely professional, friendly and look after the kids in the best possible way. Our daughter is happy to go to nursery every morning and is always interested in the activities they are doing. She has developed so much during her time there and it's very reassuring for us that she enjoys every single day.
The only downside is the limited outdoor space but I feel it's a good compromise to make compared to the overall care the kids get. In normal (pre-Covid) times the kids are taken to the park or nearby places though so they get to explore other places too.

I would definitely recommend Co-op Childcare to anyone looking for a friendly nursery in town!

Overall Experience
We are so pleased with Co-op Childcare Reading. Both our children love it, they are clearly well looked after and our kids love the staff.
Throughout Covid the nursery has done its best to keep things as ‘normal’ as possible for the kids and having nursery open since last June has been a wonderful piece of consistency in such a horrible year!

Thank you to each and every one of the team at Co-op Reading.

Overall Experience
My baby has been going to Co-op Childcare Reading since September 2020 and we have consistently been happy with her development, the activities proposed and how well she has been looked after.
She is always happy to go there and believe has improved massively in her skills.

All staff is very competent and lovely. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

Very pleased with the manager and her team. Nicely managed nursery close to the town. The timings are extended as well which is best for working parents. I want my second child to go to the same nursery. Thanks.

Overall Experience

Absolutely brilliant nursery in the centre of town, I've been very pleased with the dedication of the team and the great thought they put into supporting the kids with all sorts of activities and focus on learning. Our daughter loves the nursery and staff, and we know she is getting a lot of attention, carefully thought out investment into her learning as well as high quality food and plenty of outdoors time. I really love that they also encourage lots of discussion with the children, and also use this to lead the activities and focus in different areas they are interested in, for example theme days, learning about space etc. Strongly recommend this nursery, we've been really happy and feel our daughter is getting well prepared for school coming up.

Overall Experience

We joined the nursery in January 2021 and as parents, we are extremely happy with the services. Our little son settled in perfectly from the start. The staff are wonderful and very careful and caring. The updates that we get are very accurate. We always get suggestions on what we can do at home to help with our little ones’ progression! Really happy we chose them.

Both of my children attend The Co-op nursery and they absolutely love it. The girls are so wonderful and take such great care of them. The girls in Pre School and Caterpillars are absolutely brilliant. We are so lucky to have such wonderful ladies looking after our boys.

Overall Experience

This is an excellent nursery, they really look after the children well and have so many fun things for them to play with and do. They also often pivot the next week’s activities based on what the kids have shown an interest in. I also really appreciate how well the staff use the app to share updates and pictures on what the kids are getting up to. The staff are very caring and really love being with the kids. I would recommend.

Review from Becky A (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started in Co-op Childcare Reading in September 2020, just before she turned one. This was delayed slightly due to Covid etc. The nursery staff has been nothing but amazing since she started. There were a few tears on her first few days, but her key worker reassured us that she was happy once she was in her room, and helped her settle in quickly. She has since developed lovely bonds with her key workers, and all the staff within the nursery.
The nursery has really sensible measures in place to help keep everyone as safe as possible throughout the pandemic, which has allowed us as parents to feel confident in our decision to continue to send our daughter into nursery every day.

Since she started, we have seen how much she has grown as a small person in confidence, abilities, and communication, I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to any potential parent!

Overall Experience

I really recommend Co-op Childcare Reading to all the parents that need a nursery in Reading city centre. My son has gone there since September and he absolutely loves it, all the staff members are really keen on their jobs and they provide an amazing experience for the children. They are really attentive on the different children's needs and every time my son comes back home after a day in the nursery he shows me something new that he learnt through the day.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending Co-op Childcare Reading for a while now and I couldn't be any happier with the overall service.
The staff are the heart of the building, they are all so loving, caring and friendly! It really feels like a home from home when I drop my child off each day. The service provided is exceptional, my son has progressed so much in his development since starting here and that's down to the staff having such great knowledge and commitment to helping him in his learning and development!
They have great communications with parents using an app which keeps me updated throughout the day sending photos and updates constantly which is lovely to see while you're working.
In recent months the whole nursery team have been amazing in making the nursery a safe, fun and nurturing environment whilst dealing with a pandemic and I couldn't be more thankful!

I couldn't be happier with the nursery and would recommend anyone to send their child here!

It never ceases to amaze me how great the staff are at Co-op Reading nursery. Despite all the extra challenges that Covid has brought - they've managed to deliver an excellent environment for my daughter, who has loads of fun each day and is learning and developing really well.

Overall Experience
I had never left my son until I signed him up with the team here, I was very nervous about how he would cope with this type of surrounding. The Team have been amazing, he has settled beautifully and we get occasional photo updates and food updates.

My only reservation aside from nerves before was the outdoor space but my son loves what they have so it's not been a problem.

I would strongly recommend it!

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 10 months old. She is now 2 1/2 and runs happily into nursery every day. Since the outset, the staff have been friendly, kind and welcoming, completely child centric and very keen to work with me as a parent to help my daughter achieve her key milestones and more. I am extremely grateful to have found such a lovely place for my daughter who is thriving in all areas, encouraged and supported by the staff in Reading.

Overall Experience

My wife and I are extremely happy and satisfied with the service of the Cooperative Nursery staff. They have always gone over and beyond to make my child comfortable for the period he has been there, He wasn't the easiest child to have settle in and actually took quite a while. However, with the persistence of the staff, he very much enjoys his days in pre-school. We highly recommend The Co-operative Childcare.
