Review from Shelley C (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Co-operative Nursery Reading is excellent from the moment I drop my child off, to the time I pick him up. The parent zone updates throughout the day which is a great addition this year. For parents to keep in contact. Makes my day at work easier to know how my child is doing the updates are fantastic and is a credit to those staff in the nursery particularly butterflies who make the time to do this for the parents. Both my children have attended the nursery and I can honestly say it is an amazing place. My son comes home every day telling me everything he has done and has developed so well.

Overall Experience

It's a good place to go as this is my second child that has gone through this pre-nursery school. The only real issue that I have ever had is I don't agree with the financial agreement, otherwise, not bad at all.

The staff and management of the nursery are extremely compassionate, especially the lady who is my son’s keyworker. They are always helpful and friendly and willing to help with all the struggles that I have had personally, as well as with my son.

We are very satisfied with our nursery for our daughter as she really enjoys going in. The staff are extremely nice and they take a very good care of the children. My only suggestion would be about de food menu, as they could offer a bigger variety, and for snack time too.

The best nursery in Reading!

My son is attending the preschool group. What a fantastic nursery this is. All staff members are very friendly and caring. I notice how great and supportive they are for my son and other children which creates a wonderful atmosphere for them develop and grow. They make learning fun and interesting that my son loves going there. I can't thank the staff enough for being part of the development of my son.

Review from Teasha K (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Co-operative Childcare Reading Nursery has been very accommodating to take in my son when there was an emergency un-planned closure of his previous nursery. Management has been very prompt in ensuring a place and also helped with settle-in sessions. Generally, the room staff were very caring towards my son and he quite easily got adjusted. As compared to other nurseries, The Co-operative Childcare Reading Nursery offer more frequent meals and snacks to the kids which is really assuring to the parents. I really liked the usage of Parent Zone app for reporting the kid's progress and other details to the parents. It's always good to login to the app to see your kids pics while they are doing the activities in the nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter is so happy at this nursery. The staff are really caring and the activities they organise are always fun and varied. The food is very nutritious and the children are given regular meals and snacks throughout the day. There is a lovely garden where the children can play all year round. I cannnot recommend this nursery highly enough.

This has been a fabulous nursery for my 2 children and a nurturing, stimulating environment. There is always something interesting going on when I drop off or pick up! All the staff are friendly and caring and my children settled quickly and were happy to be there. Thank you for providing such great care over the years.

Review from Ariana P (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very pleased with the work of this preschool. On my first visit there, my daughter and I received a warm welcome from the preschool room manager, the nursery manager who was easy going and flexible and answered my concerns in an understanding way. The different rooms/spaces were shown with an explanation of some activities and projects. Always updated about our daughter's day with transparent communication. The location is perfect to commute to London, just a few minutes to the train station. Positive feedback from our daughter. She is excited to go to preschool and settled well in the nursery and we cannot thank the preschool leader and assistants/teachers enough for their efforts and dedication. We can be at work and be sure that she is well and safe. I looked after my daughter full time until she started nursery and we are very attentive to our child's development and we can tell she has been learning new things each day.

Review from Zigi C (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I first walked into The Co-operative Childcare Reading Nursery 5 months pregnant and instantly knew this was the nursery for my unborn son.
My little boy has been a full time student since August and he absolutely loves it! I also love the team I couldn’t wish for better people to care for my son whilst I have to be at work.
Settling him into nursery life was tough but the team persevered and made him comfortable in no time at all.

It’s a truly lovely nursery with a happy friendly atmosphere and has helped advance my son beyond his age. Thank you!

Review from Ginie T (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my boys are attending the nursery. I originally picked the nursery for its location as well as a good feeling when I came to visit and I have to say, I am not disappointed. The opening hours are very helpful and the staff always very pleasant. The building feels safe, clean and well looked after. The new garden outside is great and their indoor garden is fab for rainy days. Both my boys really enjoy themselves and despite a few tears every now at drop off and I know they are very happy there. The girls and boy are doing a fab job to look after them, educating them with various activities throughout the day and the structure of each day will help them once they start school I'm sure. So, thank you, reading nursery!

Review from Andrew E (Father of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery full time since 2015, aged one, and we cannot fault the nursery in any way. The staff are all excellent; they really care and take the time to form real bonds with the children. Our daughter has developed into an independent, confident, caring, outgoing, worldly-wise child and this is in no small part due to the stimulating environment and individual care the nursery staff provide. S looks forward to every new day at nursery (and often doesn't want to leave, even after an eleven hour day!); she knows all the staff well and has made some close friends amongst her peers. We would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone.

Review from Katie M (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm very pleased with the care my child receives from the setting. My child has a good bond with his key worker and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My child always seems very happy when I collect him. My partner enjoys reading his daily diary that comes home after every session. I enjoy seeing the different activities he gets up to on the nursery facebook page. The hours the nursery is open perfectly suit my working hours as does the location. We would highly recommend the nursery to our friends and family.

Overall Experience

I have always been very happy with the care my son receives at the Co-op. The team of girls are all very friendly, efficient, warm and also firm when needed - It's a great place for my son to go (he only attends once a week) but it gives him lots of skills. Thank you to all the team who look after him.

Review from E K (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are very happy with the care and attention our little one gets at The Co-operative Nursery. He is very happy to come to the nursery every day and is as happy as can be when we pick him up, which is the most important thing for us.
The nursery provides a lot of learning opportunities and teaches him more than just skills, i.e. behaviour and people skills as well.
The nursery is being refurbished and they are managing the process really very well. There was no disturbance at all.

Overall really very happy and I have already recommended to a number of people.
