Co-op Childcare are big on happy children. They have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on taking care of each other and the world.
The nursery are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
Big on safety, ALL staff are paediatric first aid trained. They hold the Millie’s Mark award, something only 2% of all nurseries in the UK have managed to achieve!
Using 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children, they encourage them to be independent, make their own choices, express their feelings and make a difference in the world.
Co-op Childcare’s ParentZone app keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery days and includes photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten, and even toilet training progress!
The nursery has 5 rooms filled with resources that support children at every age and stage of their development. The friendly team, led by Manager Karen, would love to meet you and show you around so you can really understand what makes their nursery so special.

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 cannot recommend this nursery enough. My son has been going here since he was almost a year old and is now four, going to school this September. He's grown in confidence over the last few years. He's also developed his skills and personality. The team know my son well and have taken the time to get to know us as a family for a true holistic approach to his needs. As a single mum working full time it's such a blessing knowing he's in an environment where is is comfortable, cared for, happy and thriving. Everything is perfect from the meals provided to the facilities. But the main asset to this nursery is the people working there. The practitioners who have worked with him over the last few years along with the management team are all exemplary. I never worry about him being here, which is a huge thing for me as I am a natural worrier!! I feel like he's had the best possible start in life from attending this nursery. I will be so sad when he leaves to go to school.

The staff at the nursery are the best I've ever seen it feels as though they really care about the families of the children they have their . Often offering an extra arm of non judgemental support . The management in the nursery are above expectations they are supportive caring and considerate and always friendly . My children thrive there and the staff check in and make a real effort to know the children . I have always felt I can be open with the staff when I've had anything challenging come up and they make time to perk you up and remind you of positives I'll be sad when my daughter leaves but I know they have given her the best start and the children have had a wonderful , caring experience . I can't fault them and the key staff are always smiling

I have two children at the nursery. They are very different but the staff know them so well as individuals so get the best out of them. My older child has needed a lot of support with confidence and change but all the staff directly involved with her have been so patient and so caring. Always reassuring me too. Whilst my younger one has the loveliest bond with her key worker already and just shines happiness to be going there. They update each day on the app with food/nappies/sleep then a weekly round up of the activities. Whilst producing a personalised development plan each month. I couldn't recommend them more.

My son started in November 2025 and settled in straight away! He loves coming here and seems to really enjoy the food. It's so nice in the mornings to have a drop off where he is happy to go to the workers. His key worker is lovely and all of the staff in his room seem to love working with the children. The baby room has loads of toys and equipment and they frequently get to play in the garden. I would 100% recommend this nursery. The manager is also really friendly, I was worried about putting my son in nursery as I used childminders for my oldest daughter but would definitely say this is a good nursery and my son is happy here.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Dona and Olivia for being absolutely amazing since my son started nursery in September. They've made him feel so welcome and settled so quickly, which means the world to me. They're always so kind, caring and patient, and I really appreciate how they always take the time to reply to my messages and let me know how he's doing throughout the day. It's such a relief knowing he's in such loving hands - you can really tell how much they care about the children. Thank you both for everything you do!

Highly recommended!Staff are excellent and provide high quality care. When we started putting our son in Child Co-op at first we find it hard to leave him there. But the security and assurance of our child development now shows in the long run. He enjoys and learn alot from his teachers and was taken cared. Always happy to bring home the arts and paper writing he accomplishes everyday. Thank you so much for every hard work teachers, admin and all staff had put in together to continue caring for our little precious children. We are very grateful indeed. GOD bless everyone.

Our daughter has been going for two days a week since she was 14 months, now 3 years old. She settled quickly, loving all the staff throughout the different rooms as she moved up in age groups. She has developed greatly under their care, guidance and teaching in all areas. We particularly like the weekly updates on activities in the room and the monthly update on our daughter's progress.
We couldn't recommend this nursery enough and our youngest daughter will be starting shortly.

My son joined Coop Nursery at 10 months old and he is now 3 year. From the very beginning, the staff have been amazing-caring, attentive, and always going above and beyond to provide individualised care. They have created a nurturing environment where my child has felt safe, happy, and encouraged to grow. The activities are engaging, and I have seen so much progress in his development, from social skills to confidence and learning. Another great advantage of Coop Nursery is their long operating hours, which perfectly align with my long shifts at work.
I highly recommend Coop Nursery to any parent looking for a loving, supportive, and well-structured childcare setting. It has been a great experience, and I'm so grateful for the care they provide!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since November 2021. Through this time she has worked through several of the rooms and in each one she has been loved and nurtured by the staff. They have always genuinely seemed to enjoy having her there, have made a real effort to address and encourage her interests and have made me feel really comfortable. The nursery has been good for us as parents - for example when we have wanted to book additional sessions, extend sessions etc and they have given great support around aspects such as potty training. We're now in preschool and every member of that team makes such an effort with my child - through from immediately welcoming her when she arrives, helping to hone her skills and learning, encouraging her to improve and providing insightful handovers.
My daughter loves going to nursery and thoroughly enjoys her time there. She has made many friendships and I think she will really miss the staff when she moves on in September.

My daughter has been going here since 2021, as it was our first we were nervous about leaving her. That's when we met one staff member in particular. She is an amazing person, who you can see loves her job. She calmed us and we could instantly see the bond she made with our daughter. This goes for all the staff here, including management in office. They know you, they know your child and you're welcomed every time you step in the building. Everyone is approachable with concerns and any we've ever had, they have been followed up and dealt with immediately. It's a lovely place, with huge rooms for the children, large garden/playground, activities and learning everyday. My daughter loves going here, she latched onto her room leaders and I feel like they love her like their own. From previous staff member mentioned, to another staff member in particular and now another staff member in particular. My daughters progression has come leaps and bounds, it's because of everyone here and their obvious passion for the job.
I've recommend this nursery to anyone I can and will continue to do so

My son loves coming into nursery, exploring and seeing his friends and staff- I have to ask him to say goodbye because he is so comfortable and gets stuck straight in! They give him perfect opportunities to learn and grow, as well as express himself. The staff give you lovely briefs at the end of the day, and you can check in via the app to put you at ease. They cater well to needs/allergies.
I could write a long list of staff who have gone above and beyond to make sure he always has a great day and I am well informed at the end of it, especially 2 room leaders.

Our daughter is going to Co-op childcare in Southampton for the last 2 years. We cannot be more grateful for the staff to make our daughter's days filled with fun, love and also education. All the practitioners are showing love and care on the best way and all of them are extremely professional. Very good to see that they keep on with their own education so they can care for the children of different ages. Co-op childcare was nothing but the best choice we could've made. Perfect place for the little ones to learn and make friends.
We'll be sad in September when we'll say our goodbyes as we are off to school.
