Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would say this is the best nursery my child has ever attended and would 100% recommend to anyone. They have very caring and loving staff who will always help as much as they can in any situation. I, as a parent, go to work each day knowing my child is happy and is always learning new things. Furthermore,
my child has been at this nursery for almost a year now. Before he started he was shy, didn't talk much and found it hard to socialise. Now there isn't a day where he doesn't enjoy himself and he's smiling.

Management are very helpful. Very good for working parents. My child enjoys it, and my older daughter enjoys summer school there too. I would like to see a better garden play area. But overall, I’m satisfied. Thank you.

My son attends the holiday club at this nursery after leaving to go to school. He is always really excited to attend and comes home chatting about all the lovely things he has done that day. The holiday club is really convenient and affordable. It’s great to know he’s in good hands when we’re working.

The staff have always been really helpful and friendly and incredibly supportive of my son. I can tell he loves it by how attached he is to particular members of staff often running to them excitedly and giving them cuddles at drop off. We've had a fantastic experience for over a year now and will be
very sad when he eventually leaves to go to school.

My son has been at the nursery for nearly two years now and I have always felt satisfied that he is well cared for there. I particularly enjoy the app for feedback on activities, nappies and food. The staff are friendly and welcoming and know my son well. He enjoys going to nursery and I have never
had any concerns. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so pleased to have chosen this nursery for our daughter originally back in 2017. Still attending the nursery now, we have not had any problems. The staff have always been very professional, helpful and accommodating to us. They are very supportive of any concerns we may have with our child's
development throughout our time at the nursery up to present day. We can honestly say our daughter has learnt so much from attending this nursery and enjoys her time here. It was definitely an added bonus that the fee's include everything, food, nappies, sun cream etc. Hassle free for parents. The menu choices are brilliant and help with ensuring our child has a varied diet with lots of delicious options. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My son adores going to this nursery. He develops every day on many fields and created really strong bonds with adults and children. He usually cries when I pick him up because he doesn't want to leave, which for me is a great sign that he has an awesome time there.

Review from Sam C (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our now 6 year old son attended this nursery from the age of 9 months through to preschool before he left (with a lovely graduation!) to start reception. Our son had been very happy here during this time as were we so much that it was on natural our second child joined once I was ready to go back to
work.


The keyworkers are great with the children and they build a good relationship with both the children and parents and keep us updated in the loop with how our child is progressing.


The nursery has a very nice welcome feel to it. It is a clean, safe and fun environment. The food menu is fantastic. There are other nurseries out there which may be on the lower price scale but in our opinion, you certainly get what you pay for with this nursery, what else is more important especially when you are leaving them in charge with the most precious thing to you?

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has only been enrolled with the nursery for a few months now and although we still struggle to have an easy drop-off, I'm always advised he's had a really fun-packed joyful day where he has loved every minute off it. His key worker is amazing as well as the other staff in his room. They have
helped him settle in and I can tell he enjoys to be there. Since starting I've seen such a development in him and it's amazing to be able to see the progress from all the time and effort the staff make with each individual child. I know I can drop my son off and he is going to be very well looked after and well fed. I'm pretty sure he gets better nutritional meals at nursery than he does at home. They have supported me with taking his pacifier away and made the process easy and I know they will continue to support me with making the drop off easier as he has slight anxiety so he gets upset when I drop him off but they are quick to calm him and get him happy again.

I would definitely recommend the nursery to friends in the proximity of this location as I find the team friendly and welcoming. In almost 2.5 years, there were only a few occasions of misunderstanding (unclear illness policy, nobody came to welcome our child in the morning) but there is room to discuss
this professionally with the management team. Generally, our son is very happy when we come to pick him up at the end of the day, which is for us a good sign that he is in good caring hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff are caring, understanding and supportive. Everyone knows my son's name, even if he is not in their room. They really care about his development and work with us to support this.
My child's welfare at the top of their agenda. The staff go above and beyond to ensure he had the best care. You
can drop off from 7 am and they provide breakfast, this makes mornings so much easier! I am incredibly happy we chose the Co-op nursery. Our son is our first child, it can be a stressful time deciding on the best nursery, but the team make it really easy. They spend lots of time helping them settle in. My son absolutely loves going. We left him from 13mths and he now 2yrs. Since attending he has developed much quicker then if he hadn't been there and he gets to do lots of activities painting, water play, playdoh. They also regularly get to go out in the garden. I can not recommend the nursery enough!!

My son is in the nursery for 8 months and has developed really well. He adapted very well as well.
Any issues are heard by the nursery team.
They are really welcoming and caring.
My son loves it. Never cried to stay in the nursery.
Every day we can see/be told about nappy change, sleep times and
mealtimes.
If an incident happens like a fall the parents are informed about it.

Both our boys have thrived since attending The Co-operative nursery. They love attending and as parents, we are fully confident that the boys are looked after and well cared for while we are at work. Staff are a pleasure to deal with and both the boys have an excellent rapport with their key workers
and staff.
I would recommend The Co-operative nursery 100% we have not regretted our boys attending and our eldest is in preschool and our 1-year-old is in ladybirds room.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Co-op Childcare Southampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.827 for Co-op Childcare Southampton is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.827
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Co-op Childcare Southampton is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
