Co-op Childcare Southampton

Lovely nursery lovely staff. My children have loved coming here. I chose this nursery on recommendation and have recommended to many friends who have also chosen the nursery.

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.

Unfortunately, this nursery no longer offers new contracts in the school hours and times do not work with families with other children already in school.

It is a lovely school with real professionals that love what they are doing. Good environment, spaces, and resources. My child love to go to the school.

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.

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?

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.

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!!

The staff are really caring and have helped my little girl so much, who struggles with leaving me in the morning. They have let me know how she has been after I left and have given her all the attention she needs. She loves it and is so happy when I see her playing at pick up time.

If an incident happens like a fall the parents are informed about it.

The staff are very friendly and approachable. The nursery provide a wide range of activities, that support children's development.

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.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 2 and he absolutely loves the nursery, the staff are all friendly and enthusiastic.

My daughter has attended The Co-operative Childcare since she was 8/9 months old. I have never felt uneasy leaving her in the care of the staff there and am always kept up to date about her well being and time spent at the nursery via parent zone. I am welcomed every morning with a smile and a welcoming environment and I will always receive the same when I pick up. The staff are really good with giving detailed feedback about what my daughter has eaten, how she's been and exactly what she’s played with. The environments are bright and intriguing as well as the cleanliness being exactly what you’d expect for a nursery. Overall I am confident to say I would definitely recommend the nursery and always talk highly of the staff.

My little girl really loves her sessions in the nursery to the point where she speaks about her carers at home.

After 2.5 years, our daughter was very happy att he nursery and has grown thanks to the team. I would not have any concerns sending our second child here. The only niggle was with payments, something always happened and whoever's fault it was, you got a very rude letter from Co-operative main office. Not the nursery's fault but still, not a nice way to be treated.

My daughter only started a few weeks ago and she loves it and enjoys going to the nursery. I was worried about how well she will settle in, the staff made her comfortable and helped her. The staff are really help and always at hand to help with any concern.

Excellent opening hours, good, friendly staff. Good well-balanced meals. Outside play area with the occasional excursion.

My daughter has been attending Co-operative Nursery for few months now. She becomes more confident and starts speak English which is not her first language. Staff are really friendly and care for the kids very well.
