My son has always had great fun at preschool and I'm always amazed at the activities that they get up to. It's also nice they are outside in the garden quite a bit. I just hope that his sister will be able to attend next September.

Review from Marion (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery a year now and is thriving. Her development is well supported on all fronts and feedback from staff is very well communicated each day. The garden has recently been redone; it is a great space and the kids get out most days to play. Staff and management are very
friendly and my daughter responds to them all very well. The nursery is very supportive and open about nutrition - making everything on-site and using fruit purees to sweeten cakes rather than refined sugar. The nursery cost is all inclusive of nappies, food etc; granted it isn't the cheapest nursery in the area but I think the value and quality are reflected in this additional cost. Management can take a while to respond to non-urgent matters, but anything of great importance is dealt with quickly and effectively.

Review from Alice (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very nervous leaving my son at nursery however he settled in so quickly because the girls in the baby room were lovely. We couldn't be happier with the care given to our son, it is clear from his interaction with carers and management (and cook!) when I collect him that he likes everyone a lot
and loves his time at nursery. We have recommended it many times to other parents. Everyday I am pleased and surprised how many fun and messy activities the kids do. Also want to comment on how great the carers are when the kids get unwell. I always feel guilty going to pick up an ill child and not having been there, however he is always being cared for so well and cuddled in grasshoppers when I arrive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for my three year old son. He always comes home with a big smile telling me about all the exciting things he has done in the day. The staff are always warm and friendly and willing to answer any questions I have. the staff also come up with new and exciting
activities to help my son love nursery and help him develop.

Review from Heather R (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a lovely nursery. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and I have always felt comfortable leaving him, as I know he will be cared for. The staff go out of their way to know his likes and dislikes. Over the past six months there have been many staff changes and this has led to
loss of continuity of care, which does not seem to have bothered my son. At home he shows evidence of learning, such as counting, distinguishing left from right, teaching me new songs, telling me about Diwali etc. He is keen to tell me about his day.

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.
