Co-op Childcare Southampton

We have constantly been impressed by the warm friendly attitude of all the staff and how they helped our daughter settle into nursery and then move up to the next age group too. We get detailed feedback every day and the staff are enthusiastic and excited to tell us when she's achieved something new.

All 3 of my children have attended the Co-Operative childcare in Southampton and we have always been happy with the service provided. We have always recommended them and will continue to do so. We have one child currently in the nursery and she is always super excited to go. Our older 2 are always wanting to go back to the nursery. The staff are great and our children love them.

The indoor environment is also much improved after a refurbishment, and it seems lighter, especially in the lobby area. The nursery is kept clean. It is always difficult to leave your child in the care of someone else, but the staff at this nursery have made it that little bit easier!

What we love about Nursery is how each child is valued and made feel very special and how all the staff genuinely care about the children.

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.

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.

My child has spent almost a year here! Recommend place for a nursery and preschool! The social, linguistic and emotional development my son went through was amazing! I would recommend it to any parent interested in a safe and enriching environment!

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.

I am really happy that my son attends this pre-school.

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.

The nursery is excellent with friendly, experienced staff who go the extra mile to provide a great atmosphere for the children and good feedback for parents.

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.
