Review from Hina (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is so happy at the Co-op Watford. He is always excited to go in, and whenever I go to collect him, he is happily playing and learning.
He enjoys the food immensely and is always excited to tell me what he has eaten.
My son has really enjoyed the activities at the nursery. These have included yoga, disco, pirate parties and playing in the mud kitchen. There is always a variety of activities on offer, and I like the independence that the staff try to instil in the children.
The staff are friendly and always keep us up to date. They are very good with the children, and this is shown in how much the children all praise their teachers.

I would highly recommend the nursery, and have done to some friends who now send their daughter there. It is clean, safe and very conveniently located in Watford Junction Station.

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Every parent wants to know their child is safe, cared for and enjoys nursery, the ladies in the Ladybirds room do that and so much more. They run an efficient ship and we were able to adopt their routine before our daughter joined so that she was already used to the right nap and mealtimes. They have been superb when dealing with her reflux, they have used initiative and experience to adapt situations, e.g. distracting our very mobile daughter after a bottle to ensure she has some rest time and checking on her in the cot often to ensure any reflux is caught early. Ladybirds room also look after Mum and Dad, we can ask questions and time is given to explaining the answers, as first-time parents we think ourselves lucky to have access to their knowledge, we adopt hints and tips on how to encourage development at home and are confident that the care our daughter gets whilst we are at work is excellent.

Overall Experience

Co-operative is a very good nursery. My son has been attending for 6 months now and has made excellent progress. He is confident, happy, is learning every day and has made a few new friends. As a mum, I have complete peace of mind sending him there. I know he is in good hands. There are some nurseries which might be noted higher by Ofsted but I think the care at The Co-operative is outstanding and the attention given to each child is unique and very good. I'm very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience

The team are very professional and friendly and provide detailed daily feedback on my son’s progress. The team has also been particularly supportive and helping myy son for toilet training. I have no reservations about leaving my son in the care of this nursery and would recommend it to other families living in the Watford area.

Great nursery, very knowledgable and supportive staff. Only issue is the pickup as getting out of Watford junction car park can be painful at peak times.

Review from Clare (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our sons have attended this nursery and both have loved their time there. Our eldest son loved it so much we didn’t question whether to send our youngest there despite there being a nursery attached to my eldest’s school. The nursery is well led, the staff are amazing - like leaving your children with extended family. We trust them wholeheartedly. Both boys blossomed in their care - becoming sociable and confident boys more than ready for school. I remember how much it pulled on my heartstrings sending our eldest to nursery but choosing this nursery for him, and his brother was one of the best decisions we have made on their behalf.

Overall Experience

My boy started in February when he was 10 months old. They have been fabulous and really helped with the transition period. They keep me updated on the day he has had and are happy to chat through any queries etc. The convenience of being so close to Watford Junction is worth paying a bit extra for in my opinion, as a commuter. We are really happy we chose this nursery.

I have nothing but praise for the nursery and the staff - they are professional, caring and obviously in the job for the right reasons. You have helped my son's initially difficult settling in period, helped him adjust and make friends, helped potty training and given him more confidence. I would recommend you guys to anyone - many thanks!

Overall Experience

Convenient location for commuters. The staff are caring and compassionate. They work hard to get to know the children, help them settle in, and form a bond with them. The children have lots of fun activities to do, and there is outside space for them to use throughout the year too. Really glad that we chose this nursery!

Review from Katie B (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter loves going to nursery. The staff are lovely and caring. Some of which we've known for years s our older children came here.
They are entertained throughout the day with painting, outdoor play, cooking, playing with textures, dress up and songtime the list is endless.

They are very attentive to individual children's needs. My daughter was intolerant to cows milk as a baby and made sure her diet was dairy free and gave her soya alternatives. Like I said my daughter loves going and is very happy there and that is my priority.

The nursery setup is located at a convenient location and opening times are very suitable for parents who commute from the train station. The nursery can improve in cleanliness in some rooms and providing more attention to kids hygiene.

Thank you for your comments, we take great pride in our nursery provision so are disappointed to hear of your concerns around cleanliness. Your Nursery Manager will be contacting you for more detailed feedback and we hope to resolve your concerns as soon as possible.

Review from Rosemarie P (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children have attended this nursery since October 2014. They started in the baby room and are now in pre-school and I am delighted with their progress. They love all of the amazing staff who take a keen interest in both of them. I particularly like that as twins they are treated as individuals with separate key workers. Positive help and guidance with potty training, encouraging healthy eating and fun learning creates a perfect environment, this coupled with the convenience of location for the train station makes it much easier being working parents.
Staff turnover is low so that really helps with my children feeling comfortable. Each day when I pick up, I get a full download of their day.

I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

The staff in this nursery have been wonderful since my son started in August last year. They look after him and stimulate him so well I almost think I'm not exciting enough for him on our day off together! Thank you to all the ladies at Watford Cooperative Childcare, I know my child is in safe hands with you.
