Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Madley Park

Lovely nursery and staff. They’ve looked after our elder son since he was one year old. He’s had a fantastic time and is well prepared to start reception in September. We are looking forward to our younger starting. No hesitations about recommending the nursery - they’ve got fantastic staff, they care and they have been particularly brilliant during the pandemic keeping everyone safe and providing our son with a sense of normality and escape from the house!

Our son has been at the nursery since 6 months old and is now 2 years old and has just moved up to Butterflies. The team took time to get to know him and his family and have welcomed him into his new room. It was seamless and he loves it. So many activities every day and fantastic opportunities that he wouldn't have at home. The meal plans are delicious. Highly recommend the nursery having experienced 3 of the rooms and teams so far.

The staff have gone above and beyond during the Covid19 era and most importantly they truly listen to my concerns and care for my child.

The nursery has been fantastic for our son since he was nearly 1, the activities the staff set up are really imaginative, they get plenty of fresh air and healthy food - the staff are caring and always willing to help!

I cannot rate Co-op Childcare Madley Park nursery enough. As a first time parent, I was very nervous putting my child into nursery. But I shouldn't have been! Co-op Childcare Madley Park nursery have done amazingly with my child. They did so well with getting him used to the nursery and he has built such a good bond with many of the nursery staff. There is a huge smile on his face every time he sees one of the staff members. They're very friendly, know what they're doing and so kind and caring towards the little ones. The meals served to the children is also very good, and very nutritious. Overall, I would 100% recommend. I have no complaints at all about the nursery and I know my child is happy and safe being there.

Fantastic nursery, highly recommended. I have 2 children in the nursery and both of them absolutely love it and are thriving there. The staff are brilliant, all of them are very involved in making learning fun and they take such good care of the children- mine come home every evening raving about their day and can’t wait to go back in the morning. They’ve gone above and beyond during the pandemic to ensure the children are kept safe and happy.

All the staff have been amazing and have done a brilliant job of welcoming the children back after lockdown. After a few days of tears, my little one is loving being back at nursery, playing with his friends. There are lots of books, toys and activities. A really lovely, friendly nursery.

My daughter has attended this nursery since 2017 when she was only 10 months old. All of the staff have been wonderful in each of the rooms she has moved through as she has grown up. From the cuddles and care, they give to a teething baby, helping with potty training, right up to preparing her for school the staff at the nursery have done a great job. My daughter has always been treated as an individual and her personality, preferences and learning style have always been considered. As a key worker, the nursery was there for us in lockdown not only keeping my daughter safe but thinking of her wellbeing. I cannot fault how they have adapted things to make it Covid-19 safe. My daughter will miss the nursery when she goes to school and I will miss the staff at the nursery who have worked so hard looking after her and helping her grow over the last 3 years. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

We've been really happy with this nursery. Our daughter has been going for a year, now aged nearly two. The staff are really excellent and caring and our daughter has flourished since attending. The induction and transitions have been professionally handed and the nursery is extremely well managed. They have good facilities with a nice outdoor space. A particular highlight is the quality of the food prepared daily on-site. There are lots of little touches - including making gifts for parents - which are deeply appreciated. But really what makes it is the quality of the staff. We couldn't be happier with them. The app with frequent daily updates and photos for parents is brilliant. They have coped so professionally during Covid-19.

My sons have both attended Madley Park Nursery and we have been very happy with their experience. Activities are varied and imaginative and the nurturing staff have provided a really warm environment for them to grow in confidence.

Have been very impressed with the ethical stance of Co-op nurseries during Covid-19, the treatment of staff and parents, and the measures taken for safety and to reassure parents and provide information. All staff have first aid training, which saved my son’s life when he choked on a raisin. Staff also upskill regularly. Staff are very friendly, really care about learning about the children as individuals. After the lockdown, it was hard for my son to settle but they worked really hard to interest him and to use his favourite stories and activities to encourage him. The educational plan is also good, even for young kids.

My son has attended since he was 1 starting in Ladybirds and progressing through all rooms to pre-school where he will be until he heads off to school in September. It was a big decision putting him in nursery full time and despite early nerves (naturally), I can genuinely say that being at Madley Park Nursery has been a really positive experience and of huge benefit to him socially and developmentally. Staff put a huge amount of effort into the children and show genuine care, compassion and interest towards each individual child. I am not at all worried about the transition to primary school because pre-school is preparing him so well - he has made so many friends who live locally and some will no doubt be in the same class as him at primary school which is wonderful. If I have had any concerns in the past the management and room staff are very open to listen and will bend over backwards to address the issue promptly and with a positive, open mind. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough.

My child had a lovely day making valentines biscuits. He has an egg allergy and the staff changed the biscuit recipe so he could get involved with the baking and tasting. Thank you for yet again going the extra mile.

Our son has been going here for over a year now and we are more than pleased with the whole nursery. All the staff are lovely and helpful. It's nice to see a nursery that does a lot of charity events also. Our son gets lots of fun and plays as he grows, and when I pick him up he's always smiling and happy. The staff put in a lot of energy with his development, which is really good to see, and I'm always updated when he's learning something new. I would highly recommend Madley Park Nursery to anyone.

I couldn't rate this nursery higher and will miss it when they start school later this year.

The staff are amazing and are always so friendly and polite. I could not recommend this nursery more!

A friendly, safe and happy place where both my children have been encouraged to learn through varied play.

I fully trust the staff to look after my daughter and she is very happy there which makes me happy too.

Fantastic nursery with staff that really care and are friendly and attentive. My children started as 1-year-olds, the eldest was very happy there for four years and my youngest is still very happy there. They’ve learned so much, had lots of fun and made friends. Great routines as well as lots of activities and free play, and a fun, safe garden. Highly recommend.

My children started here recently and due to the warm staff, they both settled in well. I love the opportunities that the preschoolers have to learn key skills through the regular use of phonics and numeracy. The staff are caring and want the best for the children. The communication between the management and parents is excellent. Mums and dads are made aware of all nursery news and updates plus Madley Park Coop Childcare is very progressive and forward-looking. The only downs side is that they don’t offer a term-time only contract, so for me, this works out quite expensive, but despite knowing this, I still decided that this is the best place for my children and so it has proved.
