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

The food is always varied and my son often has seconds!

I also find the parent zone a brilliant extension to the communication given, it is great to see what my daughter gets up to when I’m not around.

My little boy has loved going to the nursery from day one. The staff are brilliant and very friendly and caring and have really helped me track his progress at times when I have been worried that he is not developing as much as he should be. The manager of the nursery is excellent and seem's to genuinely care about all of the children and this makes such a difference.

The staff have all been extremely professional and available. My son's keyworker was amazing, really supportive and listened to my wishes. It was a difficult time for me personally leaving my baby at first but the staff made the transition very smooth for me. The staff are all very caring and gentle (I only have experience with the baby rooms).

My son loves it there. When I drop him off in the morning the other children all seem to be very settled and happy too. The set up is organised and nursery appears to be very clean.

My son is half Portuguese and to accommodate his needs the staff wrote Portuguese words for him and put them in the room to label objects. This was a very individualised approach and much appreciated.

I recommend the nursery.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old and has progressed through each room. All the staff are polite and helpful and take excellent care of my daughter. The new app is a great way of seeing how she is getting on and what she’s eaten etc and the observations of her progress are fantastic to see pop up on my phone. I love seeing the photos of her playing and learning with her friends.

I am extremely satisfied with this nursery, my son has always been extremely happy here since he started at ten months old, the practitioners here are loving, caring and go out of their way to ensure my son's needs are met. He has made lots of friends and talks so fondly about the staff who look after him. I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my son to attend, and couldn't recommend it enough to others.

My children enjoy attending this nursery and have built up great relationships with the staff and peers alike. They are actively encouraged to develop their personal, social and emotional aspects and flourish within this setting.

I have two children in the nursery and have always been happy with the level of care my children receive, the openness and flexibility of the nursery. In particular, the staff are amazing, approachable and helpful. The early years learning is great and there is an opportunity for feedback and parent involvement as well which is particularly helpful.

We are very pleased with the care our son receives here. He is learning so much and the staff is extremely caring and knows him, his needs and quirks in and out. When he is on a break and we walk by the nursery, he tries to pull us towards the door and wants to go in to play. He also loves the food and eats even more than at home.

It is quite expensive, but you can see with all the material they use for learning and playing as well as the activities where the money goes. We definitely recommend this nursery.

I have had bad experiences with the management, being requested to hang around in the morning because staff are running late - not great when it means you're late for work/have a train to catch. At times the invoices are incorrect so need observing/checking and administrator is not in every day.

The staff who care for the children are excellent, I couldn't wish for a happier child and the development had been outstanding since starting here. Overall, I would recommend this nursery. Minor complaints but most of the time I couldn't wish for more for my child.

Always received a good service. My children enjoy attending, only problem is having to pay for bank holiday though the nursery is closed when both children attend Monday is very expensive.

I took my child out in December 2016 for a number of reasons including cleanliness and care of my child and lots of staff changes including agency staff. My child was allowed at 2 to go to dirty toilets on her own and often came home with soiled knickers and when I told a member of staff they didn't care.

Our daughter has always been very happy here. The children get plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in almost all weathers, which I think is important. The staff are very friendly and caring, and were happy to accommodate my wishes for my daughter to use our own cloth nappies and to eat fruit rather than the occasional puddings the children are given (the food appears to be very good!). My only slight issue has been some confusion in communication with management.

My daughter is in ladybird room and really enjoys it. She only started in Jan 2017, but the staff are lovely and have helped her settle in well. They do a good range of activities during the day and my daughter always comes home exhausted, so I know she's had fun!

After my daughter started it took a little while for her to enjoy attending but with such a great support network and a reassuring team of assistants and staff she absolutely loves it now which I didn't think was possible. I am incredibly impressed with the communication and professionalism and with how helpful everyone is. Thank you very much.

There is regular and open contact from the managers, as well as the staff working directly with the children being friendly and approachable.

A lovely nursery that offers good value for money and flexible hours for working parents. Good outdoor facilities. Spacious well equipped and colourful rooms. Friendly staff. Great Manager. Happy children!

Managed brilliantly. Staff help children feel safe and cared for (settle in well and quickly). Offer great support and advice. Children are happy and stimulated. The chef ensures food is balanced and nutritional with cooking sessions every other week.
