Ofsted rating for Co-op's Tadworth Nursery is Good (October 2021)

Co-op Childcare Tadworth is set in a beautiful location in The Children's Trust mansion grounds with easy access to nature trails, a wilderness walk and large lawn areas, This unique spot also lets their children interact with children with disabilities and additional needs regularly, teaching them understanding and acceptance at an early age.

They use their 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with their children such as encouraging them to express their feelings to making a difference in the world. They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.

Their app for parents, Famly, keeps them updated on life at nursery with things like photos from their day, meals eaten, assessments and even toilet training progress! The nursery is silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They are big on happy children and have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local area and take care of each other and the world.

There are 3 home rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: 3 months – 2 year olds (including a sleep room and creative studio), 2-3 year olds and 3-5 year olds.

There are two secure, enclosed, landscaped garden areas which are tastefully sectioned off to provide safe play areas even if all age groups are out at the same time and include covered areas to enable children to have access to the outdoors in all weather conditions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An incredibly caring and nurturing environment that is very well managed despite the difficult global environment of the last 14 months. Our daughter has thrived and developed so much and loves each day she goes to nursery - she has personal connections with so many staff members and each seem genuinely
connected to her well being and development as well. We feel so lucky we made the decision to send our child here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to entrust their child’s care to someone. Their mindset to play, diversity, learning and even nutrition is something I am fully supportive of and I know I don’t need to worry at all about anything while my daughter is being cared for there.

My child has been there a month and I have seen a change in her, with the day to day learning that she gets from the nursery, she seems very upbeat and very interested in what she does there. The updates that we get from the app are great and it shows progress and what she does of a day. I think one
member of staff has got on with her and provides regular updates to view. I look forward to having my first parents evening.

My child has only been attending for a short while but she has settled so quickly and she is so happy when I collect her. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and will do anything to the best they can to help and support us if we need anything. My child attends another setting and the staff have gone
to great lengths to ensure their is communication with them to work together, to make sure my daughters development is on track. The nursery has a great outside door space and is used daily. I get lovely updates of photos of when she first settled in and then monthly observations. Also a daily report of what she has been up to. The nursery also has a great menu, it is all freshly cooked on site and they go by healthy eating so lots of fruit and vegetables! Especially in the times we are in at the moment the nursery is doing everything it can and has great Covid-19 procedures in place for all adults and children. A great nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a really caring nursery. They really think about the details and keeping my child safe is clearly a priority. He took time to settle in and they took the time to work on strategies and discuss these with me to help him. He clearly has fun and for me that is the main point of going to nursery!
The food menu is amazing and they adapt to dietary needs. Thanks to all the team!

My daughter has been nurtured at this nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds in her play, speech and her mobility. The staff are so kind and friendly and my daughter loves them, genuinely wants cuddles with them, like they are family. They have adapted to Covid-19 restrictions and the children seem
unaffected in their little worlds.
My daughter had bronchiolitis in the first few weeks of starting the nursery, it was this nursery that picked it up and called me straight away.
They support my daughter and me and have a very personal approach.
Cannot recommend it highly enough and the food the kids eat is so yummy and nutritious.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery in October 2020. The team were incredibly supportive to me, as I found leaving my firstborn little one and returning to work a very daunting experience. Despite the challenges that covid brought, the team have kept good communication with us. They always have my son’s health
and well being at the forefront of everything that they do. I would highly recommend this nursery, they are very accommodating of part-time nursery care requirements and provide longer hours than I found with other nurseries in the area.

Co-op Childcare, Tadworth is a wonderful nursery. The staff are all so lovely, the nursery itself and the outdoor facilities are wonderful. Our son started showing some speech delay and the nursery has acted quickly, showed great care and have been so helpful in finding help. We can see how much passion
they put into everything they do and how much they all care for every child under their care.

As parents, we have been so pleased with the nursery. Our child loves his days there with the caring and thoughtful staff. They have spent the time to really get to know him and form a relationship with him all, of which have made us feel that he is well looked after and cared for on his days away from
home. Thank you so much to the Tadworth team.

This nursery is an amazing place for children to learn.
My 1st child attended the nursery and this was the only place I wanted my 2nd to go to.
The staff treat each kid like they are their own so it's like a home away from home and a safe place to send your child. Highly recommend this nursery to
anyone.

I just love this nursery. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The children are so content. The use of the app to keep parents up to date is a great thing, especially in the early days, keeps your mind at rest. We are so glad we chose it for our daughter. In our view, she is already developing so well.
My only comment is sometimes the food on the menu is not what they have eaten which confuses me, however, the food choices and varieties are great.

Friendly staff who really care about the children.
One of our Daughters has just started school and is achieving above expectations. We are sure that is due to the education she received at the nursery.
Would definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.455)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.455) out of 10 for Co-op Childcare Tadworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.673 for Co-op Childcare Tadworth is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.673
  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 4.782 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Co-op Childcare Tadworth is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.882
  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.
