Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Cainscross

My daughter is happy and has grown in confidence since attending the Co-operative Nursery.

I can not thank the dedicated staff enough for all the hard work and time invested in our son. We shall miss everyone at the nursery. They will forever have a special place in our lives.

My son loves going to the Co-operative Nursery, he enjoys all the activities and thoroughly enjoys the outside space. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The manager and the team at Stroud's Co-operative Nursery are absolutely fantastic! I really would struggle to find the words to express my gratitude for the hard work, love and extra special care they give to our precious Goddaughter, every day. She has developed and flourished, from a withdrawn, anxious and shy two-year-old into a happy, confident, sociable (and very talkative!) infant within the last several months. . . and she now looks forward to nursery each morning.

Being a foster parent can be difficult, problematic and often challenging. The support, assurance and communication my wife and I have received has been invaluable. Every staff member seems to care so much for every child. They obviously all enjoy their work and this is reflected in the quite exceptionally high standards achieved. Thank you all, keep up the great work!

The Co-operative Childcare is a fantastic nursery with a great atmosphere and facilities. The staff are very friendly and my daughter loves her time at nursery. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery and have done before.

Excellent nursery my daughter is happy and thriving as a result of a well rounded and positive learning environment.

Excellent, caring and dedicated staff who have looked after my little girl from 1 year old. She is now in the preschool group and enjoys her sessions very much. All the staff are friendly and always willing to help in any way they can. I have been most impressed in all aspects of the service they provide and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The freshly prepared meals and range of menu is wonderful too. It’s never easy leaving your child with someone else to look after, but the nursery made this a painless experience. A dedicated and wonderful team, well done!

My son went to this nursery from the age of 9 months to 3 years. He loved the baby room and also the toddler room. The staff in their rooms were very attentive and my son thrived. He loved his key workers. My other son will be going here when I return back to work in July. They offer NHS discount too which helped.

My son very much enjoys going to nursery here. The staff are very welcoming and attentive to all the children and parents and offer a wide range of activities for the children. Food is prepared fresh every day giving the children a good varied diet. I would highly recommend this nursery to all my family and friends.

I am extremely happy with The Co-operative Childcare Stroud (Cainscross). My son attended there 9 years ago & my daughter is currently there now. The staff are excellent, kind and friendly. There is a great range of activities for them & a nice safe outdoor area. Highly recommended.

I have two girls at this nursery. The staff are kind and caring and very attentive. The food is delicious & their day is well structured. My girls love it there!

I have just increased the days she now goes

Our toddler loves going to nursery. She is happy there and has made some lovely friendships. She is offered fun and creative things to do and a good range of food. l One thing I do not like is having to pay full price for days when the nursery is not even open like Christmas Day and bank holidays. Also, the contract is not very flexible because you can't swap a one-off day even with plenty of warning.

Our eldest son loves being in preschool and always tells us of his adventures outside.

Lovely nursery, looking after my 18 month old very well. Very often he doesn't want to go home because he enjoys time at the much. Staff are very friendly and always happy to help.

Both my daughters have attended the nursery since they were about one year old. The staff are fantastic, they take such individual care of the children, are knowledgeable, loving and are always coming up with new ideas for making play and learning exciting. The food is always freshly prepared by their own chef, and she is outstanding. The co-op is also one of the few nurseries which offer a 7.30am start which is a lifesaver. The facilities are also excellent and always clean.

My little boy started this nursery a couple of months ago, and I was very anxious about leaving him, especially as he cried a lot to begin with. However all the staff have been very welcoming each time we've dropped him off, and his key worker and room manager have really bonded with him and he now smiles going in! I've been hugely impressed at how they've managed to get him to nap and eat while there. They've also been great at reassuring me when I've checked in during the day, being a slightly neurotic mother!

I have also noticed his development coming on since being here, in terms of walking, feeding himself etc.

We went to the Macmillan coffee morning a few weeks ago and all of the girls from his room came to say hello - I don't know if that was planned, but it made me very happy.

This morning, he happily toddled off to play with the toys and wasn't even interested when I waved goodbye - clearly has much more important things to be doing!

Thank you to all at The Co-operative (Cainscross).

Beware, started my daughter at this nursery at 18 months old, only to be told that when she's 3 years old and the 15hours free funding is eligible, that no other hours or days are available. This has left me no other choice than to leave the nursery and settle my daughter off in a new nursery where she can be given her 15hours a week. I had paid a joining fee and lost the last pre paid 3 sessions that I've just been told by the area manager, I will not be refunded. Just be careful your not relying on the 15hours funding when you start your child off in baby or toddler age.

Throughout her time here she has grown into a confident independent child who enjoys attending the setting to spend time with both her peers and staff members overall I feel this is a happy, safe environment and would highly recommend it to others.

Really good nursery, the majority of staff are really friendly, all the ones I've spoken to.
