  • Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton, London
Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton supports the transition to school as they have a link to Sherrington Primary School meaning their children have direct access to the school grounds. They make regular supervised visits to the classrooms, use the assembly halls and see the bigger children in their environment.

They are big on happy children. They have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on taking care of each other and the world. The nursery holds the prestigious Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible), an Eco-school programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained and they have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with the children, such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world.

They also have a ParentZone app that keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery which includes photos from their day, meals eaten, assessments and even toilet training progress!

Each age group 0-2 and 2-5 years have their own rooms which they have personalised to create their own areas they can enjoy. The nursery has a luxurious balcony for the over twos which has a roof canopy allowing the children to extend their play in an outdoor environment.

Babies have a separate soft surface garden area with artificial grass, giving them varied textures to begin to explore the outside world in play. There are musical toys and mirrors attached to the walls to provide stimulating play.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for a year and during that time we have been very impressed. The staff are warm and professional and take the time to get to know each child. She learns every day from the many activities available to her and we receive personalised tips to help her development
at home. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the early years education. Pastorally they are also very strong - supportive, responsive and there is a strong sense that they enjoy the children and have fun with them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery for two years now and the quality of the nursery has remained consistent over time. I have never had any reason to complain, on the rare occasion where there is any miscommunication the nursery manager works quickly to resolve issues. My son looks forward to going
in every morning and tells me what an amazing day he has had every day he gets back. Fantastic manager, amazing staff. Really happy that I made the right choice by placing my son there. Thank you to the entire team for doing an outstanding job.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad that your son is enjoying his time with us at the nursery and we are supporting you as well as your son.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves spending time at her nursery and is always thrilled after she comes home. She always tells me about the great food, the new nursery rhymes she has been learning, her making new friends and the new games she's learned. Also, since she's been going to the nursery, she started eating
food that she usually didn't like and now enjoys, such as peas. The staff are all very friendly and caring and I can see that in the progress she has made at home, at the nursery and mostly everywhere she goes. I also receive daily updates on what she ate/did/played with/her drawings and paintings and how much she slept, which is a relief because I know she is safe and well. Her communication and socialisation skills have been improved massively. Thank you to all the Co-op Childcare Charlton staff!

My 18-month-old son has been attending Co-op Childcare since he was 12 months old. He absolutely loves the nursery and his key worker. Co-op clearly care so much about the babies' development and happiness and I'm so happy we picked this nursery over other options in the area. The app gets updated constantly
with photos and updates which is great to read when you are at work. I'd recommend this nursery 100%.

Brilliant experience with the Co-op Childcare, from the baby room right up to reception wrap-around. Our daughter has learnt so much and we have been confident she is safe, cared for and having a great time at each stage of her care and learning. Thoroughly recommend.

Review from M C (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending since January 2021. She has really developed in Co-op Childcare and the staff are very attentive to my child's needs.
My child is undergoing some assessments for special needs and the SEN lead has been great and really has been helping with her learning plan.
The management
of the nursery is excellent and she has been with the site a very long time so is very knowledgeable and lovely.
There is a long waiting list but it shows what a great nursery it is.
They have a great daily feedback app which keeps you up to date with all meals, naps, toilet trips and daily activities with great info and pictures of my child.
The meals always look great and very nutritional.
The opening hours are one of the longest (07:30-18:30) in the area which is what attracted us to start with but so glad we joined.

Since my daughter started nursery in January she has felt settled and happy, I had no need to be nervous about her changing schools. The staff are all very friendly and take great care of the children. I receive daily updates on what they've been doing/learning/playing/eating/sleeping - which is a great
reassurance while I am at work.

We are so pleased we moved our toddler to this nursery. It just seems like a really friendly environment and the staff are patient and great at communicating. We love seeing all of the updates on the app and it is clear that they have really got to know our son and his likes and dislikes. We love that
he is outside so much exploring. He doesn’t yet speak but the size of his tummy at the end of the day also indicates that he enjoys the food he is given.

This nursery is amazing, the staff is really caring and have connected with my child in a way I wasn't expecting, my son looks forward to going to nursery, he was grown in confidence so much, and he is even writing his own name. He is learning about team work and kindness and they are reinforcing what
we are teaching at home. I recommend this nursery to everybody

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and the Co-op Childcare Charlton Day Nursery have been a part of our family for the past seven years. Both of our boys started in the caterpillar's room and sadly, the time has come to say goodbye. I cannot recommend the nursery enough - not only do they provide fantastic childcare, but
it is done so with compassion, attention and dedication. The manager always went the extra mile in providing extra support when needed (to both parents and children!). Both boys transitioned through different key workers and each and everyone played a vital part in their development - undoubtedly through the passionate and child-centred approach which the staff adopted. The nursery chef doubles as a magician as somehow, the children all eat (and enjoy) the food which she cooks - my son apparently will only eat the chef's carrots! Thank you to the manager and to the staff at Charlton Co-op - you've given both my boys the best start to their lives.

Kind and caring staff with plenty of activities during the day for the children to partake in. My child’s key worker has been wonderful, incredibly patient, calm and communicative with us. It is lovely to see what my child does during the day through the app. They have managed working through the pandemic
very well and have set out well thought out procedures and protocol and are clearly well-organised thanks to the manager, who is also very hands-on with the children as well. I would happily recommend this nursery to parents in the area.

This nursery has worked tirelessly to engage and keep safe my daughter during this strange year. Lovely staff who genuinely seem pleased to see the children each day. The progress she has made is phenomenal with the range of activities on offer. Very happy to know she is there during my working day

Our son has really developed whilst at nursery.
All the staff are on hand to give us feedback and help with his development.
He has been encouraged to learn and really enjoys numbers and reading.
The whole atmosphere at the nursery is a happy one and all the children are very engaged and happy.

I love this nursery. All the staff are great and are practically interchangeable (ie he doesn't only need his keyworker). I love the tips and ideas given to encourage learning at the weekend. I love the activities that are presented via the app (the meals look good too).
I would highly recommend this

Great nursery - my daughter is always buzzing when we pick her up. They do a wide range of activities and keep parents updated via the app during the day. My children have both formed great bonds with their key people and often talk about them in a very positive way at home.

My son has been here since September 2019 and we are very happy with the care. The links with the preschool are especially helpful and make for a smooth transition. Unfortunately, he has had a few changes of keyworker due to staff leaving but he hasn’t been affected. The manager and staff are great.
The only reason I have put ‘good’ for some areas eg ICT and equipment is that I’m not actually sure.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.848 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.848
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton is based on 25 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 + 0.1 = 4
    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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
