From day 1 both my daughter and I have had a positive experience with Walcot Co op nursery. Staff are very attentive, caring and engaging.
The nursery itself has a lovely feel and is a very clean, warm environment.
Communication is brilliant with updates on the app showing how your child's day
is going, what they've had to eat, nap times etc.
My daughter has learned so much since starting a few months ago and looks forward to her day at nursery. I'm sure she will continue to thrive in this setting. Highly recommended.

They've been incredibly accommodating to our child who's had a bit of trouble settling in and forgiving of us being pretty spread thin and disorganised while we were moving homes and mama started work again

My son has been going to this nursery for about 2 years now and the quality and care has always been excellent. I feel safe and happy having my son go to this nursery. I always enjoy talking to the staff and hearing about his day. The updates my wife and i receive through the portal are always
welcome, and help us understand his progress.

My son has been attending this nursery for just under two years now. My son initially was not settling in as the environment was new for him and was meeting new faces. The staff here are very friendly and very supportive, they helped my son to settle in and kept him engaged. They are always hands on
and support the child's needs. They engage the kids with new activities on a weekly basis and are always there to answer any questions. My son really enjoys his time at the nursery.

My son has had a lovely experience at the nursery. The staff are caring, supportive, and attentive, and he has grown in confidence, social skills, and independence. We are very happy with the nurturing environment and the progress he has made.
27 January 2026
As parents we are grateful to all the staff of Coop nursery walcot to their unwavering support, patience and dedication for helping and teaching our son to develop more skills.Since my son joined he progressed a lot, and build up his confidence in the nursery, as he always looking forward to go to
nursery, he always said he had a good time or good day, for us as a parents it's makes us feel comfortable and happy that our son go to place that he feel happy and enjoyed the company of the staff and other children's. My son learned more skills too such to be more creative, knowledgeable, and learning more to communicate (can't stop him talking sometimes he he he) but in the good way.
So we would like to say Thank you for the amazing care and guidance you've given to our children. And we always appreciate it. Please keep up all the good works.

My first son went here 8 years ago and started his school one of the cleverest and most confident in his class. When we were blessed with our second son a year ago we had no doubt that the Co-Op nursery at Walcot was the best place for him to go. He has settled in fairly quickly and I have seen both
my sons grow with confidence that is largely down to the care and support they have received here. The staff are caring and support both parents and children through the challenges of illnesses, separation anxiety and help develop children's interests. At 15 months my son's vocabulary is growing rapidly and he runs, dances and loves to socialise with other kids and grown ups. A great place to start your little ones if you're returning to work.

The nursery staff are very welcoming. Everyone feels st home when at the nursery. My children have enjoyed their time at the nursery. The Christmas plays are always amazing and the staff work very well with the children for great performances.

Couldn't fault the nursery staff, they always go above and beyond for my daughter. She always comes home happy and has the best time. She is always learning new things and has consistently thrived since starting last August. Always thankful!

Excellent childcare with caring staff and a safe, welcoming environment. We are very happy with the childcare service. The staff are kind, professional, and truly care about the children. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, and the facilities are clean and well-organized.

Very disappointed with how the nursery handled my son's additional needs. He is autistic and has an EHCP, but this was only progressed after outside professionals stepped in. He often went all day without eating, and for months the nursery refused to allow food from home until they were challenged
on their policy.
More recently, council-funded 1:1 support was arranged, but the nursery didn't work collaboratively with the agency. When the agency withdrew, we were abruptly told they could no longer care for him - with no transition plan. After years in their care, this left us with no childcare, no respite, and I've to now suddenly stop working as a 'single' parent. I would not recommend this nursery to any family with a child who has additional need!

while at work thinking she is looked after so well in the nursery by the amazing staff who i see have worked so much on my childs transition.thankful to each and every staff for every little contribution even a hug matters when these tiny tots are distressed..

My child loves going to this nursery. They are very helpful and very supportive and I see zo much progress with my child, with their great work. All the staff are very welcoming and cheerful. Best place for your child to start his first steps into learning.

Our daughter has being with the nursery for about 2 years now.
She enjoys her time in the nursery. We can see the progress.
I particularly like that the targets are well spelt out for us and we can support her at home as she is being supported in nursery.
The staff are friendly and happy to
help.
I would recommend this nursery.

The best staff! The team in the pre-school room are fantastic and always helpful. My son has the best time being here. I know my son is well looked after and safe while he's at nursery.

My little one has been going to the Co-op Childcare Walcot nursery since 2023. It is almost 2 years now. Wow. The nursery staff have always been helpful with every little detail. My little one loves it there.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for a few months now and the staff that work here are very welcoming and very friendly. My little boy really enjoys his time here with everyone and has made a great start to nursery.
I always get feedback at the end of the day when picking my son up so
I know how his days been.
My little boy has also made a few friends already which is brilliant.
13 January 2025
The staff and management of the nursery have been exemplary throughout. They have been as flexible and supportive as possible when our daughter (16 months) had to have surgery (at 12 months), ensured that all of her needs were met during recovery and now during the rehabilitation stage.
As a more
general comment, it's obvious that our daughter loves being at nursery, which is in no small part due to the staff. Her eating has really come on and its been very helpful to see what she eats and when each day through the app. Not only is she excited to go because she's enjoying herself, but when she comes home it's obvious that she's learned new skills. Her fine motor skills and communication have come on leaps and bounds and we're generally just very happy with our choice of nursery.

My daughter has just left Co-op Walcot after 4 years and 3 months - starting at 6 months old. We have had the best experience at Walcot. From the baby room all the way to preschool we have felt nothing other than care, dedication but most of all consistency. I think this is a true reflection of the
team that cared for her. Staff retention is very clear and the same faces were still there from the day she started.
She's confident, she's happy and she always talks about the 'teachers' with the most positive outlook. The nursery provided a stable place while we as a family navigated grief but it also provided a place where career wise we were able to work in confidence.
Our days off could be full of fun with her as she was developing and emerging as she should. This has been confirmed more than ever as her first week at school she is top of the class in phonics.
Thank you.
