Children love to learn at Co-op Childcare Southampton. Using stories, songs and games the nursery help children develop at their own pace whilst having lots of fun!

Co-op Childcare 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 are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
Big on safety, ALL staff are paediatric first aid trained. They hold the Millie’s Mark award, something only 2% of all nurseries in the UK have managed to achieve!
Using 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children, they encourage them to be independent, make their own choices, express their feelings and make a difference in the world.
Co-op Childcare’s ParentZone app keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery days and includes photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten, and even toilet training progress!

The nursery has 5 rooms filled with resources that support children at every age and stage of their development. The friendly team, led by Manager Karen, would love to meet you and show you around so you can really understand what makes their nursery so special.

Our daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old and it has been excellent since day one. The staff are attentive, friendly and build such great relationships with the children. They are caring and always help whenever needed i.e. naps, toilet training. I know the nursery will always
support with any problem we speak to them about and they always encourage the best from my daughter.

My son joined Coop Nursery at 10 months old and he is now 3 year. From the very beginning, the staff have been amazing-caring, attentive, and always going above and beyond to provide individualised care.
They have created a nurturing environment where my child has felt safe, happy, and encouraged to
grow. The activities are engaging, and I have seen so much progress in his development, from social skills to confidence and learning.
Another great advantage of Coop Nursery is their long operating hours, which perfectly align with my long shifts at work.
I highly recommend Coop Nursery to any parent looking for a loving, supportive, and well-structured childcare setting. It has been a great experience, and I'm so grateful for the care they provide!

My daughter has recently started and I am so happy with how they have welcomed us. Very friendly staff, very polite. I always walk away knowing my daughter is in safe hands. When I collect my daughter I love that they give me a chat about the things she got up to in the day. Would definitely recommend
this nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since November 2021. Through this time she has worked through several of the rooms and in each one she has been loved and nurtured by the staff. They have always genuinely seemed to enjoy having her there, have made a real effort to address and encourage her
interests and have made me feel really comfortable.
The nursery has been good for us as parents - for example when we have wanted to book additional sessions, extend sessions etc and they have given great support around aspects such as potty training.
We're now in preschool and every member of that team makes such an effort with my child - through from immediately welcoming her when she arrives, helping to hone her skills and learning, encouraging her to improve and providing insightful handovers.
My daughter loves going to nursery and thoroughly enjoys her time there. She has made many friendships and I think she will really miss the staff when she moves on in September.

My daughter has been going here since 2021, as it was our first we were nervous about leaving her. That's when we met one staff member in particular. She is an amazing person, who you can see loves her job. She calmed us and we could instantly see the bond she made with our daughter. This goes for all
the staff here, including management in office. They know you, they know your child and you're welcomed every time you step in the building. Everyone is approachable with concerns and any we've ever had, they have been followed up and dealt with immediately.
It's a lovely place, with huge rooms for the children, large garden/playground, activities and learning everyday.
My daughter loves going here, she latched onto her room leaders and I feel like they love her like their own. From previous staff member mentioned, to another staff member in particular and now another staff member in particular. My daughters progression has come leaps and bounds, it's because of everyone here and their obvious passion for the job.
I've recommend this nursery to anyone I can and will continue to do so

My son loves coming into nursery, exploring and seeing his friends and staff- I have to ask him to say goodbye because he is so comfortable and gets stuck straight in! They give him perfect opportunities to learn and grow, as well as express himself. The staff give you lovely briefs at the end of the
day, and you can check in via the app to put you at ease. They cater well to needs/allergies.
I could write a long list of staff who have gone above and beyond to make sure he always has a great day and I am well informed at the end of it, especially 2 room leaders.

Our daughter is going to Co-op childcare in Southampton for the last 2 years.
We cannot be more grateful for the staff to make our daughter's days filled with fun, love and also education. All the practitioners are showing love and care on the best way and all of them are extremely professional. Very
good to see that they keep on with their own education so they can care for the children of different ages.
Co-op childcare was nothing but the best choice we could've made. Perfect place for the little ones to learn and make friends.
We'll be sad in September when we'll say our goodbyes as we are off to school.

welcoming staff, acts quickly on suggestions, my child has learnt a lot from them and does enjoy his time.
handovers are sometimes deficient but some of the staff members are amazing at handovers which feels reassuring like it would be nice to know how the day went, what activities were done and how
did the child participate and react, and not just eating and drinking and sleeping information.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! The staff are absolutely wonderful - caring, professional, dedicated to the children's well-being and development. The environment is fantastic for growth, with a variety of stimulating activities and a warm, nurturing atmosphere that helps the kids feel safe
and encouraged to learn and explore. I'm especially impressed with the nursery's commitment to safety, ensuring that every child is well cared for in a secure setting. The facilities are top-notch, and it's clear that the team puts a lot of thought and effort into creating an enriching experience for the little ones.Another standout feature is their exceptional menu. The meals are not only healthy and nutritious but also incredibly well-balanced. It's such a relief to know that my child is being served fresh, wholesome food every day. Overall, this nursery is a fantastic place for children to grow, learn, and thrive. I'm so grateful for the amazing care and attention my child receives here!

When first picking out a nursery it is very challenging. I didn't feel confident in any nursery I viewed except for when I visited co op Childcare Southampton. From the beginning they have been welcoming, supportive and attentive to all needs required. My daughter loves going when it's her nursery day,
the rooms are spacious and lots of activities to do. Food is great and cooked fresh onsite. Two staff members and the management team have all been fantastic since joining. It really shows that they genuinely care about the children in their care. Not a bad word to say and will continue using this nursery for as long as required. Thank you all!

From the start of my children's nursery journey (January 2025) with this nursery I have felt nothing but relief and joy knowing my children are being educated and are learning things that are not only age appropriate but also making learning fun. Both my children have come home with a smile on their
faces full of excitement. I get updated on their development every month as well as every time I pick them up from nursery. I am also amazed at how well my children eat at nursery, exploring different foods. I am overjoyed with how well my children are developing and having fun at this nursery.

I am so happy I found such a good all round nursery setting for my child. My child is always happy and excited to go in to his sessions, he comes out happy and confident at the end of every session. The staff and management are very supportive and friendly. They have made me and my child feel very welcome.
It is lovely to know that the managers don't only just manage the office but also are in the rooms helping and spending time with the children. It made me happy to see that the managers also knew my child so well as well as his key person, my son is doing extremely well with his development and learning journey with the support of the amazing Preschool team. His interaction isn't limited to just his key person, every member of staff interact with him and make him feel special. We couldn't have chosen a better setting for my son. The setting is in a good location, lovely and friendly atmosphere with so much to offer. The management team are very quick in responding to any queries.

Very happy with our daughter's care here at the Co-Op Nursery. She loves coming to see the carers and the other children. We get great feedback at the end of the day from her key worker, informing us about what she has been doing, how she has developed and what she has eaten at meal times. Our daughter
has a cow's milk allergy and we have always felt confident that she is well catered for.

My oldest child has attended this nursery since 2021 and is now in preschool. She has thrived here, has great relationships with the staff and has formed lovely friendships. She always comes back with a smile on her face and tells me about all the activities they have done that day. The long hours are
so useful for working parents and knowing they get 3 good meals a day is great. My second child started there this year and he's already loving it. Highly recommend this nursery.

We have just dropped our son off for the last time after 3 years at the Co-Op nursery and throughout that time they have been amazing. Our son has thrived under their care and has loved going. The staff really care about the children and our son has built up great relationships, especially with his
key workers over the years. He has made some lovely friends amongst the other children and he does a range of activities each time he goes. Would highly recommend them - we have always been really pleased we chose Co-Op.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Co-op Childcare Southampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.830 for Co-op Childcare Southampton is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.83

  • b) 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 Co-op Childcare Southampton is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
