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.

My son currently attends the holiday club at this setting and I have always been very happy with the provision. The staff are welcoming and friendly and show the utmost care to my son when he is here. I always look forward to picking him up and hearing about all the lovely things he has been doing.

Lovely nursery, both my children leave at the end of the day really happy. My youngest has always been so clingy and shy but since going to nursery he has really grown in confidence. Highly recommend.

My little one absolutely loves it, gets up excited about his day to come and goes in without a problem. The staff are brilliant and always informative about his day and any problems he has had. He loves the staff and is always asking where his key worker is. He comes home chatting all about his day
and singing songs he loves as he never did this before and has come out of his shell towards people as it is growing his independence and confidence not being at home with me. I can't recommend them enough and thank them enough for this

The staff have taken the time to get to know my child at each stage of her time in the nursery, from nine months to preschool. She has had excellent care and all of her learning needs and play have been met. Management have been extremely supportive, offering extra sessions when needed to accommodate
my working pattern. I am very grateful that my child has had the fantastic opportunity to attend and see her develop and watch her flourish.

Overall I think the nursery is really good, they have a lot of activities. My daughter really enjoys her time there. The only thing is the small variety of foods they have and I feel that sometimes the food is not appropriate for babies.

My child's development has improved massively since starting at the nursery. She is involved with lots of fun and exciting activities. The staff were really reassuring when she was settling as due to being with just myself throughout lockdown, she was very resistant to leave me.

My daughter settled in straight away despite the new Covid-secure settle sessions and loves going to nursery. She thrives in the engaging environments that the nursery provides and has grown in confidence since starting at 12 months. I was worried about the long days and being separate from me, especially
after 6 months of lockdown being just us two but she absolutely adores her key workers and the other room workers.

My son has been at Little Pioneers for over a year now and I can't fault the care he's received. He's absolutely thriving and can't wait to go to nursery every day. The carers are really good with the children and it's obvious they build good relationships with the children they care for. The nursery
have really good facilities both inside and outdoors in the form of a garden with climbing equipment. The children are provided with balanced meals and snacks and my child has tried several new things since being at the nursery and is happier to try new things at home. My son has had some extra help with his speech and language and the nursery and their SENCO have been brilliant at supporting him. I couldn't recommend them more.

Since my daughter started she quickly became settled being left (despite seeing a few other people due to lockdown for such a long time). The nursery have been great with her dietary needs, sourcing free from food for her. Staff are always warm and welcoming and I look forward to my daughter moving
through the nursery as she grows.

My daughter struggled at Nursery at first as she is very shy, however, now she can’t wait to leave and go to nursery. She talks about the staff, the children and the nursery throughout the week, wanting to make cards at home for them all etc - and she only attends one day per week, so I think this is
testimony to how well they have engaged with her and made her feel relaxed and happy there.
Since joining the nursery my daughter's confidence has rocketed.
I have found the staff very welcoming and they have made me feel like part of the group constantly which I feel is important.
I have full faith in the quality of the care they are giving.
I have always found the room to be clean and inviting and love the free flow access to the garden.
I would and have highly recommended this nursery to my friends and family.

We love all the teachers who are warm, caring and very professional. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you so much for making

I would say this is the best nursery my child has ever attended and would 100% recommend to anyone. They have very caring and loving staff who will always help as much as they can in any situation. I, as a parent, go to work each day knowing my child is happy and is always learning new things. Furthermore,
my child has been at this nursery for almost a year now. Before he started he was shy, didn't talk much and found it hard to socialise. Now there isn't a day where he doesn't enjoy himself and he's smiling.

The staff have always been really helpful and friendly and incredibly supportive of my son. I can tell he loves it by how attached he is to particular members of staff often running to them excitedly and giving them cuddles at drop off. We've had a fantastic experience for over a year now and will be
very sad when he eventually leaves to go to school.

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.
