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 daughter has been attending Co-operative Nursery for few months now. She becomes more confident and starts speak English which is not her first language. Staff are really friendly and care for the kids very well.

I would thoroughly recommend the Co-operative Nursery. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and is now 2. All the staff are friendly and are so nurturing and provide excellent care. All the food is cooked on-site and he is given delicious home cooked food every day. The key workers develop
a strong bond between the parent and the child and work closely with me so that key development goals can be achieved. My son absolutely loves it here and never wants to go home! I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

I am very happy with my daughter's care. The nursery staff treat her as an individual and really seem to care about her development. She is always happy at nursery and I can see she does a variety of activities. The staff have also been very kind towards me when I was pregnant and having trouble carrying
my daughter or using the stairs.

Nice nursery, the staff are lovely and my daughter loves going. Would recommend to other parents in the area. They were really good working with my daughter's food allergies when she was little, cooking her separate meals each day (as close to what the others were having as possible) and special cakes
etc so she didn't miss out because of her allergies.

I have nothing but good reviews for this cooperative nursery. My eldest went there and due to the help and support, they gave me in helping my eldest get the help she needed. If it wasn't for the staff and managers my eldest would have never gotten the help that she needed to at an early age as my eldest
daughter is autistic and non-verbal. And due to the staff being trained they were able to communicate with my eldest daughter in Makaton. I also sent my youngest daughter there. Both girls love it there. All the staff are respectful happy friendly and helpful. I looked at quite a few nurseries before choosing this nursery. I know that nurseries are expensive but it just goes to show you have to pay a bit more to get the best care for your children.

Communication between the nursery and parents is very poor. Never had been updated on what was going on. Staff rotation is very high which was very unsettling for my child. My child has now moved nursery, the Co-op gave me a progress sheet on where they were up to, it said they were behind on a lot
of things, which really surprised me.
After 2 months of being at the new nursery and childminders, they said the report the Co-op wrote sounded like a completely different child than they know as they are exceeding in all subjects.

We have constantly been impressed by the warm friendly attitude of all the staff and how they helped our daughter settle into nursery and then move up to the next age group too. We get detailed feedback every day and the staff are enthusiastic and excited to tell us when she's achieved something new.

All 3 of my children have attended the Co-Operative childcare in Southampton and we have always been happy with the service provided. We have always recommended them and will continue to do so. We have one child currently in the nursery and she is always super excited to go. Our older 2 are always wanting
to go back to the nursery. The staff are great and our children love them.

We are very happy with the care at Co-operative Childcare, Southampton. The staff engage with the children really well, they appear to enjoy their job, and to enjoy working with children. Children are encouraged to develop, and are able to participate in a variety of activities. The outdoor area is
much improved following a refurbishment, and my own son really enjoys being involved in the outdoor activities.
The indoor environment is also much improved after a refurbishment, and it seems lighter, especially in the lobby area. The nursery is kept clean. It is always difficult to leave your child in the care of someone else, but the staff at this nursery have made it that little bit easier!

Our son has attended Co-operative Nursery for almost 2 years and we have always been really happy with the care and attention he has received. On the rare occasion where we have had problems, questions or issues they have always been resolved quickly and professionally.
What we love about Nursery is
how each child is valued and made feel very special and how all the staff genuinely care about the children.

My son has always had great fun at preschool and I'm always amazed at the activities that they get up to. It's also nice they are outside in the garden quite a bit. I just hope that his sister will be able to attend next September.

My daughter has been at this nursery a year now and is thriving. Her development is well supported on all fronts and feedback from staff is very well communicated each day. The garden has recently been redone; it is a great space and the kids get out most days to play. Staff and management are very
friendly and my daughter responds to them all very well. The nursery is very supportive and open about nutrition - making everything on-site and using fruit purees to sweeten cakes rather than refined sugar. The nursery cost is all inclusive of nappies, food etc; granted it isn't the cheapest nursery in the area but I think the value and quality are reflected in this additional cost. Management can take a while to respond to non-urgent matters, but anything of great importance is dealt with quickly and effectively.

I was very nervous leaving my son at nursery however he settled in so quickly because the girls in the baby room were lovely. We couldn't be happier with the care given to our son, it is clear from his interaction with carers and management (and cook!) when I collect him that he likes everyone a lot
and loves his time at nursery. We have recommended it many times to other parents. Everyday I am pleased and surprised how many fun and messy activities the kids do. Also want to comment on how great the carers are when the kids get unwell. I always feel guilty going to pick up an ill child and not having been there, however he is always being cared for so well and cuddled in grasshoppers when I arrive.

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.
