Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park has a modern nursery which is spacious and bright and has 5 rooms (one for each age group).

The nursery is big on happy children, they have a growing area for food (and eating it) and have regular visits to local care homes. They are also big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.

They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world. Their ParentZone app keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

They hold the silver award in the prestigious Green Flag Eco-schools programme which sees children lead the way in making little changes that have big environmental differences.

The nursery has its own garden area that allows the children to play outside all year round. One section of the garden has been designed as a beach, giving the children the freedom to explore and experiment with texture and volume.

Our children always have a lovely time at nursery, there are always lots of activities set up and quite often will be directed at our children’s own interests. Activities range from crafts and painting to playing in the garden and playing with water. Activities are usually educational and focus on what’s
current at the time ie weather, seasons, upcoming celebrations etc, along with stories, singing, numbers, colours, animals etc. Communication is really good and we will often receive updates on how our children are getting on. The nursery staff are all lovely and friendly and clearly know your children and their interests very well. We have had such a positive experience with this nursery and I would recommend it to anyone! Food at main meal times is excellent and provides lots of nutritional variety.

Reply from Mariana Santos, Deputy Manager at Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review; it really does mean a lot! We are so pleased to hear your children enjoy coming to the nursery and that you feel the range of activities on offer are educational and engaging for them.

Both of my children have thrived at Madley Co-op nursery. The staff are brilliant - so enthusiastic and passionate and I can tell they really care about my children. The activities they do throughout the day to help the children learn are fantastic. The baby room and preschool in particular are wonderful.
The transformation I saw in my first child (who was a lockdown baby) after she started nursery was huge - she became so much more confident. When she starts school in September she will have had a wonderful start in life thanks to her nursery, I know she will miss all the lovely staff a lot. Thank you.

The nursery provides excellent care for our twins three days a week. We found their development really accelerated after starting at Co-op Childcare Madley Park and have always found the staff to be great with our children, in both of the rooms they have attended. We would highly recommend the nursery
to other parents who are looking into nurseries in the west Oxfordshire area.

I am really happy with Co-op Childcare Madley Park. The nursery is very well run. There’s lots of opportunity for input and feedback. There’s also a lot of flexibility with drop off and pick up and routinely the opportunity to pick up more sessions. The management is fair and transparent in their decisions.
There is a real community atmosphere and I have the feeling that my child is cared for in a personal way. Every key person she has had as she moves up through the rooms has been brilliant - caring, kind and concerned for her development.

My eldest daughter is now 3 1/2 and has been attending since she was around 6 months. She loves the nursery and the staff who work there and clearly has a great time each day. The activities are fun and wide-ranging and she always comes home excited, tired and with new pictures or stories. The food
that she is given is healthy and she seems to eat better there than she does at home!
My youngest daughter is 1 and also attends, the staff who look after her always seem genuinely pleased to see her each day and she has never made any fuss about being dropped off.
Both girls are very well looked after and it seems to me that the staff all love working there and build good relationships with the children they look after.

Great nursery! Well-structured room and garden set up.
The current staff are very friendly and helpful. Just find as though they have been overwhelmed at times and that they would benefit from an extra staff member or 2 hence why I have given the staff rating as satisfactory overall.

My daughter can sometimes get upset when I drop her off but the staff always go out of their way to get her settled quickly. They also provide updates via message or pictures so that we have the comfort of knowing she has settled. I love that the nursery does lots of different activities, some that
I wouldn’t have thought about doing - like making fresh orange juice to drink!

My 3 children have been attending this nursery for 5 years and the staff are all just so lovely and kind. My baby is starting here this week too and knowing that he will be looked after by all the ladies here makes it so much easier on me.
There is a lot of staff who have been there for a long time
which I think also says a lot about the setting. Great nursery. Love the ladies.
I have scored slightly less in value for money because the cost of childcare is not good value for money in the wider sense. However contextually I think it is for hours and what is included.

The staff are nothing but helpful, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. They put a lot of effort into making each child feel known and heard, and provided additional support to me in terms of helping my child overcome certain behavioural traits. They work with parents to provide the best care for each
individual child.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter started at Co-op Childcare Madley Park in October, then was off for a bit with illness, which set back the settling-in process a bit. She is a very social little girl but understandably was quite nervous starting nursery and being away from me. However, the staff at Madley Park Nursery
have gone above and beyond to help not only my daughter settle in but me as well! I was very nervous that she wouldn't get on well and maybe it was too soon to send her, but within just a month, she settled in so well and now talks about all the staff at home (especially her amazing key worker), and is always asking to go to nursery, even on days she isn't scheduled to go. Everyone has been so amazing with helping us address any teething issues we had and has truly made us feel so comfortable and confident that she is truly looked after and is incredibly happy as well. We feel that they provide her with even more than I could on my own, and her development is skyrocketing. Thank you for everything!

Our 2-year-old daughter absolutely loves going to nursery here. She has a really special bond with many of the staff members and she obviously feels very safe and happy to be with them. Often in the morning she reaches for them and I really value the honest and caring feedback from them at the end of
the day. She comes home and I notice new skills which she has learnt all the time which is wonderful to see. For parents to know that their child is not just safe but also really happy every day is invaluable. The manager and her team are kind, caring and nurturing towards our daughter and I am so happy we found this nursery.

Outstanding nursery, always going the extra mile. My son not only gets freshly prepared meals but is also very looked after. Staff always makes sure he's ok and pick up on the littlest odd behaviours like when he is sick for instance. Staff are super friendly and help children learn new things every
day.

Our son has been at Co-op Childcare Madley Park for over 2 years now and we are all so sad for him to be leaving for Primary in September. All the staff are so genuine and kind and really care about the children and their development. Our son has developed so beautifully and enjoyed every minute, it’s
hard to get him to leave at home time! His key teachers are amazing and deserve so much recognition!

My 2-year-old has been at Co-op Childcare Madley Park for eleven months. In this time the nursery has provided an outstanding level of care and support. He is extremely comfortable in the setting and has made incredible progress in speech and language, motor skills and numeracy. Further to this, his
interpersonal skills are blossoming and this is very much thanks to the nursery.
The level of transparency with regards to every aspect of his care has been superb, we are able to call, email or talk to his carers whenever we need and get very open, honest and thorough answers.
We appreciate that this past couple of years has been a very hard time for nurseries across the UK. We feel that Madley Park has handled this extremely well and has balanced the provision of care against the health and developmental concerns of staff and children brilliantly.
I would not hesitate to recommend Madley Park Nursery to anyone considering sending their child there!

Our son has been in the pre-school room at Co-op Childcare for nearly a year now and I've been very impressed with the facilities and services.
All staff I have engaged with are extremely knowledgeable, polite, enthusiastic and really put the children right at the heart of the service. Nothing is ever
too much trouble. They have done a great job to manage safety throughout the pandemic while ensuring some normality for the kids in very abnormal times.
At the end of every day, I get a very detailed handover and the app is a great way to receive messages, updates, pictures and manage payments easily.
I have seen my son grow in confidence, develop positive friendships and thrive with his numeracy and phonics while in their care.
I would highly recommend this nursery to friends. Thank you for all you do.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.788 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.788

  • 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 Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Madley Park is based on 28 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
