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.

My son absolutely loves it here, he comes home after a day at nursery absolutely beaming. It’s been great seeing him develop as he progresses through the rooms and nursery has really helped his confidence and his speech. The staff are lovely and kind, and a little bit magic, getting my son to try food
he won’t touch at home! My daughter will be going here in October and I look forward to watching her journey. Really recommend this nursery.

My daughter started here in July 2021 at 11 months old. The setting has always been great at communicating with me from the very start arranging and navigating the settling in sessions all the way to the present date communicating regarding my daughter moving up rooms and changing days in September.
My daughter has a great bond with her current key worker and the other staff in her room, so much so she talks about them on non-nursery days! The girls are all so approachable and I feel completely comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. Each day my daughter is in the setting I receive regular updates through the Parent Zone app on her meals, sleep, nappies and photos of her doing activities. Each month I have sight of an observation on her development, and her next step for the following month. I am confident that my daughters key worker knows my daughters interests and always bases activities around these interests. Overall I am extremely happy with the care provided.

Highly recommend Co-op Madley Park Nursery - the staff are brilliant, from my son’s assigned key worker to the other staff in his room and the management team. They really take the time to get to know the children and offer really engaging and varied activities that support his development, as well
as plenty of time outdoors in the garden area. The food is also nice and varied and healthy.

Lovely nursery and staff. They’ve looked after our elder son since he was one year old. He’s had a fantastic time and is well prepared to start reception in September. We are looking forward to our younger starting. No hesitations about recommending the nursery - they’ve got fantastic staff, they care
and they have been particularly brilliant during the pandemic keeping everyone safe and providing our son with a sense of normality and escape from the house!

Our son has been at the nursery since 6 months old and is now 2 years old and has just moved up to Butterflies. The team took time to get to know him and his family and have welcomed him into his new room. It was seamless and he loves it. So many activities every day and fantastic opportunities that
he wouldn't have at home. The meal plans are delicious. Highly recommend the nursery having experienced 3 of the rooms and teams so far.

As a first time parent, I was worried about putting my son into nursery but our experience with Madley park has been brilliant so far.
I keep in touch with them about any concerns and they instantly respond with the most caring and professional attitude trying to help me and my little boy.
The changes
in his development are remarkable and most importantly he is happy and loves spending time there.
The staff have gone above and beyond during the Covid19 era and most importantly they truly listen to my concerns and care for my child.

I cannot rate Co-op Childcare Madley Park nursery enough. As a first time parent, I was very nervous putting my child into nursery. But I shouldn't have been! Co-op Childcare Madley Park nursery have done amazingly with my child. They did so well with getting him used to the nursery and he has built
such a good bond with many of the nursery staff. There is a huge smile on his face every time he sees one of the staff members. They're very friendly, know what they're doing and so kind and caring towards the little ones. The meals served to the children is also very good, and very nutritious. Overall, I would 100% recommend. I have no complaints at all about the nursery and I know my child is happy and safe being there.

Fantastic nursery, highly recommended. I have 2 children in the nursery and both of them absolutely love it and are thriving there. The staff are brilliant, all of them are very involved in making learning fun and they take such good care of the children- mine come home every evening raving about their
day and can’t wait to go back in the morning. They’ve gone above and beyond during the pandemic to ensure the children are kept safe and happy.

My daughter has attended this nursery since 2017 when she was only 10 months old. All of the staff have been wonderful in each of the rooms she has moved through as she has grown up. From the cuddles and care, they give to a teething baby, helping with potty training, right up to preparing her for school
the staff at the nursery have done a great job. My daughter has always been treated as an individual and her personality, preferences and learning style have always been considered. As a key worker, the nursery was there for us in lockdown not only keeping my daughter safe but thinking of her wellbeing. I cannot fault how they have adapted things to make it Covid-19 safe. My daughter will miss the nursery when she goes to school and I will miss the staff at the nursery who have worked so hard looking after her and helping her grow over the last 3 years. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

We've been really happy with this nursery. Our daughter has been going for a year, now aged nearly two. The staff are really excellent and caring and our daughter has flourished since attending. The induction and transitions have been professionally handed and the nursery is extremely well managed.
They have good facilities with a nice outdoor space. A particular highlight is the quality of the food prepared daily on-site. There are lots of little touches - including making gifts for parents - which are deeply appreciated. But really what makes it is the quality of the staff. We couldn't be happier with them. The app with frequent daily updates and photos for parents is brilliant. They have coped so professionally during Covid-19.

Have been very impressed with the ethical stance of Co-op nurseries during Covid-19, the treatment of staff and parents, and the measures taken for safety and to reassure parents and provide information. All staff have first aid training, which saved my son’s life when he choked on a raisin. Staff also
upskill regularly. Staff are very friendly, really care about learning about the children as individuals. After the lockdown, it was hard for my son to settle but they worked really hard to interest him and to use his favourite stories and activities to encourage him. The educational plan is also good, even for young kids.

My son has attended since he was 1 starting in Ladybirds and progressing through all rooms to pre-school where he will be until he heads off to school in September. It was a big decision putting him in nursery full time and despite early nerves (naturally), I can genuinely say that being at Madley Park
Nursery has been a really positive experience and of huge benefit to him socially and developmentally. Staff put a huge amount of effort into the children and show genuine care, compassion and interest towards each individual child. I am not at all worried about the transition to primary school because pre-school is preparing him so well - he has made so many friends who live locally and some will no doubt be in the same class as him at primary school which is wonderful. If I have had any concerns in the past the management and room staff are very open to listen and will bend over backwards to address the issue promptly and with a positive, open mind. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough.

Our son has been going here for over a year now and we are more than pleased with the whole nursery. All the staff are lovely and helpful. It's nice to see a nursery that does a lot of charity events also. Our son gets lots of fun and plays as he grows, and when I pick him up he's always smiling and
happy. The staff put in a lot of energy with his development, which is really good to see, and I'm always updated when he's learning something new. I would highly recommend Madley Park Nursery to anyone.

My twins have been at Madley Park Co-operative from the baby room. They have worked their way through the rooms and are currently in preschool.
I have always been thoroughly impressed by all the staff. The kids have loved going which ultimately is my main aim.
They eat healthy meals and are offered
imaginative activities to develop their varying learning needs.
Both my twins had a speech delay and have been under the Senco. We have had monthly reviews to set goals to meet these additional needs.
I love getting updates on the parent app as to what they have eaten, slept, etc. and we get very thorough assessments with photos to identify areas of strength and areas for development.
They have a wonderful link with the local care home and also arrange interesting projects and activities.
The staff have the patience of saints and all really positive and approachable.
I couldn't rate this nursery higher and will miss it when they start school later this year.

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.
