  • Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton, London
Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton supports the transition to school as they have a link to Sherrington Primary School meaning their children have direct access to the school grounds. They make regular supervised visits to the classrooms, use the assembly halls and see the bigger children in their environment.

They 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 holds the prestigious Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible), an Eco-school programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained and they have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with the children, such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world.

They also have a ParentZone app that keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery which includes photos from their day, meals eaten, assessments and even toilet training progress!

Each age group 0-2 and 2-5 years have their own rooms which they have personalised to create their own areas they can enjoy. The nursery has a luxurious balcony for the over twos which has a roof canopy allowing the children to extend their play in an outdoor environment.

Babies have a separate soft surface garden area with artificial grass, giving them varied textures to begin to explore the outside world in play. There are musical toys and mirrors attached to the walls to provide stimulating play.

Very happy. Staff are always happy and enthusiastic. A lot of effort goes into the planned activities and my little boy really loves them.
Food is nutritious and the kids seem to enjoy it too.

The staff at the Co-operative Charlton are simply wonderful. I feel confident and happy to leave my 2 little ones with them. They are professional and friendly and I know if there was ever a concern, I could talk to them. The manager is running a great team and is passionate about the kids and the service
her staff provide. My children run through the door of the nursery busting to get in and see their friends and do whatever activities the great team have put on.
I love that they play with loads of materials. They bake and they sing and I'm always hearing a new nursery song on the way home. They are elated to see me at hometime but they love their time at nursery, I can see it and they have come along way. Both my children have homework and I encourage it. It gives me time to spend doing something educational with them and introduces me to how else I can help their progress. A wonderful idea introduced was fruit at pick up time. It's a small gesture but a wonderful one. Keep up the great ideas and wonderful work!

Amazing staff and very caring, very friendly to children and parents. Looks after the children very well. Provides plenty of activities and various types of play. Listens to parents for likes and dislikes and treats the children as individuals.
Provides a great variety of food and caters for different
dietary requirements as well as being healthy. Plenty of fruit and veg. Allows time them to have a nap should they need one. The staff always keeps us updated with the children's development and works with them if there are any areas where may not be progressing as well. Management easily accessible and also helps out with the children everyone knows who everyone is we love them.

Excellent settling in period and a lot of care was taken to ensure my child was comfortable with his key carer.
The little break off groups to participate in certain activities helps to ensure they get more attention.
Lovely, caring, friendly but firm carers.

I am very happy with my son’s care at nursery. He only does two half days a week but is always very happy going in and always tells us that he’s had a great time. He enjoys a range of activities and we love hearing about how he is doing and what he is playing with from his key worker. The communication
from the key worker was initially a bit sketchy following the switch from written day sheets to the use of ParentZone, but after I addressed this with the management things improved immediately. I always find that raising issues with the management is immediately effective. I feel listened to and understood and I am made to feel that my child is important to them.

We have been using the nursery for 6 and half years and all of the staff have looked after both of our children to a very high standard. Both of our children have thoroughly enjoyed the time they have spent at the nursery and developed and learnt a great deal in this time. Both I and my wife wouldn't
hesitate to recommend the nursery.

The Staff at The Co-operative Childcare Charlton Nursery, Bring Co-operative Childcare Organisation's Values to life, they are friendly, that creates a great environment for our Daughter to learn, and freely interact with others.


Our Daughter's creativity with drawing, confidence, sharing with

Others and vocabulary has greatly improved giving us the confidence that we indeed made the right nursery choice.


Communication from Management and Our Daughter's Key person is extremely good, in that we are able to share ideas on how as Parents can support our Daughters development at the same time keeping us informed on current and future events at the School. This makes us feel Valued as key partners.

Staff are welcoming, accommodating and attentive. My little girl loves her key worker, who is brilliant. We are always well informed of the day's events and of any learning achievements through the Parent Zone app.
Management is excellent all round and keen to take on any comments and suggestions
on board. The Manager has worked extremely hard to achieve and maintain the excellent standards.
The facilities and environment have improved so much since my eldest child attended (my third child is currently there). I would highly recommend this nursery and wouldn't hesitate to send my fourth child there.

We chose this nursery for its extended opening hours which made a huge difference when commuting into London and having to rely on trains. The extra 30 mins at each end gave us a buffer in case there were any delays. We also chose it for the lovely and spacious outdoor area in both rooms. I loved that
our toddler could go in and out whenever she wanted due to the easy access.
The staff are all amazing and I would definitely recommend this nursery.
My daughter has learnt so much and enjoys her time there.

One of the best nursery/school team! All of them are great personalities with a very personable approach and professional behaviour. The Manager of the Nursery is amazing. She embeds great value across her team and is visible by each one of the team. My Child loves going there and she talks about them
and her day with so much love each evening. She remembers what they have done and she is only 3. Some fantastic ways implemented in the learning. Very caring environment. Would highly recommend it. I am just thankful and blessed my child is part of this setting! Highly recommend it to all parents.

I have found The Co-Operative Childcare, Charlton to be a nurturing and welcoming environment for my children. I feel happy leaving my son in their care and most important, my son is delighted to go; he can't get in the class quick enough! The staff and nursery manager are friendly and approachable
- if I ever have a concern or a question they are willing and happy to listen/talk. More recently the nursery has introduced an app called 'Parent Zone'. His key worker up loads photos and comments about his day which I can log in at anytime to find out what my son is doing throughout the day whilst I am working. I can also leave a comment and screenshot his photos to keep for my family photo album.

My older child started here in 2014 and my son in 2016 - both have been extremely happy and always seem to enjoy themselves.


The staff are great, they really care about the children being happy and learning, perhaps because of its a not for profit organisation but I have never got the feeling that

they are rushed and doing the bare minimum like a lot of profit making enterprises.


We are often asked if there is anything that we are not happy about an encouraged to say so if there was anything, I have never had any comment to make but when minor things are picked up they are always quick to do whatever is needed to address any issue

All the staff are very understanding and welcoming. They took time to make my son feel comfortable He had delayed speech and had to follow a plan required by the speech therapist. I informed the Manager who informed my son's keyworker. She followed the plan and made detailed notes, even the speech therapist
was impressed and commented on how well things were going at the nursery. My son is talking more and growing in his abilities. I receive a detailed feedback sheet at the end of the day and we can communicate any issues our son has. All the staff in the Caterpillar are fantastic and very caring.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton 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 30 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 4.798 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Charlton is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.798

  • 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 Charlton 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, 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.
