Co-op Childcare Woolwich

My child appears to enjoy going to nursery and has a good relationship with all the staff so I am told. There is rather poor communication both in-person and through the parent sharing app coupled with a constant change of staff making it is difficult to know who is who. We have had two Teams meetings during the last year though nothing for the parents to get to know each other. Prior to Covid, there were evening events put on for parents. Management does not appear to take responsibility, rather passing it down to the room staff along with the blame for mistakes or disappointment. Though I have been asked for feedback, it does not seem to be considered as there has been very little response. There are some really passionate staff members who genuinely care about the kids. The location, hours and cost are the main reasons we remain here.

My son was born through the pandemic, so once I returned to work I needed to find a nursery that would support and encourage the lack of exposure to activities/playgroups etc. he has had and also interact with him again, something that has been very limited throughout his first year. I visited a few nurseries, some very unhelpful or restrictive due to Covid even though lockdown had eased, soon as I visited this nursery I got a sense of care, attention and values towards the growth and development of the children and their parents. Loved the layout and resources available to children.

It is almost impossible not to appreciate the work the staff and management of Co-op Childcare Woolwich. I have only to go through the pictures gallery of my daughter from when she was a toddler to when she started calling other kids “Toddlers” and now getting ready for reception next month. It’s has been an incredible journey for us the parent and the kids and there are no better people to share that journey with than you guys at Woolwich Co-op. The incredible work you do is evident in the brilliant growth observed in our kids. The live feeds on the web profile have also been brilliant as it allows real-time follow up on what the kids are up to and the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff and management have been impeccable. I will certainly continue to recommend you to friends and family. Thanks.

My daughter attended this nursery for a short period just before we moved. It was very upsetting to leave! The staff are amazing, caring and attentive to all the children. All staff are very supportive towards the parents, as well as the building being very clean with a professional setting for the children. Health and safety is very high, which leaves no concerns once the little ones are behind the doors! I would recommend anyone to join. I’m sad we were unable to stay. Yet to find a replacement as good as this nursery.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 2 months now and the staff have been so caring towards us. The transition from home to nursery has gone smoothly as they have followed through with my daughter’s routine. I get regular updates of what she is doing during the day, I have also requested photos of her and when they can I get sent photos of activities she has taken part in during the day. I feel I can call the nursery and check on how my daughter is doing. My daughter enjoys the food here and the room and garden have lots of fun activities to keep her busy and engaged.

I have my second child at the nursery now. It went through some not so great times before and during Covid with regards to staffing and organisation, but since new managers have taken over, all seems much better again, like it was when my first child started.
My second is flourishing. He loves all the staff and has moved up to the next room seamlessly.
Also, their menu is outstanding! I often wish I could eat there!

My experience with the nursery manager has been fantastic, she is very friendly, quick to resolve any issues you might have and she is absolutely welcoming and always ready to help you. My little one is graduating next month (July 2022) and onto primary in September 2022. The staff there are very friendly, my little one loves it. Would highly recommend.

My son has had a great time at this nursery with the lovely staff. It’s the only nursery where he adjusted really well and I’m extremely happy with his development throughout his time at the nursery. I love that they have a wonderful outside place with so many things for the kids to do. Would highly recommend.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 9 months old and the staff there have been instrumental to his development and well-being for the past three years. He has really flourished in terms of communication, emotionally and socially and this is all down to the patience, love, care and support he’s received from the staff. The nursery has definitely been a home away from home for my son and we are sad that we have to leave because of a change in circumstances.
A very big thank you to management and the team for your dedication and commitment for making the nursery a safe, supporting and nurturing environment. I highly recommend this nursery to all prospective parents looking for an excellent childcare setting!

Our daughter is really happy at the Co-Op Childcare nursery in Woolwich. The staff provided a lot of support to help her settle in and are attentive, and kind and provide us with lots of updates and feedback. The food is great and healthy and with lots of variety. The children spend a lot of time outside in the garden which is important to us and we’re very happy we chose it!
