January 4, 2022 at 12:00 amOur 13-month-old has been at Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative since September and he is really thriving there. The staff are really kind and responsive to his needs and we have noticed him come on so much. Fundamentally, it is just great that he is just so happy and settled there and that we can tell the staff are very fond of him.

January 5, 2022 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative is incredible. With real thought and reflection they have created a child-centred nursery where play, learning and discovery is directed by the children, from babies to pre-school. We receive daily verbal and written updates on our child’s day and progress and regular formal updates on his development while our child discovers music, water, sand and so many other things. Meanwhile, he eats better than he would at home, the staff are incredible and our child has a generally great time.

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative has been nothing short of excellent for our daughter. She started going there when she was 11-months-old and is now 2. Nursery is an absolute favourite – she loves the spaces, the garden, the activities and the people. The staff are kind and loving and you feel completely confident leaving your children in their care. All the kids are known to the management team by name and there is so much personal care and attention shown to each child. Personalities are nurtured and developed and the philosophy of open-ended play and exploration chimes beautifully with us. We love the creativity that the atelier brings to the nursery – even if the kids are not at that age just yet. From handmade cards and crafts to a little lending library, the team are a great inspiration! We are relatively new to the region and this has been one of the most satisfactory and stress-free aspects of our move.

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have had three children at Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative. Two were adopted, one needed help because he had previously undiagnosed global developmental delay. Childsplay developed a bespoke programme of education and support for our child and he came on leaps and bounds. My wife and I are so grateful.
More broadly, the staff are wonderful and really love their jobs and that is great for all the children there. Facilities are second to none and the children do so very much there. My boys have loved the garden, the trips out to forest school and the allotment (all included). They’ve benefited from learning French and Spanish (extra cost).
I recommend Childsplay to anyone who asks!

April 22, 2022 at 12:00 amSince starting nursery at Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative my daughter has been through some tricky adjustments to her regime due to Covid. Childsplay have been flawless throughout. Their support and care have helped me and my wife through some anxious times and my daughter’s love for her time at the nursery and her joy in the experiences she brings home are clear. Childsplay was recommended to us by friends of ours who had spoken so highly of it and I’m so glad they did.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative has been fantastic for both our boys. Truly child-led with a caring and supportive environment we have felt so happy having our children here. The staff are exceptional and provide thoughtful feedback and the opportunity for some brilliant experiences such as forest school. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amIt feels so good to have the assurance that my little one is with the best carers who individually focus on children and develop them to be happy and independent. The relationship that the staff and management build and maintain with parents puts parents’ minds at ease, that the priority here is the children and nothing else. You can be sure they do what is best for the children and their future.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amI couldn’t rate this nursery and the staff highly enough. I feel incredibly lucky to have had my child looked after by this team, they’re amazing and as a parent, I have felt welcome and supported every single day.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely excellent. The staff, the environment and how they are always striving to improve and keep building on what they have further. We regard them as family, and this is felt mutually. We are very lucky that our children have been able to begin their child care and education through Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd.

July 12, 2022 at 12:00 amChildsplay is a wonderful nursery, and I have no doubt that the interest of each child is at the heart of everything they do. The nurture, support and individual care shown to each and every child from everyone who works there is a credit to them. There is no other place I would want my child to learn and develop in those early years. The menu and food are fantastic, and the learning opportunities are fantastic from allotments, forest schools, learning languages and magical outdoor spaces. The children couldn’t be happier.

February 21, 2023 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd is such a gem and I am so pleased to be able to be part of it. They provide an evidence-based environment for child-led learning and development, a nutritious and varied menu of freshly cooked meals, and even more importantly, a fun and safe place for my baby to grow. The staff are knowledgeable, warm and welcoming, as is the broader community of the Co-op. From the first day, I’ve known my child is in experienced hands and will be treated with respect as a person as well as being genuinely cared for by everyone there.

February 21, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have just started sending our 15 month old daughter to Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd and we have been absolutely blown away by the nursery. The staff are such a credit to the place and immediately made us feel a part of the family, from the very first day. We were amazed at the care and consideration that went into settling our daughter in – starting from just meeting other mothers of young babies due to start nursery in the next couple of months, all the way up to making sure our daughter’s key worker was able to be around for every settling in session. Every single morning our daughter walks happily into nursery waving at all the staff who clearly adore the children. They have been so accommodating with her diet as she has quite a severe allergy and I have never felt the need to remind anybody to check what she is eating – this is a particular plus from us! The fact that she actively enjoys going in when she’s dropped off, and clearly has such a good day that she comes home happy says everything! Thank you!

February 21, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy started at Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd when he was 18 months old. The staff couldn’t do enough to help his transition and they took it as slow as he needed them to, whilst giving lots of support. As a parent, the last thing you want to do is have 2 half day visits then leave your child upset in an unfamiliar place and so the settling-in period here is amazing. We have review meetings with his Key Worker where she feeds back with photographs and updates on key developments in him, so valuable to see what he’s been up to and to hear how he’s progressing. It also comes in a nice folder so it’s something we can keep. The environment isn’t as modern as some nurseries as it’s not purpose built but the set up seems fab and the outside space is amazing. We’re really pleased we chose Childsplay for our son and already got our second on the list.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amAn outstanding nursery. My little boy absolutely loves it here. You can see a difference in him every day, and I think the nursery plays a large part in this, helping him develop new skills and interests.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot speak highly enough of Childsplay Claremont Nursery. We chose our nursery carefully and couldn’t be happier. Our daughter broke her leg and they could not have been more supportive. We need not have worried about her losing crucial development time as the staff designed a supportive individual programme for her. The staff are also wonderful and caring and our daughter loves going. Truly brilliant.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative has provided our little girl with the best care possible. They are so supportive in their development of children and our daughter skips into nursery each day. We feel so confident that each day she will have fun, learn and interact with peers.

April 6, 2023 at 12:00 amChildsplay Claremont Nursery is the most wonderful place for a young child. The staff there go above and beyond in creating an inspiring, warm, creative and fun environment where children feel happy, safe and confident.
My daughter started just before her first birthday and will shortly be moving just before she turns 2, as we are relocating to a different part of the UK. I can honestly say, having had to visit lots of nurseries in a different area, that Childsplay really has something special.
The staff make you feel welcome, the outdoor space is second to none and the small touches like themed decorations (seasonal and for specific celebrations) and family photos on the walls make it all feel magical.
We are so sad to have to leave Childsplay behind because we know how much our daughter loves it there but we also feel confident she will adapt well to a new nursery, thanks to the development she has experienced, with huge thanks to the wonderful team at Childsplay.

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amAn absolutely wonderful nursery. We have been so pleased with our experience here. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, providing a fantastic environment for the children and the right amount of reassurance for the parents. All very professional but in an approachable and genuine way. Honestly, couldn’t be happier with Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative.

August 16, 2023 at 12:00 amAfter having had the best of experiences with all units at Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative for our first child, we have signed up our second child full time as well. The environment is clearly extremely supportive and we can already see the impact the setting has on our son’s development. Staff continuously go above and beyond, are extremely well trained, reliable and easy to communicate with. It is also evident that the nursery is run as a cooperative, with a key focus on getting families to contribute ideas and taking part in decision-making processes. One aspect that we started to value more and more over the years is the quality of the food – cooked on site by an exceptional team in the kitchen. The food plan is diverse, staff are extremely accommodating when it comes to special diets and we can always be sure that our children come home having had a balanced diet. Even the fussiest eater has “a little bit to try” of everything.
