February 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy grandson has attended the nursery from the age of 9 months, he is currently in the 3-5 year room. I wanted to say how much he enjoys nursery and I’m sure it has helped him socialise with other children and become independent. The staff are always very helpful and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a nursery go to Walcot.

February 22, 2021 at 12:00 amCouldn’t be happier with our choice of childcare. Our daughter has been at the nursery since Sept 2019 and has grown in all characteristics. She loves nursery days seeing her friends and learning every day interacting with other children, especially during these tough times. The nursery is very good at making sure the safety of the staff and children is their number one priority. They also provide detailed logs of what they have done each day and engage regularly with the parents with regular meetings on the progress of the children. We couldn’t fault the staff or nursery with peace of mind leaving our daughter in safe hands each day.

February 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys attending the nursery and is always coming home telling me about his day and all the friends he has been playing with. The nursery offers healthy, nutritious food, and my son always eats well at the nursery. The app is really useful, as it helps keep me up to date with everything that is going on, and I get to see what my son has been learning and how well he is developing. The nursery has really helped my son grow in confidence and develop socially.

April 20, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter currently attends Co-op Childcare Walcot in the baby room. All the staff looking after her are amazing and are always so accommodating. The whole nursery has been amazing in supporting her to settle in during the pandemic. She found nursery difficult at first, having spent so much time in lockdown and not being around many people, however with the fantastic support from the nursery she now loves nursery and always enjoys herself. I love receiving regular updates and daily pictures of what she has been up to and the use of the app is amazing! Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amWe moved to Swindon in January 2021 and when we asked where we should send our daughter the response was astounding, everyone said Co-Op Walcot. They were not wrong. Our daughter had never been to a nursery, pre-school, childminder setting and was so nervous and scared on her first day, the staff had to peel her off me. We are now on week 3 and she has been bouncing in for the last 2 weeks with no problems! The staff are fantastic, so friendly and I feel very confident in the care they are providing our daughter. I love the app which tells us what our daughter has eaten, been doing during the day and how we can help her learning at home. I cannot praise this nursery enough and will definitely be sending our youngest daughter when the time comes.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started in March and I was very anxious about him starting due to him being born during the pandemic and not having been around others. I can absolutely say that I didn’t need to be nervous at all, the nursery have been amazing and he’s settled really well. The staff have gone over and above to support his transition into nursery and myself and my wife are happy with the progress he’s made.

May 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to the Co-op Childcare Walcot for a year and a half now. Our overall experience as parents has been brilliant. The whole process from settling in sessions to constant and regular updates on the progress of the child and regular key person one on one sessions have been designed and organized so well; they take care of every concern a parent has for their child’s care. Everyone at the nursery shows a very warm and caring interest in the child’s progress which is a big assurance. The ambience is fun-filled with learning through play and activities.
Overall, I feel amazing that I made the right choice for my child. I do not genuinely believe there can be any better nursery in Swindon.

June 21, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is what we been looking for in a nursery! My daughter has a big problem with eating and socializing. Been for few weeks and can see so much improvement in her. They are really good and have a personal approach to every child as they all different. They are always happy to provide me with all information what happens on the day at nursery and been very good communication since. I would totally recommend them to any parent with a child a little bit shy like mine.

June 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to the nursery even on a weekend or bank holiday.
We have seen a great improvement in him. Staff are great and always willing to help.
Would love to send my two sons here in the future.

August 16, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to this nursery since he was 2 years old, he’s now leaving in September to start school, and the time that he has been there the nursery staff have been absolutely amazing with him, I can’t give them enough credit with how good they are with my son. He’s been diagnosed with autism and the staff have helped him so much with everything, I’m gutted he will be leaving soon. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Absolutely amazing.

June 8, 2022 at 12:00 amI am more than happy with the care that my son gets at Co-op Childcare Walcot Day Nursery. The staff are friendly and welcoming from all of the rooms and always greet us in the morning by saying hello. They have been adaptable around my child’s needs, especially when he can become overwhelmed with noise, and make sure he is comfortable and happy. He enjoys going and has been there since he was a year old so has experienced being in all of the rooms on a full-time basis, allowing him to build strong and meaningful relationships with the staff and other children. I have chosen not to move my son to a more local nursery to home as he is familiar with his environment and I am happy with the service provided. I would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents and will be sad to leave when my son is ready to move on to school. Thank you for everything you do, you are amazing!

June 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are wonderful at Co-op Childcare Walcot. My child loves the activities and the staff really know him well. It’s great to hear about the variety of activities he has access to during the day. What makes it really special is when his key workers create activities which are linked to his interests. He has grown in confidence since September and is beginning to develop social skills (this was such a worry for me since he was a lockdown baby). I can’t thank the nursery enough for everything they do for my child.

June 15, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been attending pre-school for 9 months now and we’re absolutely thrilled with every aspect of his experience. All the staff have been incredibly welcoming, kind and supportive with making him feel comfortable and at home. It’s great to see the very detailed updates on his progress via observations in the app and there’s always an informative hand-over at the end of the day to keep us in the loop. Our son struggled a little with transitioning into childcare, but with support from the wonderful staff here we’ve seen his confidence come on in leaps and bounds. He now chats animatedly about his friends at pre-school and always has loads to say about his day. I can’t recommend Co-op Walcot enough!

July 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy Son has been to 3 nurseries before this one, they were all great but Co-op Childcare Walcot has been the best experience for us! My son loves going to nursery and speaks to us about staff and his daily activities. The one thing I find very unique about this nursery is that I feel I am dropping my little one off to a friend or family rather than daytime childcare. The amount of genuine care and nurturing he receives from staff is impressive! It also reflects on his behaviour when he shows tender love and care towards other children and other people. My son had to start wearing glasses at 3 years, the nursery was very supportive with this transition, prepared his friends to accept his new look and cared for his eyes as much as I would do. If I pop in to nursery to pick him up any time of the day he’s clean, glasses wiped, happy, fed, changed and playing. I cannot thank the team enough and no words can describe my gratitude to every staff member in this nursery.

July 4, 2022 at 12:00 amFantastic team. The nursery teachers are very welcoming and easy to talk to. My son loves going to nursery and talks about nursery all the time. My son has problems with his speech and they have been amazing with supporting our son and he is now communicating much clearer. I would highly recommend the Co-op Childcare Walcot to anyone in the area.

August 30, 2022 at 12:00 amToday was a very sad day as my two children had their last day at Co-op Walcot Nursery. They both started their nursery journey as little babies and now are ready for school. They have had a great 3 and a half years. One of the hardest things as a new mother was handing my babies over to someone else when I had to go back to work part time. The staff were great though and I soon knew that they were in great hands at a lovely place. I feel like we have just said goodbye to our second family! All the staff know my children and greet them with smiles every day. They have helped them in many developmental areas including using cutlery, toilet training, riding a bike, social skills, writing, counting, singing, growing veg etc. The pre school have done very well in preparing them for school. I feel that being around other children their age has done them the world of good. They made great relationships with their key workers and enjoyed every day especially in all the great outdoor space.

September 7, 2022 at 12:00 amI have just dropped my daughter off for her final session at Walcot Co-op Childcare Day Nursery having been attending there since she was 11 months old. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience she has had whilst being there. The staff are friendly, caring, kind and fun and have supported my daughter with her physical skills which she struggled with slightly and all other aspects of her development. She enjoys telling me of all the fun things they have done and the nice food she has eaten (often with seconds!). The staff managed so well to keep a calm and welcoming environment even with all of the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic and this was a great support system to us during that difficult time. The communication is great, both face to face, via the app and in the regular keyworker feedback sessions and I feel like all of the staff know my daughter well and care for her. I would highly recommend this setting and thank all the team there for a great experience.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery, all friendly helpful staff. My little boy loves going to nursery and always comes out of nursery happy. Telling me what he had been up to. Always has lots of fun and learning.
Lots of things are always set out for them to do.

April 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMonth after month the staff at Walcot Nursery have provided support, kindness and teachable moments to our child and us as first-time parents. Providing us with insightful feedback and keeping us up to date on changes in sleep patterns, appetite, behaviour and education. Our child loves going to nursery and we feel confident, comfortable and reassured leaving her with the wonderful team.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amAll four of my children have attended this nursery over the last twelve years and I honestly would not want them to go anywhere else. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Communication is always brilliant and I’m always kept up to date with any concerns, accidents or illness during the days my children are in. Staff are always happy to answer any questions I have. The nursery itself is always clean and tidy, and the children have lots of equipment, toys and open space to play. My children particularly like the outside space and playing in the garden. I always recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for childcare.
