The childcare in Madley Park is second to none: my son have been attending the Coop Childcare since the age of 3 months, and every key worker has been a mile stone to the development of my son. Currently, Judith is caring for him and we could not have had a better "guardian angel". My son is happy, truly happy, and his days are filled with activities close to nature, handling all sort of sensory materials and the key workers are re-inventing amazing tasks to help children develop more awareness about the world they live in. It is a creative place that keep parents close to the blossoming of their children. Relentless work for them, still they smile and keep you updated on every detail of your child's journey and day to day activities. Well done to all of them, they should be celebrated everyday! Merci pour tout.

I would strongly recommend this nursery. The staff are friendly and actually care about my child and his development. The updates we receive throughout the day make you feel in touch and there are plenty of events throughout the year for the kids!
