Our daughter has gone from strength to strength at Little Pioneers Walsall Wood. They have supported her development from a timid one-year-old through to a confident, chatty nearly three-year-old. Every step of the way we have been kept informed and told how we can work together with the nursery. We can’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic and the facilities are top notch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had to remove by daughter from this nursery when I realised how neglectful and lazy the staff were, they couldn’t even be bothered to give my daughter toilet roll and just left her for about 10 minutes by herself, luckily I was there to pick her up and I found her in the toilets where she was distressed. There are other reasons why I wasn’t impressed with this nursery like the food, they don’t give the kids any of the meals they tell you they are going to just mainly cheap tinned stuff every time I would collect my daughter she would be starving. Another reason was when my daughter had a temperature at the nursery once and they thought she had covid they made her extremely anxious over it and I could tell how scared she was when I came to pick her up. Also some of the staff members are rude. Wouldn’t recommend sending your child there one bit.
