My baby loves going to Little Pioneers. She is looked after really well, parents are kept informed of everything through the ParentZone App. The food choices are great, she loves the food they make. Her carer Freya is amazing, is always smiling and an asset to the little Pioneers team. My baby gets ready in the morning excitedly to go to nursery which shows how much she enjoys it! Highly recommend little Pioneers

The opening of the new Little Pioneers Nursery is most certainly worth the wait! A 5-star review from us! Our little one, just a few weeks in, is starting to settle really well, and that is firstly credit to the amazing team and secondly the nursery itself. As parents, we appreciate the careful thought and time that has gone into setting up the nursery, a buggy shed, parents' room, brightly coloured and spacious air-conditioned rooms with a sensory overload, and a huge garden with many play areas that can be used all year round. The staff are fab, and during the settle-in sessions took the time to really understand our little one and what would help the journey from home to nursery. The app updates and communication are also 5-star, we love keeping on top of progress. Thank you to the team!!

We have been with the nursery since July 2023. My experience with them has been very positive till now. They take care of my little one with a lot of love. My daughter is happy to go to the nursery and goes to her key person very easily. I am very happy to see them being so considerate of any queries and comments we have. All n all a very good experience.

Absolutely fantastic! In the few short weeks my little one has been going he has excelled. Hes more open to trying new things, and always has good things to say when he comes home. There's an app the nursery uses to keep you informed on how they're doing what they've eaten etc. The nursery itself is incredible, there's so much to expand their knowledge, learn and play with. And the staff are brilliant with building relationships with little ones, so welcoming and friendly, I would 100% recommend this nursery.

I can’t praise Little Pioneers enough for the great care they give to my daughters. They started at 9 months old and have really thrived. Special thanks must go to Stella and Sarah for their support.
