At Little Pioneers Sutton they love hands-on, interactive play as its perfect for encouraging learning and development at every age level. They love to learn about baking from their onsite chef and get moving during their P.E. lessons.

They are big on happy children which is why they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world. They are also big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.

They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to make their own decisions to taking care of the world.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress.

Little Pioneers Sutton Nursery has 5 home rooms split over two floors into the following age groups: on the ground floor there is one room for 3 months – 1 year olds and one room for 1-2 year olds, with access to their bathroom and nappy changing area and milk kitchen. There are three further rooms on the first floor: one small room for the 18 months to 2 year olds (depending on their development), one room for the 2-3 year olds and one room for the 3-5 year olds, all with access to their own bathrooms.

Since my son joined the nursery back in 2023 he has built such strong relationships with the staff and the children. All the staff have such a kind and caring attitude towards the children and the parents nothing is to much trouble for them.
My son loves the activity that the nursery plans and enjoys
taking part in the different celebrations that are celebrated throughout the year.

My son has been attending since January of last year. I was so concerned after bad experiences with the first nursery he attended but Little Pioneers have been amazing.
They have helped him come out of his shell so much. He is so confident now and it's helped by all the hard work they stand there
put in.
My daughter joined in September last year also and the same thing.
Can not fault the nursery and all there amazing staff.
All the staff are easy to talk, friendly, helpful and extremely kind.

My daughter started this nursery back in July and I am so pleased with the progress she has made there in this time.
Within a few weeks, she was completely settled, and I felt at ease leaving her.
The staff are wonderful, very friendly and professional, and my daughter is happy to go with any one
of them, although she has also got a lovely key worker too.
When I pick her up, she is always happy and playing. I also feel like she is learning and developing key skills that will help prepare her for preschool and beyond.
They are always doing fun activities and messy play which I wouldn't usually think to do at home.
Huge thank you to all the staff for taking good care of my baby.

My son started with Little Pioneer's Nursery last year. When he first started I was nervous that he would not settle in well, as he was shy and anxious. I can say I have seen a huge improvement in his confidence, he would always hide behind me if anyone approached him. Since joining Nursery he now says
'morning' to everyone he encounters, he also now approaches other children and interacts with them.
I always feel at ease leaving my child at this nursery as the staff are very welcoming, reassuring and professional.
The staff are amazing at what they do and I could not thank them enough for their hard work. They make the nursery feel more like a home with such a warming approach.
Once finishing nursery my son is already excited to go there again which is very reassuring.
I'd choose this nursery in every life time.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery and all the staff.
Our little boy recently graduated from preschool after being at Little Pioneers since he was 18 months.
All the rooms are clean, meals well well-cooked, healthy, and varied. Child care and welfare is a high priority, so I know he was well
looked after. Staff would provide additional updates through the day if he wasn't himself.
So happy that my little girl is also there. The staff helped settle her into the baby room. She now sleeps better at home thanks to their help with daytime naps.
It feels like you are leaving the kids with family. They are so welcoming and we have never regretted sending our kids there. And wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

I couldn’t be happier and pleased with Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school. My daughter's experience has been one of happiness and growth. She is a very anxious child and doesn’t get to attend very much, but the staff have always been so welcoming, patient and supportive. They also do their best to
help and aid in any session adjustments you need for emergencies etc.
I was also continuously impressed by their safety and protection methods. If another family member needed to collect my daughter, even with sending a picture of them they would also require a password. This may be standard practice, but it was always enforced and I felt reassured that she was always safe. A few weeks ago pre-school had their graduation and the nursery put on a lovely ceremony, magician/DJ/ music and party for them. It was a beautiful, almost end, to my daughter’s journey here. If you are looking for a great, stimulating, safe nursery then I would highly recommend Little Pioneers.

I really loved this nursery when I first viewed it. Rooms are spacious and well set up and the garden is a really lovely space. My eldest son was at nursery from the age of 10 months through to Pre-School and now my youngest has started in January in the baby room. My eldest was so happy there and Pre-School
was so fantastic for preparing him for Reception. Our youngest has settled really well and doesn’t even look back at us now when we drop him off! He seems really happy there, sleeps well and eats everything. I love the fun activities they set up for them to do (and that I don’t have to clear up any of the mess!) and that they spend as much time as possible playing outside in the garden. The app keeps me updated with everything and the staff are just lovely and so accommodating. Highly recommend!

My little one has recently settled into Little Pioneers Sutton and it’s safe to say, she wasn’t best pleased in the first few months. The staff have constantly kept me updated on her progress via the Parent zone app and in person each day. She no longer cries at drop off and pick up, she walks into
class each morning to her key worker (and other members is staff) and enjoys playing with her peers. She is a happier child who is more independent as a result of the exciting activities she gets to engage in at nursery. Thank you Sutton Nursery staff for helping my little one feel comfortable and enjoy the time she has away from her Mummy and Daddy!

My Son has attended the nursery since he was 10 months old and sadly, soon he will be leaving to go school this September.
My Son has a great relationship with all members of staff but a closer bond with his key workers. The staff communicate via the app and handovers how his day has been and will
send updates on what he gets up to during the day.
My Son is a fussy eater and the staff have supported me with ways to help us improve this at the nursery and home, the menu is well balanced and offers a wide selection of meals.
The activities they provide on a daily basis are stimulating and age-appropriate, he loves Phonics at the moment especially. I truly believe they have a brilliant understanding of my sons development due to the detailed observation and the same language that he uses. They use the outdoor space a lot during the day and they are currently supporting him to learn how to ride his bike. I love collecting him at the end of the day to tell me what he has been up to.

I have 2 girls that have been attending this nursery since the age of 1. Great communication from the staff to keep us updated with what’s going on and share what the girls have been up to. Can see them progressing which the staff always support especially with key developments in their life. Thank

My son has been attending the nursery as a baby and toddler now for almost a year. We have been quite happy with the care he has received. Even as a baby, the staff organised lots of activities such as painting and drawing, so they went above and beyond in this regard. Sleep has also been good, as well
as food. Even during periods when we would not eat much at home he ate everything at nursery. Rooms are quite large compared to other nurseries, so that's another plus, as I know toddlers love to run around. They garden is also lovely and they usually spend some time outside every day.

Our little one started at Little Pioneers when she was 9 months old and I can only highly recommend this nursery. It's just such a wonderful place for my little one to start her nursery experience. The staff are very attentive, genuinely love their work and curious about getting to know new children
and their parents. They constantly look for new activities and adventures for my little one and provide wonderful updates via the nursery parent app throughout the day (including photos!). Having compared experience with other parents, I know this is a very special nursery and I'm so happy I never have to worry about my little one's wellbeing. Thank you so much to all my little one's key persons!

Despite settling our 3 year old mid-pandemic, the team have worked hard to develop a relationship and let us know what our little boy is up to every day. Needless to say our son loves all the staff and the nursery, especially the garden.
Obviously currently limited in terms of activities and outings
due to restrictions. Would highly recommend.

Our child has been at Little Pioneers for nearly two years since she was one year old. We only have positive things to say about it. The team are all very friendly and knowledgeable and keep us reassured of our child’s development and wellbeing whilst she’s with them. They have also been very accommodating
when we have needed to change days, or on the odd occasion, when we have been late due to cancelled trains etc. Would recommend to anyone wanting a friendly yet professional place for their child.

My daughter took her time to settle but has enjoyed a lot since. She was 13 months old when she started going and has made some very good friends. Staff have been very supportive with potty training even early on at 19 months when I started at home. Staff always cater for cultural needs and specifications.
They always have yoga, dance and there are new activities to entertain kids. Staff look after children here like their own children. Thanks so much for being so kind to my daughter and help her develop into a fun toddler from a baby.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.415)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.415) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.582 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.682

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
