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.

My son has been here since January and he absolutely loves it. All the girls are lovely! Very professional and always very nice when you drop off or pick up your child. I love that they tell you about the day they've had while there, my son always comes out happy. I will be sending my youngest son there
when he's old enough! Brilliant nursery!

Lovely nursery and great staff. Gives regular reports and suggestions to help with child development based on individual needs. Also willing to discuss and help with child development that, as a parent, I have. My child loves attending and has really come a long way.

I have referred several family and friends to the nursery. Every staff member from the nursery manager, room leaders, cooks and more are all so friendly and professional. I can not fault a single element of this nursery and will be very sad when my daughter leaves, but can be sure my next child will
be going here too.
My daughter adores all the staff and is thriving in this nursery I could not imagine her being this happy anywhere else.

Our son joined the nursery in September 2020. I'm convinced that we've done the best choice for our son, he is happy to go to the nursery, he learnt many things. We are very grateful for everything all staff do and especially we are very pleased on the way they keep us updated.

I can surely recommend Little Pioneers nursery. My son is attending here since he was 10 months and he started the pre-school last year. He enjoys going to the nursery every day and has lots of friends there. I’m happy with the care he received so far and I can see much improvement in his general development.
I think he has got good support to play and learn. When I pick him up, he often talks about what he was doing and how much fun he had during the day. This nursery is definitely a good choice.

My son started at this nursery aged 10 months, and my daughter is currently in the pre-school. They both settled in extremely quickly and are very happy there. The staff are very friendly and approachable and both my children have great relationships with the staff in their rooms. I have never had any
issues with this nursery and, especially during the pandemic where childrens activities are so limited, I am very grateful that the staff make every day so fun and stimulating for the children. There is a chef making fresh meals every day so the children are also getting a healthy and varied selection of food. The nursery are great at keeping parents informed, via email or the app or regular parents evenings. Thank you to all the staff for looking after the children so well, and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Little Pioneers Nursery! She likes to spend time with kids, she likes the nursery staff and want her key worker to visit our house during the weekend as she misses her. She has changed so much since she started going there - become more open, confident, friendly,
she is not as shy as she was before. We are absolutely blessed to see our daughter being happy and making friend at the nursery. The staff are very helpful, providing fair feedback about child’s development and learning journey. Thanks to everyone for making this place so enjoyable for kids.

I would really recommend this nursery, my son has been going since June time, it was obviously a tough decision after everything happening but the nursery made us feel safe in the current time and they are so helpful and will answer any questions you have! Our son has flourished going here as he was
obviously very shy after not being with children since late February! But all the staff made him feel so welcome and encouraged, I am so pleased we decided to send him here and after him not always wanting to go to childcare before starting at this nursery, he has not had any days (so far) where he has not been overly excited to go,which as a parent makes you feel much happier sending them off for the day!

Both my son and daughter went to the nursery, my son was in the room for the youngest children and my daughter for pre-schoolers. Both seemed to be very happy at the nursery, they had a lot of space to move around in, which you don't always find and considering the nursery is in the centre of town they'd
done a good job in turning the garden into an attractive place to play. They were good at keeping in touch and sharing the latest updates.

Little Pioneers, Sutton is a wonderful nursery. All of the staff are so warm, welcoming and friendly. It's hard to leave your child with complete strangers initially, but it didn't take long for it to feel like leaving my son with extended family. My son also learnt to do the lunch nap at nursery, something
that hadn't seemed possible before. Thank you for making our time at nursery so enjoyable. We will miss you all.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 2-years-old and she absolutely loves it. Even on the weekends, she is asking if "pre-school is open today" which I know says a lot about the staff and the surroundings. The whole team has been so lovely throughout, friendly, helpful and so caring.
I am really grateful to the whole team for making her stay so enjoyable and exciting. I know she will miss it so much when she starts school in September, just hope it's not too bad a transition.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son went to this nursery for a year. We chose it because of its location from the train station and because it opens until 6.30 pm.
The nursery feels spacious with a lot of activities for children. The management is very good, from booking viewings, registering, day-to-day inquiries, until my son's
graduation to the big school. The staff are friendly and very attentive. They are very creative in introducing activities that suit my son's personal needs. They also go the extra mile to organise parents' evenings and parties. In addition, they care about the parents' input and suggestions. I always know what my son's up to for the day through the daily handover as well as from the app. It helps to have a conversation about his day once we're back home and to see him grow over time.
My son had a great time at this nursery, had a lot of friends, and was always looking forward to going to nursery in the morning and coming home happy at night.

Lovely nursery. My daughter has attended since she was 2 and has now moved into the pre school room. Transition of rooms has been very good each time.
I do find certain staff members much better than others which I feel could be improved on.
I love the fact all food is made on site.
I am also
impressed with the staff’s attention to adult and child ratios as I often hear them talking about it on drop off.
My daughter enjoys her time at this nursery and has come along great.

I have two grandchildren who are attending Little Pioneers at the moment. I have found the management team and staff all extremely friendly and helpful. If I collect my grandchildren for my daughters they always take the time to explain what they have been doing during the day. My grandchildren often
come out with lots of artwork which they have been doing and it is really nice to see some of it on display in the rooms. I would definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends as I feel that the staff are really caring and look after the children well.

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.
