  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead, Maidenhead
At Little Pioneers Maidenhead Nursery there are four rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: two rooms for the 0- 2 year olds, one room for the 2 to 3 year olds and one room for the 3 to 5 year olds.

They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making small 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 making a difference in the world.

They are big on happy children and that's why the 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.

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

The nursery has two large, secure, private garden areas. There is a play house and a variety of outdoor equipment including bats, balls, bikes and a climbing frame with a slide and a tunnel. The children also have an allotment area where they learn how to take care of plants, herbs, vegetables and flowers and enjoy watching them grow.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both of my children have attended this nursery since 11 months of age. They have always enjoyed their time there and as parents, we have felt that our children are safe and well cared for. This nursery is purpose built, with rooms all on one level and with two gardens! This gives it an advantage over
other nurseries that are often in converted houses. Children can play outside all day long, rather than having timed slots as other nurseries do. The furniture and toys are all quite new and clean. In the past, I might have criticised them for using too many 'bank staff' and not enough permanent staff, but this is no longer an issue. They listened to feedback and acted on it. I'm very happy to recommend to others.

Our daughter has absolutely loved her experience at The Co-op, and this is testament to the efforts of the employees and the environment they have created for the children. I cannot recommend the nursery enough, it has been one of the best choices we have made with regard to our daughter's development
and happiness.

Love this nursery, both my son and daughter have been here. Staff are friendly and super caring. The rooms are bright and there is always lots to do, the main thing though is my children have always wanted to go and are extremely happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.859 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 4.915 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead is based on 15 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.915

  • 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.
