At Little Pioneers Rose Hill they love to get parents involved and so they arrange special days throughout the year just for parents and families. Like an Easter egg hunt, Sports day, Gardening Day and Grandparents' Tea.

They have an app, ParentZone, which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress. They are big om 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 are big on happy children and 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 have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent and taking care of the world.

Little Pioneers Rose Hill Nursery makes the most of a versatile four-playroom interior in order to see early years education thrive. There is a large, secure outdoor garden with a separate section for babies, including a large sandpit and a covered soft area. Children are also able to enjoy facilities including an allotment area where they learn how to take care of plants; fruit, vegetables and flowers and enjoy watching them grow.

We've been very impressed with the Little Pioneers nursery, and our child loves going there. The staff are fantastic - always full of energy and coming up with new activities for the children to do. They're also extremely responsive and helpful whenever we have questions or ask for help with addressing
difficulties our child is having. What really makes the difference at this nursery is the management: The manager and team do a great job of creating a positive and welcoming environment, they're always happy to talk, and they genuinely listen to feedback.
This is actually the third nursery our child has attended (because of house moves), and we did not always feel so positive about the others. So this is real praise!

We have had a lovely experience with Rose Hill Little Pioneers for all 3 of our children. Despite a period of change, we have an amazing, dynamic, intuitive management team, sensitive and caring staff, and key person relationships with our children that have made a lasting impact on their wellbeing
and ability to connect with and befriend adults. We are strongly in favour of the emphasis on outdoor play, and are impressed with the attention taken to support them towards their learning milestones in fun and creative ways.

Very happy with the nursery. They treat my baby with love and care. She loves her key person, which is amazing! I still think that we should not be charged extra for food (£5/a day) if baby is absent / on planned leave. This should be finally considered by the management.

My three year old joined this nursery last April and has really blossomed in 10 months. She has formed close bonds with staff and enjoys her four days a week there. The level of care is excellent, very attentive staff who give individual feedback on your child's day as well as providing updates via
the app. I feel the staff in my daughter's room have got to know her so well and I appreciate the updates on her developmental milestones and how to encourage learning new skills at each stage. The food served is high quality too, I'm amazed at what she eats at nursery but won't at home! I recently gave some feedback to the manager about better representing diverse family structures and had it welcomed and my suggestions actioned. The leadership encourages feedback which is great. All in all, a happy place for a child to be and welcoming to parents too.

Wonderful staff, full of energy and really get to know the children well. My son joined when he turned 2 and the team were so caring in helping him to settle in. He loves his key worker, regularly talks about what's he's done, his teachers and his friends at nursery.
The food is healthy and varied
and they run lots of themed days to help children engage in exciting parts of the calendar.
The staff are also really supportive of learning and follow the child's interest and where they seem keen to develop.

Fantastic nursery, my daughter has a wonderful time here, enjoying lots of messy play, singing and going outdoors. The staff are great, they provide such a welcoming and nurturing environment - and the food goes down extremely well! They have really gone above and beyond in their potty training support.
We feel the nursery has been consistently good in supporting our daughter from when she joined as a 9 month old up to now (nearly 3!) and are confident this will continue throughout until she's ready for school.

My son attends the nursery for over a year now and he is always happy going there. He has a lovely bond with all the staff as well as children. They provide very good environment for both physical and mental development. The nursery is quite expensive, but it is definitely worth it as nothing is more
important than development, health and happiness of a child.

Our little one has attended rose hill nursery for a year now, and previously big brother attended too. Staff are amazing and very enthusiastic and engaged, you can tell the really care about the children. There's a great community feeling, an active parents messaging group, parents rep meetings, great
opportunities to get involved like the summer fete and science week. Couldn't be happier!

Little pioneers nursery is a brilliant establishment to bring my children to. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. They go above and beyond for their staff and children. Each class has their own groups but it's lovely to see members of staff help others classes. I have never had a bad
experience in the nursery. My children are always happy to attended and have created great bonds and relationships with other children. I feel welcomed every time entering the building.

The staff at Rose Hill are amazing. Our daughter is our first child and we were nervous about our first nursery experience - but the staff have made it so much easier than we feared! Even on days when our daughter has struggled, the staff have consistently shown kindness and understanding, and a readiness
to communicate with us.

Excellent nursery, friendly and caring staff. Feedback is good and the children are nurtured. My child is very happy at Little Pioneers. It is lovely that my child runs up to staff to cuddle them. She is learning new skills and developing beautifully. I trust the nursery and know they will work towards
her being school ready.

My daughter has been at the nursery for 6 months and absolutely loves it here. All of the team are incredible and we feel so comfortable leaving our child with them. We love that you drop off and collect in the child rooms rather than at the front door like many other nurseries. It's lovely to see how
happy all the children are.
Our child has allergies and the staff (especially the chef) have been very accommodating.
Our child is constantly coming home having learnt something new. We couldn't be happier choosing little pioneers.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.755 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.755

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is based on 24 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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
