Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury and their children love playing outside in their science garden, complete with a bug house, compost bins and space for growing plants and veg (don't worry, they'll clean them up before it's time for home!).

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They also have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children, such as encouraging them to express their feelings and making a difference in the world.

They hold the Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible) in the prestigious Green Flag Eco-schools programme which is an internationally recognised award where children lead the way in making a difference to the environment.

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

They have three bright and spacious rooms; one room for younger children up to two-years-old, one room for two to three-year-olds and a final room for more active three to five-year-olds. All rooms have direct access to the outdoors allowing children to freely move between their rooms and the garden whenever they wish.

My daughter started in January 2025, staff have made us feel welcomed and she's settled in really quickly. She loves going and has learnt so much while there. Regular updates on how she's getting on and her eating.

My child has been going to the nursery for over a year how and I can't recommend it enough! The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children. My child has flourished since starting here, showing great enthusiasm for the activities offered.
The
curriculum is well-structured, focusing on both educational and social development. I love how they incorporate play-based learning, which keeps the little ones engaged and excited to learn. The facilities are clean and safe, with plenty of space for outdoor play, which is essential for young children.
Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates on my child's progress and activities. It's reassuring to know that my child is in such capable hands. Overall, this nursery's has exceeded my expectations, and I feel confident that my child is receiving the best possible care and education.

My daughter has settled in so well to this nursery she joined the baby room in January 2024 at 5 months old and she has come on so much. Her key person has made me feel so welcome and the management is amazing, always there when you need them. Would recommend this nursery 100%.

My child enjoys attending nursery and has a good relationship with the staff. My child has good friendship groups and has lots of opportunities to develop her language skills. My child has a wide range of experiences to develop her fine motor skills. The staff at the nursery are kind, and caring and

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

I removed my son from this nursery last summer after receiving advice from another parent who did the same. Sorry to say the reviews and outdated Ofsted report are not an accurate representation of this nursery anymore. My son's development severely declined at this nursery and his behaviour got worse.
As a mum sometimes you just know something's not right with the setting.
The staff are overworked and flooded with paperwork and many have jumped ship.
The difference in my son's behaviour and development is incredible since he moved to another nursery, in fact, the negative referral for additional support written by Co-op nursery was disputed by his new nursery and then thrown by the council's SenCo officer. My son is thriving now, but with zero thanks to Co-op. They didn't even bother to respond to my final email giving notice and listing all the issues which proved they only cared about the money and never about my son.

Couldn’t ask for more from a nursery setting and the staff are amazing too.
Children always have a range of activities to do throughout the day and good food choices also.
Would recommend to other parents.

Absolutely amazing nursery! My child started in January and they have helped him settle in well and he has learnt so much from playing with others to loads of new words. The staff are very friendly and approachable and if you have any questions or concerns at all then I know I can always ring in or
ask at pick up / collection. They even have a parents forum which has allowed me to be more involved and to have a say on the nursery.

My daughter is currently attending this nursery and so has my son in the past, this nursery is outstanding and meets every need of my child. The staff are such caring, loving and kind people who are always smiling and always ask us how we are doing. My daughter has settled in that nursery really well
and it's like a second home to her. Overall she is doing great in her development and the staff are always ready to help and give advice. We absolutely love the nursery and staff they do an amazing job.

This nursery has always gone above and beyond to ensure my child feels safe and happy and ensure that I, as a parent, feel confident that he is enjoying himself and well looked after. Staff are friendly, activities are tailored to my child's interests, there are lots of updates throughout the day via
the app and the children are provided with healthy and nutritious food. Assessments and observations are uploaded so I can see my child's progress and staff give detailed feedback at pick-up time each day. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Brilliant learning experience for my child, we can see how he’s come on in his development and has made lots of friends who he’s excited to see - children and staff.
Staff are always happy and friendly - always welcoming my son when he comes asking for any needed information and always gives great
feedback on how’s he’s been and what he’s been up to.

Had both my children attend this nursery over the nine years. I’ve never had any problems. My youngest (2-year-old) was very anxious about leaving me for the first time so had a few unsettled days there but the staff were so loving and understanding and he’s settled in lovely. Both my children have
had positive experiences attending this nursery. And I also have a very good relationship with all staff members which makes me feel more at ease. 10/10! Would definitely recommend to all parents looking for a loving place for their children to go.

I am a returning customer as the care for my previous child was exemplary and he even said that he approved for his younger sister to attend the setting. I am overwhelmed by the high standards the nursery practitioners hold upon themselves in addition to the leadership expectations of them.
My current,
attending child is 18-months and loves going. She has made very strong bonds with her key practitioners and shouts "yas" as we pull up at the setting. Seeing my child happy and well safeguarded is all I ask for and this setting fully delivers for my expectations and needs.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.708)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.708) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.708 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.708

  • 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 Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is based on 13 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
