  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne
Co-op Childcare Newburn Nursery is a purpose-built nursery that has been designed to a high standard taking the needs of the children into account. There are three main rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: six weeks to 18 months, 18 months - two-years-old and two to five-year-olds.

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values to children from encouraging them to be independent to expressing their feelings.

They are big on happy children and they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on taking care of each other and the world. They hold the Green Flag Status Award, an internationally recognised award in a programme that sees children lead the world in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery from photos of their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

Co-op Childcare Newburn have a sensory room which is a beautiful indoor garden that includes forest music and sensory materials that your child can use as tools for imaginative play.

Can't recommend this nursery enough. All 3 of my children have attended this nursery. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and they make my son's time there so enjoyable. I have seen first hand how the nursery has developed over the years and they definitely deserve to be acknowledged.

As an Uncle of a child who attends the nursery, I can honestly say what a fantastic place it is. From the lovely warm welcome you get from all of the staff and seeing the children flourish under their care is great. The day to day activities and the extras like weekend fayres etc is awesome! My nephew
absolutely loves the place and I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Excellent childcare and always put the children first. Very caring staff, my great nephew has had a great time here. He has developed into a lovely little boy and learned throughout his time at nursery. Highly recommended.

I would totally recommend this nursery. All staff do their very best to make parents feel at ease when leaving your child. They facilitate stay and play days free of charge also induction days. This really helps as you are able to watch your child around the carers and you get a real feel of the structure
of their day. All the girls ensure you are informed straight away if your child is poorly/hurt. The girls look after the children as if they are their own. This is great.

I believe this nursery is very good, my granddaughter always comes home learning something new. Be it a new song, nursery rhymes or activities to play together.
She loves all the staff, she knows all their names and always shouts 'Bye girls' when I pick her up to come home.

My daughter has now been in the nursery for five months and she absolutely loves it. The level of care offered by all the staff is excellent and she has come on a long way in these few months as a result of this. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent without hesitation.

The nursery experience has been very positive for my son. The staff are all friendly and helpful and take my crying child with a smile in the morning. His menu palette has really improved thanks to nursery as well as the advancement of his toilet raining. The facilities are fantastic and he never wants
to leave.

My little boy has been going to the nursery for over a year now. He has moved from the baby room, to the 18-24 month room and is now in the older room. I can't fault the staff at all. They are all lovely and caring and make me feel that my little boy is safe and well looked after. Sometimes he crys
when I leave him and I usually ring and check on him later in the day, the staff are always very kind and reassuring when I do ring. They do fab activities and the rooms in their nursery are brilliant with lots of activities. Food choices are always healthy and lots of choice. I will always recommend the nursery to friend and family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.660)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.660) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.966 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.694

  • 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.
