  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield, Wolverhampton
Ofsted Rated Outstanding (March 2020).

Co-op Childcare Finchfield has a large, busy and modern nursery, complete with an outstanding team who are all committed to meeting your child's development and care needs. Your child will also love being able to take their nursery teddy bears home for the weekend to go on exciting adventures.

The nursery is Green Eco Schools accredited, a programme that sees children make little changes that deliver big environmental differences. They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They use 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children, from encouraging them to be independent to expressing their feelings.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps parents updated on how their little one is getting on at nursery with photos, assessments and even toilet training progress! They have a growing area for food which they also end up eating and have regular visits to a local care home.

Their local history comes to life at Finchfield as their children regularly go on trips to the park near the nursery and visit historic buildings there.

Our daughter has been at Co-op Childcare Finchfield since January 2022 (she started soon after her 1st birthday). The family atmosphere and attentive nature of the staff drew us to the nursery and we felt that this was the perfect environment for us. All of the staff that have had a hand in looking
after our daughter are genuinely caring and invested in her development. Our daughter loves attending nursery; we have seen her grow in confidence in a number of areas and this is directly attributable to the wonderful staff who are providing a stimulating, playful and nurturing environment. We are given a weekly update about what the children have been doing and a monthly report specifically related to our daughter and her development. There is a mix of play both inside and outside. Thank you to the wonderful team at Co-op Finchfield who have continued to provide care and kindness through varying challenges such as extreme heat and childhood illnesses. This a brilliant nursery.

My daughter has recently started attending Co-op Childcare Finchfield. We have had a lovely welcome, staff have given all relevant information on induction and are always happy to discuss any questions and concerns we, as parents, may have had. The staff in her room are lovely and we can see our daughter
has settled in well, she's happy and very content. I love the regular updates we get on the app, helps give us reassurance. Verbal feedback given at the end of the day is also good. In terms of learning, already we can see a difference in her communication which is coming on great. There's a variety of resources we have seen in the rooms and outdoors which is lovely to see.

Day in and day out, very great communication about my child. My child is a fussy eater but the key worker always tries to make my child try new things like I want. Co-op Childcare is really welcoming and friendly, always very helpful.

My experience from my child's journey since he was 12 months has been exceptional. Staff have been very friendly, caring and patient with my son's nursery journey.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.
The nursery tailors to individual child's needs and supports parents' queries.
The staff support my child's educational and developmental needs as he grows.

I am extremely happy with this facility my daughter loved coming her for five days a week. It's nice to not worry about her when I have to be at work all week. She is learning so many new things all the time, which is lovely to see. My son also attended here and we had the same experience.

Both of my children have has and continue to have an amazing experience at nursery. Both of our children love spending time with the staff as they have all made such a positive impact on both of our boys. Our eldest will ask which staff are at nursery and he looks forward to spending time with them.
They are all great at loving, comforting and reassuring the children.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.984 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is calculated as follows: ( (367 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.984

  • 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 Finchfield is based on 31 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 31 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.
