  • 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.

Couldn't ask for a better key-worker.
My son is very happy with-in the nursery. Every week he learns something new, and if it wasn't for his key-worker and manager, I would not have felt comfortable leaving him here.
Just not happy with different staff all the time.

My daughter has excelled since starting in Butterfly's 2. Her key worker is nurturing and treats her as her own. I couldn't ask for a better setting and key worker to look after my child and would highly recommend. Staff change in the room has been a bit scary but I'm glad that one staff member, in
particular, is still with us.

My daughter has settled into pre-school two very well. The nursery environment is excellent, and the variety of learning opportunities are great. She loves to come to the nursery and has made excellent attachments with the staff they are so welcoming. Thank you all!

I am so happy with the way my son has developed, not only educationally but as a person too since starting at The Co-operative nursery. The nursery provides a safe secure and stimulating environment for little ones and I have felt so happy leaving him here in the care of the fantastic staff. He has
built up a close bond with the staff who have looked after him and was assigned to a key worker, who has supported him closely. My son has loved coming here and made some lovely friends here. We will miss it very much. But I feel comforted knowing that he will be ready to embark on the next chapter of his life in school, having received such a good education and grounding from The Co-operative. I highly recommend to other parents.

Really pleased with my child's last assessment before leaving pre-school for attending school. He has progressed so much in all areas of his development and has become so confident in himself. Graduation was very well organised and planned very well. All children really enjoyed the celebration. My son
will miss nursery so much and I can't thank all the staff enough for all the hard work and support you have given us.

My son attended this nursery and now my daughter is in the baby room. The ladies in the room make me and my child feel welcome, respond to my concerns and I feel happy leaving her there each day.
I have every faith in this nursery and am pleased with the service my child receives. I would certainly
recommend this setting to other prospective parents.

All the staff are extremely helpful and polite, very helpful. The class teachers, members are very positive to all the children and encourage the children in all subjects and activities, it is very encouraging when the children want to go to the nursery first thing in the morning! And they praise the
teachers themselves. The nursery we joined before was the opposite, our child didn't like to go there for some reason! Speaks for itself! Also smells very clean every day spotless!
Thanks to All members at the Finchfield Co-op Nursery.

I'm more than happy to review The Co-operative Childcare Finchfield, credit where credit is due, my child adores her friends and 'her grown-ups'. The staff are so attentive from reception staff to key workers who all know my child and greet her every day she is there. I can leave my child knowing she
is content in her surroundings and the people who care for her. The standard of the nursery itself is clear as soon as you walk in and I wouldn't expect the nursery to be any less than outstanding at Ofsted. I would always highly recommend The Co-operative Childcare Finchfield to anyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.983 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 30 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 30 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.
