  • 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.

Nice environment, high standards, very nice, caring staff. I wish the parents' app and updates were more up to date and just better overall. The newsletter is almost pointless as some of the events it talks about are already passed by the time it is received and it does not give essential details. Communication
is not always very good regarding booking, payments etc. So, happy overall with this excellent nursery where my son is blossoming each week but could improve on some points given the high standards it is setting itself.

My daughter has attended this nursery/pre-school for the past 3 years and she has developed some wonderful relationships with her key workers and other children.
My only concern has been, at times, the staff turnover which has directly affected my daughter on a number of occasions.

My daughter has been with Co-operative since she was 10months old and she loves it. Staff are always pleasant and nothing is ever too much trouble. Since being in pre-school my daughter has had the opportunity to do Forest School, intergenerational programme, boogie mites and balance bikes which have
been fantastic for her confidence which has grown two-fold. I love the parent app which keeps you up-to-date with your child's day and you can view their latest assessments. We have built up a good rapport with her pre-school EYP who always has the children's interests at heart and is always keen to get us involved in our daughter's learning. Recently a phonics workshop was held at the nursery to enable parent's to see how these were being taught as well as advising us on how we can help with their learning at home. We will be sad to say goodbye in July when big school calls but are thankful for all the staff for giving her the best start in her education. Keep up the great work.

The care, development and learning opportunities that he receives are fantastic.
He has really thrived as a result of his secure bond with his key person and all the staff within the unit. At nursery, he is a happy, chatty, kind little boy who has gained these attributes and confidence from the brilliant
staff. I know how much they care and how hard they work.

My daughter has settled really well at this nursery in such a short space of time. It was such a big thing for me as I never wanted to send her anywhere, to be honest! Her room manager is fantastic, her key worker is just the most lovely person I have ever met and the manager is amazing, always has
time to speak and make you feel at ease. I would most definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter is very settled at this nursery, she has an excellent bond with her key worker and good relationships with staff and children. She has been there since she was 9 months old and has developed greatly since being here. Sometimes the food can be repetitive and very small portions sizes which
is not always good value for money. The garden area is decking for the younger children which in bad weather can be very slippery and unsafe.

Our daughter has a great time at Finchfield.
She is learning new things all the time. All the staff are really helpful and our daughter gets on with them all really well.
I really like that they encourage messy play as my daughter loves it! We can see our daughter developing all the time and everyone
at Finchfield play a big part in helping that happen.

My son started at the Finchfield Nursery back in 2014, he has been in Caterpillars, Butterflies and currently he is in pre-school but will soon be leaving to start full-time school in September.
Every member of staff that has been part of my son's nursery journey have been amazing, and I thank them
all for helping him grow into the outgoing, confident and kind boy he is today. They have prepared him so well for starting reception and we know he is more than ready to begin his adventure at big school thanks to the hard work of the nursery.


My daughter also attends the nursery and she loves it! She has built great relationships with other children and staff.

My daughter has been having a great time. She loves going to nursery. She has learnt many new things and she has been eating better, she has tried new food at nursery and we are very pleased. Her key worker is great with her as are all the staff membersI have met so far.
We have followed advice given
to us by members of staff about activities they do with her that we can replicate at home.
My daughter seems to be very happy here and so are we.

My son's keyworker has, to date, offered outstanding support and commitment to ensure my son has settled into his classroom. She has been calm, kind and warm with my son, who has settled in well into his classroom. She has outstanding skills as an early intervention practitioner and always notifies
us of any key developments. My son's other keyworker has inputted excellent work into my son, who has become more confident and vocal. He often undertakes educational/learning sessions with my son, which he thoroughly enjoys and talks about at home. Since my son started this nursery at ten months, he has excelled and meeting all his developmental milestones. We appreciate all the support offered.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.987 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.987

  • 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 25 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 25 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.
