  • 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.

We love this nursery. The staff are very friendly and caring. They all seem to truly enjoy their jobs and love the children they care for. I feel like my child is being left with family when he's there. The facilities provided for the children are outstanding and we have seen so much progress in our
child's learning.

Very happy with leaving my son here. It's important that he's somewhere we feel he is safe and cared for. All of his carers have been fantastic so far and he has developed superb relationships with them which is great to see as a parent.

I have sent both my children to Co-operative Childcare Finchfield.
I have one in the toddler room and one in pre-school.
I have recommended this nursery to 3 - 4 friends.
The settling is friendly and welcoming with very good staff. They cater to the children's needs and more.
Definitely 100% the
best nursery around.

I feel the resources, facilities and activities were excellent before the nursery merged with the Bilston Nursery. Now that the butterflies room has moved upstairs it is more hassle for me to drop my daughter off quickly in the morning and I am concerned how carefully she is able to climb the stairs
when they go out to play. The new butterflies room is smaller than previously and the upstairs corridors are crowded. I look forward to when the Bilston Nursery can go back to their own building and this nursery may become as it used to be.

The nursery provides a safe and nurturing environment for our son.


He has a great bond with his key worker and he is flourishing.


The nursery/home link is fantastic, with visual and written nursery day and development updates. Homelink books and activities are provided to take home and return,

which strengthens the link.


The nursery provides nutritious meals and snacks catering for different dietary requirements, which was very important for us.


We really couldn’t ask for more from a nursery.

The Co-Operative Finchfield Nursery in Wolverhampton is a fantastic place for your child to flourish and develop their skills prior to moving on to Infants School. It is a great place where staff are readily available to detail every day what your child has done in that time and I am so glad we made
the choice for all our three boys to come here.

We are very happy with the service and care that Finchfield Nursery provides to my children. The nursery staff pay particular attention to development and learning activities with the kids, which is very much welcome. The best gauge I think for how well the nursery is operated is that the children
look forward to attend nursery and come away from the facility after each visit with new learning experiences.

The nursery is a safe and professional environment. My daughter loves going and is welcomed by all the staff not just her key worker. She is a very clever girl and that is down to the curriculum they follow. The parent zone app which has been introduced is a fantastic tool as I now get live updates
on what she has eaten and what she is learning on that day.

The Co-op nursery is so helpful, friendly and supportive in providing updates and feedback on my daughter's development.
The staff are all friendly and take very good care of my daughter.
My daughter is always happy to go to nursery even when she’s not at her best due to teething.
The new parent
zone app is great. It’s updated at regular intervals, detailing meals, nappy changes, nap and also observational updates and pictures. A great insight into my daughters day and effortless to check.
This app clearly shows why the Co-op has received an outstanding rating from foster year upon year.
I would recommend to family and friends always and definitely continue to use the nursery for future children.
Thank you to all the staff for everything you do daily for my daughter and I.

My son is doing very well in many aspects of his development. Within a week of him starting nursery back in September, he was walking. He settled very quickly and I believe it was due to the staff who are very welcoming and attentive.
I'm glad I chose this nursery for my son to attend.

Staff are very good with communicating with parents and children and they are very informative. More activities would be beneficial for the kids as well as more outdoor trips.

My little girl has been coming to The Co-Operative Childcare Finchfield since she was 10 months old and she loves it. She is 3.5 years old now and they are really helping get her ready for reception. She has progressed so much and its all down to the lovely staff and the time and effort the put in.

Wonderful nursery! My daughter loves going here. Has come on in leaps and bounds since attending this nursery. Staff are all excellent. Love the fact that their pre-school is now in a classroom setting and she gets to wear a uniform (which she gets very excited about wearing) which will help her adapt
to 'big school' easily.

My son attends this Nursery. He joined when he was 9 months old. In such a short space of time, he has grown to love this place. Happy to be going in the morning and doesn't want to leave to go home. Just after the first couple of months, I had noticed a change in him. He had learnt so much and was
beginning to communicate and listen, as well as responding to words. As a first-time parent, nothing satisfies me more than knowing my child is happy with the choice I made for him. I have since recommended this nursery to various family and friends who are sending their kids here too.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.986 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 24 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 24 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.
