Excellent nursery. This one is our second nursery, and you do see the difference ! My baby is really happy there and acclimated really quick to her new environment with the help of everyone in the room.
There are varieties in food and activities, plenty of space inside and outside for her to run and
explore !
The staffs are more than lovely and they take really good care of my child !

My daughters have attended the nursery since they were 9 months and the care at the nursery has been outstanding throughout. We continue to see their development and personalities thrive as a result of their time at nursery. All of the staff are great, we get good updates in the app and at pick-up up
and they eat much better there than we can encourage at home. I can't thank Little Pioneers enough.

We are so happy that we got our firstborn into this nursery. It helps that it's a 5 minute drive from our house, but even if further afield, we would happily travel to keep him here. Our new son will take his spot at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Warwick Gates and we're delighted!
The staff
are incredible. They pay full attention to each child's needs, helping develop communication and motor skills. They provide clear updates on their strategy and continue helping our son to blossom and develop. They're fair, patient, kind and caring. The food is also excellent and he gets his breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks here. All the food is nutritional and homemade. Our son had a dairy allergy for the first 12 months and we had no issues with this being catered for.
Our son loves going to nursery and you cannot put a price on the piece of mind it offers knowing your child is being loved, nurtured and cared for.
The manager and the entire team deserve medals. I would wholeheartedly recommend Little Pioneers to anybody.

My son has received excellent care from all key workers in his class they are all so passionate about their duty of caring, educating, teaching, providing and looking after him. He has come on leaps and bounds since he has been at nursery with interaction with other children in the class and his key
workers. He also loves going to nursery every week and enjoys being there.

Both of my children absolutely love Little Pioneers - Warwick Gates nursery, they learn so much and are adored by the staff. I feel I can talk to the staff as they are very friendly including management and make me feel very involved.
My daughter always latches to at least one member of staff and
seeing the bond is adorable.
I never feel I am getting a rushed update on the children and being pushed out the door which I did at a previous nursery (understandably the staff are very busy though)
They both love going into nursery.

Such a lovely nursery, all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Go the next mile to make sure they say hello/goodbye to my son even when passing in the corridor and are not his core support staff.
Room is always very clean.
Kept informed and get photos most days via the app.
Love that they
do activities that I would never do at home!
Variety of food is good and balanced.
Nursery costs are extremely high!

Little Pioneers Warwick Gates has been a wonderful journey for my now 4 year old who is ready to start school in September. The staff are just so warm, caring and welcoming. The facilities here are brilliant, lovely vibrant clean airy rooms with so much for the children to play with and explore. The
garden area is exceptional and it reflects when my little boy is out there and enjoying all the different areas such as the veggie patch, sand pit and mud kitchen!
I would highly recommend this nursery, so happy my boy started his journey here who has grown into a confident, adventurous and knowledgeable little man.

I looked at various nurseries in the local area (for my 2-year-old at the time) and by miles “Little Pioneers” cooperative was the best - so modern and beautiful with lots of various educational rooms and all on one floor. This was the right choice of nursery for my child. The staff have been truly
amazing in each of the 3 rooms to my child and the management team have always been amazingly supportive whenever you need anything. The food at lunch is highly nutritious and always varied. I highly recommend this nursery. I’m so glad I chose it.

My children have been attending here since the start of the year and they both absolutely love coming to nursery. The staff members in the preschool room give up to date information on what they are doing throughout the day and support the development and learning of my children for where they need
to be. My children’s speech has come on especially my daughter who is currently under speech and language and they work together with myself and my partner to support my daughter’s learning. The management team at the nursery are welcoming and will answer any problems or queries that we may have and will support you as a family on an individual basis. The other members of staff throughout the nursery always say hello and make my children feel welcome and I find this is such a lovely thing. My children love the freshly cooked meals that are prepared onsite and will ask for the same meals at home when they don’t attend the nursery. I'll definitely be recommending this nursery to anyone who asks.

I have to say I have been blown away by both the facility and the standard of care. The nursery itself is well laid out, with a fantastic outdoor space full of activities - lots of natural materials, an outdoor track, an orchard and vegetable patch, a huge sandpit, etc! The staff are always willing
to go out there too, rain or shine! Inside they have beautifully laid out rooms with loads of things to do, learn and try. The staff do excellent handovers at the end of the day, keep you in the loop via a special app during the day, and take an active interest in what you’ve been doing at home so they can make even more of these experiences at nursery. The teaching element feels very collaborative and I always feel I know where my daughter is at developmentally, what is being done at nursery to encourage and develop her, and what I can do at home to support that learning also. The nursery feels a genuinely happy place, full of fun as well as real opportunities for learning ahead of school.

My two children (1 and 3) have both been going to Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School for several months. They absolutely love it.
The staff are exceptional - so caring, considerate and amazing with the children. Both of my kids have formed really warm bonds with many members of staff, and of course
in particular with their key workers.
The management is also fantastic: always willing to listen; I'm in awe of how well they've got this nursery functioning within such a short space of time.
The facilities are wonderful - large, bright rooms with great toys and learning/play spaces and a spacious and fun outdoors space.
Thank you to everyone at Little Pioneers and I'd recommend this nursery unreservedly to any parents thinking about registering!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Warwick Gates is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.930 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Warwick Gates is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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, Warwick Gates 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, 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.
