My daughter has been at Little Pioneers since it opened and we have had an excellent experience, and she absolutely loves her time there. The staff are fantastic, all so friendly and do all they can to help, especially the manager and her team. The facilities, equipment and toys are all high quality
and I like that they mostly use wooden items instead of plastic. The children do lots of varied activities and I'm confident that my daughter's early years education is being well looked after. The outdoor space is limited (as it's a town nursery) but nice, they seem to get outside every day. The food is nutritious, although the menu is relatively basic.

My twins have been going here since the start of January 2023 and they both absolutely love going. All the staff and the management team make them feel so welcome when they arrive at the nursery. Also, the management team will answer any questions and queries that I may have. The nursery has a wonderful
outdoor space which both of my children love and they enjoy the freshly cooked meals that are served at meal times. The staff in the preschool room have made me and the twins feel so welcome and my twins adore all the members of staff in the room. One of my twins is under speech and language and her speech since she started in January has come on in leaps and bounds and this is down to the nursery supporting her development and learning. I would definitely recommend this nursery to any of my friends.

Extremely happy with the nursery. My son goes to preschool and he loves every single moment spent there. He's grown so much since started in September 2022. The preschool teachers quickly identified what he's good at and encourage him to continue improving. They also encourage him to keep trying something
new and he's exposed to lots of different activities. The amount of care that each member puts on each child is great and I can feel that they look after kids really well. The facility is top mark around the area as it's brand new, and maintained really well. The staff is absolutely fantastic, both nursery teachers and management staff. Can't fault anything. The nursery fee is expensive even considering the quality of the staff, learning and equipment/facility. But I believe it's the same at nurseries elsewhere.
All in all, we are really happy that we've chosen Little Pioneers Warwick Gates.

Since our little one has been attending Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school she has come on leaps and bounds with her speech, interaction, writing her own name and confidence. The team are very friendly and approachable. There has never been a day that she has not wanted to go and always has something
wonderful to tell us about her day whether it be the activity they have done that day, the friends she has played with or what she has made. The setting is pristine and very secure.

Welcoming, friendly, happy, supportive, professional, nurturing, patient, enthusiastic, understanding and an extremely warm and caring environment to bring your child into. They show expertise in every aspect of a child’s development, mentally, physically and emotionally. From the moment you walk through
the door, you are greeted with smiles. Children have well thought out meals and fruit is always available.
I couldn’t wish for anywhere better to send my granddaughter, I feel positive in the knowledge that she is being well cared for and is in safe hands.

Our little one has been going here for just over month and I can't believe the changes already. She is eating better and talking more. The staff are fantastic and so encouraging for the little ones to try new things.
Can't find any faults.

Absolutely beautiful and pristine nursery. Not only are the premises top-notch, but the available equipment is also new, tailored, reviewed regularly and adapted to our son's needs. All the rooms are with air conditioning, are bright and of comfortable sizes. The staff are absolutely brilliant, so passionate
about their job and very committed to each individual child. They have helped us greatly in learning more about our son's development and how to provide the best approach to his needs. This is his second nursery and he has never been this happy in a nursery before. Finally, one important thing that was lacking in the previous nursery and I am thrilled with at Little Pioneers is that there is a truly great balance between the number of kids and carers. Often, you see a small number of carers being overwhelmed as they watch too many children at one time. This is really not the case at Little Pioneers and that frankly makes for one very peaceful and content mum.

The opening of the new Little Pioneers Nursery is most certainly worth the wait! A 5-star review from us!
Our little one, just a few weeks in, is starting to settle really well, and that is firstly credit to the amazing team and secondly the nursery itself.
As parents, we appreciate the careful thought
and time that has gone into setting up the nursery, a buggy shed, parents' room, brightly coloured and spacious air-conditioned rooms with a sensory overload, and a huge garden with many play areas that can be used all year round.
The staff are fab, and during the settle-in sessions took the time to really understand our little one and what would help the journey from home to nursery. The app updates and communication are also 5-star; we love keeping on top of progress.
Thank you to the team - we just hope we can add extra days!

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.
