They support you through appointments and help you gain an understanding for more. They have been so helpful and supportive with our sons journey.
I have nothing but positive praise to give the nursery. The communication is brilliant and I am fully up to date with my child's development and I get updates on his next steps. I honestly feel like all staff are aware of my child's needs, including office staff, and they take a big interest in his interests and our interests as a family. They are so welcoming and always have time to talk to me and my husband. I feel reassured that my child is in safe hands with the girls and he has blossomed. My child has developed so much during his time in nursery. The transition was outstanding from the baby room to the under-two room, the staff were aware that my child was emotional and we felt reassured that this was done in his best interests. The same is currently happening during his transition to the next room, staff are making the transition smooth and truly want the best for my child. I could not recommend this nursery any more and I feel lucky that my child attends.
Key worker is fantastic and has taken time to build a great relationship with my child. The regular staff in my daughter's room also have a good relationship with her. The staff build a caring and nurturing learning environment which promotes holistic development for my child.
Hetton Little Pioneers is a fantastic nursery, set in a beautiful environment, with such an amazing set of staff that are so welcoming. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since she started and is so confident in herself now too. The staff are always friendly and positive which is lovely to see, they provide outstanding care of the children, placing the children first in everything they do. They are just a fantastic nursery and you know your child is in safe hands, and will be having so much fun when they are there.
My daughter has progressed so much since starting this nursery. Absolutely fantastic staff always happy to help and are amazing! Nothing is ever a problem and if you need reassurance your child is okay if they have gone in a little upset they are always on hand updating the app with pictures or say you can call them to check in. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Thank you.
The team at Little Pioneers are so friendly and make you and your child feel welcome from the outset. You are kept informed of your child’s progress and development on regular occasions and the added photos show how happy your child is. This gives you as a parent the greatest confidence that you made the right choice of nursery. It definitely shows that the team’s hard work and dedication to your child, is worthwhile and they really do care for the development of your child and help them prepare for school. I really couldn’t thank the team at Little Pioneers enough for all their support, my child is doing amazingly well. The only slight downfall is that due to the amount of equipment/toys/resources/tools they have to help your child develop, occasionally it is not as clean (for example dust is shown, especially on items hanging from the ceilings/walls) and the garden could do with a sweep up more regularly. However, I would not say it impacts the children and my child always has fun.
We had to take a little sabbatical from the nursery, but when I tell you we’re stampeding our way back in with both our kids, that would be the understatement of the century! We love these girls. The love and care they provide our boys and us as a family is unreal. The play spaces in the rooms are so imaginative and well thought out, amazing kid's play but with a hidden structure which educates your kids without it being anything but pure fun for them! You really feel like you’re leaving your children with family here. Couldn’t ask for more!
This nursery has been so supportive and I have no criticisms whatsoever in 8 years of sending my children here. Staff are attentive, friendly and professional. The nursery is always so clean and every milestone is supported to the child’s individual needs. Could not ask for a better nursery on my doorstep. Thank you all so much.
What a wonderful nursery! Staff are always happy and friendly and engage with the children even staff from other rooms. I am always given feedback on my daughter's day and love to hear what she has been up to. Staff are great and carrying on learning and things while we are working on things at home. They treat my daughter like she is the most important person there as they do for all of the children. I couldn't have picked a better place for my daughter to spend her days when she's not with me!
Little Pioneers is a beautiful place to send our kids. The staff are really nice people that take care of your kids as if they were theirs. Really a great nursery. Great environment an excellent outcome.
Everyone is so helpful and comforting. When leaving my son I was so worried as he hasn't been left with anyone (just myself and Dad) so leaving him was such a big deal for us and the staff was so supportive and caring. Keeping me updated throughout the day. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Our little boy started nursery here back in October. After a year of maternity, I was very anxious to be going back to work and leaving him in the care of others. The nursery was brilliant at easing my anxiety. I leave him there knowing he is super safe and supported and knowing he is going to have a lovely day! So glad we chose Little Pioneers.
I couldn't speak more highly of this nursery. We have both of our children attend on a regular basis. The staff are very good and engaging. Our kids love being there. If we are lucky enough to have more children, we will be using this nursery again. Not only do our kids get so much from the nursery, but we as parents enjoy drop off and pick up. We love a quick chat with the girls and discussing how our kids are progressing.
My daughter recently started nursery and was initially wary and often upset when going, the friendly staff quickly put her at ease and she always comes home telling stories of how much fun she has had.
My child enjoys coming to this nursery and their development has come on amazing since attending. The classrooms are always set out beautifully with some fantastic activities for the children to enjoy. I specifically like how they are growing vegetables and herbs in one of the classes and letting the children join in with this.
My son has been at this nursery since 12 months old. On my first visit to the nursery, I knew it was where I wanted him to attend. The attention to detail was great. I was shown around every single part of the nursery, all of the rooms, gardens, sensory room etc. The staff are amazing with the children. On my son's 1st visit, he was even given some dinner and his key worker who had just met him completely took over, bib on, fed him, and cleaned him up. This really put my mind at ease seeing how well my son reacted to someone else caring for him and how great his key worker was with him after literally just meeting him. Almost 2 years later he has had a few different key workers and has gotten on amazing with all of them. The activities they do with them from being tiny right through the ages has helped my son develop his skills massively. I cannot thank this nursery enough for how much they do for us. They also have a parents committee which allows parents' ideas and thoughts to be heard.
My little boy has recently started at the nursery and after spending the last two years with close family, he's been a little apprehensive to be left at nursery. The staff have been amazing with him from the first day, they've arranged additional settling in days to help his transition and are always really welcoming. When he's been unsettled at drop off, the staff are always able to quickly calm him down and I get regular updates to let me know he's doing well. The room has such a wide range of activities and my little boy has such a good time whenever he's at nursery. Would definitely recommend.
My Daughter loves spending time here, she only attends one day a week at the moment but she has come on leaps and bounds and she loves learning different things. The staff are so helpful and her key person is very knowledgeable and really puts my daughter's needs first.
My first visit to the nursery blew me away. I wasn't intending to put my child in any earlier than him turning a year but after seeing the set up and the friendly and informative staff I was looking forward to seeing my child be a part of a wonderful nursery. I love how caring and genuine they are. My child has developed so much and I love seeing how happy he is and the support I get from the staff is something else. Always go above and beyond. Highly recommend this nursery!
My son has been with this nursery for two years. The nursery staff have supported my son with achieving so much from developing his speech and also with his eating. Staff let me know each day how he is doing. I would highly recommend this nursery. Staff also developed themed areas to help settle my son into each room as he has grown from baby room up to the pre school room
