  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton, Sutton
At Little Pioneers Sutton they love hands-on, interactive play as its perfect for encouraging learning and development at every age level. They love to learn about baking from their onsite chef and get moving during their P.E. lessons.

They are big on happy children which is why they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world. They are also big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.

They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to make their own decisions to taking care of the world.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress.

Little Pioneers Sutton Nursery has 5 home rooms split over two floors into the following age groups: on the ground floor there is one room for 3 months – 1 year olds and one room for 1-2 year olds, with access to their bathroom and nappy changing area and milk kitchen. There are three further rooms on the first floor: one small room for the 18 months to 2 year olds (depending on their development), one room for the 2-3 year olds and one room for the 3-5 year olds, all with access to their own bathrooms.

Review from Natalie (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall, we are extremely happy with the nursery and learning being undertaken by our daughter. The only negative comment I wish to make is that sometimes well recently it been extremely difficult to get the buggie out of the shed. This is due to other parents just not bothering to put their prams in-in
an orderly fashion.

Very good, always ready to accommodate all needs. They looked after our little one at the beginning with such care that absolutely exceeded my expectations. He was crying when I was leaving him for the first week, after that he was happy every day. Very good.

It's a great nursery. It's a relief to have confidence that I'm leaving my child in an environment that is safe, professional, fun; where little minds are encouraged and stimulated.

My son loves being at the nursery. That staff are lovely, polite, personable and always happy. The nursery is always clean. The lunches are really tasty and my son is always full. Communication is excellent. Any changes or updates are communicated to parents. I cannot praise the staff and the nursey
enough.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter is always so happy to go to nursery, she has built lovely relationships clearly with her key staff and I believe some other children. If there has ever been a problem the staff have communicated this to me at the earliest and put in place strategies to prevent them happening again, like
when my daughter was bitten in her early days at the nursery or she has had an accident.


The staff are welcoming and I would recommend the nursery to other parents. This being said I feel there are some areas that are looking tired and need attention; the pram shed flooring and some of the toys.

Absolutely fantastic staff. Everybody is so helpful and friendly. You can see how much they all love the children.


I feel very confident leaving my daughter with you, and she loves it too - which speaks volumes.


Prices are also very competitive and also largely irrelevant, for what you get. Incredibly

pleased with our choice of nursery.

Though the building might look a bit dated, there is no doubt this is an excellent nursery!
The people, from carers to chefs, are all very nice and seem to be enjoying being there.
We are very lucky to have found this nursery and our little one is always very happy to spend his days there!

I am very happy and satisfied that I chose this nursery. The overall standard is excellent. My child is very happy in the nursery, so it means the care is outstanding. They have lovely staff too. For a mother, the most important thing is that the child is in safe hands and this nursery provides everything
for this.

Review from Ivona B (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter used to go to The Co-operative - Sutton Nursery before we moved to another nursery in Carshalton as I changed jobs and The Co-op wasn't close to my new office. My daughter was very happy at The Co-op and was very sad when she had to say her final goodbyes.
I couldn't recommend The Co-op
Nursery at Sutton enough - excellent manager and caring staff. The manager was always flexible, friendly and accommodating and the staff were attentive, positive and supportive of my child. My daughter enjoyed the garden/play area outside and did lots of art and messy play. Although we left 3 months ago, my daughter still reminisces about her time at the nursery and talks about the staff and her old friends.
Huge thanks to all at The Co-op Nursery for the wonderful time and memories.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son settled into the nursery quickly due to such amazing staff! They gathered so much information on his interests and used this when settling him. The managers are very happy and approachable and always keep me updated when needed. I was provided with a small photo book on my son's first day of
nursery, it was so great to see him happy and playing. A brilliant nursery.

My daughter started attending the Co-operative Childcare Sutton Nursery since she was 10 months old. I would love to recommend and express my appreciation to all her carers/teachers as well as the rest of the staff members for their efforts in being key influences in my child's growth.
Sincerely from
my heart, thank you all so much. My child has always been happy and she looks forward to going to Preschool; she knows all her carers/teachers by name. She loves them, as well as the friends she's made. It really is a great childcare/nursery/pre-school. They care, and that's what matters to me as a mother.

Both of my children have attended this nursery and I couldn't be happier with the level of childcare provided, all the staff are friendly and willing to go the extra mile when required. The location of the nursery is perfect as it is only a short walk from Sutton station and the opening hours of this
nursery make it stand out compared to other nurseries in the area.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.491)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.491) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.813 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.813
  2. 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 3.678 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Sutton is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.375
    2. 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.303
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
