Overall Experience

The staff are absolutely wonderful here, they come up with great ideas for activities and often my little ones don't want to leave at the end of the day. They really care about the development and wellbeing of the children, and communicate well with us parents about progress and how their days have been. There is a lovely atmosphere in this nursery and preschool, and the facilities are great, especially the outdoor play spaces.

Overall Experience

Our little one started in September and she has been thriving ever since she absolutely loves it, literally runs out the door in the morning to go! Its a lovely nursery all the staff are fantastic and always informative with whats going on/happening, whether it be via a phonecall or the app which is extremely helpful and useful and very straight forward for a tech-phob like myself. I obviously have to give an extra special mention to Saphina and Laiba as they are the two that my little one adores and keep her happy and smiley daily.

Reply from Helen Cartwright, Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead

Thank you for your review it really means a lot to see all the hard work the girls put into supporting your child is making a huge difference, we love having her in nursery and enjoy watching her grow with her time with us.

Overall Experience

Really lovely nursery, the staff are friendly and approachable. My little boy has been at the nursery since he turned one and he's been nurtured and cared for by all the staff. The staff are great and provide regular updates on how he is doing and send photos to keep me in the loop. I love that they spend a lot of time in the garden and encourage the children to explore. My little boy is always happy to go in and I know if he's having an "off" day the staff will take time to message me to let me know he's ok. I'd recommend Little Pioneers - the staff are great!

Reply from Helen Cartwright, Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead

Thank you for your kind words, we love having your little boy with us he is such a character and always full of energy, giving the best cuddles. We look forward to more years with him and watching him grown into a little confident young boy ready for his next adventures.

Lovely nursery. Both my children are very happy here and have fantastic bonds with the staff. I love how much time they spend outside in the garden and having two gardens means that the under 2s and over 2s have their own spaces with age appropriate toys and activities.

Reply from Helen Cartwright, Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead

Thank you for your review, having our garden space is a true asset and being able to access this at all times. We love having both children at nursery and always have big smiles on their faces

Overall Experience

I am so grateful to the staff at this nursery, My daughter has had the most amazing experiences, and her well-being and joy have always been at the forefront of their minds. This is reflected in the excellent progress she's made and the beautiful little human she is becoming. I absolutely credit some of the best parts of her personality to the amount of care and love these ladies have shown her. It feels like the staff became apart of our family, and no words will be able to tell them how grateful I am for their continued kindness, understanding and patience with both myself and my daughter. She and I will never forget how supportive they were during some of the toughest times of our lives, and they were a guaranteed constant for her and I will never be able to put my gratitude into words for that. Thank you for everything you did for my little girl!

Overall Experience
I cannot recommend little pioneers maidenhead highly enough. My son had been attending there for a while now and i have seen incredible growth and happiness in him.
The staff are genuinely caring and warming. They create a warm and nurturing environment that makes it easy for children to thrive.
From the engaging activities that spark his creativity to the structured routines that provide a sense of security, I love the daily updates and communication from the teachers, which keeps me in the loop about my son's progress and milestones.

Thank you, little Pioneers for making this experience so wonderful for my son! I highly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking a loving and supportive place for their child to grow and learn.

Review from C K (Father of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to Little Pioneers Maidenhead for about two years now and it has been wonderful to see her make friends with the other children and develop strong bonds with the teachers. It is so heartwarming when she gives them a big hug to say goodbye, and I know that she enjoys her days there. There are plenty of activities and we love that the kids spend lots of time outside. The food also seems great, tasty and nutritious! Our second is on the way and we will definitely send them to Little Pioneers Maidenhead too.

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter loves going to nursery. She initially has 2-3 weeks of settling but her carers are so hands on she now loves going to nursery, feels comfortable with her carers and enjoys playing a lot.
They have so much activities that when she gets home she only have time to eat before we put her to bed. They have massive room and big garden for the babies to roam around. No stairs too which is less of a hazard.
During drop off and pick up her key person updates us on her day at the nursery which is good.
We also get daily update on what she's done on the app and weekly pictures to look forward to every Friday.
Food wise. They have varieties of food which changes every couple of weeks which helps the babies eat different options and becomes less picky when growing up.

I am not looking forward to moving up as staff have been very good to our baby. They are loving and what you want to have when looking after your child.

Reply from Helen Cartwright, Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead

With great pleasure I want to share our positive experience of visiting this nursery and pre-school Little pioneers. This is a place where they really care about children, creating a warm, friendly and safe atmosphere for them. My child goes to nursery every morning with pleasure, and this is the best indicator. Managers and educators are always friendly and open to communication, ready to help parents if any difficulties arise. We are proud of our Little Pioneers!!!

Review from R F (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my girls have attended since they were 14 months old and, whilst naturally hesitant with my first, I couldn't ask for a better place for them to be whilst I work. All staff are so attentive, supportive and make you feel as if they are there to look after just your child alone. The pick ups and drop offs are comprehensive, the kids love the food, they love to play in the outside spaces and we get wonderful updates through the app. The management team are very open to questions and discussions and have been really supportive of our personal exceptional circumstances, nappy and pottying journeys. They make you feel like nothing is too much trouble and do their best to replicate things we do at home in order to provide them with stability and consistency. Their 7:30am - 6:30pm, 52 weeks of the year opening gives us the most flexibility possible.

We knew we loved it on the open day and haven't regretted it once since!

Reply from Helen Cartwright, Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Maidenhead

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that you are so happy with the care and support your children have received. We love having the girls they bring so much joy and excitement. We love to offer you all the support you need and giving the girls the best start to their learning journey ahead.

Our daughter is delayed with her development, but hopefully, catching up now. She’s needed support and love, and the staff have been there for her all the way. The managers are outstanding.
I love that we can have a conversation about what’s working and not working for us, and they’re always so responsive.

My eldest went here too, and she still loves going back for a cuddle.

Review from Laura G (Mother of Child) published on 24 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Little Pioneers Nursery and Pre-School, Maidenhead, for just over a year and we have been really impressed. The room is always clean and airy with a wide range of changing activities and they have a lovely garden attached that they spend a lot of time in. Menu is always varied and healthy, but my favourite thing is the staff. They’re all so lovely and truly care about all the children. My son will miss them when he leaves for school, thank you to the team at Maidenhead for welcoming and nurturing him, I look forward to starting my younger son in a year's time.

Overall Experience

The nursery is running really well currently but if there are staffing issues then you just get left without childcare even though you're a regular nursery user and pay a month in advance. The staff are very happy and comforting for my child, she absolutely loves attending nursery, but can sometimes overlook care that needs to be given, i.e help to go to the toilet.

We have always had a great experience with the nursery even during a challenging times like Covid restrictions and staff shortages - clear communication is always the way. The carers are well prepared and trained, always receiving the children with a welcoming smile. Great balance of fun activities and proper learning (reading and counting).

My niece attended the nursery up until she attended school. She really enjoyed her time at the nursery, had lots of fun, ate well and had a great relationship with the staff. The outside area is incredible, especially the mud kitchen area and pet Guinea pigs! Would highly recommend it.
