Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Watford Junction is right in the heart of the centre of the town and is based on one of the platforms of Watford Junction train station, making it ideal for commuting parents and their families.
They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help to share their core values with their children such as encouraging them to express their feelings to making a difference in the world.
Their Famly app keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery with things like photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress! They are big on happy children so they have areas for growing food (and eating it) and encourage taking care of each other and the world.
They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that have big environmental differences.
Watford Junction has 4 base rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: one room for 3 months – 16 months, one room for 16 months -2 year olds, one room for the 2-3 year olds and one room for the 3-5 year olds. Each room has access to its own nappy changing facility and children's bathroom area which promotes independence for the children. All rooms have direct access to free flow play allowing access at any time to a large outside play area with a soft surface, grass area and large under cover area.
There is an extensive enclosed garden area which is tastefully sectioned off to provide safe play areas even if all age groups are out at the same time and includes a covered area to enable children to have access to the outdoors in all weather conditions.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We've loved the last year in Little Creators! It's been such a supportive and friendly environment, all the staff are amazing, especially our key worker and room leader. The detailed handover at the end of the day and wow moments are great, we couldn't be happier there.

My daughter loves this nursery, attending from the age of 7months old. The baby room is lovely with sensory, tactile toys for the babies to explore and then the toddler room and activities move them on in their understanding of the world. The staff are friendly, eager to adapt to children's...
My daughter is naturally shy but runs into nursery, is upset to leave even after a long day and has formed genuine bonds with the staff and some peers. Sadly, she's now moving on to "big school" nursery.

A special mention to Kremy, who has been wonderful with our child. Her kindness, patience, and dedication have made a real difference, and it is clear how much she cares about the children in her care. We have seen our child's confidence and development grow, and we are very grateful for all the support she provides.
We would highly recommend this nursery to other families.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are all very proud of the work we do with all of our children and your satisfaction makes all the difference.
We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery and would definitely recommend to other families.

We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery and would definitely recommend to other families. We were well supported through the settling in process, and since then our daughter has been really happy attending and well looked after. The staff are brilliant and make lots of effort to create a wide variety of activities for the children which are both educational and fun. The nursery building itself is lovely, it was refurbished a couple of years ago and has good sized classrooms and a big playground. We are grateful for all the help from the staff in encouraging our daughter's development and we will really miss the nursery and the team!
thank you so much for your personal review. It really means the world to us to have made such a positive impact on your experience and myself and my team couldn't be happier.

From supporting toilet training, dressing independently, and dummy weaning, she has encouraged and praised our daughter every step of the way, helping her grow in confidence and independence.
Her kindness, positivity, and genuine understanding of each child's individual needs shine through in everything she does.
Her handovers are always thoughtful and valuable, and she creates fun, engaging activities that make every day a wonderful learning experience.
She is truly amazing, and our daughter absolutely adores her. Our family could not praise her more highly or be more grateful for the incredible impact she has had.
Thank you, Kremy!
Thank you for such a positive and personal review of one of my team, Cristina. Thank you also for noticing the effort our team put into their work. We couldn't be happier to receive such a glowing review.

I cannot thank enough Little Pioneers for the lovely time they provide to my adorable son. Recently he doesn't want to go home, as he loves his peers. His social life is improving so much, as he has so much fun every day. The activities provided to him are so interesting that he's becoming more and more curious and this is great to see in a child. The staff is lovely and very caring. I can't recommend Little Pioneers more.
Dear Luana, we genuinely appreciate your fantastic review. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.

My baby started with little pioneers in January at 10 months old. I was extremely anxious about leaving him with total strangers and it was a really difficult transition for me going back to work. The team were so understanding, supportive and reassuring. I would get daily pictures as soon as he settled which really gave me an opportunity to relax a little knowing he was settling pretty quickly after I left him. Fast forward 2 months and I honestly couldn't be more grateful. He is a totally different boy - so confident and happy! A huge mention to some of Shea's favourite staff members - Emily, Asmaul, Leela and Zainab - thank you guys so much for taking such good care of Shea!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that you're having such a positive experience with us. Your feedback means so much to our team and I will endeavour to pass on your kinds works to them all.

My son has been at this nursery for a couple of months now and he is having a great time. The staff are friendly, warm and have a great understanding of what a toddler needs to develop. I'm so glad my son is here, I go to work with a great sense of peace of mind. Thank you for all you do

The staff have been absolutely wonderful throughout with our daughter which has definitely made the whole process much more seamless.
The early starts of 7am work brilliantly for my work commute and the communication from staff to parents is consistent.
Absolutely professional and well-managed nursery! Our experience here has been fantastic. We are an Asian family with a 3-year-old, and from the very beginning, we felt welcomed. The nursery takes care of every little detail, from a safe entrance and well-equipped playrooms to regular communication...
The management truly makes parents feel included, and the way they welcome and settle children so comfortably is commendable. They keep us informed about all key moments throughout the day with child-specific updates, which is very reassuring.
The nursery is clean, hygienic, and well-maintained. Highly recommend!
Thank you for such a wonderful review. Myself and the team work very hard to ensure all of our families feel welcome, secure and most importantly happy. Thanks again.
My daughter has been attending for over 3 years and enjoys everyday there, the staff have consistently supported her with her development.

Thank you so much for such a glowing review. I hope we continue to meet all of your expectations and we look forward to welcoming your youngest to the nursery very soon!
I'm still in awe as how well established this nursery is. The peace of mind i have when I leave my baby every morning is unheard of. I definitely did not expect to feel at ease and much less him adapting so quickly and well to being apart from us. This is all thanks to the brilliant and...
I recommend them a 100000%. Ah! It's also great for commuters which is a plus. It's all advantages with them.
Thank you for such a touching review. Building trust with our families is paramount to us and we pride ourselves in developing strong relationships with all of our families. Thank you once again.
We are extremely happy with our overall experience, and the staff have been exceptionally kind. The cleanliness and quality are top-notch. The location is convenient for commuters, making it an ideal choice. We would highly recommend it to anyone in Watford.
