At Little Pioneers Rose Hill they love to get parents involved and so they arrange special days throughout the year just for parents and families. Like an Easter egg hunt, Sports day, Gardening Day and Grandparents' Tea.

They have an app, ParentZone, which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress. They are big om 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 are big on happy children and 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 have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent and taking care of the world.

Little Pioneers Rose Hill Nursery makes the most of a versatile four-playroom interior in order to see early years education thrive. There is a large, secure outdoor garden with a separate section for babies, including a large sandpit and a covered soft area. Children are also able to enjoy facilities including an allotment area where they learn how to take care of plants; fruit, vegetables and flowers and enjoy watching them grow.

Every since my son started going to this nursery he started thriving and his cognitive development was massively improved eery since. Staff is very attentive caring and great at keeping is informed about our son's progress.
Special mention goes to food served - it's very varied and offers great options.
Overall, extremely satisfied with this nursery.

My son has recently started at the nursery in the baby room he has settled in well and has built strong relationships with the key person and buddy. The staff are always very friendly and approachable. The parent app is great as I receive regular updates about his day and I especially enjoy seeing photos
of him playing.

I cannot speak too highly of this wonderful nursery. All the staff are so kind and friendly all the time and ready to greet our daughter each morning that she attends. Whether she is in a good mood or feeling more grumpy, she is instantly happy to go inside and always leaves at the end of the day talking
about how much fun she has had. The staff are brilliant at promoting and supporting her learning and it is generally a fabulous environment. Also, in general it is great that they have been able to be flexible with our needs as parents working in the NHS through this last year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughters attended the Little Pioneers nursery and pre-school in Rose Hill from when they were 8 months old to school age. They absolutely loved it there and we could not have been happier with the care they received. First and foremost, the staff is very motivated to provide a fun, stimulating,
and loving environment and all of them engage amazingly with the children. The nursery is very well organised and led, and one can see that the staff feels appreciated and is motivated to come to work. My daughters easily found friends there and they were always looking forward to going to nursery in the morning. And last but not least, the food was nutritious, child-friendly, and well-loved by my little ones as well. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Litlle Pioneers nursery in Rose Hill!

This nursery is the best nursery in Oxford in my humble opinion.
Oxford is a vibrant busy city to live in as a parent. Finding the right childcare for us wasn't as easy as it might appear in such an overpopulated town.
After much searching and enquiring, we found this lovely nursery.
The staff
are dedicated and focused on the children's happiness and development at all times. The majority of staff members, particularly the management, have stayed in their positions for a long time. Stability is prominent here, showing it is a good place to work.
Most importantly my daughters were very happy here. My youngest, in particular, thrived in this nurturing and loving environment. Every detail is carefully thought of and implemented for the good of the children, down to the lovely healthy food they provide here.

Our child loved his time at Little Pioneers. The staff made him feel very special, and we were sad when we moved away and had to find a new nursery. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough - the staff, the facilities, the catering are all excellent, and our child still talks about his key persons
all the time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am not sure where to start. We had our two daughters in this nursery for the last 4 and 2 years respectively. The staff has been absolutely exceptional - our daughters had a fantastic time here and there really isn't anything I would wish more from a nursery. I was particularly impressed by how much
work the staff put into encouraging curiosity and joy for learning in our children. Our daughters loved the food, the outdoor activities, the rabbit, songs, books, baking, and in general the brilliant care that was given to them. Overall, a truly outstanding nursery!

Review from Tristan H (Father of Child) published on 3 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A great nursery, my wife chose this one as it was close to work and the Ofsted report was good. Both my daughter and us the parents were always treated well and assisted with any queries. My daughter started at six months of age and she is only leaving, regretfully at 18 months old to be closer to
where we live. The nursery is always immaculately clean, organised and the girls all, always keen and willing to help. The manager helped me on countless occasions when my admin was somewhat lacking. I cannot remember all the girls names unfortunately, my daughter's room manager was also very helpful and caring, which was great with such a young one. We are moving my daughter to a nursery near our house now for logistical reasons, we hope our experience will be as good as at Rose Hill, otherwise we will be back.

Lovely nursery. Both key persons our son has had so far in the two different rooms have been great and he is developing very well, (he is now 20 months old). They recognise his needs and interests and it's a great place for him to develop socially as well. The routine is great and the food is cooked
especially for them on site. Recently, they have had to shut for most children due to the virus outbreak, but they are keeping open for key children. With their useful app, they are sending activities and videos of themselves, which our son enjoys.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend the nursery enough! Having viewed several it was clear that this was our preferred choice with all aspects of nursery life.
My child's key worker has been instrumental in the settling in process and worked so hard to create a relationship with my child. It is so clear to see how
happy he is and trusting of her and the other team members.
He hasn't been looked after by anyone else due to family being some distance away so what could have potentially been a very challenging time was made so much easier thanks to them putting myself and my child at ease.
We are now moving areas but remaining at the nursery as we are so impressed and feel it's worth traveling to.

Fantastic nursery! My boy attended from 11 months until due to a house move we had to move him at 20 months. I wouldn’t have moved him otherwise. Best nursery in Oxford in my opinion. The manager and the team are amazing with the children and have given my son the best start to his life. Thank you

I am very happy with the nursery and our overall experience that we have been offered. Communication with the children is good, staff are always willing to help and are caring. They understand how to manage the children in a positive manner, my daughter feels very comfortable and happy when she's at
nursery and wants to stay more. Which clearly shows she is enjoying herself. The staff are doing a very good job, well done to all and thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.755 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.755
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is based on 24 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
