  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford), Oxford
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.

Our son loves attending the nursery and he learns loads there that we definitely haven't taught him at home. The staff are invested in his development and seem genuinely engaged and happy when he has done new things. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Cathy K (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been extremely happy with Little Pioneers. Our daughter started when she was just 9 months and I was unbelievably nervous, having hardly spent any time away from her. The management and her key worker immediately put us at ease and never made me feel like I was being a nuisance when I called
multiple times in her first week. She settled in really well and, as much as it killed me leaving her for three days a week, it was lovely seeing her rapport with the staff. She even started putting her arms out to go to people that aren’t me!
Her development during the time she has been there has been fantastic. Everything she does at home is consolidated and she’s learnt so much new - “Ta” when you give her something, pointing and saying “There!”. It really feels like the staff take a huge interest in her development.
Finally, the facilities are amazing! There’s so much space and the outdoor areas are fantastic. I love arriving to pick her up and seeing her outside “happy as a clam”.

My daughter's key worker provides an excellent level of care.
I use the parent app to know what she has eaten and done in the day.
All staff are nice and I am put at ease knowing my daughter is happy and being cared for well whilst I am at work.
I would recommend the nursery to friends and family.

Review from Elizabeth A (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Pioneers Rose Hill has been the perfect place for our son to start at nursery. He has formed important bonds with a number of the staff and they are absolutely wonderful at looking after him and implementing routines that we have created. The systems in place in his room are impressive and help
it all run smoothly. We get a smile from our boy at the start of each day and then he can’t wait to get on with his time at nursery - starting with breakfast!


Thank you so much for everything you have done for him - he has loved his time at little pioneers!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault Little Pioneers; from the way it is run and organised by the nursery managers to the wonderful nursery staff who show so much love and affection to each of the children. The updates we receive are wonderful and keep us well informed of what our daughter has been up to during the day and
we always receive a warm welcome when dropping our daughter off and picking her up. The facilities have also recently been improved and are fantastic. The only change I would request would be for the children to have the opportunity to go out of the nursery occasionally although I understand that could be difficult logistically.

I have been very satisfied with the updates from the nursery and liked having the emails to know what’s going on. The staff have all been very friendly and welcoming. We were invited to a first aid course which was extremely useful to us.

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.
