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

My daughter loves coming to nursery at Rose Hill and I feel really happy dropping her off knowing she'll have a fun and stimulating day. They do loads of different activities and the outdoor space is great. Would definitely recommend to other parents.

Little Pioneers is an outstanding nursery where our little boy is very, very happy. The staff care for him like big sisters - Thank you.

We sent both our children here for a reason and would recommend it to anyone. It's a wonderful place.

We love this nursery. They are friendly and caring. A lot of time is invested in our child and his development and daily activities. It's very clean with excellent resources, especially after the recent refurb. We've already recommended it to friends.

I moved to Oxford recently and my son, who is now 3 years old, started attending Rose Hill mid July.

I was amazed on how quickly he was settled. The staff at Rose Hill is very friendly and made him feel welcome right from the beginning. Everyday he comes back home singing the songs he learns at Rose Hill.

From the parents point of view, I am very happy with the feedback provided by the staff. At pick up times they always tell me in details how the day was. There is a website where I can check what my child has eaten and for how long he has slept. In the same website they provide a report about my son's development. Academically, I feel that my son is being challenged to learn new things in a nourishing environment.

We are very happy with this nursery and have recommended to several friends. Our toddler started here when he was 12 months and was quickly helped to settle in. All of the staff are very kind and know what they are doing! We feel confident that he is in safe hands. The communication with the nursery is excellent too, and they were happy for me to call several times in the first few weeks, to check how he was doing, which helped to reassure me. We are impressed by the space, and it always very clean. We also make use of the long opening hours. No complaints!

First my son, and now my daughter, attend this nursery. It has been a really good environment for both of them. The staff are very caring and good with the children. They think of an amazing range of fun things for the children to do. The food is varied and really nice (both my kids are vegetarian and they've always been very happy). The overall ethos is really good, with the staff treating all the children equally and dealing very well with behavioural issues when these arise. I was also very impressed by how they worked to ensure that children with disabilities are happy at the nursery. There are also lots of learning opportunities for them as they progress up through caterpillars, ladybirds and butterflies up into pre-school. I genuinely think this is an excellent nursery and have always felt very happy having my children there. In fact, I think my son misses it a lot now that he has started at primary school!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. My daughter talks so much about what she is being taught in school and how she loves her teachers, which is awesome. To crown it all she loves the chef. Great job!

My son at first had been shy and quiet at nursery but then he created strong bonds with both of his key workers and he has come out of his shell. It was such a positive experience to see that his key workers (on the baby and toddler rooms) warmed up to him quickly and put the time and effort into getting to know him. He gets a lot of attention from the nursery staff who focus on his needs and his strengths. It’s brilliant to get updates via the Parentzone app, so I can plan his meals at home and I can see how much he slept.

When he started nursery I was quite anxious and I called the nursery very often to check if he was ok. The staff were always very helpful and understanding and reassured me every time. I find the management excellent, very professional and extremely helpful.

There are lots of weekend activities arranged at the nursery as well which is an additional bonus.

Rose Hill is a fantastic nursery with excellent management. The staff are very caring and our daughter loves it there and is learning so much. We're very happy we chose it. It feels safe, supportive and nurturing.

We are extremely happy with the way the nursery has taken care of our two daughters. The staff are really kind and patient with the children, there are lots of great activities (eg lots of art and craft, learning Spanish) and there is plenty for the kids to play with and do. There is also great outdoor space that is heavily used in the warmer parts of the year. The management are helpful and efficient and have always been happy to take time to address any problems we've had. The best thing about the nursery is the people through - the girls have had a series of brilliant key people who have really forged good relationships with them, so they've very rarely been upset at being left there for the day or said they don't want to go. The food is fab - the chef has won national awards! - and the space is lovely, bright and open but with lots of little nooks for the children to explore. They even stay open later than many nurseries, which is convenient. Overall, I heartily recommend it!

All staff are very friendly and my child is always happy and bouncy when leaving nursery. Always tells us that she enjoys it.

Staff are very professional and friendly. My daughter really enjoys going to the nursery. The staff have been really good at helping with potty training and working on her manners. The new app means I can get updates and pictures direct to my phone while she's at nursery. There's always freshly prepared food that she likes to eat and is good for her.

The staff has always been accommodating of my child’s emotional needs. Their care is warm and loving and all that children need at such a tender age. The lunches provided are of a good variety. Staff are always willing to listen to suggestions for improvement and give ample time to ask about your child, should our children arrive at nursery with big emotions! I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to any parent/carer of a child.

My daughter has been attending Co-Operative Childcare Oxford (Rose Hill) Nursery for the better part of a year and I am so pleased with her development since she started attending. I give all credit to the entire staff at this nursery. I did not expect that any nursery would take so much individual care for my daughter, but they have gone above and beyond. Every teacher and/or staff member at the nursery knows my daughter well, attends to her when needed and frequently request more information from me to better help her during her time at preschool. She asks me to go to school everyday, even on the weekends. Her speech, social skills and overall personal development has really grown over this last year and I really can't thank Co-Operative Childcare Oxford (Rose Hill) Nursery enough.

I am happy knowing that they are safe and loved.

Lovely, caring nursery.

The team at Rosehill are brilliant. My child loves the team and has built relationships there which I value.

The staff are just fantastic and the facilities are excellent - really great outdoor play space too.

The staff are all very friendly and have helped my daughter to become less clingy...... she will still grump a little when dropped off but when I pick her up the staff always tell me how well behaved she has been and how helpful she has been..... she loves going to nursery and loves her "teachers" as she calls them!!!! They interact well with her and always make her feel safe and happy :) I am very glad that I chose to send her to The Co-operative Childcare Oxford Nursery!
